Second game done. More issues (which have probably been said numerous times) but Iāll say them anyway:
Passing icons constantly changing. Players are far too slow to get in position, meaning the corresponding passing icons are always changing. They should be constant, eg X for close, then square, triangle and then circle for furthest away.
And on positioning there really needs some work done on that. It should generally go 10, 12, 13, 15 then winger off rucks and mauls (appreciate sometimes a little bit of mix and match), just now its a guessing game as to who is going to end up with the ball when you pass, either because the players are randomly spread across the pitch (forwards and backs), or because the game just decides to pass to a random player instead of the closest.
I find it difficult to identify and pass to the players i want to, particularly the number 15, as I generally have no idea where they are. The default positon for the 15 just now seems to be directly behind the 10 at set piece times or rucks, i want him out wide making the overlap, as generally the 15 is one of the quickest and most offensive players on the pitch!
Hitting R1 or L1 should just pass one to the right or one to the left. In just had a midfield ruck with an obvious 3 on 2 on the left, but when I hit L1 it missed the first player completely, and then hitting L1 again to pass to the winger missed them completely and it went into touch. Passing in general is rubbish, the amount of balls that get flung into touch instead of going to the player on the wing is ridiculous!
Depth and width just now are lacking.
There needs to be an icon or something to show when the scrum half (or whichever player is there) is ready to pass from the back of the ruck, as a lot of time its not obvious and the player ends up picking and going when i donāt want to.
I got stuck in a bit of an endless loop of scrum penalties as despite hitting the button for pass or number 8 pickup numerous times nothing was happening.
Repeatedly being caught offside when my team has the ball.
Stealing the ball at the ruck is so cumbersome. There needs to be a dedicted jackling animation in the initial stages of the ruck where one player can latch on, pick it up and play it.
Just now all Iāve seen is just 3 players pushing over and one player then picking it up and almost instantly being tackled (look at RC4 or R22 and how those games dealt with turnovers). If the players win/turn over the ruck it should be controlled at the back, still in the ruck to allow the 9 to step in and pass without being tackled straight away.
AI players with injuries not being subbed off.
Why canāt a forward drive off a maul, the only option is for a pass or run from the scrum half.
Maybe its just me, but i canāt get any height on up and unders, even in the tutorial.
Couldnāt sub off an injured player. Could sub any other player, but i couldnāt even select the injured player to swap them with a sub (I hadnāt used any subs at that point)

Why does it magically fix the mechanics and code
