I feel bad for AFL 26 fans… They didn’t have Improved Stability today. They are probably thinking that BA hates AFL

The previous time they tinkered with general play kicking, things were pretty much good. People were nearly all happy from what I read and also what I saw from Mad Dragon’s video at the time.
All they needed was to have the better statted players able to kick about 5m more.
No one was asking Big Ant to tinker with the actual kicking system and make it harder!
Where the heck did they get the idea to do that from?

When lifelike gameplay, strategic depth, and heart-stopping action ?
When Scoot ? Did Kelvin invent especially this word for Union ?

@JNT_BA Please tell us if the general play kicking (A/X) issue which is pretty serious has qualified for a hotfix?
If so can you add about 5m of distance to the typical kicking range while you guys are doing it? (Might as well ask in case it is being worked on).

Yes add me to those asking for hotfix and increased kicking distance. Or give me sliders and I will do it myself . …

Hey team,
Seriously what is going with this game. Is the bloke who tests these patches before they are released getting paid off by a rival developer to ruin this game and get rid of the player base or something?
Played it for two minutes and can already see the new issues straight away.
-Turnovers happening at every single ruck, destroying any chance of either team getting any attacking momentum.
-New revamped kicking system. Get a descent kick away 2 times out of 10. Why was this changed? Out of all the issues with the gameplay, the old system should have been tweaked as in been given greater distance for kicks not be fully revamped.
Just focus on getting the basics right.
E.g
-AI decision making on attack, get them drawing and passing not just mindless passing.
-Depth to attacking gameplay, support runners running proper lines and angles and being more flat rather than too deep. (Blockers and sliders). 1-3-3-1 tactics etc that actually work.
-Correct player positioning
-Set plays
-Cross kicks, bigger distance with drop goals
-Better player movement, passing etc
-Improve the side step, too clunky and never works
-Opportunities to actually jackal the ball at ruck time
-Better responsiveness to adding and removing players from rucks.
-Correct calls from the ref true to rugby rules
This stuff is basic. How has it been this long and none of this stuff has been addressed? It’s obvious what needs to be fixed with this game, everyone posts the same stuff every day. But the only thing consistent with the patches is “improved stability” and bugs which make the game unplayable, then the next patch fixes the damage the last patch created.
You are ruining your company’s reputation. It’s pretty embarrassing to be honest. Stop wasting peoples time and money, and get this game to a good standard to what it was advertised to be.
If you aren’t going to address this stuff, just say it and stop wasting everyone’s time. Otherwise release a roadmap and save yourself and everyone else the hassle
I’m also a massive fan of rugby league and the nrl, and you are setting up that game to fail before it has even been released purely due to the treatment and lack of care for this game and how it has been handled pre and post release. Being released completely unfinished with over 20 patches which have been pretty much adjusting sliders with no major improvements to gameplay, when feedback is being posted in here every single day, but you choose to ignore it and show disrespect to your customers. Walking around with your head in the clouds thinking if you adjust a couple of sliders each week and claim they are a “patch”, it will keep your player base happy.
Who on earth would move two patches a week to one patch a week with the current state the game is in?
If you think people are going to support you with the rugby league game after their experience with this game, you are dreaming. Look after your customers and they’ll look after you.

What are the chances of getting a ball creator? Currently there are only like 4 balls in the game, would be nice if we could create custom rugby balls with logos, brands, colours, patterns and etc.
No chance I’m wasting my time making and running an online league based on this train wreck what type of person would even want to take part in it with the game in the state it is?

What i dont get is, why Patch/fix stuff thats not even a real concern for us as gamers, we have put multiple things on here thats we know will actually make the game better.
Why dont you just patch One Major thing/concern per week that we list. It gives you time to just test that One single thing, and so the game can progress weekly, but you Patching something like a “tackling a player that box kicks”
Are you joking man!? Like what are you guys actually doing. Literally wasting our time and your own. Patching things that isnt even first priority in making the game better, and then in the meanwhile it breaks something else. Such a waste!

Played 5 games on Xbox and 3 on steam…. So I have sunk my money on pre-orders into this crap fest as i wanted to support the developer…..
This game is absolutely crap.
Every time they just beat your first man with hand off…. WHEN HAS THAT HAPPENED IN THE HISTORY OF UNION?
They need real focus! Seriously….. team just watch a game of RUGBY UNION!!! This is a terrible and inept almost shovelware version of a rugby league game that has been reskinned.
For example one of the diving try animations is almost a beat for beat clone of RLL3…… so the issues with passing and kicking etc make zero to no sense!
Your game looks amazing but has the gameplay depth and fun of a muddy puddle.
As you guys seemingly ignore the advice and how to fix the gameplay to make it realistic and enjoyable from the players. Have you thought about hiring a coach or high level ex player to come in and act as a rugby consultant?
You are killing the fan base and future customers who wanted to buy into you. The YouTube creators clearly don’t want to be negative, but alas you seem to force them into being so by just failing to deliver
Not us with posts who have every right to complain and tell you how we feel on here when we have spent our hard earned money to be your QA team on a game that was never in a million years ready for a full release!

I don’t think the engine allows as much change as we want. The game’s already on sale and 20 odd patches in (post EA) and we don’t really have any better of a game than we did during EA.
They’ll milking it for as much as they can, then will probably abandon ship.
