Here is last game stats played on hard 10 min halves I played as Benneton. As you see from amount of rucks and kicking that the style of play is sim play, of course a video game will always have a highlight reel of a sim game. This is on end on view.

Agreed. The missed tackles in this game is crazy!!!
I have players such as Ardie, Du Toit, Marx, all massive players missing 1st time tackles. Once or twice is okay, but every time the Ai have the ball, they get through the 1st tackle with ease.

Star players also indeed need some improving, I notice nothing different between a star player and a general player. At least make them able to fend a couple of players, or make them stronger etc.

But let’s see what happens in the upcoming updates, I’m excited to what Big Ant comes up with, and see if they actually going to listen to the community.

No more weekly updates unless the BA team need to push out a hotfix - they’re every 3 weeks now. Next major update is July 16th.

Although I feel as if many of the missed tackles are my fault on those Benneton stats of missed tackle probably 5-8 is me not timing the tackle correct, I know over time will line up the tackles better with more games played. So, the missed tackles should go down. But yes, I think the first tackle break is a little overpowering, could be more varied, but then again if you don’t get past the first tackle break, no chance at having another tackle break :slightly_smiling_face: So hard to tell. Maybe less initial tackle breaks but more multi tackle breaks with players with good stats for this.

Hi PLEASE TAKE TIME TO READ THIS MESSAGE THIS IS ALL THE SMALL ISSUES THAT NEED TO BE FIXED. And let me know what you guys think about this

The Kicking just doesn’t work for me off the tee every time the ball just goes 5 meters I know I might be doing it wrong but it is just to hard in rugby 22 it was easier because we had a line and a pull back button.

There are also a few tiny issues aswell such as player positions ECT here are a few that need to be fixed

HUGO KEENAN it say Left wing but it should be full back. I understand he can play left wing but it doesn’t say anywhere that he plays full back and that can effect simulation in games I think.

SHANE DALY Says outside centre but it should be full back and winger

THAAKIR ABRAHAMS has no option to play fullback

ANTIONE JELONCH IS SAYS OPENSIDE FLANKER BUT IT SHOULD SAY NUMBER 8

And Alex nankivell is only 75 rated when he is one of Munsters best players

And some players kicking foot need to be changed from right foot to left foot
Such AS

CRAIG CASEY
ELLIOT DALY
HENRY SLADE
JAMES O’CONNER
JAMES LOWE

And many more I might edit this post later and add more left footed kickers or I’ll repost this post again with more left footed kickers

AND WHEN IM COACHING A NATIONAL TEAM IN CAREER MODE I CAN ONLY CHOOSE 30 PLAYERS WHEN MOST NATIONAL SQUADS HAVE 35-40 SQUAD SIZE. I understand smaller nations in the games only have 30 players but still 30 players is not enough for Ireland or France New Zealand sprigboks ect

Munster rugby usually finish 1st to 6th in the table so created 10 career modes over the past few day and they have finished 11th to 16th every time so I was hoping you could upgrade their team rating and Benetton are winning URC’s every year even though in real life the always finish 6th to 14th in the table

And when I am coaching a national team I keep on getting drawn to Small nations that are like 70 in the world when I’m coaching Ireland and other Top nations

And When I’m coaching a club In career mode during the Champions cup all the group stage games are in the Stade de France for some reason and not where the home team plays. The only teams that get home games are the French teams in the champions cup. This is only for season 1 though

For the MAUL The hooker is rarely at the back of the maul when the line out is taken but in real life the hooker is always at the back of the Maul

If you read to here Thank you for reading by concerns I hope that this can be fixed for the next update or sooner.

THANKS :waving_hand:

Hey Guys,

Was wondering if we have had anymore news on Pro Team?
I am looking forward to having a new game mode.

Just wanted to try and give you some advice for the goal kicking. I realize some players have different styles, but this method seems to work every time for me, I cant remember the last time I missed a kick at goal.

When placing the ball, try and give yourself a better angle, pull the tee a little backwards before placing, not necessarily all the way back, but you will see what I mean by a comfortable angle.

Once you have gotten passed the cutscene of the kicker placing the ball, you need to set the direction and angle of your kick, this is easy enough, but I find that most of the time, you need to sort of aim more to the left side of the posts because the ball seems to curve from the right side way more than it probably should.

Once you’re ready to take the kick, you need to pull back on the right analog stick (Playstation) to build the power of your kick, the closer you can get to full power the better but don’t hold it back too long because this will mess up your kick.

Once you’re happy with the power, push the analog stick up in one smooth motion, don’t pull the stick down for power and then leave it before pushing up, it has to be one smooth motion. Hold the stick up until the kicker has kicked the ball and you should be successful every time.

Hope this helps

Please give us a World Cup Competition, you don’t have to name it World Cup if their is some rights issues, just name it Cup of Nations or something like that. Of late, I must admit that I really enjoy the game now!!! Played the first test as NZ vs France, and it was a close affair, 35-28, nz win.

No I highly doubt that crowd noise has anything to do with it, it’s just a comment triggered by a missed kick. What console are you? Perhaps there could be a bug for different consoles and PC? I may be way off, but this method works every single time for me, might be a crazy idea, but maybe camera angle is also an issue? I play end-on, and I’m probably wrong, but if you do everything exactly like that, there shouldn’t be an issue.

There’s no way your analog might be faulty?

I know camera views are a popular topic of discussion but I’d love for there to be a third camera angle. I think it’s been mentioned before but I think adding a broadcast camera angle would be a great addition. It would particularly make Ai Vs Ai feel like watching a game on TV and if it worked well enough I’d like to use it while playing as well.

The old EA sports game made great use of this type of angle and I think more players used that than end on in that game.

Hi Team,

Feedback and video example of getting a “Momentum Shift” making it too easy to score Trys. PS5 Hardest Difficulty. Coach Career

I score 3 Trys in 5 Mins as Dragons rated 77 to Ai Leinster 88.

The momentum shift came through after I scored one Try in 2nd half. It then got really easy to score and Ai defence just “Dumbs” down and does not react or focus well in defence.

I am all for getting some momentum in a match but this makes it too easy. Please look into adjusting this in some way or balanced better. As I mentioned earlier this week , a visible momentum bar would be good on the screen for User and Ai teams and also a slider to enable or disable it perhaps.

Video edited below to show the 3 Trys that went from 49th min to 55 th min.

I will also mention Ai made no replacements for the whole match.

Thanks Team

Just an update again on powerful momentum given to user team from another match on hardest difficulty. . Playing as NSW Waratahs (79 Overall) struggled to gain territory in 1st half. Finally scored in 34th min. That’s great..But then in less than 3 mins scored again with Ai controlled The British and Irish Lions (Rated 88 Overall) defence falling over and letting me get up the field in a few phases. To me this is unrealistic and takes the challenge out of the match. Thanks

It helps I works every time now.Thanks

Also
When you play in the World Cup final before the match there are national anthems played for each team this is a very cool pre match cut scene I was hoping this could be added to the six nations and other international tournaments

And I don’t know what the hell that tournament is supposed to be with
Springboks
All blacks
Wallabies
Argentina
USA
TONGA
FIJI
SAMOA

All the teams above USA are in a tournament called the rugby championship/Four Nations and USA and the teams under them are in there own tournament

And I was wondering if you could make the crowd a bit louder during games there is no atmosphere what so ever.

When you do a six nations tournament with Ireland they never win it and wales and Italy are rated to high and they are beating France and Ireland that is unrealistic.

And all the champions cup group games are on in the Stade de France for some reason

And top Rugby players like Finn Russell , Du toit cheslin kolbe juliun Montoya etc are moving to low rated clubs after the first season I was hoping you could add some realism to player transfers and get the players contracts correct because You can’t sign Players who are leaving their clubs this year because for some reason they are contracted at their clubs until 2028

Let me know what u guys think

Guys, quick fix please. All of a sudden the AI kick the ball out at a 90 degree angle every time, which means that instead of clearing their lines in defence, they now give the opposition team a 5 meter lineout and cannot get out. Cant be like this, need an urgent fix

Having a REFEREE CAREER MODE where you ref the game and you chose a league where you ref and you get promoted to national games would be the best thing ever in any sport game. This would be a great idea because there are a lot of laws and it could also improve your own knowledge of the game when you are playing in real life & Also adding a referee player creator would be good because there is only 1 ref. @JNT_BA Let me know what you think of this and if it possible to create a referee career mode

SO I think this is a great idea

WHAT YOU YOU GUYS THINK LET ME KNOW

Anyone else finding the gameplay now just so repetitive and not fun at all to play?
