Looks like we getting small patch today to fix frame rate issue 
Hopefully punting will be fix too with this update. Itâs a game breaker for me.

With the kicking in open play can we get something like scuffed kicks that lack accuracy and have a chance of going straight into touch if we hold X for too long and over power it. Being punished with a kick that goes half the distance cause I held it too long doesnât make sense.
Yesterday I tried to kick by holding x for a very short press. Resulted in a kick that went 5m and was caught by my own player in front of me. Offside penalty to the opposition 5m from my try line.

Hi Team,
Seems there is a momentum swing in this game ? Itâs what I am thinking. I just beat the Blues 54-7 on Hardest Difficulty with Western Force. It just felt the momentum was really going our way. I might be wrong but hopefully there is something like this in the game ? Very enjoyable match.
Did they say when?? Or is it out already
When are we getting the fixes done for line depth etc etc. The options are useless.
Like you said last week , there is some lekke URC games this weekend , lets watch and sit back looking at a real RUGBY UNION GAME !!! Everything that just works , small patch today maybe to fix the issue and break something else , if this game was a person , it would have been covered in PATCHES , MUMMY STYLE !!!

I tried this, was just as random as flicking it for me. The mechanic is just erratic imo.
Unless they have changed it after the 9th May update?
Iâm on PS5 and, curiously, not experiencing any lag/frame rate issues. On PS4, however, the game is unplayable for those same reasons (last week, it was running like a dream).

New update on steam !
Well Iâve never had it happen since I used the method I said 
May 29 update xbox-s review
Rucks turnovers seem to happen at correct times most of the times,
Isolated passive ruck jackals are still missing from the game. (please add this)
AI should be penalized for holding on at times when isolated in the ruck.
Y should work as trying to do a ruck push over while x for steals/Jackals, each with its own risk vs reward. Have one more functional button at the ruck. Y to increase the push, and then you can watch the meter for the x steal or final push.
Scrums are still not fun, need better rewards for playing them to perfection, either more grounds gained or the opponent penalized in the scrum.
Mauls are to simple, the AI is worthless at them, I can push them back by just adding one player to the maul. Needs a mini game.
Punts which were working well, have been ruined, (donât understand this? no one complained about the punts (why change them). The new system is not bad, could add a challenge, but the distance even when perfect is dreadful. No point in punting the ball away. There must be more distance for players with a good foot.
Sidesteps need to be improved or no point in doing them.
There must be a quicker release on kicks when done by players with good kicking stats. Most of the time you get tackled, you have to anticipate way too much time in advance, renders in field kicking worthless.
Pros
The AI starting to get better and better, have to focus to win now
At times very fluid run and pass rugby, offloads are good but could be toned down some when tackled up high.
The dummies are fixed, can dummy in both directions, not sure how useful they are yet.
The fend still a little to powerful, the first fend. You should be able to fend more then once though.
The shoulder barge is working fairly well.
It seems the pick and go is working a little better, more chance of picking up with forwards now, instead of no 9 every time.
Thanks for the update, the game has become more challenging, and it seems all the tools are there to make a good rugby game, just have to bring at all together better.

The conversions keep on glitching and going 5 meters of the tee ? Is this happening to anyone else
And when Iâm am in Career playing as Ireland it doesnât let me pick certain players like Joey Carbery.
Okay dare i say prob just had the best game iv played so far.
Ireland v australia hardest ps5.
Frame rate sorted.
Few ruck turnovers, few intercepts, high tackles, offsides and subs from both sides.
Good attacking both sides but also realistic defending.
Obviously there were glitchy issues few wayward passes and no scrums etc and also in play kicking a mess.
But its the first game i enjoyed and felt like its on track and playable.
By no means acceptblable but i feel its the first positive step and a nice surprise after yesterdays dissapointment.
The real test will be after a few games if it keeps my interest as i find other aspects of the game boring and in need of work too customisation, career and tournament customisation also.

Is the creative team on extended leave? I havenât seen anything creative in the patch notes for a while now.
When last was a teamâs real names added, the atmosphere in the stadium and crowd noise and reactions, advertisements in the stadiums whatâs going on with the womenâs teams and tournaments?
When is the commentary going to be fixed?

Feedback from a couple of games today following the latest patch: Best games Iâve played on R25 so far. Played 2 womenâs games Eng 14-34 USA, Eng 14-0 France. My first loss whilst playing with intent to win.
The key difference to the AI being able to score now is them retaining possession, breaking tackles, and offloading. I even saw the AI play off 10 doing more than one pass a couple of times which meant they attacked gaps. You need to consider contesting rucks and having enough players in the defensive line now when defending.
The key difference in attack to me seems the AI defensive shape. Theyâre much better at preventing half line breaks, and itâs not to easy to run around them with a fast player.
The crucial improvements I think are needed is the AI kicking more in order to gain field position. Currently, I think the lack of kicking is down to not having enough time on the ball as the AI struggles to even kick the ball off at full time.
There seems to be many more offside penalties now, some of which are correct and some from players intercepting offloads. I would like to see ruck penalties next from over use of the steal button when defending, with the opposition penalised for failed steals too.
One small glitch seems to be on the Wales womenâs logo having a red background.
Would love to be able to add real players to custom teams.

I would also like to highlight this.
No updates on players appearance at all. Not only photogrammetry, but no likenesses have been looked at.
Even pro evolution soccer 3, that was released more than 20 years ago, could match skin color and hair/facial hair to the real counterparts. And those who werenât as accurate could be edited.
Obviously the most important thing to tackle now is gameplay and everything else is secondary, but since we were told that different tasks were done by different teams, hence the question.

Iâm not expecting many updates to players, kits etc till the new European season starts later this year. Teams are currently confirming their player signings/departures and new kits will be revealed soon. BA communication on updates in the past seems to be that teams have to approve every player likeness and kits so I wonder if they are just holding off till the new season
Wonder if Group stages and knockout will be included in custom Competition at some point?
