@Valhalla_Vagabond yeah fair about the grass. Maybe to me it just doesn’t look great in R25 so seeing the difference in RL26 made me think it looked more realistic. Possibly need a middle ground. Rest of the lighting definitely needs improving to help boost the atmosphere.
I’ve really got my fingers crossed on the conversion kicking as well. Can’t stand the current mechanics in R25
@Valhalla_Vagabond not sure if you’ve seen any of the videos of conversion kicking in RL26 now it’s been released. It’s so much better than R25. You can adjust the arc of the kick and the mechanics is so much better with no duff kicks and direction input actually making a difference. @JNT_BA please can we get this for R25.
But that needs to be fixed high tackle should pretty much be carded right away especially the wwe move one
@Phoenix1991 excited not sure, pessimistic definitely. I really want to see meaningful updates and JNTs roadmap has filled me with hope but having seen the state that Rugby League 26 has come out really makes me sad about the state of Rugby 25. The polish on RL26 is miles ahead of R25. Animations are so much smoother, you can link moves like multiple sidesteps and break tackles together, attacking and defensive lines look decent and work well and rules such as knock ons are and high tackles are frequent and affect the game. I just wish wed get some of this in R25 cause otherwise the game will become dull very quickly
Yeah played a few games of RL26 what a game, it’s a miles ahead of R25 question now is will R25 ever be on par with RL
Don’t make the same mistake I did going from playing to playing r25 feels like going from next gen game to a game 8 years back, even the cut scenes are way more exciting. Hopefully our boy JNT can save this game
I saw gameplay of RL 26. There more effort in that game as in rugby 25. We us rugby union fans are waiting 18 years just for a good game
Completely agree with everyone here. While there are some bugs and small issues with Rugby League 26, it’s still miles better on release than Rugby '25 is nearly half a year on from release.
I’m even down to little tiny things that I’m appreciating, like a decent punt downfield and the ability to actually push the try score button right on the try line and have it actually work and not need three presses before I run dead! That’s just two minor areas of functionality out of dozens where Rugby League generally… works.
How sad is it that I’m switching over to League for now, not for better features or something special it has in it’s modes, but basic functionality and basic representation of the real life game it’s supposed to be???
Pressure is on for BA now because we know the clunky and on rails feeling r25 have is not a engine problem, as rl26 feels really good yes it has its issues but seems a few patches away being good. I really hope JNT can give us something on par as rl26 and it will be nice to have similar UI aswell it just seems very clean
I am still perplexed by the fact that World Rugby does not endorse any rugby video games, as FIFA does. FIFA recognises the significance of the electronic format of the game and is committed to its expansion, particularly among younger audiences. Rugby 2008 was a significant event on college campuses in the United States from 2008 to 2015, and it introduced the sport to a country that had previously had minimal exposure to it. ESports has the potential to attract new audiences to the sport of rugby, given that the Rugby World Cup is being hosted by the United States in 2031. Just goes to demonstrate that the individuals in charge of World Rugby are not forward-thinking, which is why Rugby does not receive the appropriate level of exposure. Agustine Pichot has been a fervent proponent of the rugby game’s integration of esports and the enhancement of its video game offerings, contending that it is essential to expand the game and attract younger audiences. I concur with his assertion that World Rugby should establish a department that is dedicated to digital engagement. Therefore, I am optimistic that World Rugby will awaken and that Agustine Pichot will be the ideal candidate to advance this matter.
I wait to see the R25 patch of this friday before buying RL26 lol.
But it seems I will most likely give it a go to RL26.
We are doomed.
@JNT_BA please save us
Rugby rl 26 has be a pro mode but rugby 25 not. Rugby 25 gets boring very fast
Feels to me the game is stil in EA
The changes of direction when players run look much better in rl26, as well as the fend, you really need to adapt this to rugby 25, in rugby 25, when you are 1 on 1 you cannot dodge your opponent. You can only hit him or play with your feet whereas in rl26 you can outrun him by running
Just realize in RL26 time off day changes when playing in the evening by end of the game it’s night time, R25 seems more and more was just there to iron some bugs and test the engine for r26
Seeing how well ‘Rugby League 26’ turned out, I hope tomorrow’s update is the beginning of making ‘Rugby 25’ into what it truly should be. I feel ripped off when I compare one game to the other Rugby 25 should never have been released at full price. I still have hope they’ll fix the game.
We are all assuming they worked on tomorrow’s patch for 3 weeks. Expect to be disappointed. Hope I’m wrong.
I soooo want to be positive about Rugby 25 but the reality is we still don’t have a working rugby game after 20+ updates and months of EA. Not even close.
Just watching RL26 videos (looks good) makes my blood boil on how they have cut corners with Rugby 25.
It’s getting worst player jerseys gets dirty as the game goes on JNT just copy RL fully into the game and go from there
Mate, don’t have high expectations regarding tomorrow: they were most likely working hard on RL26 these past weeks
Guys, Ross said that if we are not up to Early Access, we should wait for official release, as everything comes up towards the end.
Ooops 
#JNTisourlastchance
Wasn’t the update meant to be yestwrday or is it friday, im a bit confused…
Can the defensive line please be fixed. The players don’t run up to make the tackle half the time they just stand and wait for the player who has the ball to get near them. There are still WAY too many missed tackles. I had 40 missed tackles one game and that was a 5 minute game
Also will there be a pro team and has the player pro career been fully ruled out. Big ant can you please resopnd
