I’m debating whether to buy RL26, I love my rugby but the absolute chaos on social media is really putting me off buying it lol.

Please calm down with the copy paste. I see it, I don’t always get time to respond cause I’m busy trying to get the game on a better course. Some of the things in your posts have already been updated. Just relax a little please.

Thanks I appreciate it I will stop posting now until the next update Comes sorry
The most important things from that message were the 30 man national squads being fixed to 38

Once again thanks
And sorry for asking the same things over and over
:waving_hand:

I read my horoscope earlier this week: “Your week ahead will contain love, peace, and…Stability Improvements”.

I think we will be okay

Man, if tomorrow we have JNT as main ref and Kelvin as linesman, with a flag with an “A” written in it, I reckon that would make me laugh.

When succulent stability ?

Kinda agree with you, it seems that Nacon are doing the same for cycling with Tour de France

Damn, Coach Career Mode looks deeper in RL26 than in R25 (licensed excluded). We are doomed

Rumour is that tomorrow’s release will see rucks totally fixed*.

*I have started this rumour and it is totally not happening.

Reckon there will be more stability improvements though.

I think with @JNT_BA at the helm now we can have some good things to look forward to, just listen to what he says for example he’s testing the hell out of it before release, he’s actually listening to us when we say what we think the game needs improving on, I hope he’s changed the testing team as the old ones must have tested for a out 1 minute and released it but I think he’s also testing himself to make sure it’s good before release, I really like the fact that he’s willing to add features we request as well that to me is a huge thing.

Thanks for letting me know what you think about RL26 as well bud, appreciate it, I think I’m gonna take the risk but I just don’t get why BA release games with so many issues but I’m a glass half full kind of guy so I’ll hope they have someone like @JNT_BA running things so it gets fixed properly.

So many things that can be implemented to Rugby25 from RL26, but also ones that can be eliminated. The tackles thats above the sternum should be penalised.

Punting trajectory can be the same as RL26, thats proper distance. Running lines, tackle slides, when a defender tackles a player when going to score tries.

Still need a proper kicking game from AI in rugby union though. This game is not a all running show like league. This is basically what happens currently in the Rugby25 game. You tackle the AI backwards 3-5 tackles, and then they box kick, like the Kicking for league. We will see what the patch holds for us.

Ok so first thing: I’m pants at RL26, but that is not a surprise haha.

Damn, there are some cool things here, if some could be implemented in R25…

But man, League seems much easier to code than union.

Yeah I win the easiest mode by far, but already struggling with the second one haha.
That’s a change from Hardest mode in R25 (but that’s probably because I’m pants)!

I kinda like the tackle mechanic and the tackle evasion with the right stick!

Everything looks smoother ! And as I never played RLL4, well, I don’t care that there is not much improvements haha

That kinda gives me hope back for R25.

I wonder if Norwegian is happy haha

No I totally understand bud, I think may leave it a week or so and watch videos on YouTube to see if anything improves before buying RL26, If I do buy then @JNT_BA I think @Valhalla_Vagabond should get commission on the same :rofl:

@JNT_BA one to slide across the desk to your RL equal at BA HQ. Rugby 25 smashing those ratings compared to Rugby League :joy:
Didnt see that one coming a couple of weeks back.

League fans are grumpier than R25 fans whereas RL26 is much more close to be finished.

I guess this is because they don’t see many new things ?

Maybe R25 will bounce back today after that JNT pressed the red button :stuck_out_tongue:

Its because rll4 was a good game with many issues. And the rl community expected ba to build on what they had. Unfortunately they got a copy and paste with some new visuals. All the same issues are in rl26.

I played alot of rll4. Was a good game, and to be fair, they could have fixed the issues and relased that with their new visuals and it would be an amazing game. So i cannunderstand the disappointment
