Hmmm I’ll consider it 
Played 2 games. Disappointing to see many small aspects not addressed as yet. Knock-on still not working as it should, Yellow/Red Cards needed as well. Proper Jackal system/visuals needed for rucks. Sacking the mauls also need a visual update, the maul just standing still looks awkward. Will give more feedback later after playing more games.
I guess most work went into the NEW Addition of Aerial Manoeuvres.
@JNT_BA any chance to add this to the tutorials? I would also like to see a type of contest like the “Aerial Manoeuvres” on Kickoffs.
Dont know if I am just dreaming, but it felt like the sidestep worked better than before, still not as it should though.
What I find helps with Rucks is two things. On PS5.
The first one I’ve just started to try recently.
One is anytime I effect a tackle that doesn’t immediately go to ground (slight player struggle) I spam triangle for contest tackle. This seems to sometimes turn the player your tackling to your teams side. This enables you to win the ball much more easily when the tackle has gone to ground and then you add players to the ruck and use square to attempt a steal.
When I add players I tend to add two then spam square very quickly about 2-3 times, then add one or two more before using square again. It could be a placebo effect, but I find using square very soon around the time your players hit the ruck seems to help.
Try these things and see if they help.
If the contest tackle method was more fully implemented in the manner described above I think it would be a great ball winning mechanism.

Let’s put it plainly. There will not be this grand mega update, that will make everything amazing. Thats not how it works, game dev like most is very complicated. I get three weeks is a “long time” its really not when you have to go through all the steps. Sometimes having to rip apart and rebuild as the things are not compatible then working out all the issues then making it feel good. There’s a road ahead of us and it won’t be three weeks long.
You have no idea how happy I am some of you have stuck around for this long wanting a better game. We’ve memed, we’ve crashed, we took steps backwards together. I’m not going anywhere my team is not going anywhere untill we are done.

Assumption is the only thing, if Communication about it is not given I guess👀 but I apologise for assuming then. Looking forward to the “Lines” update. Assuming no “Tour” competitions patch either, whereas the international Test July test series is on the brink of closing as well
Apologies, here I go assuming again! darn!

Hi @JNT_BA, thanks for the update on what is being done in terms of ‘lines’. I’m not saying right now/today but could we get this in the Future of Rugby 25’ thread with a bit more of an expansion on what you are looking to do with attacking and defensive patterns. Would be great to also get a bit of an update to some of the other stuff originally mentioned. Cheers
Once I have something to show yes. There will be more updates like that.

Are you saying the patch has not improved anything?

Not really, or at least not too noticeable. The only noticeable change is the Aerial Maneuvers.
Might just need to play more to discover any other improvements.

Well, well, well, Now this is what I’m talking about!!!
This is the one thing I’ve asked for months
So my post here
About the support runners, the lines they take and just how deep they stand, this will be looked into? As they are so deep it spoils the flow of the game for me.

@JNT_BA un mode comme pro team sortira-t-il ?
Merci pour vos efforts et votre travail
Still no update on xbox ??
As mentioned by Ross a few days ago on twitter yeah. But when we are in a better state of gameplay. I have when I would like things done and so far we have hit the targets… kind of for most things.
@JNT_BA there is still no update on PS5
What 2 hours where are you getting that information from.
@Rowan console patches take 4-6 hours longer to be available than Steam. In the past the console patch has normally been available from 2pm UK onwards. It really depends on how quickly it goes through the approval process
