Then you aren’t doing kicks where you are initiating the system.

Hahaha, I’m sure you having to play Side View will feel like getting some balls punted!

Well THAT will be an impactful update if it all pans out. I, like @Saulman55 will be back expecting radical and unrealistic things in 3 weeks!

@JNT_BA maybe your thinking of August because you go away on holiday perhaps? Couldn’t be anything to do with Rugby 25 could it?
Is the update live on Xbox yet ?
Yeah, after playing RL26 I have no desire to go back to R25 yet ha ha. Hopefully one day.
I actually prefer the LOOK of side view. I would play it if you could see what you wanted to do tactically and there were not so many blind spots regarding space you wanted to kick into. I love the RL26 broadcast view, is literally a good mix of both and to me looks the most natural too.
A man can dream (This is broadcast far obvs lol)
Edit: I do not know why my screenshot looks PS1 pixel RL26 ha ha.

@JNT_BA can we please get a hotfix for rucks seems like i can never win the ball if im a slightly weaker team… also please confirm stealing fhe ball is it press and hold x or spam press.x???
If there a better chance of sometimes getting a turnover that would be great
Something i though might be nice (not necessarily gameplay wise) but playing a competition like say the world cup or 6 nations, to choose your team in the beginning and be able to pick a squad like you would in career mode. This is something i belive rugby 08 had and it just makes the competitions more fun to play aswell
Thats not what a hot fix does. That’s a rewrite. If things could just be hot fixed and made to work I would have done it by now.
I spam cause thats the type of gamer I am.

@JNT_BA this “3 week update” is basically telling us 1 Patch a month now that I realise it👀
Perhaps patch things that’s directly linked to gameplay first, all the other things can be added again, we really just want a smoother Union gameplay, like you mentioned the “LINES” should’ve probably been first on the list, then Rucks and Scrums/lineouts, kicking/goal kicking, rules of the game actually being implemented.
Also allowing for a bigger squad for International or other teams, is kinda useless if you can’t add or remove players from official teams, how do I add the likes of Damian Willemse(licensed on the game) to the Springboks??
@Valhalla_Vagabond rather show us pictures of our Patched up Referees
Ok can we get a re write then lol. Please witha cherry ontop. So that we dont always have to be the stronger team to get ball

Thats cause you assume we haven’t been working on them already. You think we just started today on them?
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.
Please do we all beg of you. Ill promise not to bother you untill next patch then lol
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.

Other things I notice in side view, the shoulder charge is way more successful than in end on. Even though the LB and RB defender selection buttons are backward to me, the A to select the closest defender works MUCH better than in end on view in regard to selecting the closest tackler.
So what I read into this is that it will be 4 weeks long. Game fixed with one big patch that fixes everything in 4 weeks confirmed. Happy days
