I still had clear tries being called held up last night. This was with new update on Steam.
Nope, same as the current version. The original wording had “some” in it. There is still more to do.
Like I said a while ago, “I” can’t do the console versions for Rugby 25. I have no control, and that is often the issue with the time difference in lots of cases. If I don’t say anything after the first time saying it may be delayed, it’s the same; it means I have no update.

All good thanks @JNT_BA …just one thing what does the corrected try calls when tackled in goal mean is that the TMO or held up cause you say same as the current version ?
While it can, it’s not targeted at that. It’s to address some of the ones where it clearly should be a try, and the game would be like “na”, you were tackled, and it thinks the tackler had some “defended” try style of things. Another type of animation that I haven’t seen played in some time.

I see yeah that is frustrating when that happens 
thanks @JNT_BA for the feedback…so some of the tries where is clearly should be a try would be a try now right some of them or not yet really still working on that ?
Basically, while you would think ball on ground in try zone with a player who can score would be simple… It’s really not. We hit as many as we can every patch. Then another pops up in the next testing cycle, then we have to sit there and go “but why?” then work out why those particular plays were considered not a try when you look at it and go… clearly that’s a try. Some can be bad zones in the stadiums. Went over all of those, they’re all I won’t say pixel perfect, but they are “painted line” perfect now. Ok then, is it the animation branching that has an error? Which is not one animation, it’s many different ones playing at once with different outcomes… some of the more technically time-consuming things.

Thanks @JNT_BA I understand more now I was waiting for a feedback like this for more explanation about that so thanks to you and your team for the effort looking forward to the next patch in 3 weeks 
… but atleast you know that the TMO Held up is broken so Im happy
Hi BigAnt
Game is starting to play better now so tracking in the right direction, but still a big hill to climb! Good to see some progress.
For the presentation team, i assume they’ve been busy woth the WRWC which is great, amped for that. Just wondering where we are with regards to the stadiums signoff for advertising etc, and what they actually require? Is it advertising per competition?
A started up RC4 last night and the atmosphere with flags, banners, adverts, support staff etc makes the game feel so much more alive.

Downloading patch here in USA on Xbox 1.3gb.
Agreed, best build so far (on the strength of one game played, anyway.) Place kicking finally feels challenging but not impossible, and I love being able to dot the ball down instead of diving. Keep it up, Big Ant!
Just played my first game on the update and have to agree it’s a step in the right direction. Well done @JNT_BA and team.
Played on hard (normally play on medium) and got well beaten. The AI still breaking tackles a little too much for my liking especially at the start but once the stamina depleted they broke less tackles. The AI has a much better balance now for using the different evasion moves however think the offloads need to be looked at for the next update as they throw these far too easily. I also saw that they could slip out of tackles a lot more frequency than I could
Will do a bigger post once I’ve played more
I just had the TMO award a try!!!

@JNT_BA can we please get a rematch option and also be able to contest for the ball from kickoff? Not saying anything with regard to rucks. The sidestep deff still needa work. But i agree update is good/ solid
Just played new update (PS5).
Expected more after 3 weeks wait.
My wing still 5m behind player with ball.
Scrums still rubbish/broken
Lineouts still boring
AI still break tackles 95% of time.
There is just no fluidity.
It’s better but still not fun to play. It’s back on shelf sadly.

What difficulty you playing on? On hard they feel better balanced to me and the ratio between tackles and missed is better? I’m able to make both bump offs and fends and had the occasional sidestep come off but then I always get tackled by another player immediately
Not played in a long time but decided to give it a go today. Scored a perfectly good try, goes to TMO and it’s given! Was worried for a moment but good to see this in the game. Kicking - no idea what is going on there! My last conversion almost ended out of the stadium around half way. Had a weird thing where my winger ran from his own 22 to score, but was then turned over after diving to score. Defenders were running alongside him. See some improvement in gameplay since my last game but so many bugs and issues makes this unplayable.
As it was explained to me in February via a ticket - to get licensed branding in game, the competition in question and the brands themselves have to sign off on the assets. It’s why Womens Six Nations got the Guinness logos and the Mens Six Nations didn’t.
