A whole bunch of new plays are in on a more positive note. Need to look more at them myself.

Dose that mean team and Roster update :winking_face_with_tongue:

Wait what!!! Are you saying set plays? :slight_smile:

Haha I try to avoid that specific term. I’ll write something up tomorrow to give a little insight on how ā€œplaysā€ work for the AI.

Nice!! Any improvement is appreciated.

Something else most of us have been asking for:

Can support runners especially wings not be so far behind player with ball please

Hi @JNT_BA is there anything you can share/show on the new ruck system. Appreciate you are still working on it but would be great to understand if this is a complete overhaul or changes to the current system to make it play out better?

@JNT_BA next one might be light on features!
I don’t think so.
I could be wrong but I’m sure you said that the following will be in:

  1. Broadcast cam
  2. New ruck system
  3. AI Plays - not set plays :slight_smile:

Then maybe some improvements with power adjustments to kicking, support runners and some bug fixes this could be a great patch.

@Plaasvark I read JNTs comment above as rucks not being included for this one. Really hoping I’m wrong as that’s the element that I think is priority. Nail that and then build the game up from there

Thats a hard one to answer. In terms of a visual change they will look the same. Like its not like an animation thing. It’s more a functionality thing. So its yes but also no.

That is correct. Will not be in this one.

I agree, rucks need to be one of the main top priorities, its a crucial part of union which is not working in the game.

Honestly all the patches since ā€œfull releaseā€ has been lite in features.

Ah my bad read it wrong.

Well given it’s such an important part of rugby union I would rather let them take their time and get it right :slight_smile:

Who knows myabe it can go in with woman’s World Cup and we don’t have to wait another 3 weeks. That’s if the woman’s World Cup issues has been resolved by then.

I agree with you but sadly this will not happen. @JNT_BA is pretty firm it’s not going to happen and we have asked this for a few months now. It’s like beating a dead horse.

We all hoped that 3 week patches will produce massive improvements but that is not the case either.

Still I am optimistic though. Fixing (redesigning) the rucks , AI plays are big part of rugby and to get that right first do take time I guess

@JNT_BA Fair enough. To revise my question and be very specific can you share anything on this functionality change?

Im just going to delete any comment from now one asking for weekly patches. It literally makes no sense. ā€œThree weeks are liteā€ so you want 1/3 every week?

I don’t care of weekly patch, but is it possible to have a patch every 7 days ? :stuck_out_tongue:

Yeah. I’ll put out and empty patch every week with an added… hmmm. I’ll change some random values on the conversion kicking zones.

Can you change the random values for punting please. Maybe then a player might be able to kick 60m . Sorry had to :slight_smile:

Anyway guys JNT does what he can. If he could he would release more often.
We wait since 2 years, one week or three weeks is now basically the same tbh at this rate. Go outside, play chess and play real rugby. That said, quand patch?
