Hi @JNT_BA …. Been playing now since the latest update and hotfix and to be honest the game feels much better and enjoyable to play thank you …. But all I want to ask is can you maybe look at some set plays and support lines to be better players still feels to far behind when Im running a perfect line … and also we need some more atmosphere the fans is way to boring we need them louder when scoring tries and doing a 50/22 or going threw a gap it will just make the game more exciting you know … and some dirt and so on the kits will be epic too so Please @JNT_BA take a look at that … Thanks to you and your team

So this is actually something I had a chat with the Audio guys about a while ago. The Crowd is actually at 100% at a try, but it also feels the same as general gameplay. Now that’s not saying it’s what it should be, but it means it’s just hitting the peak of audio. So what I’ve asked them to look at is re-balancing so the general play will be quieter and may need your device volume higher, but the peak of the crowd will be what you would expect at a match.

@JNT_BA what you think about this? Is a easier way to tackle the issue…
When are the official kits going to be aloud to be put on custom teams? As when you click on it it’s still empty, Are the kit update anywhere close to being updated? I’m on ps5 version

@JNT_BA can we please get an update on the wrwc. It ended almost a month ago and it’s not in the game yet.

And if we can also have an update regarding RWC23 or any Custom Mens RWC format (RWC23 is I recall in the career but not in the Competition/Custom Competitions), that would be good.
As a reminder, RWC23 ended almost 2 years ago. #FreeRedHotBanters
As there are teams dedicated to gameplay and other dedicated to art/other subject, that might not require that much effort I guess? Maybe if Kelvin spend less time on Cricket ?
If not, I will take it as BA hates union but loves League, Tennis and Cricket.
That said, Quand Tiebreak 2 and Quand Cricket 28?

@JNT_BA can the team also have a look at Career mode, the Objectives does not register. (PC)
I’m tempted to do a red hot banters on this one, but I might have a ban haha 
Do you think we will have some good news in the upcoming days for R25 ? (Gameplay, Content, squad updates, art…?) Or should I play chess ?

Add a player in ruck
-
press and hold (don"t really know if it is better to hold or press it a few times)
(Also there is a bug where if the player selected is not the one in the ruck, the one selected plays the jackal animation… not knowing if that prevents the jackal i always try to select the player in the ruck)
I agree with what you say 100% the rucks are beginning to feel right , we just need more isolated jackle/combined with the AI holding the ball penalty, and allow us to hold on with risk of penalty if we get isolated. Also we are about a year in and no one still knows,:
Should we be tapping x to steal or holding x to steal, or is it based on timing like in wrestling game reversals. Do the rucking graphs/meter help you determine when to make the steal, what triggers the the later counter ruck pushover, sometimes if feels like I have a better chance at if I hold the steal button. These things have never been explained and its been like a year, I know the rucks are not done getting updates, but we should get some basic instructions. In my opinion , it would be great to have two different actions for the quick steal, and the later counter ruck push over, to seperate buttons presses , or tap button for quick steal attempt, hold the button for a counter ruck pushover attempt at the right time on the rucking meter.
And please fix the super slow-mo side step.
I am enjoying the game more and more, but these items above must be addressed to continue to improve this game.

You wouldn’t cruelly taunt us with a hint at a domestic provincial competition possibly coming, only to dash our hopes would you?
That would be “Not Particularly Caring” of you to do so! 
Nice! Will there be a couple of accompanying trophies for that competition mode?
In one match, I was warned for not releasing. Don’t know if I would have been penalised though, as I released immediately!

After recent updates I have found the gameplay far more enjoyable.
the rucks feel better, although, as many people have said could still be refined to allow penalty opportunities for holding on or hands in the ruck - referee guiding players with comms. Isolated players can be stripped of the ball quicker etc, I’m still getting tonics before opposition and smashing the turnover button for a second or two before their support arrives and not getting turnover, but I am winning turnover when they have 2/3 in the ruck - so still not realistic enough, but it has improved a lot.
Kicking feels better - although world renowned kickers like Thomas from France etc should be able to kick way further upfield - comfortablY from their 22 to opposition 22, but the animation and feel of kicking is vast improved.
Struggling with scrums again - I had only just got good at them before the update and not it’s changed and still finding it difficult to win scrums. I’ll need more practise on the updated version of the scrums.
I’d still like to see a bit more shape. Perhaps from a ruck the same button should be filled by players - example - holding L1 or R1 and tapping ‘X’ depending on the side of attack always passes to your 10 or playmaker and tapping ‘square’ or something always passes to the lead of your forward pod. When the ball hits your forward pod you can then do them same - hold L1 or R1 and tap ‘x’ to pass to 10/playmaker out of the back of the forward pod? I think if the 10/playmaker was always the same button combination then it would make it easier. Would be good to see pod of 3 forwards - 10 in behind, a forward or 2 running off 10 and then the remaining backline holding depth to attack. Maybe can add in team tactics like rugby22 to pre set your team to attack off 9/10 with pods - wide or narrow. It feels hard trying to do this in game as you go but could be good to able to set this before the game starts.

God that RWC branding looks good in game. Glad to see it finally make its way in, can only imagine how much of a nightmare it’s been for you guys getting all the necessary sign offs to put it out at last.
Brilliant! I don’t suppose you can tell us when it will arrive?

@JNT_BA any update on when the player names issue will be fixed?
I do believe this is a bug as both teams’ player names show onscreen, until ball possession is turned, then suddenly only the player and not the AI for the remainder of the game has the names.
Surely something this small can be fixed? We’re not talking about displaying the correct names which is also not 100%< but the fact that the names stay up onscreen throughout an actual game..

Yes, this is true. The strange thing is that sometimes I try to hold on when isolated but the opposition forwards steal the ball anyway! This needs to be corrected.
