I had a 7.1GB patch on Steam this morning. No idea if that was the gameplay patch which we were told was coming this week or not
Any patch notes for todays update?
Little bit of improvement on how the ball is passed

Mmmmmm itās better. But the passing is still rubbish.
If I have to hear āreceive the passā one more time. Is that commentary on a loop?
Constructive feedback:
Please make the passing more responsive. Still floaty. Iām lineing up someone from the car park.
Please remove āreceive the passā commentary line or at least let him say it less. 5 times in 30 seconds is killing me.

Looks like whatever bug was causing the mauls from lineouts to be broken has been fixed.
Came on here to see if anyone noticed anything different with the patch in case I was crazy. Donāt notice anything different.
Commentary has some new lines. Overall a little better l.
South Africa defaults starting lineup has changed for the better.
Feedback:
Line outs : can now win lineouts whoooo hooo. However all the time now. Just jump on middle and you win it all the time.
AI: one pass play still there.
So the AI seem to be scoring points now and taking penalties at goal, which is good, but they still only make 1 pass the majority of the time, with the occasional second pass if they have enough time. Where are the offloads and quick passing?
Gameplay seems to be quicker, the AI seem to be eager to get the ball moving, which is good.
AI also regularly has this fantastic line setup, as per the image, but they never use it. They just receive the pass and crash up. Would love to see them make some great passes and dynamic moves
The player in the front of the pod has the ball, and whether Ai or user, he needs to have the ability to easily and quickly pop the ball to either options 1 or 2 running on his shoulder (inside or outside pop), for the crash ball and possible gap, OR a back pass to option 3 which opens up the backline again. This is classic running rugby
A few other things:
- Passes still go behind the receiving players back, breaking momentum. They should pass the ball in front of the receiving player, with a poor pass going behind his back.
- The sponsors boards around a custom stadium are still just black, despite sponsors being selected. It worked perfectly before.
- Even the best goal kicker in the world, Thomas Ramos, who is 100 rated for goal kicking, would miss 1 kick out of 10. Therefore a 100 rated kicker should still miss in game, with 90 rated missing 2/10 and 80 rated missing 3/10.
- Still cannot add more than 8 teams to a custom competition. Surely this is a quick fix.
- AI still do not make any substitutions, whether tactical or injury enforced. Should not be a difficult fix.
- Players still running out the wrong side of the stadium, they should run out beneath the camera
- There are now hardly any knock-ons and very few penalties, mostly just for offsides. There are times when the opposition player is blatantly offside at the ruck, where the scrum half passes the ball into him, stopping any momentum for the attacking team. Clear penalty but the referee does not call it. Most penalties will happen in and around the ruck, so focus on that, with the occasional offside in the backline, scrum penalties and dangerous tackles, which if high, is an immediate yellow card at least.
Many other things, besides the obvious gameplay stuff, but lets get these fixed first, then we can give you a list with hundreds of smaller things.

As well as whatās been mentioned, Iāve noticed that after loose balls (due to the many off-target passes), you canāt seem to switch player from the one who did the inaccurate pass, making it harder to recover the ball.
Not sure if this is just me experiencing it

Also notice that the fly half does drop into the pocket some times. You have to hold pass button and press x. Iāve done a few good kicks like this .
Overall itās better. Not great but better.
Oh and South Africa now best team in game. 90 rated
So just downloaded latest update, about the start a game but have now noticed, that in addition to not being able to move real players to other teams/move them to international teams, you now canāt even add created players! Like what and why? Why has an update given us LESS customisation options? Will this be changing?!

My players just stand around and take forever to join the ruck or sometimes donāt even join the ruck, just stand behind it even though I am pressing B.
-
Passes to the wing still go straight to touch.
-
When I get a breakaway my teammates run with me but as soon as I get tackled they stop running and walk towards the ruck. It makes no sense.
-
On Easy mode the AI turns me over very quickly where I have trouble doing it to the AI.
-
I got called offside in my own ruck when attempting to box kick. It started out as my ruck. No turnover beforehand.
-
Half time subs still donāt work.
-
When I am running and pass the ball, the receiver just stops running and has to start from standing still, killing all the momentum.
-
When I run pass an opponent a lot of the time I get sucked into a tackle animation. It is not very fun to get pulled back.
-
The community search page scrolling crash doesnāt happen anymore, thank you.

Thank you for the player updates.

Gameplay is still the biggest issue and itās frustrating to see things talked about all through Early Access and no real big changes happening.

Not sure if this is a bug, but cpu player got injured with a torn meniscus and was not subbed out. Just kept in and played the whole game with no apparent effect of the injury.

Agree, if the passing worked (and the most glaring bugs were fixed), I think the game could be fun to play a bit while they continue building the rest of the structure. But right now itās very tough to enjoy

I feel like the passing has got better, with good timing can actually get some nice moves created, rucking seems to have taken a step back, I guess coz ppl were complaining about it being too hard, thereās now about 40 turnovers every game, from both me and the AI!
I also donāt know if Iāve gone mad, but conversions and penaltyās seem to be working differently for me, I had the hang of it before, now the kick just trickles off the tee nowhere near!
Can steal line outs, so thatās something, seems a bit like 2 steps forward, 5 back
+1 on kicking, just as I thought I figured them out, itās changed!
I still had bad time with passing, but I didnāt play in EA though, so my perspective may be skewed on whatās āimprovedā
I really want the game to be good, itās unfortunate that it feels close yet so far

Has the issue of created players being added to teams and disappearing after a re start been sorted?
