You either need to be passive on defense (let AI manage it unless it’s an emergency) or use the left/right selection instead of ‘closest player’ button
This has been a problem for a while now, when adding logos to kits, 90% of the aren’t visible and only shows the names which makes it hard to see which logo is which.
Additionally, will we be getting the feature to add names to the back of kits in custom teams?

@JNT_BA Thanks for you commitment and perseverance with the game, things are certainly getting better and cosmetically it’s stunning!
I reckon if you could implement and enforce more of the following for both ai and player mechanics the game would be GREAT:
Rugby rules, penalties and breaks in play
- More knock ons
- Forward passes
- Kicks to touch and territory gameplay
- More high tackles
- Breakdown penalties, not releasing etc.
- Make lineouts and placement kicking more challenging

For me, the left/right selection doesn’t even work well. It sometimes chooses someone sweeping like 9 who is further back or still the fullback, thus creating gaps. It is super frustrating letting in tried that were covered. Your work-a-round of letting AI do defences works but I want to be able to control it all.

The score and clock should be on screen at all times other than a replay or halftime.

Yes!
I had my first knock on last night after many games - but it was confusing as I was running with the ball and play just stopped and called a knock on (??!!). Everything you say here is key to it feeling like rugby. AI never gets penalised. Would love more forward play but feel when you try keep it tight AI turns over the ball so there is little reward to keep it tight. Kicking also needs work - I feel so rushed to get kicks away and would like a little more accuracy.
Please update super rugby kits and players nationality so they can be picked for international teams like black Highlanders number 12 Timico also update the All blacks and Australia to last year’s teams. They should have training training players in the All blacks squad as well. So I think that’s 42 players all up. I’m probably going to get blocked

One thing I think would ne a nice addition is to have both team’s player names at the bottom stay permanently
As it is, the opposing team’s ui is there for probably the first 20 seconds of a game and then disappears, it would be nice to have it there the full game

Following from the start first time posting like playing rugby 25 at the moment
1.Something i did notice and can be improved is the fending animation on running if defending player comes from left or right it should handoff and stay in motion the attacking player like previous rugby games.
2. also kicking on the run stops the player and cant chase its own kick
3. Different animations on side step would look great and more aggressive tackling animations would make defending much more fun and also a great animation would be a speed boost that does a goose step animation when double tapping sprint button only backline players just an idea.
4.and last just pods and set plays. There is other bigger stuff still needing work but other people are pointing that out this is just stuff i would like to see and i know other people also but great work sofar playing much more.

Just played for the first time in months and still got the held up bug whenever you score whilst being tackled

That happens to me 100% of the time so I’m guessing they’re considering it a feature not a bug 
bloody frustrating and unrealistic

I have sometimes an issue with the lineouts in online mode, the hooker doesn’t throw the ball and the ref gives the ball back to the opponent
I actually posted a YouTube video of this last night for a laugh/chuckle. Referee wasn’t even looking at the ball being grounded he ruled Held Up and had his back turned to the grounding of the ball.
I think I read the issue with AI names is there is not a player selected in defence so you will not see it. Pretty sure on attack you see the names but might be wrong.
One thing I have noticed is when a sub scores a try it displays the wrong jersey number for example if 22 replaced 12, it shows 12 when they score not their bench number.

Im sure next week or so we will get an patch for the “always held up” and the rucks/turnover. Can we get a sceduled date for next patch please @JNT_BA
@JNT_BA any chance we might see some proper attacking shape implemented at some point ? Fed up of players lining up randomly, clustering around the ruck, and generally not resembling a rugby union team.
Some actual proper running lines would be nice too.

I still could not perform a single sidestep using the RS command but I noticed that when I do a dummy pass, the player will actually perform some kind of sidestep that works.
How do you dummy pass?
You press one pass button, keep it pressed then press the other one
