So will start this by saying I have only played the 1 game, Eng vs Tonga on default hard.
My initial impression was āwhat has changed with the rucks, nothing seems different.ā After a few rucks I began to see differences. Big change is the system has been simplified to Bind to Ruck as O and Steal as Square (PS5). The steal button isnāt always available and will depend on if there is a jackal opportunity or if the ruck has formed already. Iāve been blown for hands in the ruck but not had the AI concede any yet. Push overs now seem to make better logical sense, 2 players pushing over 1 player for example. Have seen pushovers resulting in turnovers as well a new one where attackers will clear out defenders trying a push over. This needs a bit of work as the ball is then loose on the ground. It would be better if the scrum half could still pass out from the ruck as normal as the ball was already in their possession at the base of the ruck. @JNT_BA just a potential bug to point out, I was only able to add up to 3 players to a ruck but the AI could add up to 5. On Jackals these are a lot easier now and if a player gets isolated 85% of the time it results in a turnover. Would be great to see more holding on penalties in these situations but Iām yet to see the AI hold onto the ball and I never use the hold button as it doesnāt feel natural.
Not sure what else was changed as no patch notes yet but noticed the following:
- Scrums played out to completion after 4-6 (canāt remember exact number) green hits but still no way to pass directly from the base of the scrum. SH just picked up the ball and gets tackled before they can pass
- The AI got blown for a clear forward pass near the start of the game. There wasnāt another one after that.
- No knock ons. JNT can we get a slider for knock on frequency?

Look for Custom Difficulties in the section where you manage teams and community stuff.

Hold the button after the 3 to get in the last two, itās not spam anymore. We know he was working on some guides and the patch notes yesterday, but we have had barely any time with him today. Heās been rushing around sorting something seemingly important.

I have adjusted the general kicking and it can be adjusted up to almost Superman kicking the ball.
The settings are under custom difficulties on the third tab across in the same area where you find the community tab.

I got two knock-onās in one of my matches, one by the AI and one by my own team. But I agree we need them more often.

Wow, I remember suggesting that one a long time ago. Thanks for putting that in!
Overall, Iāve had a lot of pluses and a few minuses from my experiences so far.
Kicking distances work great, although only need a small adjustment to go a long way. One problem, the general kicking slider also affects kickoff and place kicking that have their own sliders anyhow.
Iāve had a few crashes also, but submitted the ps5 reports for those.
I found that the default sliders for high tackles are way too high on hard difficulty also. Had three send off in the first half of one game, probably the first 15mins! So I dropped it by 500. Then the AI started doing it as well so I had to fix theirs as well.
Hope we can all give some feedback that helps.
Yes, you have to select each change you want to make.
Then you must select that new created difficulty before starting a game.

Really enjoying the changes as I experiment a bit more.
Iāll echo a few others in here, a slider for knock ons would be very welcome and would allow us to add that little bit more realism and unpredictability to games.

On the last screen before the game loads. Where you can choose stadium, half length etc, cycle through the difficulties until you find it.

Aināt there sliders for offloads frequency.
The offloads a bit repetitve when AI are on attack even when playing its easy to offload the ball without any errors sometimes but it needs to be less frequent

The gameplay kicking is much better ā¦grubbers work very nice if you have correct slider strength and also kickoff going actually in the back off opposition 22 ā¦rucks is a bit messy i had 5 turnovers happening after anotherā¦ai does not box out off 22 ā¦ for me its stil just the passing that breaks gamplay the player receives the ball at the back and motion breaks want to know why if the ball is loose i cant control the player that always bugs me
