Anyone else get pinged for a penalty when performing a box kick? Am I doing something wrong?

Hello, can we get an idea on how much the team are able/willing to do with regards to updates?
There is alot of stuff on here that people are suggesting that would require pretty heavy reworks. But is this feasable? Should we be managing our expectations? Are we more likely to see tweaks and fixes to the mechanics that are already here?
I just think some information would help the feedback and suggestions going foward.
Thanks

Will it not just be easier for the guys working on the gameplay and stability to play a game or 2 of rugby challenge . See how the did it .
This Game really looks good , Graphics is amazing , something i would have wanted to see in Rugby Challenge 4 , If only this Game can have the same gameplay just with the new laws added , and some extras , this will be the best Rugby Game ever . And moving on from here to the next game will be easier to just adjust ! I dont have a copy yet , still playing my Rugby challenge , waiting to see if this is worth the buy or just another Rugby 22 That i still have and dont even play at all . Big Ant , you guys are doing a awesome job ! just fill in the gaps and its sorted . The game will fly off the shelfs in every country ! I am from South Africa where the World Cup Champs are !!!

GOAT game in my opinion. 08 was before my time but thought this one was great, even online games were great.

Another bug that i have just encountered is if you get a penalty and choose to kick for touch, if the clock goes red while the ball is in the air it automatically ends the game rather than allowing the lineout
Still some teams you canāt edited it or remove prayers to add your created player. The bulls are a team and the springboks you canāt add your player so sad.

Hi Lachie,
It seems there is a bug when winning the Brazil Super 12 in Career. Poneeey tried the final 3 times, 3 bugs/crashes:
1st attempt: Crash when holding the trophy
2nd attempt: Ball stuck in a ruck at the 80th
3rd attempt: Crash when holding the trophy
It also seems that the Competition is not implemented correctly.

1st phase: 3 groups with 4 clubs each (6 rounds)
2nd phase: The top 2 teams from each group in the 1st phase advance to the Hexagonal (5 rounds);
Final: The top 2 teams from the Hexagonal will play in the grand final
It seems the 2nd phase is not properly implemented.

Are we still expecting to see a roadmap of updates that was promised before the game released.

Donāt press a direction on your left analog win binding, try pressing shoulder button and b to bind. And depending on the situation donāt always bind 3, you have to keep an eye on the defense, if there is no one near the ruck just bind 1-2, I believe this will waste less stamina on your players, so that you ready for a more intense ruck the next breakdown. The ruck is not just smashing buttons, you have to read what the opponent is doing, read your positioning at the breakdown and react accordingly if you smash 3 into the ruck on both offense and defense your players will lose stamina, and the next play will not be as affective. Sometimes you only need to bind 1 or 2 and then press steal. Both the B bind button, work on its own to overwhelm your opponent by binding faster and more for a pushover, and then there is the occasional 1 or 2 player B button press bind followed by the steal.(The animation for this is not always realistic but it works, sometimes you get 1 player steal the ball and bulldozer over 3 offensive rucking players that are a little late to the ruck). A simple steal animation without the bulldozing effect would look better) Still not sure how the Y is factored in.(NOT effective at the moment) I think they are still working on the Y contested tackle.( I think that will be our Jackle)
Also sprint on occasion not all the time. I believe all these things play a factor in the ruck, well, I would hope so, unless its wishful thinking

Ps5 players can quick sub during online games, why canāt xbox players do that yet? Or am I missing something?
With regards to adding players to international teams etc, they had this locked with cricket 24 not being able to add IPL players to their national teams. This was unlocked with a patchā¦ hopefully they will unlock in this game.
One gripe is I canāt even search for players in the academyā¦game has obviously been rushed out for the 6 nations.

I wonder if a patch might see that functionality appear too, without making a song and dance about it in case it is against any licensing agreement madeā¦
How ? I havenāt seen sbs online yet
I know itās been said in here a lot. But for me, the biggest issue is the passing and AI lines
It feels very unnatural and itās not only the ball physics but the biggest problem is you canāt spin the ball down the line quickly as the players seem to stop when they receive the ball
Sadly, because of this, itās unplayable for me right now, as well as poor support lines and lack of structure to the backline meaning players arenāt really in the position they should be. I canāt remember being able to see the 9 being able to pass to the 10, 10 to 12, 12 to 13, then to wings. Whilst it does mix up often in rugby, you do get that formation quite often
Pods would be really cool to see in attack too, as well as teams continually going round the corner. Not sure the game has the depth yet where teams have any variety in tactics, they all play very similarly
A new bug is, in the Manage Teams section, youāre unable to amend the team lineup (as well as not add players to squad which we know about). Also you canāt update the teamās home stadium (and I noticed Englands is The Stoop, which would be fun as a quins season ticket holder!)
Further cool content would be the Millennium Stadium having a closed roof.

really hope so, its crazy that you cannot add players to the squad that are actually playing in the real 6 nations

Hi Big Ant,
I really really want to like this game, and for it to succeed, but theres a few basic rules and features that arent present at the moment which is breaking the immersion completely.
No legitimate offside. I can tackle from an offside position and not be penalised. This is often happening by accident by virtue of players that control sluggishly.
No knock ons. I had a player pass a ball about 20m forward and out of play, resulting in a scrum feedā¦to me.
Forward passes which arent actually forward at all but penalised.
No ruck penalties. Rucks shouldnt explode with bodies flying everywhere when there is a turnover, unless there is a landmine underneath them. Most of the time all players stay bound but the defence and attack lines move into their respective position (see Rugby Challenge, rugby 22, 08, 06, RWC2011 and all other rugby games)
Theres also very little, if any difference between forwards and backs.
Passing also needs to be smoother, and tackles too. Ive not played RLL but i can see a lot of tackles that look like theyve been lifted directly. Unfortunately these dont really relate well in a rugby union game

Apperently ps5 guys can hit the touchpad button to get recommended subs. Playing in a SA online tournament with some guys on PS who can do it.

Xbox can too, you hold the select button icon on controller and press up on direction pad to sub forwards and down to sub backs

Hi Team,
I know it was adjusted in EA but I feel āThe Ai Break Tackleā ability is not really even working now. I just uploading a video on my YouTube channel with Stormers vs Ospreys. The Ospreys went through countless phases towards end of match or during match against me but never seemed to break a tackle even some of my players no stamina left or very low.
I think it needs to happen sometime. I am sure some of those Ospreys players had good enough stats for Break Tackle or strength. Match was on Hardest Difficulty and I didnāt feel that challenged. Won 14-3 but was not playing at full intensity. Easy to win rucks too so I held off a bit to give them some possession.
Also , before halftime or at injury time at 40mins, an Ospreys Prop tried to boot the ball sideways into touch about 3-4 times. The ball did not travel that far and i could regain possession. Very unrealistic. Ospreys should be passing to fullback or another backline player in space to kick the ball out. Not the prop doing this action. Thanks Team

Will there be any updates to custom teams? I want to create my own team but cannot select any players at all?
