The issue now is the game is wayyy too easy, ai are passing the ball once each phase which is so easy to defend against even on the hardest difficulty. Now the passing has improved in scoring left right and centre

Until the new update everything was going well, now the game has lags when the player is shown closer, there are moments when the image is interrupted , I scored a try but the try is not validated like nothing happened, at lineout the ball it goes into the stands and then into the field, instead of getting better, it got worse with the new update. Please fix this, thanks.
New Bug! After the latest patch I can no longer box kick without being called for offsides.
I noticed this happening while playing a few matches last night, but it only occurred when I was inside my 22. Has it started happening across the entire pitch now?
Another issue I came across is when the AI wins a ruck inside their own 22, and the player retrieving the ball is positioned behind their try line. In this case, the AI player just stands still indefinitely, never using the ball.

- Passing has improved.
- I find that offloading happens more often and without having to spam LB/RB which I like.
- I am able to do bullet passes consistently by standing still and pressing LB or RB. Example below. I am the team in red.
Overall nice update, needs more tweaking of course.
EDIT: The bullet passing needs to be fixed. I was mid getting tackled and tapped RB twice and my player threw the ball 30 meters and into touch. There were 3 players standing outside him.
Ok 
I donāt know why you are still trying to convince me of something lol. I didnāt make the game tbf

Had my best game today. Good improvement, still a lot more to do tho. Targeted passing is a bit of a mess rn too, if that gets sorted the game will be much better. Thanks guys
Iām playing with lowest teams against all the tier 1 nations as it gives the most challenge, and have played on every difficulty itās all the same games difficulty doesnāt change. Like today played Sudan vs Boks on every difficulty to see if it changed but still from easiest to hardest still winning games 30+ and rucks still the same spam add and steal and you will get the turn over
Is there any difficulty you recommend for career mode ? All the same ?
Yes it is all the same,
Tried different difficulties in both career mode and play now to see if there was a difference but it is really just all the same

What system, Xbox-s played different then Steam
Both pc and ps5 played pretty much exactly the same.
Probably had one or 2 more wins on ps5 than pc
Trying this update now on Xbox. Itās still a complete lottery for me whether or not a pass goes to my immediate support runner, into touch, or some player 20 meters behind me.
Curious to know if Iām doing something wrong because I see a lot of positive comments.

Hard to know really, what system and view? I play on PS5 side-cam and Iām noticing that the player support still isnāt all it could be with some very poor examples still there.
Iāve been avoiding passing to the wing when they arenāt there, but there have been occasions when the wing is more or less there and the pass still goes out to touch. They seem to want them in almost perfect back-line alignment and then it works.
It seems worse if you try and draw defenders in with any sort of drifting/sweeping run from the player in centre position. When you do that the winger doesnāt seem to know how to sprint with you in a proper support position and ends up behind you in what would be a 5 oāclock position, sometimes bunching in close to you, then the pass either isnāt on anymore or they just donāt catch it.
In real rugby a winger needs to be able to sprint that support line following the centreās drift, or cuts in sharply for an inside ball when space is running out.
Wing is a position that needs special attention for support timing and logic for attacking moves, right now many other players are mostly running reasonable support lines.
Finally, I donāt mind the occasional bullet pass now and then, but the CONSTANT bullet pass to the ground and a near PHYSICSLESS ball zooming over the sideline without stopping? Surely they need to fix dropped ball to slow and roll a LOT less???

So passing is now where it was back in ea 4.
The issues upon release were circumvented mainly by speeding up the speed of passes.
The key issue remains that aside from the player receiving the pass attacking players are totally static.
Improve collisions and allow attackers to send more than one player into contact
Reward gain line successes and quick ball. (will need to actually do something about the atrocious rucking system first)
Implement some proper attacking shape and strike moves. Attacking players should all line up with adequate depth and start running their lines as soon as the ball leaves the ruck the yellow lines that were used in rll4 would be handy to help users choose who, and when to pass too.
Program defenders to react to dummy runners and threats to allow us to manipulate the defense defensive scheme should also be affected by how the user attacks
Implement blitz, drift etc defense for variety allowing us to attack both in a variety of ways.
Do all this an we will have a good basis for attacking rugby
Then itās just the small matter of improving almost every aspect of the rest of the gameplay.
Currently the game is an incredibly basic, shallow imitation of rugby union

This game is driving me insane now 
. Iām not sure if PS4 has the latest update, my one did 1:11 update about an hour ago but after the update I noticed nothing different about the passing other than itās easier to pass without ball going forward by not sprinting. I had no support runners keeping in touch with me plus as per usual, as soon as the player picks up the ball, the AI is up on him like a shot and is likely to turn the ball over!!
Rucks really do confuse me tbh, I have tried everything including what was suggested which was to continually press the steal button but nothing works!
My 2 matches today were Moana 0-28 ACT Brumbies and Wales 0-15 New Zealand so I canāt even score a bloody try now!! Itās just not enjoyable anymore because Iām going to lose it with the game with every loss and seriously consider getting FC25 and wait for the next Rugby game likely to come out before next world cup!!
Oosh bring on next season 
Just finished my first proper season in career mode.
Made some wicked signings last season like Ravutaumada, Scott Sio and Joe Hawkins. So they are now in my squad this season and massively strengthened my team and depth. Just agreed contract with Capuozzo and so looking forward to next season!
Slight improvement in gameplay since the last patch but still an awful lot to improve going forward. Am finding myself more and more wanting to pick up the controller now though. So keep up the good work!

This game has serious issues that need to be sorted out
At present all the gameplay offers is ruck pass tackle back to ruck and so on not one bit like real rugby
The is no variation in game play ie some teams playing a kicking game etc ( at present u canāt get a out half to go into the pocket for a kick)
There is no knock ons in the game
There is no penalties in the game other than the odd random offside nothing for high tackles going off your feet etc
The goal kicking in the game is too easy no skill in it at all
Players kicking to touch with the wrong feet so unrealistic every player kicks to touch with there left foot but kicks at goal and kicks off with there right
Please Big Ben sort theses issues out asap
