I cannot play this game until the AI has been fixed, as per my previous comments and suggestions in this thread. There are 4 major AI fixes needed. At least then I can start enjoying the game while you work on all the other things.
I know there are some major gameplay things that need to be fixed, but in the meantime, there are hundreds of smaller issues that can be crossed off. If you can fix all the small things wrong with this game in the next 4 weeks, then you only have to focus on the bigger gameplay issues after that, allowing us to at least have a somewhat enjoyable experience in the meantime

Same here, I can only play online and again, it is a lottery to find someone that will kick and try to play rugby, as opposed to picking from the base cosntantly/spamming fend off. Honestly wish they would give some attention to online to try improve the tackling and overall experience.
Played todayās patch on PS5. For those hoping for improvement you will be very disappointed.
Itās just got worst.
Massive frame rate drops even with the Minecraft grass. All bugs still there. No improvement in ruck, scrum or line outs. I hate this game!!

Please tell me this isnāt trueā¦ havenāt downloaded yet and I liked game currently
Does this patch mess things up?
Well Iām remaining optimistic that the game will eventually be fixed as time goes by. All there other titles have become good eventually through patches. Cricket 24, Tie Break to name a couple.
Well Iāll rephrase that, in my opinion for me at least, I am enjoying those games. Iām sure given enough time this game will be fixed and have a lot of features implemented into the game. At the moment , and again I stress for me personally, playing AI v AI I am happy with progress so far.
That doesnāt mean to say Iām fine if there no more patches or fixes done. There is a lot that needs adding in, making sure that works correctly, and fixing what we have. By that I mean the ruck system, decisions made by the AI regarding choice of penalties and certain plays they make require ironing out and fixing. In game bugs with the match engine especially certain passes and offloads need looking at.
Once all the gameplay features have been fixed I am hopeful of more content being added. Players having their correct photogrammetry faces included for most, if not all, teams. All the big teams anyway.
That reminds me You may want to look at Paddy Jackson who plays for Perpignan. His in game representation doesnāt match his look in real life. There are also numerous other players that need updating too. Iām not expecting any of that to be sorted soon btw. It is a hopeful wish though.
Gameplay fixes first and then hopefully updated content.
Right time to check out this patch thatās just dropped.

Iāve played a couple games, on ps5.
It is the first time the AI has scored three tries against me, on hardest difficulty. I find the AI now uses fend off all the time, and the untouchable player glitch works against you.
But still I spent a while defending over the try line and it always went for the long pass, so it doesnāt seem to follow any logic. It certainly is a bit harder, but probably not in the way I would have liked it to be.
The AI got two penalties (still dont know where did the ref see those offsides) were within kicking distance and went for a scrum, again!
The grass is still carpet. I was able to see the highlights when the game is finished (there was a lock icon on it before this update), but only once. I donāt know if the referee kits for top14 were there before but I have just noticed they are now.
It would be nice to be able to skip maybe 10 playes when making changes in the squad, maybe using the left and right arrows. It would make the process less tedious, because the squads are so big (30-40 players).
We badly need a button to dive over a loose ball bouncing around, as well as to score inside the goal zone, rather than chasing it around to pick it up. And please a mark that hints us where an aerial ball is going to land! When the AI kicks is all mistery.
Also still many player appearances not matching reality (Louis Carbonel from stade franƧais looks like a fijian with a mullet).

Do you think it would be possible to add a kit import tool given that some people are making nice kits in the community. Itās great to be able to create additional kits for teams. We can already download teams, players, logos, would it still be possible to do the same thing with kits? Otherwise, for todayās update, there are no big changes. The AI āāis still a little better, but there is still progress to be made, especially in its game intelligence and strategic choices. Regarding kicking, the up and under needs to be improved; the ball doesnāt rise high enough to be able to contest it when the ball falls. And I find that the off loads are too frequent and work every time, there should be a little more bad passes, We still donāt know if we will be able to modify the teams I hope that will be the case it is perhaps the most important for the lifespan of the game. The content of the game is great, the gameplay is good but can still improve. Keep going Big ant, take the time it takes, keep improving your game and success will be there!!

Big Ant, well done!
You guys finally adjusted the AI difficulty. I am getting my behind wooped. And I LOVE IT!
Yes there is the invincible glitch again sometimes with AI players when they perform a fend, which they do a lot but I am okey with that.
Overall. I am very happy with this patch! Thank you for listening guys.
The game is for me, personally, much more enjoyable now!
Also feels like Kicking to posts is a bit more difficult now too? I might be wrong. Will wait for the patch notes. But really enjoying this update.
PS. I am playing on Steam. And for me the update is a massive improvement in AI gameplay!
Below screenshot from my first game on Hardest. Was extremely fun now! AI Pushed me to the last bit of defending in my own 22 until I stole the ball and kicked it out! What a match.

Agreed! I also noticed goal kicking is a bit trickier now. Also, has the left foot kicker trajectory always been different to right footers or is this new? Got a bit confused when i saw it bending the opposite way

Agreed. Just downloaded 1.6 gb patch on Series S. Best gameplay so far. Spacing and positioning of CPU makes it exciting for first time. CPU does a great job fending and taking advantage of mistakes. Difficulty on Hardest CPU BEAT ME for first time. Lost 35-14. Had to start concentrating. Passing is wonderful for me and CPU. Saw a knock on advantage for Cpu where play continued. No held up try or kicking bugs. Best update yet and Iām pleasantly surprised. Will be playing this game more now! I really want some sliders and field markings though.
Is there any patch notes?
CPU kicked 3 out of 4 penalties
This is awesome !

Two AI v AI matches done after the new patch.
Pro D2 Season Mode:
Valence Romans 12-14 Provence
URC Season Mode:
Leinster 21-7 Dragons
Both games were very entertaining and the AI is playing better. There are still a few issues which need fixing and a few things need implementing into the game.
But by and large I am really happy with the latest patch. I can only see things getting better as we move forward.
Iām sure face scans of players, editing team stadiums, adding custom created players to in game teams etc will all come in future updates. Hopefully some more competitions which I mentioned in an earlier post too.
But ultimately this is heading in the right direction. I can only see improvements as we go forward with patches.
Big thank you to Big Ant 
for todays, and all other patches so far.
