Was going to ask the same. It’s getting frustrating as hell. So many people have suggested things and it would be great to know if there are bigger things in the works in the background while all these little tweaks are done

Agree, I think I played you and appreciated you trying to play actual rugby. I think, since it is a small community (look at top of leaderboards), we know who does not actually try to play rugby and just abused mechanics. Last night, I scored a lovely crossfield kick in online play, of course I could have just spammed offloads but there is nothing competitive to play for atm so why bother chasing wins.

Once again cannot edit teams. BA what is happening with this and why is it not resolved. It was not issue when game released. Please fix this and listen to your customers.

Roadmap needed, 100% agree with that. Nacon (not Big Ant) actually did say we’d have one on Day One with the console launch, that never actually came out in the end…

Well I’ve played a couple of games on hardest difficulty and there is certainly some progress.
I’ve commited a knock on (my first one since launch!) after a bad offload.
Played argentina-all blacks and I was losing 0-6 in min 75. So the AI kicked a couple penalties. Still chose scrum a couple times on their own half instead of kicking to touch.
Beauden barrett kind of bent the kick outwards. He is right footed and the curve was to the right as well, with a realistic effect. Will we be able to do this in the future?
AI also sent dummy runners and passed behind the back to play outside. Also long passes to the sideline where the winger was waiting. Will we be able to do this too? Hopefully but for now the support runners come close when there is space to run outside.
Also, when I scored a try on the 76th minute and was going to kick to win 7-6, the camera slowed down before the kick which looked cool, dont know if this was there before as every previous game I had won by a lot.
Good new improvements, still a long list of things pending like lineouts, scrums, ai not kicking for territory/tactical, no set plays, still no high tackles or yellow cards, kicker in the pocket running at the ball (STILL!). A small glitch that I will raise to the support tram as well. But to be honest, almost being beaten by the AI made me smile. Getting there 
And idea for the developers would be to have a button for a very strong tackle, that would be impossible to fend or bump off, but woth a high chance of high tackle. Leave it there.

Just played a game post patch.
Slower speed feels good more impactful
Ai passing a little morr
Defensive positioning still atrocious, 3 players running away from the ball leaving an enormous gap.
Worse than the defensive positioning is the attacking.
10 players in and around the ruck 
Games an absolute shambkes

Latest patch is worse than Friday or Tuesday. Was having great fun vs AI but they are back not scoring, not moving ball. I can stop them again on Hardest. But they play better defense so its a stalemate.
PLEASE BIG ANT REVOKE THIS UPDATE!

Bonjour avis sur la MAJ du 03/04/2025
Concernant l’IA, je vais donner mon point de vue
Je réalise 2 matches dans chaque difficulté pour me faire un bon avis
Depuis la dernière petite mise à jour, l’IA s’est améliorée, il y a du mieux, mais cela ne reste pas à sa hauteur.
IA reflète le jeu, sans bonne IA le jeu ne sera jamais à la hauteur des attentes des joueurs.
-Les raffuts de IA et de nous sont trop cheat il faut revoir l’équilibrage.
-Quand on pose la manette et qu’on regarde jouer l’IA, elle recule en attaque, c’est pour dire à quel point c’est facile de contrer ces attaques. Faites le test.
-IA trop prévisible , elle manque d’alternance dans les jeux;
- Drops
- joue au pied par-dessus notre défense/ ballon a ras du sol
- Etc…
- Lors de pénalité, IA choisit a 95% la mêlée au lieu de prendre les 3 points ou d’aller en touche
-Arbitrage à des défauts il siffle la pénalité contre nous alors que bien souvent c’est IA qui fais la faute
Regarding the AI, I’ll give my opinion.
I’ve played two matches on each difficulty to form a good opinion.
Since the last minor update, the AI has improved. There’s been some improvement, but it’s not up to par.
The AI reflects the game; without good AI, the game will never live up to players’ expectations.
-The noise from the AI and us is too cheaty; the balance needs to be reworked.
-When you put down the controller and watch the AI play, it retreats when attacking, which shows how easy it is to counter these attacks. Try it.
-The AI is too predictable; it lacks alternation in the games. - Drops
- Kicks over our defense/ball at ground level
- Etc.
- During penalties, AI chooses the scrum 95% of the time instead of taking the 3 points or going into touch
- The referee is flawed; he calls the penalty against us when it’s often AI who commits the foul
Cards what cards not seen any i’m on ps5, i didn’t think they were on the game yet 
Must be just us, maybe we are just crazy and dont see the cards… or more then likely, they are not in the game or they are in the game and hidden so you dont even notice…
@jojodu15 one of the moderators said that they have an automatic bot that deletes any post not in english. I suggest you translate it on google and post it, your opinion is very valid I believe

I have to agree with this. The AI are passing the ball and everything but since this new update from today, they are not scoring any points against me anymore.
Yes the game is more difficult as I win by much lower margins, but now the AI are back to being scoreless the whole time.
Also, the AI constantly choosing Scrum for penalties is starting to get annoying.
Please Big Ant, fix the AI again. Their defense is good, I dont mind that. But they definitely need to up their Attacking game.

I’m starting to wonder if licenses prevent them from giving us this update on adding and removing players

Good evening everyone
Some points I would like to point out :
- Stamina gauge for user players just drain to quickly while running while seemingly the cpu doesnt lose stamina. 2. The scrums is just terrible at the moment even if you hit all oerfect you will still lose the scrum if it is not your feed
3.I can not for the life of it understand why we can’t. Add and remove players from squads it has been brought up how many times already.
4.When are we gonna start getting decent big updates and not just some hotfixes .. When are the rest of the playfaces for licenses players coming… How many upfates already and it is still not complete.
5.Cpu players getting injured and not being replaced it has been brought up how many times already also the cpu does even use substitutes its like just there because its there
6.I have been playing the game regularly since the release I have never ever seen a card yellow or red … Buty players get suspended for high tackles though but no cards…
7.substitution animations surely you guys can work that into the game I am sure of it - Still something that is bothering me is the kicking at goal animation it looks terrible at the start of every kick the guy kicking looks like he is taking a poop on the toilet…
Further on some other gameplay elements did improve a lot in some areas and we thank you for your hard work and efforts guys @JNT_BA But please don’t ignore us the players

I must admit I agree with everything the above people have written.
We have had some good patches just lately, however, todays patch seems to have taken things backwards which is disappointing.
A shame I can’t roll back to the previous patch. I would take that and no grass compared to todays patch.
I don’t suppose you guys can undo what you have changed? The game played better with the last patch compared to this one.
Now we have to wait until next Tuesday for the next patch which hopefully will change things back to how they were.
A few good things but ultimately backwards overall.
Many thanks

Nothing is impossible. I’ll see what I can do today.

Hey @JNT_BA
This most recent patch has been 5 steps back. Before this patch, game was starting to feel more fluid and a lot more enjoyable to play.
Here are some points that this patch has changed that need to be fixed.
-Players are bunched around the ruck. Probably the worst that it’s ever been.
-Support lines have gotten worse. Players not drifting, or running good lines or are standing too deep and are not running onto the ball.
-Scoring less points against AI but game has become very unbalanced. Pretty much starves you of possession the whole game, then when you turnover the ball the opposition instantly turns the ball back over. AI constantly knocks the ball on but it doesn’t get picked up by the referee.
Please fix these issues asap and start addressing some of these massive gameplay issues asap. Game in its current state is unplayable
E.g.
-Attacking structure, with running lines and angles tactics, proper positional play, Set plays.
-Proper jackal opportunities in the rucks with opportunities to milk penalties or get penalised for being off feet. A bit of logic in the rucks, e.g. if there’s 3 on 1 in the ruck it’s pretty clear which side should be winning the ball.
If you literally prioritised these two areas would completely change the game.
Starting to question what the team working on the actual gameplay of rugby (not the team working on face scans, visuals etc) are actually doing each week.
Because it’s the same every week, 2 steps forward with 1 step back on Tuesday, then 1 step forward 5 steps back on Thursday.
It’s crazy how many weeks it’s been after the game was fully released, and there has been no major improvements.
I would suggest releasing a roadmap of what is being worked on, as then at least players know these areas are being worked on. With these gameplay issues at the top of the list.
@JNT_BA I know you’re just the face of the company answering questions in the forums, and you’re restricted to what you can and can’t say. Cheers for all your comms. Please pass this feedback on. If the game continues on this path I don’t think there’s going to be a player base left in a month

I think todays update wasn’t the greatest gameplay wise I think I’d revert back
Easy was enjoyable now it’s very hard and not fun , the defends line speed is way too fast now
I read the patched notes I think on easier difficulties the AI line speed doesn’t need to be this fast
I don’t see that as an improvement what it was before today was better agree with the others
No worries @JNT_BA we know you guys are trying hard to fix, improve, and adds things.
It may sound or look like I am venting off and shouting but I am not.
I am simply trying to give you guys advice on what needs fixing etc.
I’ve really enjoyed the game this past couple of weeks, I just feel it’s been a step back today that is all.
Thank you as always for the hard work you guys are putting in.
Many thanks
