In my opinion it should be 1st high tackle should be a penalty or a yellow (red depending on severity) then a second time shoukd be a red for double yellows.

I thought I’d have another game as I can’t keep myself off the game tbh.
Currently playing my Top 14 Season Mode or Competition whatever it’s called.
Anyway Lyon are currently leading Castre 21-0 with about 10 minutes to go until half time. I have my game set on Hard difficulty, 20 minute halves, and side camera. I also play all my games AI v AI.
I’ve noticed that Lyon’s fly half, Paddy Jackson, looks nothing like his real life counterpart. I assume at some point you will get photogrammetry for all, if not, most teams?
I’m still experiencing the same issues but I’m hoping these get sorted on Tuesday. I am aware that Ross the Boss has spoken out regarding this after watching a short video by Consistent Walkthroughs.
Many thanks 
Edit: just finished the game and it ended up with Lyon beating Castre 35-14.
It wasn’t to bad a game in the end to be fair. But like I’ve said the Thursday patch and Friday hot fix has definitely broken the game in so many ways compared to how it played before those patches.
I don’t know if you guys can, or cannot, roll it back a couple of patches next Tuesday. It would certainly make the game run smoother for me playing AI v AI. I can’t speak for everyone else though.
But I guess we will see. I’m not giving up, there’s a bloody good game here once everything is running as it should do.
Many thanks

Played one game today after yesterday’s patch.
Agree with all the above.
- AI players seem to stop running when recieving the ball, then start again
- I’ve noticed AI tries now to go for rhe sidestep almost every time. Makes it weird because it triggers that slow animation that makes everything “bumpy”.
- Plus every issue carried since release until now.
The checklist for the developers must be very clear by now. If they get down to one update a week but fix one issue at a time, we may have a functional rugby game by summer. Dont get me wrong, that would be great

Worst thing I’ve seen in this game caused by the recent patch is floating pursuit runners. They look to be running in air in slow motion. Terrible. Id be happy with what we had after Tuesday for a month of them just working and testing.
Played another test game, won it 7 - 0 , good game though. My team was better than AI’s but the fend off has now been fixed
You can have a good game but you need a good team, I was playing on Easy this time
I thought Thursday update was bad for ps5 the one from yesterday is actually worst no every pass AI stops and then run, starting to believe the team is running in the same problems they probably had before EA where after every “good” update the game/engine just breaks and set us like 10 updates back and the process just starts again till next broken patches.
Is there a chance team can maybe test have to hold speed trigger out of the game and have players speed as stats shows, feel it was one thing I liked about Rugby 15 was there was no speed trigger and all depended on stats because atm I hit a gap with Kolbe and 1 second later guy is slow that props can tackle him

Hi BA,
Not sure if it is specifically the score of 108 or if it is any score between 101 and 110 … but the end digit went missing.
Also if you dive and put the ball down in goal but then continue to slide over the dead ball line the game does not recognise the try and restarts with a drop out. Playing at Sales home ground whichever that is.
Edit: Seems to do it at 120+ as well
It does the same for any set of 10 above. Only reflects 141 but no other digit. Assuming the container isn’t set wide enough.

Please BA look at The scrum penalties need looking at so both sides get them not just the ai team also the kicking penalties instead of scruming every penalty and also giving a penalty for no reason
The game is basically gooched. How many post release patches have we had only for the gameplay to go backwards? It wouldn’t be so bad if playing the game was enjoyable if not accurately depicting the rules and nuances of rugby union…but it’s not even that. I was a sucker to buy it.
Floaty passes are also back quick qeustuon when is the top 14 teams gonna be licensed fully no player faces at montpellier clermont etc.. Also how many updates do you guys wanna bring … We paid for tge game full price I think it is time you guys deliver fully and bring major updates not just small updates but we need to start coming together and get this game finished cause honestly some days are good some days are bad and some days it just feels like I was scammed. @JNT_BA also when is the rest of the SPRINGBOK squad getting done Its been 14 updates… How many more the scrums are a bit dumb at the moment you struggle to get the ball away from behind and also lead to penalties a lot you guys have to answer you guys are just quiet when is this gonna come together come on man you guys have to give us feedback not just let us stay in the dark

Fwiw while the current patch is broken there are some better offensive possibilities happening now especially with support runners. Hopefully they can crack it. That said I really wish the backline was ya know the backline versus random players
Edit:
Actually id go one step further to say this is probably the most enjoyable the attacking side has been so far. You can score a range of tries which is nice
Hi Team,
As someone who posts videos on YouTube for Rugby Video gaming. I have not done as nearly enough videos or posted as frequently as I have wanted. I have so many ideas and plans to make for content. I am passionate about this game and to see it succeed as a fun and good quality rugby game.
I want to show and expose the game in a positive way as a rugby fan and in which it would probably help make some people decide to buy it to help support the sales of the game but it is hard to be motivated to make content or even a series on a club season or tournament with all the problems with AI unable to attack with any skill or pressure.
This is such a major issue hurting the game being exposed and frustrating the customers like myself and others on here who already bought it and been in the EA. I just hope you can get the right rugby coding to fix the Ai attack.
All european club comps are played in stade de france on career mode. Would be great if this could be sorted.

Hi everyone
Played quite a bit over the weekend after the hot fix on Friday.
Man, I can feel there’s a great Rugby game in there and for that, well done, Rugby is an incredibly complex sport with so many elements and I commend you for at least trying. EA games made a good game but as most companies, they were only in it for the money, they had no passion for the game so they cut it along with Cricket.
Now, to my feedback, the defence on both sides need to be better, I can break the opposition line way too easily, especially with a pickup and go and if I throw in a fend or two followed by a pass, which leads to another fend, I find myself 30+ up by half time. The same goes for the AI, they can break my line just as easily with my players sometimes not even going for the tackle, almost like they’re playing “touch rugby”. I can almost hear my player saying: “Oh, excuse me” while the opposition just continues on their merry way. Sometimes the AI finishes with 14 points with 20% possession because they could break my line so easily. Being able to fend off every first tackle is very unrealistic, this should be minimized.
I have a season goal of scoring 9 drop goals, but I am unable to do that as the drop goal has no power at all, my players just toes the ball to the opposition.
Why are the scrums still broken? The only way to win the scrum is by frantically pressing for the number 8 to pick up an go otherwise you just collapse the scrum.
The AI will only go for goal on a penalty when it is awarded in my 22, every other place on the field will be a scrum, the scrum should be the last thing that they opt for on a penalty. Depending on the scoreline and how far we are in the game, they should go for goal anywhere in my half of the field or go for touch, should they need to stage a comeback or when they are in there own half.
So please just focus on defence as well, It shouldn’t always have to be a try fest with everyone just breaking the line all the time.
Thank you

I live in South Africa and I’ve been without electricity for 7 days.
What did I miss? Can I put Halfpenny and North in the Welsh national team yet?
Sadly not, it seems that they are not interested in this feature. Crazy I know. They have the ability to search and filter players but have not activated “licensed players” to be transferred. For me not having this has killed any enjoyment in the game. I’ve stopped playing it, shame really as it’s a great game.

Hi Big Ant,
again players standing still when receiving a pass.it destroy the attacking flow of the game.
Kick to touch on 5m line Camera don’t work again Big ants we have mentioned this,everytime i had to kick across the field.
Quick Throw Line Out is broken.
Rucks again is just odd,is just you have to spam buttons the Bar is useless.
there is no indication of when to turn over or when to realese the whole ruck system needs to changed.The Hold on ball button is useless we don’t have to press manualy on the hold on button it should be automaticly for us as users i can still press the button when there is no defenders at the ruck i still get penalized for holding on even there is no jackal or defender ,because AI does not concede a penalty for holding on.
General Kick needs a line tracetory,Vertical kicks/bomb kicks and need for more height even box kick needs more height and dept tracetory.
Grubber kicks needs tracertory line .
Goal kick is not an challenge its to easy and the ball curve only goes one way the wind has no influence of the kicks.
AI still scrum alot.
Where is the Penalty advantages/i don’t see any the ref is blowing immediately for penalty.
whe need and momentum system and a phase play stats whilst on attack to see the momentum bar when your team is on the frontfoot.
even we need forwards\scrum weight pack stats in cutscenes.
We need the formation of pods actions right for back pass and deep pass.
We need set the attacking backline options
Wide/Deep/flat
Defends
Compress/Wide/flat/.
Setplays and variety of attacking style is the immersion of rugby.
When playing womens competions the content the crowd is amazing whe need that in mens rugby please the adverts,Licence around the field.
Its Still raining through the roof in Dunedin Forsythh Barr.
Set plays also Big ANTS we depend on you but listening to us is critical,we no rugby is the most complex game to make,player movemnets,rules and animations is difficult.
Just given us what we want a complete rugby game
