Rugby League 26 - Megathread

Hit ups (R3) on ps5 are fairly effective at breaking a tackle. But yes, fends are weak and barely work..

I was looking everywhere to try find game/year stats, tackles made, try assists, errors, try’s. Ect
Surely, also I couldn’t find a setting to turn off unlimited Interchanges.

Oreyt lads is the game honestly worth buying? Or is it absolutely horrendous :rofl: nice1

It’s legit a cut copy of live4 just with better graphics, only changed animation is a Reece Walsh big dive over the line

I think that given the state the game has launched in (in particular the fact it is basically the same as RLL4) Big Ant should be communicating out a roadmap of intended fixes.

The radio silence on gameplay and career and only addressing Pro Team is very frustrating

Why is it whenever I tackled someone over the sideline near their try line it’s always a restart at the 50 metre line?

Is there a setting in career mode to change the number of interchanges ?

I ventured in - Steam version.
1 game - 5 min halves. Pro difficulty.
Played as Knights.
Pro: Ponga is left footed.
Con: Ponga was wearing his maroons headgear.
When you make changes in the team management, they don’t change jersey numbers.

I jumped back into live4 recently to shake off the cobwebs so everything felt natural.

Off to work now…:unamused_face:

Things like this and blatant gameplay issues just make me feel the PS5 version (and assume other platforms ) we have surely can’t be the final build and product they had for release ….

Until we wait to hear from someone though it’s all me being hopeful and willing to help get it there hahaha

There is a lot of promise and I can see the potential but boy we are a long way off it being a near finished product from the build currently available to PS5 …….

-Not sure what stadiums are effected but mcdonald jones stadium the sun is setting behind the eastern stand.

  • kick for touch is resulting in a play the ball
  • kicking out on the full is always a play the ball on halfway
  • players barging over is a 50/50 on which animation is triggered and non are suitable for goal line defense.
  • golden point you play until time runs out, i also scored in golden point then i was the team kicking off
  • field logos are horrible and the 20m line is missing around the logo
  • career mode opposition halves are in the wrong jerseys.
  • interchange seems unlimited
  • numerous times ive had trys awarded when not reaching the tryline.
  • accidental offsides not being called
  • contested catch ? I thought i saw footage of a bar that fills up, yet to see it.
  • resigning or signing players is to easy
  • salary cap is out of whack and values of players leave to much cap space
  • no limit to number of players in squad in career
  • no in game or season stats
  • no team lists before starting game, evening just having the option to look at opposition team pre game like cricket24 would do.
  • ponga has his qld headgear on playing for the knights
  • some players kicking with wrong foot.
  • ref whistle heard when scoring then hear it again in cutscene
  • touchie flags way to big
  • touchie doesnt raise flag when going out
  • stamina needs rework, a fresh forward should never rundown an outside back who has fatigue
  • cant always change positions of players on field in team management

Is it possible to get a text size option added? On PS5, I’m finding the text size to be annoyingly small in most of the menus.

It’s going to be partly due to how I have my TV etc positioned, but I have good eyesight, and no issues on anything else. I know if it’s annoying me, it’ll be annoying others too, so at least having the option would be good.

All of this is was found on PC and while playing career mode as a coach.

Commentary stops sometimes, usually after going into team management and swapping players - sometimes pausing the game and unpausing fixes it, it appears to kick back into gear when half time screen comes up

Need a way to either search for provide games or add friends from other platforms to play with online custom games.

Internal server error when trying to play online game ( cross play enabled, game between steam and ps version)

The quick interchange ui so so small I can’t read it, and I dont think it shows stamina for players

My career mode has unlimited interchanges active and I dont know how to disable it.

Need the ability to to swap a players position and substitute one of the player being swapped. Ie swap 9 and 13, sub the 13 off. End result would be 9 is at lock, sub is at 9. 13 is on bench.

Restarts - a lot of restarts start on the 50m line instead of where the ball/player went out.

Short drop outs and short kick off’s are impossible.

Dummy half needs to stay near the ball carrier, more to the carrier once they are tackled or another player needs to run into that role, they currently run halfway across the field and drain their stamina.

Speed needs tweeking, Tyrell Sloan should be able to out run a prop when he’s made a break.

Ps icons/duelsence support in steam needs to be added

No ball stripping?

No stats during half time?

Switching players on defence feels broken. Holding the button in, moving moving stick works. Then you release the button and the player swapping back to one of the markers

Mate it’s 7:46 AM in Melbourne, lol they will probably communicate on different things as soon as they can, and they already did yesterday for some aspects (Pro Team I think)

As I never played RLL games before, I find the game pretty cool. The difference with Rugby 25 is massive

I’ve been playing the game for a few hours on Xbox now. Nothing about this feels like any previous RLL games. Even RLL4 was better than this. Maybe it was because I was a child back then idk I just prefer the older games. I might repurchase the older games instead of this cack. On a side note, Donkey Kong Bananza released today too so I’ll be refunding RL26 and purchasing DK

Some text size options would be nice.

Text, particularly in the menus is quite small.

The lack of any stats for the games in match is also unusual for this genre.

Some changes that may help the gameplay improve would be to change the compress defence button to hold it down and your team compresses more as long as you hold the button down. This way it allows you to counter the step and right stick moves but opens up your outsides to overlaps so this is a risk/reward.

The same goes for sliding left and right with the dpad, you should be able to hold left or right to slide left or right as much as you want to counter attacks left or right side but again this is risk/reward as it will open up attacks wider on the left or right.

Not using sliding/compressed defence should be easier to break the line also a risk by not using versus using it.

Thirdly speed up the play the ball and speed up the passing to get the ball movement quicker to exploit the line changes, scrambling that will occur from having to change line positioning quickly on the fly.

This in theory should help create a faster more free flowing gameplay loop that should open up more realistic try scoring opportunities because as of right now the defensive line is just a wall with no other real way to break it but with the step. At least by bringing in a better sliding defence option it will help create a more realistic game flow.

Honestly im so close to refunding it. Ive never refunded any game in my life but man theres so much wrong. So many players just randomly being listed as flb example james tamou just shows a lack of any effort or quality assurance. But at the same time whats the alternative if u want a rugby league game

Is pro team just for the men’s leagues or are the NRLW and Women’s super league included?

Has anyone been able to import a custom team for a Coach Career? If so, does the team need to be made first before the option comes up?

Having slept on the 2 Xbox matches I had before I went to bed last night..

I actually don’t mind the feel, perhaps needs some tweaks here and there but overall not the worst and I feel could be worked into being pretty enjoyable.
It’s the little things that irk me, how pixelated and rubbish the field markings and advertisements look.
Players standing on the wrong side of the sideline and dick all sideline furniture/support staff
The lighting just doesn’t seem right most of the time.
The lack of stats is abysmal.
The commentary is pus - some of cams lines are good and some sound like he’s learning to read. It’s beyond me why they just re-recorded the same lines of Vossy.
Obviously all the number/positional/age bugs are annoying as well.
Dummy half is putrid.
Weren’t the coaches scanned?

I feel like most of this can be ironed out fortunately.
Jumping back in now to have another crack.
