Rugby League 26 - Megathread

@JNT_BA Can we get a bugs megathread maybe or are we allowed to make one?

Yeah I’m surprised there isn’t just a bug megathread. Someone should make it, and whoever does can edit the main post with bugs posted below it. Also, just heard the practice kicking as the game was downloading on console had a wind indicator? That accurate? Why would wind be there but not in-game.

Solid idea, i’ll go do it. If they don’t want it they can delete it lol

The release is now getting some press on news.com.au. The board won’t let me post links but the headline is: “Rugby league game a laughing stock like NRL fans all expected”

The last line sums it up perfectly: “At least now we’ve all been warned”

I wish they had been clearer about the game being based on RLL4 and also what to expect post release (not ProTeam focused)

Using the Storm Im starting to get use to the controls again, Im using the set plays a bit now & trying to play like RL instead of throwing it around.
Munster & Hughes are good halves to use, they can put guys into gaps
Also looking the kicking mechanics.
Just put up a crossfield bomb 20 out from the left to the posts, Papenhuyzen ran onto it & took it under the sticks for a try :grinning_face:

Since pro league is down i thought i would play some NRL COMP. Crashes everytime i try to change players positions before starting the match. If i don’t edit positions it’s works. Tested 3 times and 3 times it crashed lol. I’m starting to hate myself for buying and wanting to keep playing this game. Also crashes when I try to check if pro league is working (at least 6+ seperate game crashes when doing this).

Someone needs to have a look at these player ratings and importantly their attributes, how does Tyrell Sloan have 79 sprint speed when Tom Gilbert has 89, this being just 1 example. Need someone like the former Rugby League Realm to go through these all properly or even a team of people to look over these properly. Seems like they just have generic attributes based on rating so everyone feels the same no matter what position they play.

Another Issue (ONLINE LEADERBOARD) - Played 7 online games (apparently who knows), what I do know is I’ve won more than 1 game and the leaderboard is saying I have 1 win and 6 losses. I won two online games today with 1 of the players rage quitting. Yesterday my only win was a rage quit by the opposition. This game is cooked lol - E.g. I can out run Dylan Edwards with Tommy Turbo but apparently Isaah Yeo is faster than both - GAME IS A JOKE RN

Hi Team,

Some clarification on NSW Cup would be good ?

I am confused if this will be added in the future ?

It would also help to get this clarification because if there is no NSW Cup, I think I would spend time to create a handful of NSW cup players for a number of NRL teams that need more depth in some positions. But I don’t want to waste my time if the NSW Cup is getting added in the near future ?

Please confirm ?

Everyone keeps asking this. Who knows at this point. So much more to fix before adding content.

pretty sure when the opponent rage quits you don’t get the win, there’s 0 point having a leaderboard or caring about your w/l in this system

All the rating seems like just default in what the player is like there is very little difference between same position same rating players. For example a guy like nanai should have high high ball catching but crap tackling but its just the same as other 85 rated backrowers

Other issues I’ve run into

1 - the change defender with stick (by holding R1 then angling your right joystick left or right to a defender) is bugged, alongside the L1 + R1 to change to fullback. It shows that your changed, but once you left go of either button it switches back to the closest defender to the ball.

2 - The passes using your buttons (like A,X,B,Y or X,Square, Triangle & Circle) sometimes goes to the wrong person. I’ve had instances where I’d try pass to the closest player but then it gets passed back to the fullback?

3 - Kick on the full(s) don’t go back to where it was kicked. Instead they just take it up on halfway instead. The punting in general is confusing especially since the circle it’s showing where it’s going to land but not how much power we’re putting into it, leading to it going out on the full or even poor short kicks. The contesting for bombs aren’t bad, but there’s no meter at all for grubber/drop goals.

4 - Scrum animation is abit too long.

5 - The defending team don’t get back inside once contact is being made, they stand around until the player hits the ground. Once an offload is made and they make a break, it’s pretty hard catching the player since everyone else is still standing a few metres in front of where the initial tackle was made and also a few metres where they’re meant to be, making them offside.

this has been the case for almost 24hrs

Hi, anyone know how to make a new league like in rll4? I’ve made a club but dont know how to add it to a league for career mode.

You can not currently do that

Definitely. I can understand that they can’t make every player distinct in their abilities from each other, but you’d think that they’d have a list of players who are absolute stand outs in certain ways.

EA did this with Rugby and there were players in many teams that had absolute standout abilities in certain areas. These “Star” players really were amazing, whether it was in being able to kick the ball further, substantially more agile and better at side-stepping or able to fend through 2-3 players when their stamina was up.

Though it’s very hard to do this with entire teams. In Fifa for example, there doesn’t seem to be that much ability difference between a 91 rated player and an 81 rated player in most instances. So having a few really amazing players in certain areas would be beneficial. At the moment no-one is special because everyone is.

The teams all feel pretty uniform outside of the varying speed of some players and even then that’s not always that noticeable.

Currently I don’t feel that attributes really mean as much as they should.

Bugger, has big ant not added the feature? Same as creating logos, I can only put them on my club, not the jersey. The game seems so rushed?

Legitimately the worst release to a game I’ve experienced. There is nothing even remotely new or exciting here. They’ve taken an 8 year old game and only added a long list of game breaking and annoyingly obvious problems that are so far outside of Rugby League.
The annoying thing is the jumps in gameplay and quality from their previous league games were actually decent, though. I think back to the progression from RLL1 to RLL2 to 3 to 4; they were all different games that improved for the most part on the former.
This needs fixing asap.

Found game breaking bug - also happens on Rugby 25. Turn off WiFi, try to play game and won’t let you, even single player.
Was hoping to play on Steam Deck while traveling, but for some strange reason doesn’t let you play single player without wifi. Requested refund. Surely this is a glitch?! Why do this?
