And unfortunately absolutely no original ideas with this entry as well.
Something like a momentum metre that boosts your stamina after a line break could have worked well.

when youāre creating a jersey shorts socks etc. you canāt see the socks without exiting back to the full view. It doesnāt pan down to the socks when youāre editing them.
There needs to be more tutorials on how to do stuff for people who havenāt played the last RL game.

Is there a single positive change to the gameplay over RLL4? Is there anything that is new or different in terms of the gameplay, outside of the one new try scoring animation? Struggling to find anything.
Graphics have obviously āchangedā but I really donāt think they have improved the game much for the better. The colour palette in RLL4 was so much better and more vibrant imo. Thereās massive frame rate drops with rain in RL26 Iām finding on ps5 too.
In reply to Radman regarding the sidestep/Right Joystick, I posted about this earlier in the thread a while back (day before release) with how OP the right joystick is and was with RLL4. Itās the exact same case with RL26; a pretty successful lottery for the attacker thatās in the gamesā code that rips the controller out of your hands. The only way I was able to counter this or tone it down to a reasonable extent was to lower each players individual sidestep and fend stats to 74 and lower, reducing their occurrences.
The problem here is this really highlights the gamesā overall poor mechanics and poor passing mechanics.
Thereās no sense of creating overlaps or taking advantage of short defensive numbers or building good team momentum with line breaks and catching the opposition offside at the 10 metre line. The game also fails miserably at the try line. So many attacking players just become bystander passengers in this game. To be āsuccessfulā with the ball takes virtually zero player skill and just sticking to the very limited ātracksā the game runs on.
Thereās no sense of expression or excitement or being able to play good heads up draw-and-pass footy. Thereās a plethora of new bugs that didnāt exist in the previous game, plus the old bugs that are still there all these years later - AI fullback still running the ball over the sideline after a punt kick, players still getting tackled without the ball resulting in a turnover with no penalty etc.
After seeing the extensive slider set and the good amount of kicking options available in AFL26 I thought we would have these improvements & flexibilities in RL26. Thereās some really good inclusions in AFL26 like low trajectory punt kick, outside of the foot banana kick, longer grubbers that can travel up to 40 metres, higher softer floating kick, manual kicking for deft touches, torpedo kicks, sliders for tackling range and success, sliders for ball spillages, ref/umpire strictness sliders, kick strength sliders, pass strength sliders, run speed sliders plus more. Why would they not bring them over into this ānewā game?
It really is a terribly poor release thatās seen zero improvements. Get working Big Ant. Please.

Are you sprinting (R2/RT)? This will increase high tackles. I try to never sprint in defence unless thereās a line break.
Actually that could be it 
you spelt titans wrong
After 8 years I thought surely some things would improve. But wow just wow this game is a absolute disgrace, how you can actually charge people for the state this game is in its just wrong, development team need to have a good hard look at them selves, Disgusting

Penalty kick for touch, kick in general play, knock on or forward pass, play is always then restarted at halfway, major flaw.
No international teams
Players listed in wrong positions
Only home and away jerseys
So far not impressed at all. RLL4 is still way ahead. It almost seems as this game was extremely rushed and has missed the mark on things that would make it a lot better.

I thought after 8 years there would be some improvement. But wow this game is an absolute disgrace, In every aspect of it, I can not stress how disappointing it is.
How you can actually charge people for this game is criminal. Fix it and fix it now what a disgrace, Developers should be ashamed of themselves.
You would have been better off just updating the rosters of all teams on rugby league 4 rather than putting this garbage out. I actually can not believe how bad it is. WOW

Just want add some constructive feedback to the Rugby League 26 that developers should include in the game. We hope you take this onboard.
- Remove the cheesy commentary āsausageā āmassageā eg. Voss and Cameron Smith are terrible they do not sound enthusiastic at all would have been better to get Dan Ginanne or Warren Smith.
- The close try where the attacking player falls over the line needs to be turfed. This should be held up where the defender would normally hold the player up over the line.
- The crowd are not dynamic enough the crowd should display more atmosphere, chants, flags etc
- Jarome Laui from the Wests Tigers has long hair not short hair. Please improve current likeness with players please update them
- Include big hit replays
- Include smooth passing, dummy half lags to play the ball.
- attacking and defensive structures need including. Ie sliding defense or up and under
- Better kicking options functions maybe put the game in slow motion to kick then it speeds up once you aim and kick.
- most importantly the player ratings and abilities are not accurate please fix a front rower can not catch a winger when a break occurs.
- the menus fonts are too small, colour scheme is boring, menus need improvement.
- How bout when you load into the game some actual footage of rugby league put some soul into the game ie big hits
- Coach cut scenes would be nice too
I am sure I have more feedback but work on these and add them to the game!!

So im in ps5 cant get into pro and it freezez have to turn off and restart the game get smashed by every ppayer in online games and by ai on just amature rookie is too easy, my player ran out near opposition try line why is there a play the ball on the 50 meter line , i was playing as bulldogs vs st steorge went to make a substitue would only come up with the st george team and not bulldogs,
Way too many glitches knock ons forward passes
Put 2 player on transfer on career mode got offers for them cant see the offers, no detailed stats for season for players teams etcā¦
How the hell can you play with 2 players or more on one side ? I paid 122.95 on playstation store i love the old game when u kick it went slow motion ā¦ cant seem to find tutorial on just down town kick seem like doesnt exist only bomb grubber feild goal
Ref keeps xalling random penalties but not awarding very distracting when u trying to play you stop and go oh and then nothings done xant complete certain turorials cae its too hard to do or isnt explained correctly ā¦ like w.t.f
āSnippy passā that needs to go from commentary 
Like what the hell its so annoying.
The general kicking game I like, putting up bombs are fun.
If u can get them away cant just do a ling kick either
just seen on the Raiders Insta reels, they ask Trey Mooney about being listed as a FB in the game haha
Played some games of one on one local multiplayer tonight. PS5, Side Balanced - Classic. So many boring 6-0 games!!! We put it on Rookie down from Amateur and it was still too hard to score because itās almost like a team up of the human defender and the AIās defence, so hard to score!!!
Far too easy for people to run along the line from Dummy Half on defence and make a tackle, that position is too fast.
If you do make a break, itās fine that you beat the opposition, but youāre generally not going anywhere, because the two guys beside the guy you beat are on you in 0.2s. In real life the two lines are moving towards each other and the defence can get caught flat-footed because of it. The donāt just do a 180 at full speed and instantly catch the player making a break.
Side-steps are the only thing you can hope to work in local multiplayer. Fends and Hit-Ups are largely ineffectual and also suffer from the instantly wheeling nearby defenders stopping you.
Offloads of any quality are too hard to do and most times they squeeze out a limp offload that almost hits the ground and then the receiver catches with zero momentum, making for an easy target.
The game is mostly a boring defence-fest for local multiplayer users, please can this be also considered for future patches???

Anyone else having trouble accessing Pro Team on PS5? Installed the latest update and mine still says under maintenanceā¦
Been like this for days
Can we get the PS5 controller button layout for steam/PC players?
PS5 has sold twice as many consoles than Xbox so Iām sure most PC players would have a PS5 controller.
anyone know how long till pro team is back
No one knows mate. Not even Big Ant.
