I am trying pro team but can’t advance because my anchor players are labelled as duplicates. How do you fix this?.

Is there a way to slow down gameplay, its way to quick, gameplay is closer to an arcade game then a sports sim

How are you finding it Radman?

85

Does anyone know the progress of the microsoft update you can play it offline but its not the same

86

i have some concerns with proteam i’d like to hear thoughts on.

  1. Can’t place duplicates on the AH? i know i could get way more in return listing a 86 ovr on the AH instead of 25 contracts or a measley 1000 FP
  2. Players Availability day 1, almost every other sports game with a “PRO TEAM” mode has atleast 1 base card of each current player out day 1 even if its a lower rated version, why stop people from chasing their favourite players immediately
  3. PTC being used on the auction house when it can be purchased via microtransactions? should you not be able to use the FP you earn in-game instead of having a barrier of spending IRL money, i feel purchasable currency should only be able to be used on packs or cosmetics.
    thanks all! :blush:

Packed an emerald Junior Paulo and an error happened which didn’t allow me to select any players, booted me back and spent the points and no players

Online seems to be bugged, keep getting a “internal error” popup.

The version i have on ps5 feels like its in embryo stage coming into infancy, i see why its called rugby league 26, real version should be going by round 1 2026.

Also is there an English Commentator?

94

Same issue , also tried everything

95

Can you please explain how the pro team cards work, I’ve played a heap of fifa but heard people got a low rated version of players, eg a bronze or silver cotter, are the blue cards out yet like the 93 Cleary or can they not be packed yet. And are there better than silver packs so far or not?

96

Yeah this is definitely needed. It’s a pain whens searching through off contract players.

How many people can’t play because you got a dupe on pro team now that dupe disappeared you can’t even continue building your team because you don’t have enough players , deleted the game and all the save data still doesn’t work

98

Anyone else have a problem with the coach battles only showing 3 categories and a share your team option on pc. My mates on playstation have 6 options which include vsing other player teams? is this a bug?

99

So I have played this game for a few hrs now. Here are my observations:

Pros:

  • Presentation is good.
  • Player likenesses, stadia and atmosphere is good.
  • Commentary is actually okay (when it works? I find it cuts out often.)
  • I think I saw one new animation when scoring a try? But can’t be sure.
  • Passing is a ‘tiny’ bit crisper but still have the odd floating pass.
  • Intercepts have been nerfed thankfully.

Cons:

  • 8 yrs and its the same game which has ironed out some bugs. No new in-game animations in tackling, passing or punt kicking or goal kicking? Honestly not even one new standard tackle animation. It is the same game with fewer bugs. How is this acceptable?
  • The ball rotates forwards from punt kicks (honestly, just used AFL 26 ball physics for kicking?
  • Same dodgy kick off animations
  • There is no real fluidity and attack is far too flat and not deep enough.
  • No new set play options.
  • Can still score from dummy half 1m out of the line on most occasions.
  • Ball physics not up to scratch, again, use AFL 26 and incorporate?
  • Player stats all over the shop. Isaah Yeo has 90 sprint speed?
  • In career mode, you can’t instantly view contract expiry for your players?
  • The in-game interchange ‘quick sub’ screen is far too small. At half time you can’t enter team management.
  • Ross claimed hundreds of new animations…where are they?
  • Goal kicking is too easy.
  • Not enough time for punt kicks.
  • Playmaker still standing in the wrong spot on 3rd-4th tackle when running a play down the side since 2017.

Overall, I will play it, but it is only because of the love I have for the sport. But guys, lets be real, what is doing with copy + pasting the entire gameplay and spicing it up with cosmetic changes and a new game mode? It is extremely safe and disappointing. How much can this game actually change over time with patches and are new animations/tactics a possibility with these patches? I refuse to believe this game, from a gameplay perspective, required 2-3 yrs development and secrecy with marketing. No doubt, if this game had any changes from a gameplay perspective, it would have been plastered all over socials with positivity. 100% you guys knew you were going to cop backlash if you released this footage weeks ago because quite simply, who would have bought the game in this state? This will more than likely fall on deaf ears but I would love nothing more than to have a chat with the people involved with gameplay development to understand how and why this is the choice that was made.
