Maybe alternatively introduce an ability to bring defenders into the tackle (say using triangle/Y button repeated pressing) that are at prescribed distance to the wrestle. Then depending on strength/attribute of attacker and average combined attributes of defenders determines probability of held up or try. Then incorporate a new animation for each areas along the try line ie; corner try attempts player can be put into touch/held up.

Iād rather be able to control my defensive line better and set defenders closer together before the hitup and say if I donāt compress and move forward or donāt compress and get the timing right for the hit then the attacking player should have the advantage and gain metres in the tackle or drive over the line. The driving tackles should all be able to be defended in some way and if they all are I would love to know how.

Anyone know if theres a way for PS5 players to play with ps4 players, can send and recieve invites but canāt join as me and my mates are playing on different editions of the game. Many games (Fifa, 2k) give you the option to download the old gen version of the game for free after purchasing the current gen version, but this doesnt seem to be the case for RL26. I also bought on disc if this is a factor, cheers
Hey AK, good to see you on the forums too mate!
Totally agree, players are rated insanely compared to real life abilities. The new changes in the last patch have made some even worse, with a bunch of just ādecentā players now in the 90ās!
Surely it shouldnāt be too hard for Big Ant to take the current ratings and make some global adjustments. Whether that bringing down Props Speed by 25 on average, 2nd Rowers Speed down by 20, both their agility levels down by 20, or whatever, but it needs to happen.
Relative speeds are the biggest issue, but as you say there are issues across the board with various skill categories.
Personally Iād love it if they gave us a global changer for skills, particularly for use in off-line play. Changing player by player would be incredibly tedious, Iām sure thatās something Big Ant need to work on themselves, but yes it needs to happen.
Also, great points on the one on one strip! (Iāve been testing buttons in case itās still there somewhere 
) Put it on triangle Big Ant!
Foresight mode seems to have disappeared.
The hold up button, wasnāt aware of that (or donāt remember - itās been a long time since Iāve played League games), but it sounds like itās urgently needed for the driving animation near the line!

Anyone playing on Xbox have issues when kicking field goals? When I try it goes 5 metres and not even over the crossbarā¦ā¦
Can anyone please tell me:
-Will we ever be able to add and remove players from teams?
-Is everyone having the same issue where edited players revert back straight away?
Thank you

Why can field markings such as this be in the trailer and assumingly approved but yet not be in the game at this point? Gameplay and mechanics is top priority but visuals have there place tooā¦

Holy crap, the challenges/objectives are quite decent. mix of easy and challenging in terms of grindy.

Yeah I tend to agree I just wish you could counter them all. But as in real life power and strength often wins out in a try scoring situation.
Some you can counter and Iām still trying drags more.
But yeah I like them in the game as it adds realism its just annoying sometimes lol.

Interestingly debatable mate. I agree broadly, but there needs to be a defined method of attempting resistance. Some button that if you time it right or are quick enough to that you can have a higher chance of stopping it. I definitely donāt want drives removed, but perhaps have them contestable somehow, more so than they are now at least.

It would be nice to have more tackle options, not just random animation.
Low legs, chop the player down but open to offload or reach out to score
Torso grab, holds the player up ball and all tackle and stops the flop trys
The speed of the entire gameplay is also too quick, slow it down a little bit, not alot, like 5%. Give the player more time to make decisions on the fly, because essentially this is just an animation mini game at the moment whilst our support runners are ineffective and slow

Feels like they buffed the footy points after games which is great. Just got 6k after a game I lost 10-6

Right now I think the biggest challenge is the lack of support options once you make a break. The game is strongest when you are able to find a gap or you get an amazing pass putting the player into space. Once that happens though you are in no mans land. Wingers donāt react and its likely all of your pass options will be Opposition players running to tackle you versus your own team. Its super frustrating and its something I know at one point was fixed in R25. Too many breaks happen up the middle. Wingers are relegated to simply kick chasers and takers.

Yeah you want support runners running at speed through gaps in the line to take the quick pass from the break. There needs to be maybe more forward movement momentum from the defense before a turn and chase as a gap is hit to separate the ball runner and defense to give the ball runner and support more space to ball play rather than stopping immediately and spoiling the play.

anyone having issues with the latest objectives where theyāre aināt completing after doing what the objective was?
100% this!
Have mentioned a few times the completely instantaneous turning around of the AI defensive line once you make a break. They lose all that forward momentum instantaneously and are chasing right away.
Meanwhile your own team are nowhere near in support.
If done right and player speeds are done correctly as Valhalla has said then you will sometimes have forward breaks through the midfield and have wingers and fullbacks chasing them down, while they search for a support pass, which is much more realistic.

Ah at this stage im going to give it a break, itās getting to the frustrating experience now where great things you pull off for a line break are never rewarded and the game resembles an U-8s pile on. If they fix this it will be golden but until then its just frustrating.

I am, tried numerous combinations but nothing.
Played a few games in the super league and as a Hull F.C fan it annoys me that pre game when the teams run out the commentators call the MKM stadium, Craven Park (Which is Hull KR ground) Please fix this!
Does your game crash while playing pro teams online? Mine does usually when someone scores first try.
