Rugby League 26 - Megathread

Contracts shouldn’t be in the game but they’ll learn from that.

Kids just want to buy player cards and to play games. Contracts are just an annoying and expensive waste of time.

Yeah also hard to buy players when all currency goes to contracts

is anyone else having the problem where you’re attacking and your players run miles ahead before you play the ball? im just losing games because of this and have to run the ball from dummy half expecting a try. wasting contracts aswell

Just XP for now, They will have a heap more I guess once they have made sure they are all tracking. You’ll be able to get specific packs and player cards too eventually.

They’ll be pretty detailed like the AFL version below where in the example you need to field a entire North Melbourne squad to get the objective. So my tip is hold all your player cards

Online needs stability fixes as it’s very unstable right now.

But as I said how do you fix it when offline is laggy as well.

Yeah, I enjoyed doing objective-equivalence on FIFA. Hopefully they provide us with objectives that’s achievable without the need of doing anything too drastic gameplay wise.

You’ll be surprised when they’re up and running a lot of them will be for the grinders.

I’d expect to see some like have 50,000 line break meters etc.

The weekly’s will be pretty simple tasks though :+1:

I Have the game I’m on pro team but don’t have a full team I’ve chosen my 2 players and still missing one and won’t let me exit to even buy a player help me it’s been like this since it’s fixed I just want to play that game yous are restricting me even more.

Does the servers ever work on this game all you get is internal server error the whole time

Playing on PS5 this afternoon, the latest patch seems to be a step in the right direction:

Pros:

  • The hooker is following the play a lot better. Play the ball could still be quicker, but this is an improvement.
  • Having stuffed up another 40/20 attempt, and kicking it out on the full, the opponent got the ball in the right position, which is good.

Less ideal:

  • Had the AI take a clean catch and run into touch (it was very close to the side line) and another case run the ball dead. Could be one offs though.

Edit: Hopefully some game stats will be added in the coming weeks.

Yeah, same for me. I’m not sure why they did that. Every other game and NSW & QLD Cup. Hopefully they’ll fix it soon

Does anyone know how to invite friends that are on a different console?

Hi, if new jerseys are introduced such as Indigenous, women in league or Heritage is patched in in the future, would we have to restart our career modes to have them in career mode?

How could stat’s ( tackles, running meters, tries etc) not be part of the career mode. Its bad enough that the halfback wears the number 6 but i can look past that but no live stats in a career mode, thats a huge miss and is standard in a spots title…

Settling a brother sister debate as a family friend.
Haven’t bought the game yet but who is higher rated? As there is no spreadsheet open for all to see.

Lee Kershaw (Hull KR) think I’ve seen a 75 rating.

Or

Emma Kershaw (York Valkyries) women’s team

Ok I’ve just been playing some more rugby league 26, post the two patches that have arrived over the last 24 hours.

From a gameplay perspective it does seem that the hooker is arriving significantly quicker to rucks and that’s a good thing.

Although I have been playing a season of NRL and up until those two patches I was gradually getting to grips with the game on amateur and I was starting to post scores of 18-6 and 20-4, up from winning some and losing some about 6-0 originally.

Since those two patches it has seemed harder to score again, add my scores have dropped down again. The AI seems tougher and seems to score tries, that are putting the ball everywhere rapidly and almost impossible to stop for me.

AI players which I had noted were getting in the road of offloads immediately after release of the game, did seem to have been patched to not be in the intercept line of where you intend to offload. Now they seem to be back and doing that again.

It’s my number one annoyance, opposition players hovering around my side of the tackle waiting for an offload and preventing any possibility, or else it’s an intercept.

There still seems to be a problem with when you make a break that your support is often 10-15m behind you and that the opposition seems to be able to instantly do a 180 and sprint up on you almost straight away.

When you have someone break the defensive line in a real game of rugby league, that defensive line has to turn around and run fast in the opposite direction (which nowadays they are good at), but it is impossible for them to turn and chase as fast as they sometimes do in this game.

Since the patches I have noticed it is a lot easier to give away high tackles, now even if you don’t sprint at all you can still get done for a high tackle.

Also I’m not massively hung up on stats, but seriously this game has nothing. Nothing at all. We need to be told that this is being worked on. The game seriously lacks depth without them.

It also needs international teams sooner rather than later.

I’m not as much a rugby league fan as I am a rugby union fan, but I generally like this game a lot. It makes what has been released as rugby 25 look like a total joke and if I’m totally honest an insult really.

Rugby league 26 is in a vastly superior state to rugby 25 and I really hope it continues to improve.

Any else getting the “The primary user has been signed out. You have been returned to the title screen” again or just me? Xbox Series X btw.

Just saw there is a new update any ideas

I know this is a small gripe but still annoying- correct field logos. Playing a state of origin competition match, there are no field markings at all, let alone ones for origin. The field markings and sponsorships on the sidelines do not match what we saw in the promo video for the game. Again small issue compared to the main issues with the game but the realism does matter for it to feel authentic. I do hope they fix this soon

Further to what you have typed. Apart from the NRL and Super League it seems advertising around the grounds for other competitions is a little bare bones?

For instance the Challenge Cup has logos on the post protectors and on the shirt sleeve of the clubs only? It would be nice to see logos added to the ad boards etc.

Just an observation I’ve also noticed that you have Toulouse Olympique and Featherstone Rovers’s home ground set as the MKM Stadium?

There are also a few other teams like this. Is this because of licensing issues? If so will you be obtaining the licenses for these teams stadiums and implementing them into a future patch?

Many thanks :+1:
