Am I missing something?
When I go to edit player, some players show in the Aussie kits, yet when I go to play “play now” or any other mode I can’t play as the kangaroos or kiwis?
Am I finally too old for video games, am I going insane or am I missing something?

Anyone played on steam deck yet &’what’s it like?
Also how true to a real league game is RL26? Do outside backs take hit ups to start the set or atleast get into position first few tackles & do forwards gradually come back slowly? - pondering all this b4 I by a console or handheld just to play this game lol
The gameplay is difficult to enjoy! It is missing so much variety and realism. It’s frustrating. AI is flawless and makes no mistakes whatsoever. No dodgy passes no intercepts. It’s able to do quick play the ball and catch you offside where the user has to wait til there onside it’s so one sided. My 40/20s are never hitting. I’ve tried to enjoy this but I’m clocking out man this game is an unpolished, unfinished cash grab that fans needed to play. Can’t wait for EA

I have kind of fallen into the trap of playing straight and spamming step right up the middle and just playing a territory game until I score.
The defensive line doesn’t compress early so easy metres.

Yep it’s all up the middle stuff there isn’t an incentive to spread the ball because creating a simple overlap doesn’t happen. Eventually wherever you are you will need to punch a hole or use the right stick to create something
I hope this can be fixed and coded in, just creating an overlap using the set plays sucking in defenders and going out the back and around the defense then draw and pass FB to an inside supporter.
Last night’s patch delivered black dots finally, so we are moving in the right direction, but some focus back on gameplay, support runners and tactics/setplays would be nice. Foresight mode where has that gone?

The game can be a whole lot better and I believe it will be a whole lot better gradually over time.
They are listening.
I’m just gonna be patient and share as many ideas as I can hit or miss to help them get there.
Mind you the way the game plays now works for some even players winning games cheese free top of the online ranks. So it’s kind of hard to throw game changing ideas out there that could potentially ruin the game for some so it’s a hard one but I’ll keep doing it because hopefully some ideas might build the framework for the next game if big changes aren’t in the mix this time.

Thing is a lot of the suggestions and problems around gameplay that everyone is highlighting are 13 years old now and been made before, maybe even longer, spanning back three or four games. The game has barely moved forward from the last iteration and seen zero significant upgrades in gameplay. If anything it has gone backwards in certain areas. The game ‘feels’ old and desperately needs changes and improvement to reach the next level. We did all of this 8 years ago..
Unleash the wingers/improve support play, update the kicking, add a sense of momentum catching the defence offside after a 50 metre line break. There is a great base to build off here but that also has been said many times before.

That’s the thing, there’s such a huge amount of room for improvement it’s both exciting and depressing lol.

This game is something else the amount of bugs & knock ons out of nowhere i just played a game and didn’t touch the ball for 1 half.

I think from a gameplay standpoint the most troubling issues right now are players you’d expect to be quick are only ever so slightly quicker than the forwards and backrowers, my wingers, fullbacks and centres still break the line and get chased down by prop forwards or backrowers.
Wingers and centres also very rarely follow up in the line with second rowers or halves so you might have an overlap but you get that pass off to the centre/winger and you go back 10-15 metres, this pretty much makes the outside backs useless aside from the fullback.
These are very basic issues that shouldn’t be occurring, the outside backs in real Rugby League never stand back 10-15 metres very slowing moving behind the play when their team are putting an attacking play on.

I don’t know if this has already been addressed but people rage quitting in matches online is so consistent. Like you get a one or two try lead and they just pack it in. I’ve had plenty of games where I’ve been pumped but still stayed in the match, tried to come back but copped the L. Do you guys think that something should be looked into regarding people who rage quit in online play? Maybe a temporary ban for a period of time from online play? I think this would discourage people from packing it in when it’s not going their way. It’s honestly so frustrating.

I literally stop short of the line and get tackled if I make a break when I’m already 6 in front.
Even then, sometimes you accidentally score, being tackled across the line, and then the other person disconnects.
It’s beyond frustrating.
Is there any news on if theyre gonna add the international teams?
I have had the issue multiple times where the other team will score 2 tries then my game will literally freeze up and I have to leave. Everyone would think I’m rage quitting lol

How can you change players positions and they stay like that. I know you can change them before starting a career but it will go back to generic positions when you open the game again

Hard agree, there’s so much that needs tweaking still
Why can’t I open the graphic options menu on the Steam Deck? It is so bizarre. You can’t select the graphic options or open it at all. It would be nice to be able edit the settings and get a nice 60fps.
