Rugby League 26 - Megathread

Have u got a fix yet as I haven’t

Hey guys, I am having a tonne of trouble playing coach battles in proteam.

One game, after half time the opposition just came out and played the ball and the game clock was stuck at 40:00, I tried to play it out incase it was just a visual bug, didn’t seem to be. Ended up having to just quit and take the loss.

Another I won 12-6 but on the post match screen it had ‘You Lost’ but with the correct 12-6 score.

I have also had others just exit back to the main menu after the game finishes, and the results are not being counted.

Playing on Ps5 for reference.

Gameplay is really fun otherwise!

How do you fix the duplicate player bug in pro team I can’t start it because my 2 anchor players are labelled as duplicates.

alright shot for the info

Imagine having months of build up, 8 years to produce something that’s not a pile of sh*t and then taking peoples $100 for it to not even be playable on Xbox because you were too tied up to even have a product updated at launch

Career mode controlling only my player that glitch for when you call for the ball and they won’t pass it to your player is still affecting my Rugby league gaming experience graphics are top notch gameplay is still a little to stiff captain’s challenge needs to be added more real player animations etc.

Pro Team is completely broken on my console now.

When playing the coach career mode during the first season there is multiple big names that are in the recruitment section available to be signed players like selwyn cobbo, Reece Robson. After that (the second season and beyond) there is little to no big names to be signed, and each team has roughly 1-2 free agentsj, except for your own club which has plenty available to be signed. I get that the coach career mode is to develop the youngsters and players at your own club, but I still feel like we should be able to sign more players that are available, it feels pretty unrealistic that every club retains all of their players that are off contract. On top of that in the 3 different saves I’ve done all of the players that are free agents each year are the same, I would like to see the players being cycled to reduce repetitiveness. Also the cap space seems highly unrealistic you get about 5 million each year, even with off contract players I still think money would be tighter than that.

Congratulations on the launch anyone having proplems with lighting at night games? Textures seem werid also my Sharks side have most of there postions out of place :joy: nico first five and trendell fly half and is the kicker also need to add when im kicking from side line the camera angle stays locked to side on not facing the post so cannot convert it properly.

Yeah there’s a few things I wanna see improved with career mode.

  1. You should be able to see what year a player (either from your team or another) comes off contract.
  2. The player salaries are all over the place. Some good players on like $110k - which is even less than the minimum salary in the NRL

@JNT_BA is there a way we should be reporting bugs? Like is a ticket best or should we have a topic made to point them out?

Just some notes I have taken from playing the game today. Not sure if this is the best place to put them.

Is there any wind in any of the games cause I haven’t seen any indicators to say there is when kicking?

Control vibration not working (ps5) Normally works fine.

A few of the players have number 1 on their backs.

At the end of the game if you watch highlights the screen and footage seems extremely dark.

Is there a way to have the halfback take the ball from the scrum or is it always the lock who takes it? Can this be a change?

The On the run interchange screen is extremely small. Need a microscope to see it.

Few players positions in squads are off players showing as a fullback for example but are clearly a front rower.

In career mode there seems to be unlimited interchanges for some reason?

And also in career mode I was playing a golden point game and when you score a try/kick a field goal instead of the game finishing it just goes back to the pause menu and then you have to continue the game till the time runs out?

Team runs out led by the fullback usually it should be your captain. (Something extremely minor)

And not being able to see a man of the match or stats in career mode is disappointing. As far as I can see no stats can be viewed.

Dummy half being extremely slow to the ball.

You get taken out of touch in your own 20 and the other team gets a play the ball at half way line.

Why aren’t international teams in the game?!

Anyone else have an issue with commentary after watching a replay?

During a game if I watch a replay of something the commentary shuts off for the rest of the half. Not including the replays that automatically get shown after a try.

I’m a bit of a nerd and was wondering why we can’t see any sort of stats in career mode like try’s, try assists, tackles, hit ups etc like we do with rugby league live 4?

Because they chose not to put it in the game. There’s no no excuses for this lol. It was in the previous iteration and it’s been completely removed.

I’ve played 3 games so far and have seen the following bugs:

  • Panthers vs Roosters: Tedesco (CPU) made a break near the goal line, ran into the in goal and grubbered the ball dead instead of grounding it
  • hooker is almost always out of position and needs to run over to the play the ball
  • I triggered a six again as I was offside and ran into the ball. I then picked up the ball and ran the length of the field to score a try (should have been a penalty)
  • You can’t adjust the starting line up in game. Like if I wanted to. Switch my lock and my second rower it won’t allow me to do it
  • players positions incorrect (i.e Luren Patea at the Panthers listed as a FB when he is a front rower)
  • When running out at Allianz stadium Vossy said “here we are at Commbank stadium”
  • Commentary stopped after looking at a replay then when I finished the game Vossy and Smith started talking about a try

I’ll keep posting them in hopes the game improves. Very buggy start unfortunately.

Not a bug but the overall player movement feels clunky and off.

I just played a game with the women’s teams and I found about 6-7 players were wearing #1 and couldn’t tell who i was selecting for cut out passes, as it said everyone was #1.
Also, when attempting to play pro team I get constant internal errors and can’t get past certain parts of the game.
The player graphics are pretty good but the shadow graphics are pretty dark, can barely see my players.
ps4.

I have like 500+ hours on RLL4 and outside of the Walsh dive and To’o celebration. I have not a seen a single new animation in this game. Ross straight up lying on twitter preaching HUNDREDS of new animations?

This honestly feels like an early access next gen built update for RLL4 but you know whats crazy? It’s actually WORSE than RLL4.

The ruck and dummy half is completely broken, set plays are carbon copies but like 4x slower than RLL4. Passing is floaty and clunky, you can’t swap players effectively. I can’t even list the amount of bugs I came across from playing for a few hours.

Player career is almost unplayable as it drops below 40 frames consistantly.

There’s no NSW cup. There’s no stats reviews like RLL4. They’ve actually removed features from within career and pro modes. The only work that’s gone into this game feels like the pro teams. Which I guess sure because they want money.

All this talk about the biggest budget, hundreds of new animations, best looking game Bigant ever made. It’s all hogswash. This game does not feel like an ounce of effort or love has gone into it all.

Just take one look at how creative and dynamic RLL4 menu’s are, especially in career modes. Last game was colourful and vibrant, and had stats and character. This game it’s just big black empty boxes.

They’ve swept up NRL, AFL and Cricket to just milk hopeful fans instead of making the effort to develop strong, loving games.

I have followed these games since Sidhe forums and this is honestly an embarassment.

Long time listener, first time caller.

The game is pretty much what was expected - RLL4.1 with new rosters, upgraded presentation and rules. Not a bad thing but a tough sell for $100.

That said, I have some interesting stuff to report - it clearly shares a lot of the engine with Rugby 25 including file formats, etc. There may even be some jerseys and leagues that are hiding in the files already…

The customisation options look very similar, but are a better UX overall, than R25 so hopefully some stuff gets back ported.

Waiting for the traditional gang of veterans to put their heads together and improve upon the game even further.
