I hate to break it to you but either skill adjustments are not working anymore or speeds have been locked so they can’t be changed.
I maxed out every NRL team and forwards still walk for sprint on 99 sprint and accelaration.

I haven’t touched speeds left them as they were. I’m working on the defense side and error part of the game to get it closer to being realistic.
This is a game i played prior to playing around with the skills. It is definitely working for me. Check out the difference in tackles, missed tackles and errors.
Yet to see a real Rugby League game with around 80 sets have over 200 missed tackles and over 700 tackes being made. The closer to realistic the more fun.

Hoping I’m not going crazy but is there any way to upgrade your movement stats in career mode? Trying to play a rookie career mode from Q-Cup and I’m always out of stamina
I’m loving pro team, ripping packs and all that
Footy cards are part of being an NRL fan and it’s awesome ripping packs and creating your own side
I wish there was more options to play AI in pro team, like an NRL season or something that has long term goals, stats etc
The one off AI battles are fun, the ladder battles are fun
Playing online v other players it also fun but can bring the game into disrepute, so im always leaning into AI battles.
Also need all the NSW Cup jerseys and stadiums, retro heritage jerseys and retro players
There is so much upside to pro team pls give it all the love for us rugby league tragics

I’m a rugby and AFL fan, hardly consume any league and only watch it to see how ex 7s and rugby players do. I’m disappointed with r25, how pick up friendly and free flowing do people find rl26? I’m seriously contemplating buying it, passing for example looks so much better and less clunky. Most of this forum seems relatively negative, so would I be better off saving $100?
I’m finding myself at a crossroads with the game which is a shame because I really want to keep playing. I only play coach career as the Knights. I played 2 seasons on pro, made top 4 and won the comp both seasons. I was winning about 30-12 most games and would still lose a few games. Second season I got offered the NSW job and bumped those games up to veteran, it was tough but i managed to win the origin series. In my 3rd season, after another origin win on veteran, I started winning by 50-60 points so I figured it was time to finish the season on veteran. I finished 1st and won the comp, which I didn’t expect to do. After the season I got offered the Aussie job for 3 tests in England. I would start well, scoring atleast 2 tries in the 1st half, then the ai would seem to go beast mode. I couldn’t make any metres and could barely stop them scoring and lost all 3 games by 18-24 points. I moved on to my 4th season, and it’s more of the same, after around 20 mins in game time, the ai just goes nuts. I don’t want to play pro and score 50+ points a game but if the ai seems unbeatable I might just move on. I’m certain it’s a skill issue. 
Sorry for the long post, just felt like venting.

I swear the AI was doing more with the footy/were more unpredictable 5 or 6 updates ago?
So predictable which side of the ruck the AI will play now, feels identical to RLL4 how easy you can pick their next move off the ruck.
Early v1.2’s my halves were getting around the field actively, now they just park out on their edges and don’t come looking for the ball.
Does the AI ever pass the ball more than 2 or 3 times in a play? Could do with so much more passing on their end and less reliance on sidestepping.
Just played my first and probably only game for the night, using a depleted Melbourne Storm (38) vs a juiced up Canberra Raiders (6).
AI sloppiness ruled the game.
AI 7 forward passes from dummy half.
AI Kicker sacked with the ball on the last tackle 4 times in their attacking zone.
3 times on the last AI kicks into their own player.
6 times AI catches a marker not square and throws an intercept pass back into the marker.
Twice the AI hooker just freezes on the last tackle and doesn’t move.
Man, this game.

I feel silly asking but how do I perform a quick play the ball? My markers are consistently getting caught not square when playing against the CPU even when I hold them down. They dart from dummy half and markers jump on them
The new update has made the game even worse.
The team have asked for more info, cause they can’t pass on anything from that limited amount of information.
- The passing feels slower,
- Passing from dummy half has gone straight past my receiver
- Second Marker gets square but yellow offside marker doesn’t disappear when the AI gets a quick play the ball
- Play the ball sometimes doesn’t get picked up and player runs into the ball
- Forward pass off kickoff reception happens to AI more often on deep kickoffs
- Ball passed into player without attempt to catch the ball.
- Defensive line spacing when defending goal line off taps and scrums needs adjusting
- warping players into tackles is still there
- The forwards run with very little effort
- AI is more cheesy
- Running straight through the ruck from the play the ball is too easy for both player and AI espescially annoying when AI is close to line, try every time.
- Diving tackles are bouncing off away from attacking players like a forcefield is around them
Here is an example of forward pass off kickoff and poor defensive line spacing.

How ironic mate - I honestly just literally experienced the EXACT same like almost to the mm of where th passes were caught and tries scored etc .
Problem is it’s happening multiple times a game. If you can hit that spot its likely to happen.

Yep, there seems to be a few sweet spots that trigger the forward pass.
Maybe they need to make all players other than the catcher take a step or 2 back, or delay the pass until after the catcher has taken a step or 2 forward
- I took video on my phone, which is too old to download to use with a ticket… On Veteran difficulty, was tackled from behind about 5m out from left upright in opponent red zone using side cam far classic. Player played the ball and the hooker just stood there looking down at it, rest of my team ran past play the ball, camera panned back to half way then returned to play the ball area where opposition had dived on ball and gained possession.
- Finding dummy half late to play the ball consistently, and general feel of passing and player running and getting into structured play “feels” delayed or a bit off to what it was pre update.
- Player running speed (not using sprint) feels a tad too slow.
Game is still unplayable for me, either play on Rookie and make line breaks at will, or play on Amateur and it’s impossible to break the defensive line or score any points. It’s unfortunate that there are no sliders.

It’s similar for me, but with pro to veteran.
Think we all agree this is the worst sports game we’ve all played in the modern Era of gaming.
6 plahers stand around no joining a tackle allowing a player to fall forward and score, Dunmy scoots 5x a set, Brain dead AI (Why would the fullback stand behing the deadball like on last tackle and not move toward a grubber)
After the latest update everyones wearing random numbers starting at 0,
Packs are better when opened with PTC (Opened 2 with PTC got 2 sapphire elites opened 14 with FP and got a rotation of the same 5 emeralds EVERY TIME)
Such a sad Obvious cash grab from BigAnt before the RLPA give players the rights to their digital image, going to trade in tomorrow at EB for NBA2k another cashgrab game but atleast its playable
Overall just sad
