Rugby League 26 - Megathread

It’s a complete mess.
Got no idea what the game wants me to do defensively at the ruck?

If I control the onside/square marker with the second marker offside, my controlled onside marker will just run out of the way sideways in a big loop, even though I’m doing absolutely nothing on the Left Stick.

If I control a player in the defensive line with offside marker(s) the AI dummy half completely wigs out and will throw a forward pass or turn over the ball.

So many serious problems

That offside call at 0:24 kills me :joy:
I don’t know what’s happened in the past 2 weeks, but in my opinion, there have been some game breaking changes which I can’t work with. I’ve put the game down for the time being. More the sake of my sanity than anything else!

About 10 minutes ago I bid on a player card that I already have and as usual it told me that I can either add the contracts to the one I already have or I can sell for Ptc or Fp, I won the auction and in the notifications it sayed I won it and it was added to my player inventory, guess what it’s not there and the ptc I spent on bidding on it have not been returned nor have the contract been added to my other player I would like big ant to do something about this as I spent over 13,000 ptc on it

I can get into the game as normal but I’m not sure what they have done if anything at all?

Certainly haven’t addressed this stupid bug where it’s a forward pass straight from the kick off. So hats off to you for that one??

Lazy as f when it comes to updating of squads, stadiums, balls etc. The BetFred Championship are still using an NRL ball? Every team who hasn’t got a stadium are playing at the MKM stadium?

No advertising for UK leagues, apart from Super League. Even then there are still no field markings.

If it’s a licensing issue then that should have been sorted prior to game release. No excuse with that one.

I think I’m going to do what I’ve done with Rugby 25. I’ll uninstall it and come back to it in a few months time, maybe Christmas :christmas_tree: and check to see if either game is in a more playable state and have the correct licensing, squads, stadiums, balls etc.

For now I’ll just follow the forums and keep an eye out for any patches released.

Cheers and take care all :+1:

Sad the current state of the game.

Right on the eve of finals footy.

Thought the game was playing really decent a few weeks ago and was heading in such a good direction.

Last bunch of updates have turned it into a real mess.

Game has lost all of its fun.

Please fix it fast!

I think the change to the chip kick is good, it’s probably functioning as it should be in a balanced game. Props aren’t fast enough to regather on the full, a fullback or winger on the opposition has a higher chance to catch it unless you are positioned right and time your kick to get there first and you can time it right to drive into the in goal.

Regular bombs on the other hand are driving me crazy, ai opposition is stepping and fending immediately and making ground and eventually I get a tackle and then they’re driving an extra 5m so 1/10 times I get a kick to land in the 10 and I have defenders there the best I can hope for is tackle 1 ending on the 20m line.

At this rate I’m sending 37 textas after every match

In career mode every opposing teams prop forward plays with the 7 on their back and plays as the halfback for the team including goalkicking :laughing:

Side Far Classic View - Veteran Difficulty
I have found a method that typically ends in line break and try;

  1. From your end do 3-4 hit ups but stay in roughly middle of the ground but slightly more to top of screen and make it so last hit up ends around 40m line. Selcet play on far right then pass to playmaker then execute 40/20.
  2. Now work 1 or 2 plays to right side upright (closest to top of screen) and be around 10m out from line to play the ball. Quickly press middle play option (up up) until the play is selected that Odd1x likes to play. Pass directly to half back, move to line (do not use sprint) then pass to next player outside after the reverse line player (decoy) runs passed then quickly pass on to centre then hit sprint for a short burst and dive in for the try…

I hit this play sequence continuously with tries galore to the point its almost an exploit of the game…good luck!

We need the captains challenge in this game because the amount of tries I’ve seen given because of obstruction and from knock ons from the attacking team

Hey, noticing an alarming amount of players missing from lineups. For the dragons including Lawson, Glover, Tsougranis e.g. were they removed from the game permanently or is there a bug in my game?

Game is currently broken for afternoon games, the lighting has glitched out and turned all green for some reason? No idea what the hell is going on. Was working totally fine yesterday.

What was in the update today?..PS5

Don’t get your hopes up @Radman. Dummy half logic isn’t improved, I still see the AI carry the ball out when catching close to the sideline and the double tap thing on both sides of the ball don’t seem to work.

No one else is bothered by the weak grubbers? Big Ant please add more distance capability to grubbers kicks. Why is it so hard to do this? Particularly by skilled players. Even Rugby 25 has much better grubber kicks.

Could anyone explain the quick play the ball system? Is there any negatives or should we just be double tapping L2 at every single tackle? Is the hold down a counter or should we be tapping L2 in defence as well? Bit confused by how it is supposed to work

In my opinion it just doesn’t work. I tried it in multiple different situations. Hold down X/A and double tap L2/LB, not holding down X/A and double tapping L2. The system doesn’t work. Frankly your defensive line should retreat and markers stand square for 99% of defensive play, like what happens every weekend in SL and NRL games. Fed up of the constant battle with this game at times; takes all the fun out of playing!
