It’s one of the biggest problems, not sure if they can change this but it really does need changing.
The defense should only ball track on kicks and outside of that it should only be man with ball in hand. At the moment the defense reacts on a dime to a pass which creates that swarming affect, often the defense beats the ball to the catcher. It shouldn’t be this way and creates such frustration.

Totally agree mate. This is such an issue when attacking with the ball. This change would really open up the game!
The sliders which have been mentioned by BigAnt will be a game changer too! The constant big hits from the AI kill me!

Its mad that the option is sliders, just make the game better. There is no one who will use the sliders to keep the game where it is.
React button presses, feels like passing is laboured, running ia laboured, offloads never happen, side steps never happen, its hard to even go forward in a tackle.
Dont know about anyone else but getting smashed unable to use the skills is not my idea of fun. Hitting well timed tackles reading the attack or spotting gaps or over laps to create opportunities is the fun bit. Feeling like your players are useless and way worse than the oppo is awful

Anyone lodged a ticket about create a club not letting you used licensed jerseys? I’ve tried but haven’t got a reply from them. Need it to update my squads with new transfers but instead I have to create my own custom jersey with their rubbish tool

I haven’t but I will as I’ve made some great custom jerseys to use in my career mode.
I also want the option to add player names to jerseys. Looks really blank on the shirt especially for super league

It’s autopilot on crack that has too much control
I wish we had the option to turn it off.
I’ve already posted my ideas about what could be using L2 and left stick but maybe the easy option is allow assisted advance and retreat and let us do the side to side and compress with the Dpad as well as the tackling. Would give us way more control and allow us to make our own mistakes on side choice and open one side or the other for overlaps and bigger holes in the line as well as tackle timing determining whether you drive forward or get driven back.
More gameplay control options would be very welcome to allow us to have our own style of play and just generally create more realistic depth to defensive movement and gameplay.

Yeah have known for a while.
AFL 26 sliders are quite good so here’s hoping we get as good or better.

I agree they need to let us use licensed jerseys when creating teams.
Dial back pro difficulty to few patched ago. Offensive creativity by the User has been lost. Increase the AI difficulty by making them offensively smarter and varied play, not so predictable. Why was the AI smarter in Rugby League 4. Can’t you use the same scripts? Really wierd. I few patched ago playing on offense was fun on Pro. Just needed to ramp up the AI on offense, and have them plug more holes defense, Not just limit us to one skill move per phase on Pro. It seem like it is on rails, when the game first came out it felt more free and more anything can happen while playing feel. Why? There is a good game in there, they just have to tune it better or add sliders so we can tune it better.

Yep the difficulty has been an issue for about a month now. Scale back to amateur and it’s way too easy, move up to pro and you can’t crack the defence at all. Lots of games ending 6-0 or 0-0 which is very uncommon in Rugby League.
This game came out in July, we should have these things sorted on release not months later.

I’ve been battling on pro for ages struggling for points and realistic tries but finally getting some joy! Ive totally re done every players stats and found the biggest help is to put centres and wingers tackling down in the 50-60 and fullbacks down to 50 so when that elusive break did happen they don’t stop me every time like a magnet, also nerfed every players drive tackle and big hit down to 70ish. Forwards defence down to max 80 but have made sure all players attack step fend speed is up so it’s all about attack.
I hope this might help someone else out, it’s a pretty huge effort I know, but can say it’s helped me finally start to enjoy this game.

Wow, that’s a full time job to do. Thank for the tip though, sliders would help. But really Big Ant should listen. I have never seen a game of there’s to go from fun to play with some improvements needed to not fun at all, feeling like it is on rails. Hopefully they will find the right combo again. Right now enjoying Rugby 25 more. Which was not the case a like 6 -8 patches ago.

A lot of this is because in my opinion the made the balances for online play. People complain about skill moves so they nerfed them. The offline games has become a slog and a mess because the online community like always wants to find exploits they can use to win. Most online players really don’t want to play like a real game of league, they just want to win. So they either complain that they are not winning because of x or y and then the reaction happens which destroys the single player experience.
There was a point when I did infact have some fun with this game, it wasn’t perfect but was playable. A week later it was a completely different game. I tried again for the first time in ages tonight and again it felt like a different game, I had no fun at all on pro. Every hole was cut off, my players speed meter evaporated so quick it was worthless.
I hope they give us sliders and leave them alone once we have set them. I want to set my game up and just be left alone. Please for the love of god don’t group different things under one slider. Individual sliders are a must or it will be completely worthless.

Hi is there a way to edit the rosters? I am trying to update for 2026 changes yet can’t remove any players from nrl teams?
This is becoming infuriating to play. Please bring back the fluidity so we can actually be creative like before… The fun has been removed almost completely and it’s disappointing

I’m assuming difficulty wasn’t fixed in Thursday’s update? Unplayable as it currently is.

I’ve only played one quick game this morning before work, but noticed that Finals mode had been added … which is great. But the field-painted logos for NRL/NRLW Finals / Grand Final remain generically regular season Telstra Premiership. At least in the one game I played there WAS field logos, as opposed to no logos at all, which was the case previously. At least in my experience.

I think captain challenges are broken, I got hit with a big hit dropped the ball they called knock on so I challenged it, it was successful then when I went to play the ball it randomly come up penalty so they got the ball back
