Oh man just had another jam after latest update.
I really appreciate all the hard work put into it all and the game actually does look amazing
the gameplay though is just all over the shop
not much actually reflects proper rugby league
the defensive animations are very limited therefore that one on one tackle walking the man backwards happens far too often from any which angle..that very rarely happens..just an examplle
offence well that is no good what so ever..if u actually watch rugby league none of those plays which this game has apart from the straight up one actually happen..they run around all over the shop changing plays every tackle..that doesnât happen
ive played, coached and reffed rugby and league all my life and could simplify all this for you no worries as set plays in rugby league are what we call shape therefore its all about formation..ive been jamming games since the 80s..ive played every rugby/league game there has ever been and also bought every one of big ants / tru blu rugby, league and cricket games since they first hit the shelves..lots of time and money spent so im so gutted every week to jump on after an update with high hopes but canât get thru a game..I personally donât care about the pro teams cards..they mean nothing to me..if anythingId rather unlock legend teams and players but ultimately it needs to feel like league
I find the cricket games from big ant to be most enjoyable. and that is purely because of the control scheme where you use the toggles to bat and bowl..feels much more realistic..I feel rugby league needs a bit of a control scheme overall such as sprint L3 as its only used in bursts anyway
thanks for the updates big ant ultimate respect. Can we please just have a bigger focus on gameplay now..the game looks epic! players, kits, stadiums etc are all there but gameplay is the killer
Much like yourself, I cannot force myself through at least one match on RL26. Like you, I get so excited for every update too. But man, I see weâre back to NRL field markings for Super League Games, a tiny issue but one they fixed a while ago, but somehow itâs back again. And again, no proper referee kits for Super League and still no touchline sponsor boards.
Warringtonâs new home shirt is wrong, the Hoover sponsor should be black, the colours are too dark, and the traditional style collar is actually from the fan version.
Itâs little things once again spoiling immersion and thatâs before the frustrating gameplay you already pointed out. I canât believe weâre still putting up with the one man collapsing over the tryline animation at this stage.
Again, much like you, I donât care for the online stuff and the packs etc, I want something that feels and plays like real life RL, a game Iâd enjoy playing a season mode on, but man thereâs so much potential going amiss.
Industree Group Stadium isnât in stadium select when choosing a stadium when going to play now to play a single match, can only play games at Industree Group Stadium in career mode and competition mode
I feel for Cowboys supporters who play this game. Iâve only briefly looked at it today, but it seems, yet again, NthQld remain ignored as far as updated kits go. Same two jerseys as 2025 (complete with their 30yrs logo), which wasnât even all their kits last year.
Seems like theyâre lucky theyâre even in the game at all..!
Next update can we please have nsw cup? And get all players scanned and also scan all super league. Another cool thing would be pre game rituals for all stars and international teams plus all the anthems.
Also classic teams and jerseys would be sick from old grand final matches ect.
Yeah, I know. I still feel for the NthQld fans, as itâs their team thatâs being left behind in this game. I did hear it was the Cowboys having some kind of issue with BA or the game itself. Dunno what exactly it was, but it still seems to be on-going.
Hi there, I like the 2026 kit update so far, I was just wondering if we could copy and paste jerseys from 2025 teams to their 2026 team, and could we have a Career mode option where we can pick between 2025 or 2026 teams and fixtures? Also, I donât like L3 being the copy and R3 being paste for colours, could this be buttons that wonât change the colour position?
Anyone know how to get a good custom difficulty thats makes the game 50/50 because every other difficulty just feels the same now ever since they introduced custom ones
I was so excited for the 26 update with it being Manlys 80th year and the Pepsi era home jersey. But theyâve left last years shorts and it looks wrong.
Since the last update the game seems to be moving in the right direction again. Having some fun playing on Pro, you do get the occasional 2nd or third skill move that will work against your opponent. The defensive players getting a little more involved in the tackle instead of standing around. We still get the annoying try line defender standing around while the offensive player pushes over for the try, put it is not as often, could be tuned even more for 2 or 3 defenders to get involved to cause a hold up over the line when the defenders are in a good position to do it, I sometimes play on custom settings were the defense is more aggressive but the fends, sidesteps, and hitups are a little more effective, it seems to balance the game out some. Would be cool if they had a button, that particularly sends a second or third defender into the tackle, it would possibly free up another offensive player for a pass, but it would be risk vs reward situation, in early versions of the game , it did seem to work that way, were you could hold on to a shoulder button to tighten the defense and it would bring in more defenders to defend against the pushover struggle try. Also, in past games there were more variations, of try or no try video ref, at times a defensive arm or leg would cause a hold up, or knock the ball loose for a no try. It made defense more fun to play on the try line. But at least this last patch seemed to make the game more playable and have had some enjoyable games. Looking forward to continuing improvements.
