Rugby League 26 - Prelaunch - Megathread

They’ve added charge downs now according to trophies which is good.

Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t someone say the NRL digital team said “something” was happening yesterday

It was mentioned above ‘ they mentioned a couple dates that “possibly” be something (did not say what) being the 03rd or 4th July with a dependency “something” being 01st July???’

So based on this - tomorrow or Friday (3rd/4th) was the plan but had a dependency on something yesterday - maybe final tick of approval from Abdo/PVL ? :slight_smile: who knows what the NRL are thinking and really getting to the point now where it’s almost pointless as games out soon anyway hahaha

I’m not getting hopes up. I think they will unveil at origin 3 as it is the grand spectacle of NRL. Hope earlier but that’s my thinking

Maybe the best thing to do is instead of holding L2 and having to move the aiming cursor forward is to hold L2 and the cursor starts at full distance where you aim the stick so the kick can be immediate.

Hi Radman how u been? You should get on the Rugby League 26 Unofficial Discord Channel.

Bro! You are alive. I remember you from the old RL2 Forums back in 2008. You would do up the crazy good jersey designs?

My only hope for it is that theres a good training/practice mode.

The glitch in be a pro where the team wouldnt pass to you when you call for the ball. They just pass it around until someone makes an error

The cover might of been what they (NRL) were on about?! Trailer now makes sense around origin decider where all eyes are on match environment. In stating this, Bigant would have an idea because they would be the ones designing, capturing and providing the trailer to the NRL…which may have already been provided ;0)

I assume there will be a bunch of tutorials guiding you through all of the gameplay mechanics.

Today’s screenshots were great and terrible. Pappy looked very detailed, Penitani looked liked her face was photoshopped on after the screen grab. Not to mention all are cut scenes. Gameplay is needed.

Big Ant have not advertised any of their recent releases. They will do about maybe 2 weeks of very limited hype and showing little to no gameplay. Note the rugby and Afl game released before any gameplay trailer was released.

Judging off the recent pattern id say Rugby league 26 will be added to that list. I have no idea for the reasoning behind this as it seems counter productive but it must be working for them if they keep doing it.

Do you think my laptop will be able to run RL26? It’s 5 years old from 2020.

That’s because they are relying on the desperate public. We have been starved of a game for nearly a decade and know people will buy it. Why advertise and spend money when that is so expensive. Do nothing and let it all be profit. Buyer beware on this one.

Nice to see some of the old gang. Some of us have been around since the 2003 SIDHE days. Showing our age for sure.
