Hi everyone,
Is anyone able to recommend slider settings for Rucks ?
These have been adjusted with values from medium. Some higher values across the different areas of the field for rucks.
I usually find it hard to win the ball with Ai having a higher value but do this so they can maintain some possession. Has anyone got any better suggestions? Thanks
Honestly have no clues. Since the patch, the AI steals all the rucks and I can’t steal one. This wouldnt be a big problem if the AI had a realistic way of playing. But now the game is just them holding the ball for 5 minutes never managing to score. I consider increasing the offload to benefit from the bug when they launch floaty passes around. Or just stopping to play.
Rucks for me are ping/pong and you cannot build phases. Agree, AI cannot score unless they break first tackle 100% of the time. They have 0 strategy and never kick. Game plays the same every time and getting stale.
I finally understood and found corrrect settings.
You should only try to “steal” the ball when the attackers is alone on the ground. I you want to win a turn-over, add 5 players in the ruck before the ai. This works for me I’m able to get some balls. Even if the ai is still not playing rugby, this is a step forward. ^^
Please share your settings??? @Alphaspade
I’ll give that a go. I can win rucks, but it is still a lottery. When attacker is alone, I 100% of the time get penalised for hands in ruck when there is no ruck. They should be getting penalised for holding on.
What team are you playing with? With two fairly even teams like Argentina vs Australia on Hard difficulty, I am having no issues retaining the ball in rucks. Maybe slightly more turnovers in the ruck then real life, but definitely not pin pong rugby (same as Rugby Challenge 3 or 4 or Rugby 22). And I rarely do 4 or 5 in the ruck on both ends of the ruck. You have to make sure that you playing like real rugby, if you keep throwing the ball out wide and no support, or out sprinting your rucking support, then you will get turned in the ruck. Also I have noticed if you press to early on the jackal you will get called for hands in the ruck, this part still needs polishing but seems to be improved in the last update. We still need the tackle, stand and jakal feature, and the AI holding the ball, more. Another tip. If I feel like I am isolated on offense at the ruck will press the hold button on offense when I am tackled, to help retain the ball, but if you hold to long you will get called for it. Again, other then the missing features and polishing it needs, for me on hard difficulty rucks feels to playing a fairly good simulation type rugby. I did change some sliders, so maybe that is helping. I definitely extended the amount of time to play the ball in the ruck, before ref forces you to use it in the sliders.
I am playing all different teams and levels. I try play like a real game but even if I play forward game with support its all over the place. I haven’t had time to play with sliders again but maybe later in the week.. I am not spending too much time on game as I feel it is repetitive and getting very stale with old teams etc.
Those settings seem to be just the Hardest Default.
Hardest settings with :
Still not satisfying tho.
AI still making poor choices and not being dangerous enough.
