The Future Of Rugby League 26

Let’s talk about the future of rugby league 26, what we expect, etc.

If I pay $100 for a game that has a new title and also considering the game developer is small where they can only provide the same gameplay as the last installment, i would expect that all bugs and shortcomings be vastly improved and fixed.

The floating passing and offloading.

The unrealistic choice of animation at certain times eg make a bust and have forward momentum to only be tackled from behind but get driven back.

The magnet like effect that we see in tackles that defies physics.

Playmakers standing somewhere that makes sense on last to get a kick away and not on the touchline.

Not getting driven back every tackle on higher difficulties.

Can i just once, throw a nice cut out or harbour bridge pass from my halfback or 5/8 for my winger to score without it resulting in an intercept or a tackle???

Im sure i have more but this is all i have off the top of my head.

I expect Big Ant to fix it… in the past i was of the belief that Big Ant took pride in their work and would strive for the best they could under the restraints of Publishers.

My hope is they fix it so we get a functional game with a future.. or that Big Ant get the rights and make a game without restrictions.

But i don’t know how much of the old team is there.. nothing personal, but bring Jimmy back!!!

Anyone know if you choose to play in Queensland cup in player career, can you progress to the nrl?

yes you can progress from QLD cup to NRL but It feeels unrealist for so many teams to progress considering NSW cup is Uslly the main pipline for young players and if you going from a QLD cup to NSW team.

Yo big ant I’ve purchased 4,400 ptc just before and I understand pro team is down right now but I didn’t see it when I was in there earlier and I was charged for the purchase of $14.95 from my account

Without basic things game stats( tackles,missed tackles,try assists,MAN OF THE MATCH) and still licensed restrictions on rosters/players. And now a collect a card Pokemon leech for cash. Not much of a future!!!. Not sure why rugby league live 2 can’t be the simple frame work. I could anything on that game. Since fans of rugby league go through long periods between games customization keeps players going. Yes fix to the gameplay…faster pass, closest player becomes dummy half,players line up where they should on the field…etc. If you restict things like team/player customization, no international teams, moving players around freely(online can be different) I never play online so I don’t care. I like to create the greatest all-time teams( can’t get the people who make these games to do it) maybe take some hints frome NBA 2k. All-time rosters and( shock horror) I can do what I want with them. If simple things like game stats and RLL2 level customization are not going to be part of this game please let us know so I can still get my full refund from eb before the 7days are up. If you can’t at least do that then this will be the last big ant/tru blu game I buy

Can someone tell me why I can’t kick a field goal when I’m holding down circle which is the button on playstation to kick one

It would be cool in career mode after selecting your 17 man squad for that week any change you make after that the players keep there jersey number no matter what. For example if you wanted to start a bench player instead they would keep there number (ie 16) or if you wanted to pick someone in the extended squad they could be rocking the number 19 on their back. Always wanted this to be a feature and I think it would make the game even more immersive.

(I’m not sure if this is an intentional or not but when I moved Talakai to centre from the bench on play now he retained his bench number. If it is why not bring it to career mode)

Rugby League Live 2 was awesome, I loved the fun way to play, When Live4 came out I got over it in a week it was crap compared to the last games. RL26 is just as bad if not worse.

The lines the players run and trying to pass those lines doesn’t work, by the time they catch the ball they are getting tackled, you rely on more luck to score tries and make brakes then skill.

There should be more time with the ball in attack to create plays, i.e. stepping as they go to tackle feels like you need to preselect to step before you get near the line and then they have a delayed miss tackle instead of stepping as you get near the defender. draw and pass doesn’t work as the player you want to pass to will stand back and by the time he catches it defence has plenty of time to adjust and tackle him.

Im going to put the game on the shelf for a few months and hope some decent updates come through, I want an arcade game I can play with the kids and have fun on the console, don’t care for online I want to play with family and friends in my house not on the internet.

Not the same without NSW cup either. cant have a career without proceeding through NSW cup
