I'm trying to love it, as an Eels and league fan - but imo it's almost unplayable:

* rubbish AI
* rubbish collision detection
* rubbish kicking
* rubbish passing
* the players look like they're on ice skates
* commentary is woeful
* the game doesn't reward skill; it rewards random bits of luck

Back to Don Bradman Cricket for me.

I've never liked Big Ant and their games. But...I wanted the next game to be decent. It shouldn't take less than a match to see major flaws...

Pick it up and Play it. Some people have enjoyed the game. I know I did briefly. But thankfully eb accept returns within 7 days lol.

I managed to clock up another couple of hours last night. Still only playing on the second difficulty level I think (it's been a while since I played a RL game).

I've managed to bomb the ball towards the in goal, and blokes just stand around and let it bounce, sometimes 3 times before anyone pics it up. This is despite me standing under it smashing Y for the jump catch. The first time I got it working, Mike Cooper grabbed it while standing on the try line and put it down for a try.

I tried to up the difficulty level last night but could get no forward momentum at all. Played a few 9's games getting beaten to 0 without being able to get out of my 20 zone. I probably just suck, but the difficulty rising so much in one step up seems odd.

I pushed forward over the line, got swamped by 3 defenders and held up, then when I went to get up stood out so it was a dead ball 20m restart.

Commentary is awful.

It's fun though, but seems like the kinda game I would play after watching the Dragons get beaten. Jump on, put on easy and destroy the team by 70.

Also, I absolutely HATE the pre game things with the team banners.

the DRAGONS versus THE BULLDOGS. Cringeworthy at best.

So I got this and 'Rocket League' at the same time. Had a go of both. Guess which one I'll probably still be playing in a month...

In summary, it seems like the sort of game I would blow the dust off once every few months at a piss up to muck around with a few mates on, but thats about it.

About the BAP gameplay. I've noticed a lot of people on Facebook whinging about getting injured all the time.

Is this because of the stamina bar and them depleting it and then still going hell for leather the whole time?

I've tried to stay back, pick my moments, make a dash... if its good and I make good metres I'll lay off for a while and have a breather, then get back into it.

It's no where near as bad as some of you are going on. Played it all yesterday and once I got the hang of it I had a mad merkin time playing it.

My first 4 or 5 games I had the same thoughts as every one else. Has it's flaws but It's a half decent league game and your not going to get any better. Fifa comes out on Sunday anyway so it will do till then. I probably want touch it once NBK2k16 and Fifa are out.

this seems to be the attitude of the developers and why its such a letdown. no one expects a game as polished as the EA games or y2k titles but you cant keep serving up shit and expecting people to like it. i've played and purchased every league game thats ever come out going back to ET's rugby, but in 2015 if they cant get the basics right there's a problem. any game is fun if you convince yourself it is, but this seems like an abortion and you yourself said you prob wont touch it once fifa and nab 2k comes out which is an indication of where it sits.

this is what? the 3rd or 4th console game in the past 10 years and we're still discussing the same flaws which plagued the other versions.

It feels a bit rushed. Minor things in the game is what is a let down.. I reckon they should of waited till the start of next season to release it.

I swear these merkins don't even test the games before they release them.

Its close to a decent game just needed a bit more time imo.

I can barely read the team on the screen before its gone!

Also, I'm hearing you can't jsut promote players through to NRL in coach mode. You have to sign them to a contract or something?

No international in coaching mode either

...and I still have a 2 week wait just to play it.
I'm keen as for it as my last RL game was the World Cup one on the PS2 (think it had Steve Price on the cover)

You can promote who ever. There is an option to show feeder players in team management.

When choosing your 17 to play press triangle (ps4) y (Xbox) and then choose show players from other leagues this is where you promote players
