Started a new BAP:

Playing as Winger for the Eels. Was in a prelim final against the Bulldogs up 18 - 2.

Thought I'd chuck my foot over the line as the ball was slowly rolling towards me to get us a 20m restart, but it was a drop out. Might be a glitch, dunno.

Had like, 2 mins to go, scores locked up and we'd just got the ball on our own 10m line so I kicked it as hard as I could down field but they got it back and got a field goal attempt. Lucky they missed it!

In extra time, I plucked a bomb out of mid air and got bundled over the sideline, ugh. Tried to make up for it on the next play that I got the ball but put a f**king foot over the line as i ran it back into the defense.

Voss was giving me heaps. Gus just kept saying 'no, no, no, no, no'.

Anyway, we lost and I got dropped to NSW cup.

That hasn't been a 20m restart for a few years now.

So no it's not a glitch.

:lol: He means his player glitched over the touchline to pick up the ball as it was rolling into touch when he didn't want to play at it. He's playing as a winger.

What the f**k rule are you even referring to?

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.

If I just sit back and wait for my moment I get subbed off three times a game... As a fullback. I have to be the second coming of Jarryd Hayne if I want to play the full eighty there.

Lol maybe when trying to make someone else look stupid, best not to make yourself look like a f**king idiot.

Although thats a bit hard for you considering how often you manage to do it.

Got home and bashed out a quick 4 or 5 games in career mode.

Every game has been 6-0 or 6-6 or similar.

I noticed in a toyota cup game in BAP, clune got the ball on the last tackle, 10 mins into the game and kicked a field goal. Was 1-0 at half time. f**king stupid.

The more I play, the more I'm working out the inconsistencies or just downright flaws... of which there are a lot.

I'll probably know more when I can play against some mates tomorrow.

Im not getting 6-0 scorelines, that isn't a problem for me. are you playing 10 minute halves?

there are plenty of flaws but its still fun enough for me. career mode is great, the recruiting system works a treat.

the two main flaws for me are :

*No forward momentum in attack/every AI tackle is a big hit
*my AI teammates running away instead of running toward the attacker in defence.

the rest im actually okay with. forward momentum is obtainable, you just have to be creative about it. but it doesn't negate the fact that power running is useless in this game, meaning forwards like Mau or Bromwich are ineffective.


I just don't understand how this stuff isn't tested and fixed, or do big ant not watch rubgy league games?

You know how I know this game is f**ked?

Will Hopoate and Ryan Morgan are guns in my game.

Seriously, though - Semi made a linebreak down the right wing (...), beat Brett Stewart and had an open run to score, only to inexplicably throw a pass back inside to Morgan who was smashed by Mason, forcing a knock-on...

I've scored several tries with Dylan Farrell. Might post that on the bug register over at Big Ant.

Lol I was trying to work out how my player got pipped for man of the match. Looked up the stats and the opposition player finished with 1200 running metres. Not bad considering he only made 1 linebreak. Another of their players made 873m

If you time the hit correctly and push up on the Right stick as you hit the player in attack your player will get some forward momentum. I did this in the 5m zone and he barged over for a nice try also did it again and Peats had room to scoot out of dummy half and kick a 40/20. It's hard to perfect this game which I like. There are a lot of bugs that I think can be fixed quickly someone the rule interpretations are horrid
