Definitely a huge improvement in passing. There are still many things that need to be improved, like laser fast passes, positioning of players which in many cases are too deep and distant, some high tackles that I also noticed, the maul freezing for 2-3 seconds, conversion kicking being too easy and offering no challenge, penalties, yellow cards, off-sides and smoother animations especially when scoring tries, commentary repeating multiple times the same lines like "received the pass", players slowing down when they should be rushing to pick up the ball etc. But the game is heading in a positive direction and starting to offer excitement and being fun. Big Ants have laid their roadmap for the next two months, so we should see further improvements in gameplay which is the area that hurts most. But so far, so good ! Cheers to all rugby fans !
Gameplay is still too clanky for it to be enjoyable. Looks like the mechanics at the breakdown are especially wonky, as that killed a lot of momentum in your play. The in-game commentary could also do with some additional lines. I was tearing my hair out over how many times the commentator said 'receives the pass.' On the plus side, the passing and attack/defence structures look a lot more stable. Most likely the reason why this was even remotely playable.
