So ur telling me you added a tackle button that doesn’t do anything. Get jobs. ### 1/5 — Worst game ever *2025-11-02, version 1.1.3* This game Has too many bugs and own rule bc when o accidentally passed out it was a penalty for both rugby league games RL22 And RL24 Sincerely Tom Dearden ### 1/5 — Not good *2025-05-22, version 1.1.3* The game is always saying it’s forward passes, knock ons or stuff that doesn’t work very well. It’s like the game chooses what happens for you and it will randomly turnover and randomly pass at any moment ### 1/5 — THIS GAME REALLY NEEDS A UPGRADE *2024-07-16, version 1.1.3* ok so let’s get this straightened. 1. Bro other team went from my try line went they had the ball to there try line then got a flipping try. I literally pressed stand and dive and guess what someone they went through. 2. Like 5 meters away from getting a try they forward pass and got a try like what is wrong with the flipping referee. 3. Bro this is the reason why I make this review. Bro when I was literally nearly away to get a try probably about 10 meters a opponent catched up to me, So I had to pass to my teammate which was literally next to me LIKE LITERALLY, then someone I passed it OUT! and this happens 10 TIMES ARGHHH! 4. btw an extra star because it’s alright but you really need a upgrade ### 1/5 — Game is goofy *2024-07-09, version 1.1.3* The animations are goofy when the player gate tackled, since the time in this game goes SO QUICKLY! It takes about a whole ingame minute for the players to get up! Also every tackle is that animation. Pls fix :) ### 1/5 — Really bad don’t get crashes phone can’t use phone *2024-06-21, version 1.1.3* Really bad ### 1/5 — Why do I even have his game? *2024-02-16, version 1.1.2* So bad.
