I think things like this is the only good thing about early access on PC, as long as the fanhub/academy is released at the same time, by the time us lowly console users get it there should be plenty of amazing created content like yours to download and use :+1:

Yes brother!!
Love your work, I’m glad you’re making these.
At some point I would have tried to create all those teams along with the Queensland Prem grade with the nodes in the in creation centre :joy::joy:

Wildfires next please!

Didn’t even realise that was a thing until now. Gee I haven’t been to a Shute Shield game for a while…

Same way that I’ve imported them into Cricket and AFL. They are ready to go and work.
They never look like KFC logos when you draw them from scratch

I doubt Shute Shield would be in game. Super Rugby hopefully.

Anyone else feel this forum is now dead/pointless?? The delay announcement has completely sucked any excitement/anticipation I had for the game out of me, and the complete lack of engagement from either company over the past 5 months doesn’t give me much hope for the next 2 months, that we’ll be told anything else before the early release!

Does anyone at Big Ant care? Who knows, but for me, and I’d imagine there are others who feel likewise, the game is dead in the water and in desperate need of something to get us reinvigorated!

I think Nacon and Big Ant have known for a while that these comes weren’t coming soon. They knew Early Access was the route, assumed that would tide fans over, and didn’t plan on marketing until these games got close to the end of early access. That has massively backfired in the case of Tennis (for a few obvious reasons). I doubt anything different will happen for Rugby, and they may get away with it due to their being nothing else in the rugby market, but it would be nice if they showed interest in these games.

To be fair, there’s like 10 people who comment on these forums anyway, the engagement is already rubbish.

The truth is, rugby fans will still buy this game regardless how poor it is, but if they wanted to blow up and get people who play fifa who don’t even watch or support football for example to do the same for this game, that won’t happen.

Moral of this comment, it’s only 1% of people outraged by this delay and the other 99% don’t care because they don’t even know about this game lol.

That’s sort of the problem though. They KNOW these games will be gobbled up by the fans, because there’s no alternative. But do you think it’s fair to those same loyal fans to not once, but twice have the game come within days of its listed release date only for them to announce a delay? To let these games get within days of release without sharing a shred of information or footage?

Like I said earlier, this blew up on their faces with Tennis, because Top Spin came and stole their lunch. They won’t have that issue with Rugby (or AFL), and this sort of mentality will allow them to continue doing this.

If your game isn’t ready- fine, but then say so. If the game has nothing to show- fine, but then don’t set a release date. Social media is basically free marketing and promotion, and it’s the best way to engage with those same loyal supporters. Communication is also free, builds trust and shows you care. No excuses.

Todays the day!!

Guttered I’m not waking up and thrashing Rugby 24 all day whilst I sit around in my undies and let my inner 13 year old self take over like I used to whilst playing 06/08 back in the day.

Off to work in the rain instead, have a good one lads.

I fully agree. I was so hyped about Rugby 24 since last March. As a french you can imagine how excited I was about the RWC knowing that there would be a game coming from the guys who did Rugby League . Triple WOW

Then, my visit at Gamescom made me a bit disapointed as Rugby 24 was nowhere on the Nacon’s stand. Allright, why not.

Then first report, no problem, I was sure that all will be fine as I knew September was too soon from March. So lookibg forward to pictures, screenshots, squads announced etc… but nothing.

But it was the same with Rugby 22 so big hopes. And then the report again made me lose the sparkle.

I am so disapointed that there is nothing to be shown, nothing, not even a list of teams, modes etc… nothing AT ALL

I was enjoying going on Twitter and this forum to see if people found some news anywhere. Now you see on Twitter nobody talks about the game anymore. The Hype got so low.

The fact that all gets late because of photometry ( and so it looks aswell with Cricket ) makes me feel like all decisions regarding ressources and how to use them has been very poor.

I still cant believe that we are getting a delay because you might be travelling to Narnia to get photometry of the team. Like the guys there are postmen, bakers etc…

I am kinda happy that Top Spin comes out as it will help you to feel a bit more pressure.

Not personal Big Ants as you are part of Nacon now, never played your games but looking forward to.

Let’s hopefully get a roadmap soon and mindblowing videos that will make us forget that cold time and rise the hype again.

Today would have been the ideal day to release a little bit of info/teaser trailer/screenshot(s) to temper the disappointment a little bit, but as usual all we get is radio silence!

Once the game is actually released, I’ll have to work out what I am going to do :wink:

I did talk about this in one of my videos. I did think that in leagues they would include things like the world cup even though to me that is not a league. They must have watched because they cleared that up in the newest announcement by saying competition’s.

They say they EXPECT to have enough content to release in March but that’s no guarantee.

We’ve learnt to EXPECT any time frame for a release to be completely wrong. Hence the reason they’ve given us no specific timeframe for a full release other than some time later in the year :roll_eyes::thinking:

EXPEXT delays, EXPECT excuses, EXPECT no communication, EXPECT disappointment.

But after saying all that EXPECT the best rugby union game to date.
