Didn’t even realise that was a thing until now. Gee I haven’t been to a Shute Shield game for a while…
If it’s SVGs again I’ll die 
How on earth do you imagine you could import those? Will look like the KFC logo by the time you get it down to 400 points or whatever it is 
Ah, see your problem is you are the ones that aren’t for individual sale. You need the ones that are.
Snickers. Get more nuts. (But not in groups, that’s wrong)
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
Ah I see. You put THAT sort of work in. Week in that case that’s impressive. Nice job. Wonder if they will already be in the game though? BigAnt are Australian after all.
You’re going to be popular come launch ha ha.
What program do you use to draw them?
I use Adobe Illustrator

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

Wasn’t Shute shield in RC4? Thought I remembered it in Career mode.
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.
There just isn’t really anything to be said in here until more news comes. Everything has already been speculated on 100 times. Saying the game is dead in the water is a little dramatic though? 
I mean I know we are all frustrated with the lack of information, but admins have repeatedly said this isn’t the place to come for game information sooooo.
Edit: Don’t worry. I am sure as soon as any updates about what will be included in the early access are released, these forums will become a hotbed for gossip, speculation and sass

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.

Rugby gaming is not a competitive market. All these catch phrases like engagement don’t really apply to this game. If it’s good, it will sell regardless.
It doesn’t need to sell all its copies in the first day, week or even month. If it’s good, it will continue to sell.
These forums make zero difference to anything. Marketing, hype, or engagement before release. When the game is released the forums will be active and all this complaining currently in here on posts will just look like a bunch of impatient people (including myself in that) who were in here well before the game was released

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.

Yes but you are saying things that are common knowledge. Everyone knows these basics.
Everyone also knows however that the communication on a number of games has been done in this same fashion. Everyone knows this yet they still act surprised every time. Everyone knows this though they come in here and rage about the facts we already know.
Everyone comes in here, makes these weird threats as if they are some sort of authority on anything or like they can influence more than 3 people and it just depresses up the whole place. Not everyone wants to rage quit at life, some people are happy to just come in here and see what is new maybe.
How many rants do people need to have until they get the point? It isn’t going to change, there will be a reason why they do it this way. They just don’t share that either.
This forum isn’t where you’ll find updates, it isn’t where you’ll get responses about when you’ll get updates either. If this is you trying to cause a stink, then you may as well be farting into a hurricane my friend because it will be lost in here just the same.

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.
