Hope in the future with rugby 24 maybe you guys can do marketing on online tournaments with your youtube channels we are a big community with RC4 playing online tournaments. But its not that popular you guys have alot of followers that might can turn it into a big thing.

If this game is awful will you guys still be playing lol? Iâm talking Rugby 18 bad. I still played but it was soâŚmeh.
I canât see it being awful. Yes the promotion is lacking but I still strongly believe once it is released it will be one of the best rugby games we have had in recent years.
Big Ant are well known for their customisation features, and both AFL 23 and Cricket 24 have launched with those which will be a big inclusion for a Rugby games that more recent titles have lacked.
Plus with the level of licenses they seem to be going for, we will have quite the amount of players and teams to utilise while playing.

I was a New York fan 
If we get a trailer for a 30th release, odds on it will come out this week commencing 15th, my bet would be tuesday as it is exactly 2 weeks before releae.

You guys have great attitudes. We gotta support this game regardless since itâs really the only option for us fans. I feel bad that this is this marketing strategy but you guys make me feel better about the release.

No wayâŚdidnât realize their rugby league games were so well received. What do they do well in those that you anticipate translating over? If you answered this in your YouTube video sorry, but I did just subscribe to you!

So the anticipation is reaching fever pitch. Hoorah.
Do we know which leagues are included yet?
You wonât get an EAFC experience because I assume youâll be able to customise stuff which hasnât been part of FIFA for ages.
Looking forward to seeing Fafâs hair dynamicsâŚ
I have to challenge you here. Thereâs knowing sports via authenticity and presentation(fans)âŚand then knowing sports from the technical and mechanical perspective(professionals). They lack the latter. Iâve seen it across multiple disciplines, but itâs the same formula. The immersion, details, customization, depth of features is all there; but the actual understanding of the core mechanics of each sport is not at the same level.
It reads to me more like pure sports fans, versus actual students of the sports. I feel they would bode well to start bringing in actual professionals (I donât mean licensed players/teams) during dev time.

God I hope youâre here for the long haul. I wouldnât mind paying for your hard work.
Maybe. I just wanted to show what is possible having made a bunch of stuff for AFL 23 ( Academy Creations - AFL 23 - Big Ant Studios Community Forum). Making logos is rather time consuming as it needs to be in SVG format and under 400 nodes. When I did the Big Ant tour i found they were just using Jpgs to make the game (not for modding) which would be ideal.
Like before AFL23âs release I made the Southland Jersey from 2001 with the Cricket 22 editor team which can be downloaded for free on steam.
Not sure whether Iâll buy the Rugby game. To mod it on PC and play it on PS5 Iâd have to buy it twiceâŚ
As for the Stags, remember you catch more flies with honey

Passing in RLL4 was pretty terrible compared to RLL3! Couldnât properly draw and pass, passing was really floaty and far too many interceptions. Hopefully this is vastly improved as itâs a pretty major mechanic

Itâs not a case for looking for the wrong foundations for success. When you yourself (the companies in this case) use lines like âmost authenticâ, âbest everâ, âmost accurateâ in their tag lines, then clearly the are aiming for the things Iâm mentioning. Realistic animations, ball physics, tactics, patterns of play, movement, surface degradationâŚthose things are essential if your aim is on those things I listed.
Again there is not doubt that they are hard working, and they most certainly fill these games with things that add to the immersion and experience. But if your version of success is based on how well it does, well are they really successful then? Commercial success is your other mentioned companies/franchises mentioned (EA/FIFA), and big ant hasnât come close to those numbers (even to scale).
And I too have a similar background in a sport, and several of their games donât pass my eye test. I canât speak for Cricket or AFL, but Rugby and Tennis have other titles coming into the market, so Big Ant wonât be alone anymoreâŚ.now is time to really make a mark.

For sure. A solid foundation is something that can be built on with the âfun stuffâ. I just see far too many comments that seem content with their games and use the AA excuse as justification. There will be no growth if everyone excepts it as is.
These companies charge the same as AAA and put in the same effort in dev time, so we should expect better than just âpassableâ. Ultimately I think everyone just wants authentic, fun and immersive sports titles that carry on for the years to come.
