How am I nearing 100 hours in this game and have no idea injuries were a thing :joy:
What was the cause of the injury? Was it a high tackle penalty that resulted in a concussion, or was it just in open pla and randomly a guy got injured.

Ye I also did not know. Random from tackle in open play, no penalty. Not sure whether it was even a high tackle, I think he was defending. Poor tackle technique i guess

I didn’t get an injury marker
but Grant Williams was rolling around in pain. And then teleporting back into his pain animation when he tried to get up. It was the last phase of the game, so he might’ve shown the marker if there was time for a reset.

my guess: maybe we’ll get a few different animations for injuries

some issues so far with ea6 regarding the ruck, been caught a few times in the past 3 games i’ve played online where the ball is unplayable but the game fixes itself after a minute or two, this happened a few times, also the passing options dont work and don’t come up half the time. appreciate the work you guys are putting into it though

It seems that with the latest patch, You do not have the option to “Share updated Version” of a player or team to the online community. The only option you are presented is to “Unshare”, which when selected, crashes the game, both for team and player. I have reported this for the player side, but hoping the fix will also affect both.

Furthermore, under “Manage Teams” the team rating would be say 68, which is correct, but once you go to the team menu, the rating says 99, which is obviously not correct.

Lastly, could you enhance the competition creator, so that you do not setup a once off competition, but instead create a competition once, which you can play over and over thereafter, with the option to edit and make adjustments when required, say swap out teams that have been promoted or relegated? Creating the competition would then also allow you to select graphics such as the scoreboard option we have discussed in previous threads, as well as competition sponsors that get painted to the field when playing in that comp.

Also, please urgently change that we can include custom teams to the competition creator, as we currently cannot select them.

Thanks

also the option to bring up a pop up map of the field when you press the second option button would be a great feature to add to the game

Just bought early access the other day. Lot of solid work but also super bare bones.

Tactics system desperately needed. Kicking (specifically clearing lines out of a ruck) need work and I wish there was team management. AI is far too easy. Need more penalties and randomness. Every game ends either 35-0 or 14-7 or something. Just tries and nothing else. Hope this gets improved as the game progresses!

Hi Team,

A serious bug occurs after going into the fan hub to search for players. After you exit the fan hub you press back on Fanhub search menu and then the screen goes blank (Screenshot below) and your unable to get back to game menus. You must turn the game off completely to get out of this.

Thanks

This is the same for logo searches too. Exactly the same event.

I can see that the Spanish translation corresponds to that of Spain (Here in Argentina we don’t say melĂ©, placaje, ensayo, etc) And yet it’s clear that some translations are not very accurate. For example “away” in this context should be translated as “visitante"

And “Bind to ruck” should be “Unir al ruck”.

Latest patch seemed to increase stability, had 2 full game on 10 minute halves and 2 full game on 15 minute halves and no crashes. Well done, on that front passing , grubbers, coming along nicely. The games over all feel is getting better and better. Sidesteps, shoulder barge, and stiff arms working better, you can also dummy. The only core gameplay that seems to need a good upgrade is the rucks. Was told to be patient, so I am thinking something is in the works. Maybe to late, but would be nice to have the option of up to 5 players joining in extreme circumstances. Again this adds a greater risk vs reward system. Limiting to 3 brings back bad memories when rugby challenge 4 had a fairly good system were you could add up to 5 players initially and then they patched to 3 limit in the ruck, which felt like they were dumbing down the rucks. For that reason I still will play rugby challenge 3 over Rugby challenge 4. More control in the rucks, really brings the simulation part of rugby out of the game. The Jackle in rugby challenge series works fairly well and at a good pace. The best attributes of Rugby 22 and Rugby challenge 3 rucks would be great. I think the best rucking system has yet to be designed. Rugby 25 has some of the coolest clear-out animations I’ve seen in rugby games, just needs more variety of them and more control over them, and who knows, maybe Rugby 25 could end up having the best rucking system to date.
And agree, with the post above about the Spanish, I to am Argentinian and the Spanish is of some, but will let it slide if the rucks are done correctly :slight_smile:
