Experimental mode

Rugby 25
1

Hi Guys.

Ive mentioned this in prior feedback threads but the issue is now more acute.

Other steam games I play have the option to play in experimental mode (listed under properties in the steam page settings tab) . This allows players to play the latest version of the game prior to updates with anything the devs are currently working on. Although this makes the game more liable to crash it shows the direction that the game is heading with gameplay changes.

If its possible I’m imploring you implement something similar. This will allow players hands on time with game improvements prior to patches releasing, allowing them to play test builds before they go live and advise on any glaring issues.

The current patch adds a few good things, trucks more contestable, better tackle animations, but changes to the tackle radius have essentially broken the game. You can now barely pass or kick. Even attempting a box kick gets you tackled a lot of the time.

You now have a hacked off player base that have to wait a week and hope the next patch fixes the issue and gets to a reasonably playable state this could’ve been avoided with a significant playtest

Yeah there is no way that this is what the team has been playing in the office and especially since beginning in the year when Ross said he been playing it in the office, because anyone that’s a rugby fan can play this game for 2min and know this is not it.

I would love to play what they playing in the office to see how far behind we are with the version they are playing in the office.

Unless this is what they are playing at the office than I’m worried because they definitely don’t know what rugby is and might have to hire people that worked on rugby challenge or rugby 22 because they atleast gave us a rugby game
