Hey team @JNT_BA
Not going to give feedback on things that need to be added, fixed and improved to the game as have already done that on plenty of occasions and people continue to mention those things everyday. Feedback hasn’t changed, all those issues brought up are still holding the game back from any major improvement.
Has the game gotten better since it was released, yes. Is the game where you think it would be after 17 updates, no where close.
I think you would take a lot of pressure off yourselves if you released a roadmap. Players would stop bombarding you with feedback, and constantly repeating themselves as they would know these gameplay issues are going to be addressed at some stage. They are getting sick of repeating it, and you must be getting sick of rereading the same stuff being brought up. No communication just creates a divide between the developer and the player base.
There needs to be some clear communication. At the end of the day, the game was released unfinished. It’s up to you to fix it and bring it up to a good enough standard. You’ve got to finish what you start and obviously take pride in that, as it’s your company’s name labeled on the game. At the moment it looks like you’ve released it unfinished, made it look nice with licences, photogrammetry etc but the gameplay is broken. E.g The attacking tactics don’t work and the formations don’t change when you change tactic, what is the point of trying to have them in the game if they have no affect whatsoever?
It looks like your team have taken the focus off rugby 25 and put full focus on the rugby league game. Is that an unfair thing to say? Probably, but if there isn’t any clear communication and the patches are the same every week, what do you expect. Are people in this forum being a bit harsh and impatient, maybe, but you can’t blame them when there is no communication of what is actually being worked on, and considering there has been 17 updates and they have all pretty much been slight tweaks with no major change to gameplay is quite hard to comprehend. Most games that release patches, have massive fixes to gameplay within the first couple of patches. Can understand why, updates to player face scans etc take time but gameplay shouldn’t be on the 17th update and still not have any major improvement.
Hope you guys can sort this out and get this game to where it should be, especially before you release the rugby league game, as its not a good look
