Rugby 25 Megathread

Rugby League conversions are classy. A mini-game of it’s own, wind is a factor and you have to figure them out for power, angle etc. They make R25 conversions look ridiculous.

Punt options? Hopefully one of the changes to punts will be the flyhalf doing what EVERY flyhalf from club to International does - not jog forward.

Hopefully pocket player selection will work every time in an upcoming patch? As of now it doesn’t. Or is that just another “side view” issue?

Hopefully another will be a quicker building, longer kick, that y’know, makes punting actually a thing you get some valuable territory out of? As big as the 45m+ clearances that we regularly see from players with skill in the real world.

Agree with Valhalla, the game also needs to make line-outs competitive, something that if you react very quickly you have a chance of reading a throw distance and winning the line-out against the throw. How about making it based on how far the hookers arms go back behind his head? Sort’ve like what real forwards look for in real life?

I might’ve become annoying going on about kicking, but I care that this game represents Rugby Union and plays in a contestable way we all deserve.
