Rugby 25 Megathread

[Valhalla_Vagabond]

Hi BA,

Not sure if it is specifically the score of 108 or if it is any score between 101 and 110 … but the end digit went missing.

Also if you dive and put the ball down in goal but then continue to slide over the dead ball line the game does not recognise the try and restarts with a drop out. Playing at Sales home ground whichever that is.

Edit: Seems to do it at 120+ as well

It does the same for any set of 10 above. Only reflects 141 but no other digit. Assuming the container isn’t set wide enough.

Its deffo pointless playing the game atm, majority of the time game is played between the 22s bring back Last Tuesdays Patch

[JB198]

We were getting close to conceding 122 against Leinster yesterday….

[Tigersmad83]

Please BA look at The scrum penalties need looking at so both sides get them not just the ai team also the kicking penalties instead of scruming every penalty and also giving a penalty for no reason

[Gillymore]

The game is basically gooched. How many post release patches have we had only for the gameplay to go backwards? It wouldn’t be so bad if playing the game was enjoyable if not accurately depicting the rules and nuances of rugby union…but it’s not even that. I was a sucker to buy it.

Floaty passes are also back quick qeustuon when is the top 14 teams gonna be licensed fully no player faces at montpellier clermont etc.. Also how many updates do you guys wanna bring … We paid for tge game full price I think it is time you guys deliver fully and bring major updates not just small updates but we need to start coming together and get this game finished cause honestly some days are good some days are bad and some days it just feels like I was scammed. @JNT_BA also when is the rest of the SPRINGBOK squad getting done Its been 14 updates… How many more the scrums are a bit dumb at the moment you struggle to get the ball away from behind and also lead to penalties a lot you guys have to answer you guys are just quiet when is this gonna come together come on man you guys have to give us feedback not just let us stay in the dark

[Stevo]

Fwiw while the current patch is broken there are some better offensive possibilities happening now especially with support runners. Hopefully they can crack it. That said I really wish the backline was ya know the backline versus random players

Edit:

Actually id go one step further to say this is probably the most enjoyable the attacking side has been so far. You can score a range of tries which is nice

Hi Team,

As someone who posts videos on YouTube for Rugby Video gaming. I have not done as nearly enough videos or posted as frequently as I have wanted. I have so many ideas and plans to make for content. I am passionate about this game and to see it succeed as a fun and good quality rugby game.

I want to show and expose the game in a positive way as a rugby fan and in which it would probably help make some people decide to buy it to help support the sales of the game but it is hard to be motivated to make content or even a series on a club season or tournament with all the problems with AI unable to attack with any skill or pressure.

This is such a major issue hurting the game being exposed and frustrating the customers like myself and others on here who already bought it and been in the EA. I just hope you can get the right rugby coding to fix the Ai attack.

All european club comps are played in stade de france on career mode. Would be great if this could be sorted.

Hi everyone

Played quite a bit over the weekend after the hot fix on Friday.
Man, I can feel there’s a great Rugby game in there and for that, well done, Rugby is an incredibly complex sport with so many elements and I commend you for at least trying. EA games made a good game but as most companies, they were only in it for the money, they had no passion for the game so they cut it along with Cricket.

Now, to my feedback, the defence on both sides need to be better, I can break the opposition line way too easily, especially with a pickup and go and if I throw in a fend or two followed by a pass, which leads to another fend, I find myself 30+ up by half time. The same goes for the AI, they can break my line just as easily with my players sometimes not even going for the tackle, almost like they’re playing “touch rugby”. I can almost hear my player saying: “Oh, excuse me” while the opposition just continues on their merry way. Sometimes the AI finishes with 14 points with 20% possession because they could break my line so easily. Being able to fend off every first tackle is very unrealistic, this should be minimized.

I have a season goal of scoring 9 drop goals, but I am unable to do that as the drop goal has no power at all, my players just toes the ball to the opposition.

Why are the scrums still broken? The only way to win the scrum is by frantically pressing for the number 8 to pick up an go otherwise you just collapse the scrum.

The AI will only go for goal on a penalty when it is awarded in my 22, every other place on the field will be a scrum, the scrum should be the last thing that they opt for on a penalty. Depending on the scoreline and how far we are in the game, they should go for goal anywhere in my half of the field or go for touch, should they need to stage a comeback or when they are in there own half.

So please just focus on defence as well, It shouldn’t always have to be a try fest with everyone just breaking the line all the time.

Thank you

I live in South Africa and I’ve been without electricity for 7 days.

What did I miss? Can I put Halfpenny and North in the Welsh national team yet?

[jackjohnston12]

Sadly not, it seems that they are not interested in this feature. Crazy I know. They have the ability to search and filter players but have not activated “licensed players” to be transferred. For me not having this has killed any enjoyment in the game. I’ve stopped playing it, shame really as it’s a great game.

Hi Big Ant,

again players standing still when receiving a pass.it destroy the attacking flow of the game.

Kick to touch on 5m line Camera don’t work again Big ants we have mentioned this,everytime i had to kick across the field.

Quick Throw Line Out is broken.

Rucks again is just odd,is just you have to spam buttons the Bar is useless.
there is no indication of when to turn over or when to realese the whole ruck system needs to changed.The Hold on ball button is useless we don’t have to press manualy on the hold on button it should be automaticly for us as users i can still press the button when there is no defenders at the ruck i still get penalized for holding on even there is no jackal or defender ,because AI does not concede a penalty for holding on.

General Kick needs a line tracetory,Vertical kicks/bomb kicks and need for more height even box kick needs more height and dept tracetory.
Grubber kicks needs tracertory line .

Goal kick is not an challenge its to easy and the ball curve only goes one way the wind has no influence of the kicks.

AI still scrum alot.

Where is the Penalty advantages/i don’t see any the ref is blowing immediately for penalty.

whe need and momentum system and a phase play stats whilst on attack to see the momentum bar when your team is on the frontfoot.

even we need forwards\scrum weight pack stats in cutscenes.

We need the formation of pods actions right for back pass and deep pass.

We need set the attacking backline options
Wide/Deep/flat

Defends
Compress/Wide/flat/.

Setplays and variety of attacking style is the immersion of rugby.

When playing womens competions the content the crowd is amazing whe need that in mens rugby please the adverts,Licence around the field.

Its Still raining through the roof in Dunedin Forsythh Barr.

Set plays also Big ANTS we depend on you but listening to us is critical,we no rugby is the most complex game to make,player movemnets,rules and animations is difficult.

Just given us what we want a complete rugby game

[Rio10]

I know this “MIGHT” be unnecessary technicalities at the stage where the game is right now @JNT_BA @MattW , but the stats of simulation games doesnt even make sense, possesion 50-50, ZERO tackles made on both sides(How??) ZERO penalties conceded yet penalty goals was kicked, kicking meters gained, but an actual game the AI barely kicks. No rucks, no scrums..you guys have a lot of work to do still.

On the game I played, my actual missed tackles is more than 50 at times, because the AI gets to ALWAYS LITERALLY ALWAYS Sidestep my first tackler, thats just crazy, Can you just fix the damn game correctly, this is so frustrating. Box Kicks are Higher and Further then an Actual Up and Under, Kickers kicking to touch are still left footed when they are actually right footed, No option to call a Mark, no Option to put the ball down in own goal area, no option to add licensed players to other teams.

[Chris20000]

I hope they add this , this week I agree it’s massive

It’s so so huge to add into

[Wallaby]

Big Ant

What’s the news???
Can we add players soon?

Or is it a no?

[ATM-Gamer]

I think the gameplay and mechanics of it require fixing first before they start adding any cosmetics.

That includes adding of players, new competitions, editing in general etc.

But who knows you never know. At least they are updating every week. Maybe better if they dropped it to one patch a week rather than two so they have more testing time in between patches.

[Atomicopier]

I’ve played the latest patch. The only thing I’ve noticed so far is that now the AI always, always, do a successfull sidestep or bump off on the first defender, it’s becoming really really annoying. I’m playing on medium difficulty and it became impossible to tackle an opponent with the first man. This is killing the gameplay, at least for me. Maybe it could make sense on hardest difficulties (and I’m not even sure about that) but at least on easy/medium difficulty it should’t happen.

Plus I’ve noticed that some players on the italian women national team became bald (I’m sure they weren’t some patches ago)

Hello! Kaufland Rugby League, the first rugby league in Romania, is made up of six teams: Dinamo Bucharest, Steaua Bucharest, Rapid Bucharest, Baia Mare, Timisoara and Universitatea Cluj. Steaua Bucharest does not exist in the game, there are only five teams in the Kaufland league, it is a shame not to add this team, along with Dinamo, who are also winners of the European Champions Cup, in the past, they are the most successful rugby teams in Romania, and without the two, the big derby in the league cannot be played. Romanian fans of this game ask you to add Steaua in Rugby 25 and check that some teams only have a home kit, and they do not have an away kit. All the best and congratulations for the game and its graphics.

I play all my games AI v AI and have seen varying gameplay and results. This might sound a little daft now but when playing my Gallagher Premiership season mode I have the difficulty set to hardest and side camera. I getting some decent play and realistic results.

For URC I have it set the same with similar results. However for Top 14 and Pro D2 I have it set on hard to achieve similar gameplay and results?

Don’t get me wrong I’m still experiencing all the infuriating issues I’ve already explained previously but still managing to drag out some decent results.

Now imagine with these issues fixed, well one can only wonder.
