Rugby 25 Megathread

Any update on editing teams? Alot of us want to know what is happening in relation to this?

Also if there will be more options in custom tournaments other than what is there at moment.

The only thing I will say for now to remove this thinking we “promised” this is we never promised this would be a thing as far as any comments or releases I could find. But please prove me wrong, I’m fine with that.

While gameplay is a much easier topic, if I can’t give an answer that will be true “I” won’t give one. Nor will I make a false promise. We read all the comments we know its something you guys want. But it’s not something you will be getting an answer to yet.

Only a mole could do that :wink:

Editing Teams can go in the bin. When gripsocks and retractable roofs ?

Rucks is a major issue. Lots of times player just standing there even when pressing bind.
It will be much appreciated if this can be looked at.

Another big issue that kills the game for me is the depth and spacing of my back line. It’s great that the AI positioning is being worked on but can you please look at players positioning too. Would love my player running on to the ball at pace. Thanks

HI BA

If you’re looking into and discussing player speed around joining rucks please also do something about the constant hand offs and offloads by Ai…its fine that they do them but surely they cant be successful in doing them everytime?

Also i feel when defending against Ai the players should drift in defence instead of running in oposite direction…thats if you have not selected a player to tackle with…it feels like the rest of the defensive line dont really drift in anticipation of the ai attack?Hope what im sayig makes sense?

Thanks

Hopefully it’s been worked on in the background, but the ai needs to kick for territory. It’s a big part of union rugby and it’s completely lacking here . Also draw and pass for ai also doesn’t really happen especially to the wingers on breaking the line.
Good work in the penalty decision making tho , big improvement there…

Hi BA,
Affraid to repeat myself, but i take my chance : are lineouts and mauls in discussion actually? That aspect is clearly unfinished. I don’t shout or argue but just want to know what are expectations and roadmap on this aspect.

Thanks

How about animations?

Can we request or suggest an animation for winning a tournament lifting a trophy?

In gameplay animations would the New Zealand Haka come under this , it’s a gameplay / cutscene suggestions

Making your AI players worse is lazy way of making the AI opposing team seem better.

@JNT_BA If you know it’s a highly requested feature and let’s be honest a very basic for a sports game (please name another that doesn’t allow you to make team edits?), is it part of the plan or should we give up mentioning it? Not knowing if you are considering it or not is frustrating. Do you have a roadmap or is it more agile?

What’s the reason for it not being answered yet…?

Love the game play atm having good matches I don’t mind AI bump offs tbh makes you work for victory :+1: (PS5)

But it is unrealistic, no team or player gets consistent hand offs and as I suggested a few times, it is even more unlikely if it is a double tackle. I think if its a double tackle an offload should go to ground or be knocked on.

Offloads, handoffs and nr9 pick up and go way to easy. No real rugby skill needed to win games. Defense also needs to be more responsive. Just attacking game now, too easy

Oh JNT, while you’re talking about promises, where is the 2023 World Cup ?

Cheers !!

ps: 7th september 2023… wow

Yes i agree 100% with what you said..
..this constant hand-off and offload by Ai is unrealistic making the game boring and unfair!Never in real life would you ever see players allways beating the first defender with a hand-off or just offloading ats they please.

squad sizes for international tours should be increased, also if a player is injured it should let us know before selecting them

Thank you BA for all your hard work on the game, Would be a nice thing if the ai controlled team made subs independently instead of having to make them for them, and are you planning on adding more competition to the game? Also will there be and update for the norther hemisphere teams for 2025/2026 season if the add and remove player isn’t going to be in the game

I disagree with some saying the game is easy. Playing on side camera which I prefer does make it harder automatically almost but I think the game is playing tough

I’d like to keep seeing the adding of animations like we have for try scoring, injuries etc be added for celebrating winning a tournament next , the addition of the Haka would be cool too

I don’t recall Big Ant promising we could edit teams (sadly) but as hard as it is without being able to add and remove players I believe we can have workarounds

Yeah would love to hear about this too…??
