Mostly noticed it from passes out of the ruck, the player receiving the passes suddenly snaps into place to get the ball without really making any movement beforehand

I am a contstant advocate of ātrophy roomā styles of things. I think the individual teams hate how often I bring that up when we work on new titles.

We should probably open a thread on it here. I think youād have massive support from the fan base about that!
Obviously fixing gameplay is number 1, but that would be a really awesome feature!

I also had this one, but I was not sure if it was after a tackle or an offload
Think thereās an hard balance in Gameplay for BA tbh, there are players who are really good and Players who are just Average at it, so Iād think sliders coming int to play to adjust gameplay would be helpful @JNT_BA

Really would like overall (endurance) and aerobic (sprint) stamina to deplete throughout the match and negatively impact (see below) the player. No player should feel 100% after half time or nearing fulltime.
Attack:
- Ball spills (concentration/focus)
- Inaccurate passing
- Reduced player reaction time ,run speed and sprint speed inversely proportionate to fatigue level ie; 50% stamina reduction = 25% reduction in player speed/reaction time.
- Reduced ability to get into attacking shape/structure/ruck /maul etc..
- Reduced overall situational awareness
- Reduced kicking power/accuracy
- increase chance of injury
Defence
- Reduced ability to make successful tackle/hold player
- Reduced ability to get back on side into position
- Reduced reaction time, running and sprint speed
- Increase chance of injury
These effects could have a toggle on or off but if selected it should be noticeable and generally force a substitution. Different players could have varied weighting to be prone to the effects of fatigue..anyway just some ideas for now

Iām still here not had a break like I said I would. Quick question for you if I may.
Did we get any patch notes for yesterday at all?
What Iām going to do is try on Play Now using my same settings as for my Season modes. Just see if that makes any difference to the AI. In other sports titles such as Madden and CFB 25 it did make a difference weirdly enough.
Iāll go through the range of difficulties as well. Iāll let you know what I find.
Actually, I think itās both
AI canāt actually do a 2V1, seems like itās only randoms offloads and it scores only with breaking the defence and not by creating space with good pass structurs.
I think you guys should employ @Bapean and @Kap_Cha_42 these guys are doing amazing work with the playfaces well done guys some of those playfaces looks fire

@JNT_BA Here you go
Iāve found some other bugs as well
This bug above I call the Casper the friendly ghost bug, heās lifting the shield on URC career mode.
A couple more from kick offs where when you try to pass the ball just goes anywhere, usually out of the stadium.
Iāve also noticed thisā¦
A lot of forward passes are happening since the new update and not getting penalised for it.
Anyway hope this helps.

We got patch notes at 1.30pm UK time yesterday - theyāre on Rugby 25 socials and the Steam page.
Iām not on Steam Iām on PS5. I may be blind though as I canāt see them on here.
For the benefit of those who missed them then - hereās the patch notes for April 15th straight from the Steam page.
Balanced Evasion Effectiveness
- Tackle avoidance via Sidesteps and Fends have been balanced.
Corrected Defensive Try Area Kicks
- Corrected occurrences of inability to kick the ball when in the defensive try area.
Improved Play Now Settings
- Home grounds will now be selected by default when starting a Play Now match.
Improved Stability
- Resolutions to stability issues reported to our support team have been included in this patch.

Played a few games offline yesterday and definitely think the bugs mentioned above are more present then pre patch but I will not go into depth as they are fleshed out above.
I just want to reiterate, if the AI does not kick to relieve pressure or put on pressure, this will never reflect rugby union. For example, any rugby union team (amateur/professional) will kick the ball from their 5m line. The AI only does this sometimes, however, it should be first portocall, similarly, if the kicker in the pocket did not run onto the ball, this would be easier for the AI. AI also needs to kick into the backfield if you leave space.
Still, the only way for me to lose to the AI is by me purposefully trying cross field kicks, chips and grubbers which they dont, and I have to do that to keep the game entertaining, if not, it is just a pressing x simulator then spamming for a turnover.
@JNT_BA Let us know if we can assist with some of this logic, because I think everyone in this thread agrees on the AI lacking some ārugby brainā. Also, still praying for some attention to online defending and online play in general! We are 17 updates in now.
Anyone at BA test @JNT_BA?
Whatās more this is a full release game & just plain wrong. You must understand peopleās frustration.
Wow , shocking !! really bad , well maybe all this will be sorted at patch 50 !!! , My Ps5 Rugby 25 game is put away until game is fixed , still enjoying my RC4 . Gameplay is alot better ! if we had the Gameplay of RC4 with this animations , and all the Teams with new kits like in Rugby 25 , Best game ever !!

Here again.
Played some more matches.
I canāt understand how Offside still doesnāt work after 1 year of patching this game.
I now is more than this but after all is just drawing a line and saying what player can and cannot be after that line.
Ai 9 while Box kicking is, most of the time, tackled, ugly to see and unrealistic as it is very difficult to do.
Also on box kicking why the 9 move so far away from theruck yo kick?
Can you please remove the RT/LT forward pass? Is useless and most times doesnāt even work and cause problemsā¦
Tackling while making a try animation has to be solved. Either make it better or just donāt allow to tackle after animation try is initiated.
Quick throw is broke.
Fatigue is totally broken now, never ever i need to replace a player in match since no one really goes below 80% of energy.
In general, take the courage to just put more developer to work on the game.
Seems that no enough people are working on thisā¦

When literally most gameplay updates are just adjusting sliders, there is no real work being done. Stepping back, we are 17 updates in and has there been much progress? I would say the most progress is related to stability, which should not have been an issue from the jump.

I have given up on this game now 17 updates and game has not improved at all. Going back and forth with small changes and still unable to use many parts of the game which was advertised in the game. Hopefully someday we will get a decent rugby game. But for now rugby 25 is added to the list of failed attempts. I understand the difficultys of making a rugby game and that ba is not a big company like ea. But i must say i will never but a ba game again. Falsely advetised a finished game. Used fully licencing to mask a broken unfinished game. Charged full price for a game still in early access. No update or plan going forward. Silence from ba in relation to this and this page is irrelevant to what is happening with the game as week after week problems are put on this forum and constantly ignored.
