Rugby 25 Megathread

@JNT_BA so my logos disappeared on my career mode for custom kits , should I log ticket for this? I literally updated all the super pacific teams with the super hero kits, its fine in play now, but in career the logos doesn’t appear, what should i do?

Hi Team,

Getting heaps of player feeezes in Super Rugby Pacific. It’s really frustrating when you trying to win the game because you can’t use your players to defend. I have played this match a number of times trying to win but crucial times to defend ruin me trying to win this game.

Also near the sideline when you press left L1 to pass sometimes, the ball goes right into touch.

PS5 - Hardest Difficulty. Coach Career - Western Force. I already got a Ticket lodged with some video links from yesterday Ticket 29936
Thanks Team.

I am still awaiting advice on a question I posed a few days ago now. I’m around 3-5 rounds into playing season mode with a few different leagues.

Currently I’ve been attempting to play a game in the 3rd Round of my URC season mode, Bulls v Ulster. Three times now the game has crashed midway through the 2nd half.

So, should I restart my seasons with brand new saves? Or try and persevere until a patch fixes this issue?

PC Steam hardest

The game needs some serious rebalancing.

I’m not sure what the point of having 5 men able to compete in the ruck is, when they simply stare at the breakdown, and only join in when the opposition scrum half has arrived and passed the ball. Why is there such a delay in joining the ruck?

Also, when the game determines that a turnover is going to happen, it almost always happens when the first player arrives, so again what exactly is the point of adding any further players. In EA the arriving players could actually turn the ball over. Why cannot this be combined so that overwhleming numbers added to the ruck can force a turnover?

Right now the AI can go 10 - 20 ruck phases no problem, due to the above issues. Even if you do join the ruck early, the AI can simply hold onto the ball.

The problem is when you try and hold the ball, you’re going to have a penalty against you for holding on. I have never seen a penalty awarded against the AI for holding on however. That makes no sense in a game with a holding on button.

i have also yet to see the AI given a penalty for a high tackle since the update, although i am getting 1 - 2 against me a game.

In additon to the passing bug that sends a pass into the next town, when you are trying to play fast, all too often your players block the pass from the scrum half. Its annoying and unecessary. Theres no reason for professional players to crowd around a ruck getting in the way of the ball.

There are also knock ons which are not given againt the AI, but are given against me.

Until the ruck logic actually rewards players arriving first, and avoiding running into isolation, along with stats of the player trying to turnover, the holding on button should be scrapped. It is just a cheap way for the AI to gain territory by penalties or hold onto the ball for multiple phases with impunity. Either that or penalties need to be evenly awarded against the AI, especially when they are complely isolated.

Can the team please urgently look into rebalancing the game, as i am forced to now kick 50-22s and just score off line outs and mauls. Trying to play more than a few phases just results in a turnover or a penalty for holding on (whether you tap or hold the button)

Finally, there is bug in that neither the player or AI can tackle a player from behind. Essentially unless you cut in from the side, you cannot tap or catch a player from behind. This results in props or any player literally going the length of the field, which is ridiculous.

Hi Team,

Just some observation with high tackles. I had a couple across a number of matches just 1 incident a match sometimes , with my own players only for now, but no yellow or red cards issued by referee, only Penalties in response. Not sure if cards are supposed to be issued from what was mentioned in Patch notes ? Thanks

Yes I’m having the same problem with my Guinness Premiership, I’ll try Simulating the Game it’s crashing on and see if crashes on the next round of matches, PS5 HARDEST

Aye let us know how you get on with that :+1:

It’s not just XBox, it’s needed on PS5 too. I bet it needs including on PC too.

The only licensing is the scoreboard, all grounds require pitch markings, advertising boards etc.

I can only guess that this will come in an update somewhere down the line.

I think for now though they really need to sort out gameplay, game crashes and bugs.

No pun intended with the word bugs :ant:.

Hi BA,

Series X Hardest

Just a quick one, playing as the All Blacks, my defensive line went MIA during the match, with only Telea on the wing and no one else.

Also, a few bullet passes into orbit which im sure youre aware of.

Lastly, advertising in all stadiums and on the pitch pleeeeease!

Can you make it so that when we play online and the opponent doesn’t touch their controller for 1 minute, for example, the match ends with an automatic disconnection and a victory, please? mcfc-tmThe-Guvnor is a specialist, for example, he just has a good record because he annoys people, but he doesn’t know how to play…
Sincerely

Agree with the issues with the forwards joining the breakdown too late three or four join when the ball has already been passed away by AI.

I Simmed the game that was crashing (Exeter v Newcastle) then played the next game and that was fine,

I agree, I also got him twice in online matches, and he doesn’t play, he waits and hope that his opponents will quit to get the win.

Ok cool :smiling_face_with_sunglasses: glad I didn’t delete my saves and start again.

I’ll just sum Bulls v Ulster and then carry on with my saves.

Many thanks for letting me know :+1::+1:

Hello Big Aunty,

seems you dropped a little patchy so i thought i’d give it a try ( you know, just in case… well, i guess i should know better by now…)

Steam Hardest, EA V1.0.3192, quick match playing as France

Can't touch this

So Ai runner breaks the first tackle then the support defender walks through the ball carrier without tackling him. On the chase i guess i was to far to catch up and tackle but why the hell does my number 15 run away from the ball carrier. If i control the chaser, i would like the AI controlled defenders to react accordingly. Anyways, even when in range the last defender wasn’t able to tackle, so i guess the game realized it was all wrong so the ball carrier did this:

Still Can't touch this

He ran all the way back to the start of the possession.
Of course my players still couldn’t tackle him.

Of course the game was stuck like that so i had to quit: probably the best thing to do with this game

Cheers

No worries if I encounter any issues I’ll let you know I’m on week 13 out of 18

Yes, I advised everyone on the forum to avoid him and a few others which play like that. If I match him, I just leave

Just had the same thing happen twice in the opening two AI phases, plus both of my own phases ended with passes to the wingers flying past them into touch. What on Earth is going on with the patches?
Playing on PS5, hard, quick match. And to add insult to injury, the AI still isn’t passing.
