Rugby 25 Megathread

Shocker.

This was not a turnover.

This kick went 5m

Players couldnt commit to the ruck so i was penalised.

AI fends first tackle, offloads the second. The only reason they score is because it takes AT LEAST two players to tackle them every. Single. Time. They just do this continuously until you run out of players to commit.

Lasted 2 and a half games before quiting.

I’m interested in buying it because it’s on sale for PS5. Is it playable enough to buy it now or is it better to wait for another time?

Please can be place kicking one of the main priorities to fix. It’s frustrating that most place kicks don’t travel further than 5m. Please fix it, makes scoring tries really underwhelming

Thought i would just chime in on the AI beating the first defender everytime. If you hold ‘Y’ on the tackle (instead of ‘B’) it prevents this 95% of the time. This is PC Steam on Hardest.

Try doing this:

1 - Hold the stick down to obtain the power level you want.
2 - On getting the power level (MUST be below the maximum red zone), immediately push up on the stick.
3 - ONCE PUSHED UP, DON’T LET GO OF THAT STICK UNTIL THE BALL IS IN THE AIR AND IS HALF WAY TO THE POSTS.

You have to stop the power meter before it reaches the maximum, otherwise you’ll do the ridiculous kick.
I can’t remember having missed a single kick (penalty or conversion) for months now.

Related to this. They have not been clear with the features they add with the updates.
After an up-and-under or a kick off, there is a red meter that, I presume, is some kind of contest for the ball. But I haven’t found an explanation on it. Maybe it is something they might add in the (far) future?

Same with scrums or mauls, side stepping, drop goals, etc. I discovered by accident that there is a substitution menu in ps5 using the touchpad!!! Did you guys know this?
Most of the times the sistem is broken, but the few thing they do right are poorly explained.

Why to all the conversions have to arc. AI’s go straight.

I’ve noticed something last night, and goodness knows this might be a stupid question, but I only noticed now?

Have we never been able to add a team downloaded from community to a custom tournament? I tried creating my own Currie Cup last night and when I choose my teams and toggle to Custom Teams, it’s empty.

After a crash, my career disappeared…

Thanks your right this has helped, however that is not how they advertise/tell you to kick the ball:

As shown above they suggest to move the left stick to choose the direction of the kick (correct) BUT they suggest you pull down the right stick to increase the power, NO WHERE does it state you can’t have it at max (incorrect) it then proceeds to tell you to FLICK (suggesting to basically as it says flick it up (push it up for a brief second) and then let go)) it doesn’t NOT tell you to hold don’t the right stick upwards and wait for the ball to go through the posts.

This is not a dig at you at all, I appreciate you sharing this information, but it’s the bad communication from big ants and that it is either a mistake on there end or bad communication

It had seem to have worked like how it states in the picture when they first changed the kicking mechanics, however in one update it had seemed to had change it and made it no work like it states in the picture.

I for one enjoy the game having close high scoring games, just need to be able to swap players to update teams

From what you’ve just shown it does appear that they haven’t put up best description. I guess this could be the problem a lot of people are having and all they are doing is following the instructions as they were shown. A flick in common gaming understanding is a short brief flick of the thumb stick in whatever direction is described. They need the word hold in there and also to say not to release until the ball is in the air.

Glad I was able to help with this and I agree Big Ant need to get some more helpful instructions and perhaps even some tips for the core game itself in some part of the training menu.

ABOUT: CUSTOM TEAM DELETED

I have had an issue of one of my custom teams being deleted. I have contacted Big Ants and they say they have no records of any of my teams being create bar one which is the first one I made.

Has anyone else had this problem or is it just me?

Dear Rugby Fans,

As we love League and hate Union, and as the release of RLL26 is approaching, there will be no Improved Stability this week.

Cheers :heart:

Oh dear! Looks like no patch today.
Steam usually gets updated around 7-8am UK time. Nothing so far.
