Not necessarily, the agreement with the players/teams may stipulate that they cant be changed.
This is really shocking , the way the game is going !!! well actually we should say what game as its still in a developing stage ! It seems like the game only gets fixed based on whatever gets mentioned in this group , well 50% of it , I am asking myself this , how do you release a game that is not playable , and try fixing it as we go on , i mean come on ! i dont know of any other game that was ever released like this , well any other game not made by BA , is it so difficult to play other Rugby games and improved from there to make it better , thats something i would do if making something well anything better . I dont know how anyone can say the game is getting better , its NOT RUGBY and all the guys on here who played RUGBY and know RUGBY will agree ! at this stage fixing gameplay first before anything else is not going to work , thats why you release the game on EA first so when ready for Final release , the game can be played !
Even if this is a first stage of maybe getting the next game after this one correct , i wont invest . I am playing it on PS5 ,WELL WAS PLAYING IT , deleted it and waited , re installed giving it a try again , frustrating !! its down to 1 update a week , then we will see 1 every 2 weeks , then 1 a month , then it will get lost and BOOM !! Rugby 26 or 27 will be announced ! Like the one before was okey , was the best game and this one will be better , ADD a cutscene of the best Rugby game ever with this added and that added , TRAILER IS WHAT SELLS IT , Soon it will be like this . Wow !!! Sorry guys we will look into this but at the moment we busy with Rugby 26 .

Following todayâs patch, I havenât played but by reading the Patch Note: When Patch ?
@JNT_BA, I guess the R25 Photogrammetry Team and the R25 Career Team are cooking something sooooo big, as we had nothing since October 126th.
Regarding the Gameplay, I have the feeling that it is only minor things asked in the forum that are changed.
Thanks to Matt and the R25 gameplay Team for this 50th Improved Stability.
When Patch? When October 127th? When Bangladesh Div 10 ? When Gripsocks ?
PS: I donât want trees anymore

Hello, I completely agree, you summed up the problem well: 
no line breaks in attack, which makes
the AI ââin attack ineffective, not enough passing, kicking, drop shots, etc. 
I also am wondering what is issue with being able to edit teams. When game was first released i could add players to leinster etc. But now i am not?
This game really promoted its full licencing and also has a large customisation option which is irrelevant as it is unable to work?
Its been months now what is the issue? Why release a game with these options but not being able to use them? And why has it not been fixed?
This game is a mess that should not of been released and BA are a wall of silence in relation to it.
Can any feedback at all be given to us customers in relation to this? I did not pay for ea and i was expecting a complete game. I wasnt expecting a fifa standard game but i atleast expected to be able to play it and somewhat enjoy it and for the game to be complete and be able to use all the functions that the game promised to offer.

Bumping issue of training improvements working in game eg overall/stats increasing, but then still not showing on lineup/squad/contract/international squad scenes. Been mentioning for months now.
I guess they are cooking the career for RugbyLeague game !

Patch notes show nothing of worth, not reinstalling the game for that 
Can we get something of substance done on this game before it dies off as one of the worst rugby games ever?
Please and thank you.

I quite like the update tbh, speed of the players just about right rucking ok, AI making good choices the animation on subscription looks ok, just need (donât know how to do it) but youâll get a lot of low scoring matches, and the user needs to get more penalties, PS5 HARDEST SIDE CAMERA

Game is somewhat playable again but any early release version was better. Give us sliders now! Game speed, forward speed, backs speed, kicking distance, kicking Accuracy. Ruck speed, turnover rate, etc..
Give us all leagues to be playable and unlimited editing and transfer of players.
Whats taking so long to mark a pitch?
Sub cutscenes are nice.

I also appreciate this update. No big revolution but from one week to the next you shouldnât expect a revolution every week. I see that overall the game is progressing and thatâs the main thing. Now we have to take care of the kicks on goal which have become too easy again. The AI ââis progressing but itâs still too easy. We have to space out the players in the offensive line. Speed ââup the side step animations and the 360 ââdegrees. And of course, modify the teams please
Im not falling in this âseparate teams for separate gamesâ ! As we all see ,the moment tiebreak went to a good state ,they started to put more work for rugby25 ! Now they have afl26 to work a bit on it after the release (thanks God) wich lead us to 1update/week and also new RugbyLeague game and Cricket are coming (depends by the state off the release ) will lead us to 1-2 updates/month !
I dont imagine the "tennis team " now chilling (since the work is almost done) ,or a Rugby League team not doing nothing for so many years ,its nonprofitable !

Progressing is the main thing for you?
That is not the main thing to me lol. Game has been âprogressingâ since 2023. Those excuses of just give it time are far gone. This game has been released as a full priced product for months and itâs just the worst. Minor improvements made while ignoring all the big stuff asked for.
I also hear a few people say at least 27 Or 29 will be a great game, at least itâs a base for a great game. Also not a good enough excuse for charging people full price for a sub par product.
It is still a broken buggy mess which defies rugby laws and the laws of physics too often to be considered a finished game.
Main thing for me is GIFs ⌠and I canât post any in here. Very upset.

The gameplay loop isnât fun.
Another week and another update that was fixing last weeks update issues. 11 months since EA on steam and even longer from when Ross tweeting he was having fun playing the game in the office. The rules arenât fully implemented into the game yet! This is so wild!
Career mode is awful. Nothing is explained. I had to watch Bears Gamer explain it all only to find out you get 10 stars at the start of every season and only then can you change your coaching, recruiting and recovery staff. There is no point of having this if I canât max out my staff. I earn points from weekly challenges that do nothing either. Player progression isnât explained. Doing training session only gives them a boost for the upcoming game. There is no indication they have gone up in overall. A simple green or red up or down arrow to show the changes.
Serious changes need to be made but they will never come. It is always fix one thing â makes game worse â repair update â game is kinda ok now â update again â game breaks and repeat.

Why oh why are proper rules not implemented yet?? On MadDragonsâs video, an AI player is offside, and MadDragon is running towards the try line, against the offside player, and suddenly a penalty. The offside advantage was fine, but allow offside players to defend/tackle and let the advantage go on!!!
Why when MadDragon took a Tap and Go from the penalty, the AI back three players came running out from the CROWD to defend, like what the heck is that??
Implement correct rules! This is no AFL/RUGBY League game, if so, change the name, but this is the buggiest so called âRugbyâ Union game ever. We as rugby enthusiasts are so frustrated with what you are not doing!

I asked the Devs about pitch branding in March, when Womens games were introduced via a ticket (strongly advise the community to lodge bug reports, issues with AI etc via the support site as well as on here too). Each individual brand has to sign off on their appearances in the game, itâs why W6N has the Guinness logo etc but M6N doesnât. To put it simply itâs a licensing nightmare based on what support said back then.

The feedback is not good. The anger is clear.
Iâm disappointed we cannot edit teams it makes our job harder to remove players without a face you canât really do this yet
Iâm devastated for the community

Thanks for the context. If this is true, then why did Rugby Challenge 4 have all logos on the pitch in every competition? At this point I would take simply a competition logo in the middle of the pitch.
