Show them devs how it’s done, JNT. You’re our only hope.
JNT focus purely on Rugby 25 is a positive for me.
But what does this mean

JNT only focusing on R25 is a good sign for gripsocks and for the return of memes

Ah i see you know your judo
So we will still get some more faces and stuff ?
I think I’ve said this before, but can’t remember, Rugby Union imo is one of the most hardest sports to translate into a video game.
There are an awful lot of game mechanics, various situations, set pieces, you name it which are dynamically changing all the time through a real game.
There’s no way any game developers can perfectly replicate that into a video game. I think BA have done a good job in trying to implement some of these aspects, but have also found it tough going with other areas at the same time.
I don’t see any other developer out there trying to put a Rugby Union game out. I think it’s great news that the likes of @JNT_BA are concentrating on Rugby 25 and not spreading their time across other games.
Look, I’ve voiced my concerns a long with others on here and sometimes that may have come across in a negative way. For that I do apologise.
Is the game in a good place right now? No. Will it be in a good place by years end? I don’t know. Do I want, and hope, it to be in a good place by years end? Yes of course I do.
Do i believe BA will carry on trying to make this a better game? Sure I do. Whether they succeed or not time will only tell. I’m sure they will try their best.
You guys have my support, and if the updates drop to say once a month or longer, at least that gives you time to really get stuck into improving the game. I believe a week is far too short a time to make a noticeable difference.
This is probably why people, including myself, feel that we can’t seem to see any improvement. Anyway I’ve rambled on enough.
Like with Cricket 24, and Tie Break before it, I’m hopeful that Rugby 25 will see better days.
Many thanks

Just saw this on previous patch notes
I thought the new kicking wasn’t a new mechanism and was instead a bug according to JNT?
So it was a new mechanic or it wasn’t?
Point per minute for ABs vs Canada is actually pretty realistic. Bit of a shame about the rest though. Surely playing one whole game before releasing the patch isn’t too much to ask?
Not for Canada though.

Bit of a mix bag here.
Game seems smoother… passing, running, running with the 9 seems all better.
I like the improved box kick mechanic.
Better kicking by the Ai.
But we gained a new bug, like scrum half stuck in the ruck.
Also still no urgency of kicking the ball in their own 10 Meters by AI. Or maybe there is urgency but unfortunately AI is told to try kick the ball with the 10 even tho there no space to do it.
So let AI do the 10 axis and do a kick will beeing still, or just do a box kick.
No big bug seems to be resolved.
Still some random fauls been assigned, advantage not always working as intended.
Ball boucing endlessly.
In penalty kick and conversion is incredibely horrible seeing the ball do 5 meters even with full charge bar…
Would love to see if i do a wrong flick with right stick or if i under or over charge the kick to let the kick tragectory to be slightly changed both in direction and maxim height.
So maybe a overcharged kick will be a higher kick but shorter overall, under changer will not the high (but still a reasonable kick). A wrong flick maybe would let the ball swing either right or left.

Allianz/Twickenham has had the O2 branding since launch Val. Big Ant need to change the Umbro logos out for Castore once the RFU sign off on everything though.

It’s making the game so frustrating!!! @JNT_BA fix ball stuck in rucks and mauls
Most likely yes. Im looking at it right now and trying to work out what the cause of it may be as its not consistent(for me). I think I have an idea on what it would be.

glad you added (for me) because it happened about 10 times in one game for me… Any chance for Patch Notes as well @JNT_BA
