Rugby 25 Megathread

I haven’t played the new update yet, but only reading the patch notes is enough to realise we have to now move on from adjusting rucks. The problem with the backs not joining would have probably been solved designating a button to add backs to the ruck. Sometimes they seem to overcomplicate things, but what do I know.
There are too many aspects needing improving/fixing, specially backs positioning in attack and running lines, like some have mentioned before. It is time to start ticking some more boxes. Correct aplication of rules (specially offsides), calling a mark, knock ons, high tackles, set plays.
I thought that this weekly updates would bring bigger changes every time. I’m hoping that they’re working on the other aspects too but they take longer to develop.

Would be nice to know, but I guess that is too much to ask

Hitting the nail right on the coffin. Move on from rucks and sort the other 50 odd issues out first, then come back and adjust rucks again.

Everyone’s asked this mate but haven’t had a reply yet, I’m guessing it’s either gonna be a waiting game for the tour to start like what it was with the women’s six nations this year or we won’t get it but who knows, the no reply to me means it’s just a wait and see as if they didn’t have it then surely they’d say no we don’t have the rights for it.

@JNT_BA @Lachie_BA is this a wait and see kinda thing?

Hopefully we do though, would love it.

Exactly, switched to one update a week so more work could be done, but the same amount of changes are happening. Wont be long before they fizzle out completely

In my opinion, maybe they are waiting for the end of the various championships to be able to let us modify the rosters. After that, it is only my opinion. In any case, the championships end for the most part in 1 month and after that the rosters will no longer be up to date. In any case, it is a matter of the longevity of the game, failing to have a very high quality game, if they want to keep their player base, they will have to at some point give us the possibility of modifying the rosters

If a question. If BigAnt have the licenses which they do would that license allow them to open up the teams to be able to add and remove players?

Played one game on new update. Ps5 hardest difficulty new zealand v australia. Rucks as good as they have ever been. Defense AI very good hard to breakdown. Game ended 7 - 0.

But this game is still missing what makes a game enjoyable attack. Scoring trys and high scoring games is what we want. The AI has absolutely no attacking threat still. Backwards passing, no foreward momentum, no line breaks, one pass or if your lucky two passes by AI but most likely a mile backwards. I feel they have slowed down the pace of players creating an even more boring game.

Clearly BA are unable to figure out how to sort this issue as it has been one since the very beginning since release.

Trying to keep us happy by adding a cut scene for player subs is not going to cut it BA.

And the absolute silence from them in relation to such a glaring problem is probably the most frustrating thing of all.

Another week of dissapointment. If any of you are hoping for an improved game dont bother its the same dull and boring game it has been since release.

So stability has gone backwards getting kicked out of the game mid game(xbox one x ). Also any update on the speedup of sidestep and 360??? @JNT_BA

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 today’s patch, I haven’t 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 don’t want trees anymore

Hello, I completely agree, you summed up the problem well: :police_car_light:
no line breaks in attack, which makes
the AI ​​in attack ineffective, not enough passing, kicking, drop shots, etc. :rugby_football:

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.

Yeah, the game is still crap…….

Honestly how are they lacking in the ability to make this game even semi fun?

It is just a broken mess and one they don’t seem able to fix

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 :rofl:

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 (don’t know how to do it) but you’ll get a lot of low scoring matches, and the user needs to get more penalties, PS5 HARDEST SIDE CAMERA
