Rugby 25 Megathread

And pressing the wrong button can result in a penalty like joining from the side

Custom camera settings would solve everything talked about above. There are plenty of spaces in the menus almost like they planned to have more options. We need sliders for Height and Zoom at least.

From Ross!!

I am overseas ATM but I will be having a big focus on #Rugby25 when I return to the office. The past two weeks has not been good for the game, we will make it up to everyone.

I hope it’s not something tacky like the nameplate thing AFL 26 got. I just want a decent working game

Exactly.. means ppl have to practice to get good

With Ross saying that, or potentially saying that, I shall wait it out another few weeks.

I guess we will see if he puts his money where his mouth is.

Sorry that sounds blunt and direct, and I mean no personal offence, but I’ve seen far too many devs, and people in general let me down.

Let’s see if he breaks the mould.

I hope he does, him and his team, I seriously hope they do, but I’m not so sure atm.

Yeah I am on the same page. My mind boggles still as to how Rugby 25 went from being the most promising rugby game of all time to the biggest let down of all time. I always had faith because of Big Ants track record with their finished games.

No personal attack at Ross or JNT or any of the staff there, I am sure their intentions are good. I mean no business tries to fail. But man, the result just doesn’t fit in with the rest of their games. Very very very poor.

I am sure everyone hopes they can turn it around. It is just the past couple of years that implies it will be unlikely at this point though.

:crossed_fingers: I guess.

Quand Mega Patch.

With people that can’t access manage logos, are you guys on console because I can’t access it and I’m on ps5. It’s starting to get frustrating because I can’t edit or share logos. Also I cannot stress how much I want to add the real players to custom teams. All the filter stuff is there for it. I am currently trying to make the British and Irish lions and don’t really want to make all the players. I also want to edit players because some if the players are so far off its better for players to make them.

I really hope the best for this game but is hard to suppory it if ever update is ‘updated stability’ when there are french teams not scanned and tons of things missing that you woukd think that would be in the game LIKE SET PLAYS (and please can we get grip socks)

I’m on PS5, but I think each platform are currently running different builds from how various folk are talking.

So it’s hard to gauge who’s having what issues on which platform, and with which patch currently.

My gut says it’s not Big Ant :ant: themselves. I play Cricket 24, Tie-Break, and their other games such as RLL4. I have such a blast on those games as they are absolutely bosting. (Awesome, good etc)

I get the feeling Ross and the teams hands are tied as to what they can do or allowed to do.

Rugby 25 is certainly the odd anomaly out when it comes to Big Ant :ant: games. I’ve played no end of them all the way back to DB14 and RC3. They are all good so it is certainly a change, sadly, from the normal stuff they develop.

As I say I really hope they turn it around I really do. They have in the past. But for now I will refrain from playing and keep an eye out what happens over the coming weeks.

Anyone fancy a game?

I love how much this game is getting better, went from unplayable on release day to actually becoming one of my favourite games at the moment that I’m sinking hours into.

There’s a few bugs such as some offload bugs where it throws the ball out of the pitch at a thousand miles an hour, but other than that the game is very enjoyable.

Only issues I have is that career mode feels really empty, it’s by far the most fun and involving mode but there isn’t really much to do. Its wrong to compare to a company and game like FC25 that seem to have an endless budget, but their career modes seem so much fuller. You can negotiate contracts in person, or have trophy lifts when you win a trophy, but just in general there are so many fun little interactions that make it extra special.

Rugby 25 looks a long way away from being a game like FC25, but with how much progress this game has had, I can only hope it stays on it’s current track.

-Thank you Big Ant.

Note: I love that we can customise clubs kits and actually if we wanted to make kits for teams if were doing multi-season career modes. This game really has potential.

As if the last 3 months have been acceptable… best thing to do for us would be a roadmap for realistic expectations and we can adjust feedback accordingly.

@JNT_BA Please, I don’t want automatic substitutions when an injury occur in the team I’m controlling. You might prefer another option from the bench than the automatic one.

Are you blind? The game, after 3 years of developpment, doesn’t even include the rules!
You play it as a witness, never an actor, cause you can’t decide how your team will play. You can’t form a maul. You can’t defend. You can’t structure a lineout etc.
I sincerely don’t know how is it possible to feel fun in that.

Yes! The game should simply at least pause on an injury and bring up the lineup screen so you can make a substitution like emalmost every sports game. Better yet, let play continue eith injured player down on the pitch til a stoppage. It was fun in Rugby 08 to see if the injured guy would get run over lol.

Hi Team,

I must say I playing a URC finals series at the moment with Stormers and it’s pretty dull. PS5 , Hardest Difficulty.

Ai lucky if they score one Try. Opposition Ai Glasgow, Leinster.

The Ai just not running to the try line enough , always passing and offloading when they might have space to gain a lot more ground through a defensive gap. As a rugby YouTuber , trying to post the full game for people to watch it just looks boring, and just not enough things happening in the match. No high tackles or penalties, 50/20’s. Controlling a team it’s hard to do Bump offs. Ai defence though is strong and this is a positive.

I am glad Ross wants to put a focus on Rugby 25 in the future to try to fix things. As a content creator I feel interest across YouTube is going down in people wanting to watch Rugby 25 matches for curiosity if they don’t own the game or entertainment value. I am starting to be unsure how long I will keep showing content for the near future.

Hmm interesting statement from Ross. Probably has noticed the one thing fixed, one thing broken.

Gameplay is what people want. I’ve been outvoted I think resources should go into academy

But I respect the community and the majority want gameplay fixes.

I’m just unsure what they can do to get it to a point people want I feel that’s more likely Rugby 27
