Xbox Series X, playing on hardest.
Get tackled behind tryline, player lays ball back. End of half, no try.
This is after latest patch today.

2 things seems like the players dont try to reach for the try no more when on the try line.second can we please get a adjustment on handoff and bump off success rate. As 100% handoff and bump off is too high.maybe a 50/50 or so. Are you guys working on sidestep and 360? As in this state its useless not worth trying. BTW like the new update!!! @JNT_BA

I think It was just to sort the Framerate out ?

Been away from the game for about 2-3 weeks.
The game seems to be progressing in the right direction albeit slowly.
However with Rugby League just around the corner, I wonder if the support will continue for this game.
I hope so, but it is a difficult sport to translate into a video game.
I never played the games that EA produced back in the 2000ās so I cannot comment on those.
I can only go on what others, who did play those, say about them. What they do say is all positive.
So perhaps the devs can take a look at those games for ideas on gameplay?
But the game seems better than last time I played.
Iāll take a look in another few weeks.

Hello Big Aunty,
about latest patch, trying not to focus on gameplay:
the addition of the team selection prior to a competition is finally here ! Weāve been asking for this feature for ages, now that itās here at last, itās very enjoyable and adds a lot of immersion going into a comp being able to play only the selected team. I believe itās still a work in progress, still i hope we will soon see the team composition displayed next to the team selection so we can see what players they have (i dont know every team). I do think that before or after the team selection you should also choose the difficutly of the competition you will be playing and the option to have stamina managment and injuries carried on for the duration of the competition. I donāt like playing with stamina affecting competitions over rounds, but iām sure lots of players would love that feature. Same with injured players. Iām happy to be able to hurt some players real bad (even if the gameplay mechanic isnt there yet) even my own, but i like to play my competitions arcade style, with full stamina and all my players. Even though i like to play it that way, iām sure the option to have stamina and player injuries impact the whole competition might interest a lot of R25 players, maybe even me if it works fine and adds depth to the competition.
Now during games, the french commentators are supposed to be good as they are the top french rugby commmentators but hell were they sleepy during this recording session. The tone isnt perfect but worse than that, the script is usually wrong ! When you kick in touch after a penalty, the commentators are always bashing you as if you missed the kickā¦when i finish a game they always say i won silly championship iāve never payed or watchedā¦ comments are really a hype killer, thatās too bad too.
Still a lot of small issues that have been reported for ages, like after a penalty, the buttons shown for the number of players in the lineout are shown wrong, clock and score disappering during kick offsā¦ many early acces small user interface issues that have never been addressed and are still there, even thought they are not gameplay nor photogrametry nor licensing so i really wonder what the excuse is gonna be for those.
And finally bypassesā¦ your bypasses to workaround things not working instead of repairing them is really annoying. Like the menu glitch which makes you scroll at hyperspeed, now you press X to jump back to your game day but we still cant scroll through the competition calendarā¦ so yeeha, you made a bypass but the problem is still thereā¦
Same thing with close line defense and 5 meter dives. So the solution you gave us was to prevent the dive before the line, when the problem is that you canāt defend a dive at all. So if you dive, youāre sure to score, but if you get tackled and clearly ground the ball, itās not a try cause you just HAD to diveā¦ Bypasses repair nothing, they usually create more problems while the initial problem remains.
Cheers !!

Gameās better than yesterday, but not sure if anyone has got this problem. On hardest Iām physically unable to score a try when at the try line after my scrum-half picks & goes. Despite the prompts, I get held up (on one occasion the AI jackaled the ball when it should have been held up). Meanwhile when less than 5m out I canāt tackle the AI and stop the try since yesterday. My players will catch up to them and even run into them, but not tackle despite the prompts. Wondering if anyone else has come across this or if itās just me?
Played a few games on Hardest and Easiest today. Iāve noticed that a few times on Hardest only that passes and offloads will go straight out of play on the full or for some reason go far behind about 30+ metres back. Kills attacking momentum which is always frustrating, especially when you can still get easily turned over while having 1/2 defenders easily palmed off or just standing around doing nothing. Doesnāt help when forward passes by the AI going 10m in front arenāt being called, especially when itās by the tryline.
āGameās better than yesterdayā?
Has there actually been a small patch since Wednesday that I didnāt notice install? I did play a game last night and noticed less frame drops and less animation glitches too, but unsure if it was just one game where things were better or if that aspect has been patched.
Seems as if thereās been a patch although Iāve not got a notification on my console about it. The framerate is much better now, as yesterday it was in an unplayable state. Probably just that and maybe some tiny things that arenāt too noticeable on first sight. Think the rucks are slightly more winnable than they were yesterday.
Still got my fair share of frustrations about it though, as at the moment my kicks seem to be unchangeable in the target area, and when in the past holding onto the button for too long would mean it wouldnāt kick, itās kicking anyway.

I know you guys implemented the āPlay As One Teamā in competition/tournament modes, but its still not doing it justice to be honest, because why canāt it be like the career mode home screen, with all the tabs like managing your squad etc? With the normal competition again Players get injured in a game, but the next game they are fine again, which shouldnt happen in a Competition, we should be able to leave those injured players out and replace them,
Can you perhaps look at that as well, also still our player in the pocket still runs towards the ball.
Please look at the try animations as well, some of these dives doesnt even happen in Rugby Union, why are we not able to just put the ball down like normally
And why is there no update with regards to editing/adding players to teams? We still cant remove players,
Please add other custom tournaments as well, like touring

Over the try line, called for āHeld Upā
@JNT_BA please make it make sense,
Also when we said that we want the AI to keep the ball when they are behind instead of kicking it out on half time or full time, we didnt mean they should play for 20 minutes past half time and not kick out if they are in the lead or on the same score, why canāt you guys adjust these things properly? And fix the commentary! All kicks in the commentators opinion are bad, doesnt make sense

Hi all. Where is the section to report some bugs ?
There is some problems with french stadiums.
Oyonnax has wrong name, brive a ghost stadium (stade de brive not in game menus) and Lyon Ā“s stadium Ā« stade de Lyon Ā« is not the good stadium in game.
Thank you
What I have realised with the āHold Ballā button, if I press it multiple times, say like 5 times, a prompt on the screen says āRELEASE ā which I think is the right concept, but for the wrong team, it should be for the Defending team, so that they should release te ball if ruck is already formed, perhaps you can look at that, and adjust this to the defending side, and so one can compete at the ruck until it says āReleaseā or get penalised for Hands in the ruck, but also the Attacking team can then be penalised also for holding on,
Also, the trajectory for Kick offs needs to adjusted to higher and a bit further, it doesnt give defenders enough time to get under the ball to perhaps win it back from a kick off,
Also, i see a career mode for Player in Cricket 24 that seems so advanced, how have you not thought of this for Rugby 25. Anyway, please also make this game a bit more realistic with dirt on the jerseys etc, players cant always be clean.
Also a Man of the Match after the game will be good as well, and letting the captain run out first, and being able to choose long range and short range kickers, also being able to change Captain in game when the captain gets subbed.
Where is the āhandbagsā scenes, where guys are in a scuffel, Kickers showing to Post and Refs actually doing the animation. Also Change the unbind button on defense, because it just change between players in the ruck

Havenāt played the game in over a month, maybe two but has the transfer system been updated yet so you can actually sell your guys and people offer on them?
Last I played it was just transfer listing them and nothing happened.
Biggest items we need added to the game soon:
- Ability to play all competitions listed in the career menus with custom settings (pools, etc.)
- Custom camera settings, including more angles
- Custom pitch and field markings
- More womenās teams
- Full editing of teams and players
- SLIDERS (Kicking distance, penalties, player speed most important)
- Set plays

I personally think the AI isnāt smart enough therefore making it very easy to play against on the hardest mode. It needs to ability to do everything the player can if not more on hardest.
