Tried to play a competition and went to edit lineups and its stuck on my screen. Exited match still on my screen and took disk out put it back in and still stuck on my screen. I can still do things like create players and that but hard to when you have player lineups on your screen @JNT_BA can you please fix it?
Havenāt played in months, so the game any good yet?
True but they also get unfair advantages that the player doesnāt. Such as knock-ons, forward passes and offsides not being called for them, while they can knock down 1 or 2 players at ease before going on big breaks, while the defence open up for them or just stand there. Also the fact that they can easily turnover the ball within one or two phases after you won the ball, usually by the trylines. Iād rather have those unfair advantages sorted out first. That and the fact that the AI players no matter how slow they should be are seemingly outpacing anyone.
Played a few games over the weekend. Most Iāve played since EA. To be fair the game is getting better. A few things that need fixing
Player attack positioning - support runners are way to deep.
Line out and scrums. - they just donāt work properly
Set plays.
AI still a bit naff.
Would also love to see far away camera angle when kicking off and kicking to touch. Not a big fan of the current camera angle. To close for me.

I really think if they donāt sort the game soon or offer some form of discount on other functioning BA products or their next attempt at Rugby that people just boycott BA products. This isnāt a Demo and people habe forked out reasonable amounts of cash for this
Shameful BA.

Have played it a few times since the weekend patch (PS5 Side-Camera) and some things have obviously improved.
Frame Rate - Seems to have improved immensely.
Animation Errors - These seem to have been cut down a lot, perhaps frame rate was a cause, but Iām sure Iāve still seen one or two.
Kicking - It seems more or less back to where it was, which Iād call acceptable, but not great.
So, well done on that patch BA. A step forward without too much in the way of any steps back.
There are still some issues that are recent or introduced.
1 - There is an issue when someone tries to score a try from a certain distance from the line. I suppose Iād best describe it as being very close to on the line itself. The game often does not register the input for a certain distance around the line and you have to be careful not to run dead.
2 - There are a lot more intercepts now. This seems to be caused by allowing players more freedom to cross the advantage line during open play. Obviously you do want this to be a possibility as intercepts happen in the real life game and also offsides from being on the wrong side of the advantage line and tackling and/or interfering with the play. Although whatever has been changed from how it was, I would hope there was a āhalf measureā from where it is now. It is still important to be able to be offside in open play, or drift through from defence and possibly get an intercept, but right now itās been changed a bit too much.
3 - Iām not too bothered by the Goal kicking system, I can kick them fine all the time now, but I know many others are having issues getting the ball to travel. For me the issue is that most goal kicks are far too easy to read for wind and itās too easy to nail any power from half up to full before it hits the top line of the red player circle. Iād prefer an accuracy target to hit too, which could either be at the top or the bottom of the bar.
4 - General Play Kicking. Iām really hoping that without mucking up the kicking system again as happened last week, that we could be given a little more power (5-10m) from our kicks. Right now Iām playing game after game with friends or the AI and finding that itās much better not to tactically kick. You donāt get enough distance to warrant it at all, and your opposition will make most of that distance back as soon as they catch the ball.
5 - Tackling. Tackling is a problem in this game. It doesnāt matter if you go early, or what looks to be well timed, or if you tackle late, youāll get the same result. Either an effective tackle or fended off. It doesnāt seem to matter your timing, it doesnāt seem to effect the chance of a high tackle or anything, your timing as a tackler doesnāt really seem to come into it at all. Also, the DIVE TACKLE. Why put in there? It has no range at all, when players are running towards the try line and you get close cover-defending, thereās no point pushing dive tackle as you simply will have the attacking player continue to move away from you and youāll go splat on the ground. There needs to be some range to it and it also seems weaker than the normal tackle, which is sad because thereās no reward for trying it. Iād prefer it was stronger as itās harder to achieve from a gaming perspective.
Thatās just another of my long posts, but thanks for what work has been going on lately. It is slowly getting better now. I hope you have some great things coming in future updates!

I feel like the player stats doesnāt matter and it should. For example if you have a high tackle stat then it should be harder for players to bump you especially if they have a low fend stat. And some forwards like Hanekom is faster than some of the backs and I feel like the stats should reflect that and it should show when playing the game. Also I feel there is no momentum or physicality in the game I want to see proper carries and I want to feel the collisions and tackles but it doesnāt feel like a rugby experience it feels like empty bodies with the same stats according to what position they play. I think there should be higher focus on the feel of the game. I feel like it can be slowed down a bit and to get you kicks away and to really make the physicality a thing in the game. Also the stepping animation is not working at all because they step too slow and another player then tackles you from behind look at Kurt-lee and Kolbe for example they step with speed.

They need to sort the edit teams and customisation. The game is boring and dull and i find myself only being able to play a game or two.
Needs to offer more charged us full price promising a full licenced game and community for customisation. Yet we have very little player face scans, dull stadiums with no life and customisation and community is non existent.
I understand the gameplay has been awful and they are trying to improve but i think the lack of substance in the game is just as big an issue.
Hopefully they start making improvements to that side of the game.
Although from my experience all of this falls on deaf ears and nothing will happen.

Might be that the "separate union team " is helping āseparate league teamā for the last 200m and than they will come back together to polish rugby25
Ps: after the last update ive seen AI performing nice setplays with decoy runners 
! I would love to have a taste of that as a User Player !

@JNT_BA what happened to the rain graphics? I remember there was that one update where it actually looked like rain and felt like it had a effect on the game, now itās just back to white dots/lines falling half on the screen and not even on the ground most of the time you donāt realise itās even raining and just looks like screen/game picture is glitching
Also when are we going to start seeing fires coming out of the fireboxes that is in the game when we score tries will at least make the game look more exciting.
Was surprised today playing with womenās itās like itās actually a different game AI in womenās plays actually good rugby I was shocked when I saw it, question what can the team do to get that gameplay in the mens games

Custom Teams:
- Would like to see us able to put names on shirts for custom teams
- Able to name and give custom competitions logos
- More logo slots for custom kits
- Logos to be able to go across the back of the shorts and not get cut off.
SOMETHING IāVE BEEN WANTING TO BE FIXED FOR A WHILE: Not being able to see past logos mad, only can see the name the image in manage logos and when adding to kits doesnāt appear and makes it hard to see what logo is what. PLEASE FIX ASAP
A few things that have been a while waiting for, would be nice to finally see them in the game.
Oh and also GRIP SOCKS!!!

Saw a couple of people say the game was a little better on here so I reinstalled the game today.
Wonāt make that mistake again 
Played one game and uninstalled it again.
This game is just pure nonsense. The ridiculousness touches almost every facet of the game.
How this at this point a pre Early Access standard title got released as a full title amazes me.
I really thought that would have been the turning point. Just wow. This game
I think the only good parts in this game will be from their league title lol.
Rugby 25 can stay in the bin. When League 26?
