Rugby 25 Megathread

No and it hasn’t since the very beginning of EA. You can take the worst ranked team and players and it will not feel in any way different from any other team.

They did not create rugby 22. Not the same developers. And all those real logos, kits and faces cost a ton of money to secure.

I was told the following about women teams in a support ticket:

The women’s teams will be launched alongside the Women’s 6 Nations tournament! So not too far away now as the team continues roll out a few patches to respond to community feedback.

Kind regards,
Support team.

I hear your frustration; I think it’s important to be mindful of how long it might take for the team to collate and prioritise all the feedback they have received and determine how best to make modifications. I’ve no idea what their working schedules are, and they deserve as much leeway with that as any other working individual would. I imagine there’s been a large influx of new voices since Thursday/Friday, myself included.

I do agree that there could be more obvious transparency as to what’s actually been done in each update, though, and I get that you want to see some action on the big stuff ASAP, but there might be small fixes that can be handled and rolled out quickly while the fundamentals are worked on in the background.

I’m coming at this from the point of view of someone that wasn’t giving feedback throughout EA so maybe my patience is a little less tested than some. I also only paid £34.99 for the game.

What we can do to help is ensure that our feedback is constructive, preferably not repetitive unless absolutely necessary as we’re only adding more noise to the conversation, and continue to push for understanding of actions taken.

I see. Thanks for clarifying.

Version 1.000.007 I’ve just installed so sounds like another update again since? Would love to know what to look out for following the updates

I agree with you on gameplay over logos etc. But sadly for the majority that is not the case.

Latest update did nothing to gameplay. Think patch releasing tomorrow should be the one to look out for.

Unless they ignored feedback again and added new socks.

The update would have been for Ps5. It’s the patch that came out for steam and Xbox yesterday.
PS5 is today.

Played an online match. Was winning in the second-half when my opponent paused and quit out.

Game gave me a loss on the leaderboard.

DOES ANYTHING WORK AS INTENDED ON THIS GAME?

That’s a legitimate question. Does anything actually work the way it is supposed to?

Not sure if there is currently an issue though it seems like it from what I read here.

Normally, if you create a player, youcan assign him to a team. Alternatively if you only create the team and not the player, you first need to download the player from the community tab. You can also download a team that already has the players included.

Those are the options. If not available, then there is an issue.

You cannot currently add official players, only custom created players

Yeh I’m really hoping they’ll add this feature, a lot of players missing from international line ups!

MANAGER CAREER

  • When starting career to make it more realistic you should be randomly given a team instead of picking one (or maybe the option for both). i.e. starting off with a team like Brive who are in the Pro D2 and you can get offers from other clubs to go and coach those teams for a price, this could be where you could chose to stay with your club and win the top 14 if promoted or make a money move to another team like racing 92 for a higher wage. On top of this you should be let go if your managering is not good.

  • Salaries for teams need to be realistic, a romanian team should not have the same funds as a top 14 team like toulon. For teams in the premiership they have a salary cap of £7 milliion so should be cater to them.

  • All the ratings don’t work whether you put 1 star or 5 stars on the fitness coach you players still get fatiguted the same amount, same for other ratings like scouts.

  • Signing players seems impossible, don’t know if its been worked on yet but doesnt seem use friendly, unable to give an offer higher than 150k AUD and all players dont see that as enough and you can’t fitler to their expected price range, so you get reject from all, additionally it isnt easy to understand it too well and you cant seem to sell players or add them to watch list

  • I see a lot of potential with manager career mode and I have high hopes and definitely seems like the most popular game mode at the moment. Would love for it to be more realistic with the suggestions above!! Keep at it, can’t wait!!!

Immediate priorities for me to start enjoying the game, while you work and all the major and minor issues:

  1. Improved AI - fix the AI to make more than 1 pass before crashing the ball, perhaps even doing some unique moves, and using tactical kicking more. Also have AI make substitutions, whether tactically or for injuries, as currently they dont make any subs. Lastly, have the AI better decern when to kick for goal or kick for touch, off a penalty, based on game circumstances. They currently never go for goal. Also cant have 0-0 games evrytime. Bring the old AI Back!

  2. Better rules implementation - Currently penalties are only awarded when there should not be one. Introduce penalties for all the various aspects of the game, as many have highlighted in this thread, including penalty advantage and not just an instant stoppage in play, as well as yellow and red cards for dangerous plays, such as high tackles. Also add more knock-ons with advantage when applicable.

  3. Expand custom competitions to more than 8 teams

  4. Get the actual kicker to take the kicks and not some random forward. Should have the option to selct vice captain and backup kickers as well.

While priority should further be given to the handful of serious gameplay concerns, highlighted throughout the thread, there are also hundreds of other smaller improvements and additions that could be made by other devs, that could be done and added quickly to add significant emmersion and make the game somewhat playable in the meantime and could have already been done during EA.
