Agreed. Players disposition is like a a bunch of grapes…

Seems like a fairly sensible phase of play by r25 standards ?
Man, all my literary genius wiped out in one foul sweep.
Maybe we could get that succulent patch Saulman is always mentioning so we can have something to give feedback on?
I feel like Big Ant has abandoned GripSocks.
P.S what is YT/CC?

Ah, got you … yes … I am quite influential in the social media scene. Quite a major player to be honest. Both my wife and my son follow me so I am sort of a big deal.
I apologise, I will try to not crush any budding YT/CC’s futures with my real one truths in the future.
@Rugbywolf I don’t know what it is about reading the word succulent so may times in one comment that just makes it feel … IDK ha ha ha.
But that result would be great

This finna get deleted lol - But it is the official cologne of Rugby 25. So maybe not.

On a Rugby 25 related note.
Are set plays going to be a thing? Has it ever been confirmed or hinted at anywhere?
On rails set plays would be better than no set plays at all and surely they are not hard to do as all the players are running in a set pattern?

I pointed this out weeks ago!
Same with the choice of player by the computer when changing controlled player. It should take into account what direction you are moving the joystick, and pick a player going in that direction. Otherwise we end up moving the defender away from the opposition ball carrier.
An update in the works for two weeks has to mean big changes, right? (It has meant changes in cricket and AFL so far)

Seems like a lot of negative comments are being posted at the moment but it is worth remembering that the game is on the best state it has ever been. I have lost some games recently so it can be genuinely competitive on hardest.
If I could urge one simple change, it would be to make the opposition box kick immediately upon winning a ruck in their own 22 or third of the pitch.
Can I also ask @JNT_BA when more women’s teams will be arriving ahead of the World Cup? Reminding also that the game crashes when playing with Australia.

Is custom players in career mode. Can i buy them?
Last time ive checked ,yes,you can use custom players in career mode but first you have to assign them to a team and the moment they become out of contract, you can land them an offer!

Dear Jack,
Yes, you are right, the game at the moment is in the best state it has ever been and for sure, it is now possible to lose on hardest difficulty, which has been asked for months….
But let’s be honest, would you ever watch rugby on tv if it was played as it is in R25 :
- first fend always beats the first defender, then no other skill move can be used
- to defend touch throws, just follow the opposite scrum half
- Mauls only going one direction
- Number 8 always picking up ball in scrums because if he doesn’t, his team will get penalized even though they are winning the scrum
- Commentators always speaking nonsense, like they are not watching the same game as you, not even calling the good teams on the field
- Players scoring tries by clearly grounding the ball but the TMO refusing them all because a defender was tackling the try scorer
- Defenders never trying to defend on the try line against dives
- and of course, all teams playing exactly the same way, all of them abusing fends and offloads, never kicking, no set plays ever, not after a scrum, a maul a line out or a ruck, no set plays ever…
I would love to defend R25, but all the gaming mechanics are broken. When I try a skill move, my player should try to do it and the outcome should depend on player stats, impact angle and speed. Right now everything just seems scripted, first fend works then nothing else. Size and speed doesn’t seem to impact the game, it’s just nonsense for a contact sport.
Come on Jack, let’s be real, if you have ever played any sport game, what do you honestly enjoy in any of the broken mechanics displayed by R25 ?
Cheers

Do you know if a switch 2 version is possible on next month es?

To add to what i already written about.
Offside is called when an intercept occured while the ball carrier do an offload at the same as is tackled.
Quite sure the game cosider ruck or activate the offside line on tackle rather than when ruck is formed (Tackled and tackler on the groud + a support for the team with possesion)
I really hate that User injured player are substituted automatically, i need to choose if i want to sub or with who make the sub.
“Hold on/no releasing” faul no longer in the game

Gameplay issue now. This is AI v AI on PS5.
Why are clear knock ons not being given as a penalty?
Even the referee blows his whistle and says “knock on”. Yet play continues on as though nothing happened?
Literally just had another scenario with a knock on, referee gives the penalty, it even comes up by the scoreboard saying “Knock on No Advantage “. As before play continues as though nothing happened.
I’m not expecting anyone to listen as it seems no one’s advice or concerns are being rectified in any patches put out. However, I will just add is this something that is being looked at and potentially fixed along with other issues in an upcoming patch.
Many thanks

Does the game crash for you using PS5 with the Australian Womens team ? I got the same problem.
Yes, usually straight after the game has loaded early in the teen’ teams into.
