Rugby 25 Megathread

Man Pro Team looks addictive on RL 26, it is going to be a cash Machine for R25 if the game ends up good

Has there been a hotfix today?

Haha yeah you don’t like the mode in RL26? Looked pretty fun to collect the cards

I have a request which I don’t think has come up before, hopefully it could be implemented. Would it be possible to have a wider selection of template players when creating players for custom teams? I am rubbish at editing faces so this would make it much easier. And it would be good to not have any accessories equipped as default as I usually have to find the setting to remove finger tape for example.

Oh haha, that’s weird, all good for me on PS5. Maybe I have the mole version :stuck_out_tongue:

Please can a consistent way of being yellow carded / sin binned be added to the game? Going for the “Sin to Win” trophy and it feels impossible. I just had a match where I gave away over 50 offside penalties and still no card.

Could an automatic yellow card after x amount of offsides (say 4 or 5) please be patched in?

@JNT_BA Got the game today, having lived off Rugby 22 for months. I will say, of course its not perfect, but Im really impress with the level of Customisation and also I love the amount of licenses. And, at times, the gameplay is fun. All U would want for the next few weeks until the major update is just to add the replays back and also fix the knock on advantage to penalty glitch. But overall keep up the good work this game has potential :clap:

Mini Patch on Pc this morning, but with no patch note

I still really feel like there’s not enough difference between players, I just started a new career as connacht and I seriously can’t tell the difference between controlling someone like bundi aki v a scrum half v a front rower
The stats need to make more of a difference
Like these big abrasive runners need to have more passive line breaks and the wingers need to feel significantly faster than others

Also pretty much everyone that isn’t in the started squad for each position is rated the exact same
Eg all the props are 76 except finlay bealham whos 84
I get that you guys have a trillion licenses and that makes it hard to balance and individually rate each player but a bit of variety would really be nice

Like in the rare instance of an injury when bringing someone in I want to notice a bit of a difference not see completely identical stats

:smiley: yes with some “known issues” but creating new unknown issues; yes but there’s now three differents hat color in the public :smiley: and that’s great :smiley:

Might I make a suggestion for the next installment of the game?

With running the risk of getting crucified by all the guys on here who are so brilliant at the creation and modification tools, get rid of the licensing, put all the teams there that you currently have as I think it’s great that you thought of adding all the smaller nations in as well, and open up the community to modify and post their creations, exactly like you’re doing with the cricket?

Get licenses for all the stadiums along with their advertising and get licenses for all the tournaments, including the World Cup and the tournaments that were left out of this game.

This will open your budget up to perhaps invest in a better engine or whatever it is that will make the gameplay better.

Just a suggestion, thank you

@JNT_BA
A quick one also, obviously rosters have been updated
With players EG Joe Marler who have retired and are no longer on any roster

Is there a reason they don’t appear on the player market in career mode or is a bug
I have a save from release that has Joe in it but my current careers I can’t seem to find him when searching the player market
I know you can sign players that don’t have clubs, like samu kerevi
Hopefully an easy fix

I didn’t had the time to test it, but i’ll check for sure :slight_smile:

Can’t believe that I’ve been so let down by the recent so-called fixing of the punt kick which is still weak by any measure, that I now have a small patch downloaded for rugby 25 and I can’t even be bothered to test it out.

I love rugby union but compared to Rugby League 26 there are far too many constant letdowns and one step forward one step back patches.

By now we should have so much fixed that there should be things like sliders and options even fun things we could tinker with like how many points a try is worth, etc.

This game will never get to a point of fun add-ons because they are still trying to fix an essentially broken game which does not play like rugby union and it appears the man in charge is too unaware of things that have annoyed people since it came out like having a pocket player that doesn’t move forward to get charged down every time you receive the ball.

As much as anybody else I paid good money for this game and it hasn’t been up to a reasonable standard for all the time I’ve had it. A lot of us support Big Ant products and have done for a very very long time.

I currently have all six of their cricket games, all five rugby league games, all three tennis games. Looking at all of them the trend is for a worse game on release now than there ever used to be. Many of those titles required small fixes after purchase to make them good games, but rugby arrived in a terrible state and now is barely mediocre.

The recent patch after three weeks was poor. It did little of consequence and to be honest I enjoyed the game more beforehand. The kicking is still as frustrating and limited as ever and that is the thing that separates it more so from rugby league than anything else.

And that was in the list of improvements. Rugby league 26 has shown me that many of us were not just loyal to Big Ant, but total mugs to buy this game when it released.

I’m not holding my breath for the next three weekly installment of “very little gets done”.

Qu’est ce qui a changĂ© avec la mise Ă  jour ?

Kicking seems better, but penalties are still being given after knock-on advantages and replays are still missing.

Players and AI can make the ball fall in front of them, and play it after, I never had a single penalty or scrum
 just for very discutable off line.

Do you mean after the patch which came out today?

Yes, I just had one game on PS5.
