Rugby 25 Megathread

I played half a match last night, closed the game and decided to play Tour de France.

I CHOSE to sit there and press 1 button for an hour over playing this game.

@JNT_BA would it also be possible to tone down the AI reaction time. I feel they are too quick to react especially on situations where I have to press a button. This is very evident when kicking as the moment I press and hold to box kick or punt and the kick is powering up the AI are already turning to collect the kick. It means that where there had been an opportunity to kick into space and maybe gain some territory the AI are already back by the time the kicking animation has played out and they make an easy catch. The same is happening when trying to pass down the backline and finding holes to put a player into (this one might have more to do with tackle radius though or delayed tackle animations). There have been moments where I’ve seen a hole passed to the man going through that hole and then somehow been tackled by an AI player who had clearly been beaten

Hi @JNT_BA … the field positions is getting there nice to see the wings in there position … but will just like to see the support lines to be better because I must jog with my players to get my team to catch up to pass … also can you take a look at the “held up” over the try line please ? every held up over the try line Tmo is a no try but it must actually be a try would like to see a fix there … Also the AI kicking the ball out at the end of the game but they can still win the match ? …Are we getting another change today or fix ? Thanks @JNT_BA

What I have realised is when you play RL26 and come back and play R25 it’s not doing you any favours as the game actually feels a lot worst after

Played the game last night, and still the percentage miss tackles at 95% is rediculous, with the Ai with zero miss tackles. You have to tackle the Ai player 3-4times. By now you know the Ai player will either do a hand-off or a bump on the first tackler. The intercepts, I had in every attack the Ai intercepting my ball. This is a game breaker for me. Take all the fun out of the game.Please for the love of Rugby, please fix these issues, please??? We want the game to be great and successful!!!

Just one small thing that hasn’t been mentioned - RL26’s model of the Salford Community Stadium is now being used for Sale Sharks in-game, makes me very happy with my matchday operations head on cause it’s a bit more faithful to how it should look.

Just missing the other big screen that Sale use in rugby union configuration (hung in the corner of the West stand, shall send pictures over via ticket for the Art team) but it’s a small win worth celebrating - gonna play test it all as usual.

New phone, who dis? Who Ross?

Hi @JNT_BA any fix or so today ?

Already in the process, but again, it’s just a quick hotfix; there will not be a massive change.

Have tried several conversions on PS5 (side view) and cannot get them heading through the uprights, no matter how much or little power I use, what line I use or if I take account of the wind.

Could it be side view is causing a directional input issue maybe?

Has anybody manage to win/contest a kick off? Receiving team always gets the ball.

All good thanks @JNT_BA … can you maybe tell us what the hotfix is for ?

Weird, I’ve scored like 8 from 10 since the update. On PS5

The dynamic one so yeah new


Does anyone know what “AR” means in this stat screen?

Yeah this is happening to me as well. I’m pretty accurate with the league kicking, probably hit about 7/10 kicking from wide out.

On r25, I haven’t landed one yet as they keep spraying to the left or the right. Played two player with my wife and she got zero from three as well. On classic we both tend to get maybe 19 out of 20.

Not sure what’s happening but it seems to only affect some people.
