Rugby 25 Megathread

Hi
First of all, thank you for the latest updates that are advancing the game! We are on the right track!
Is it possible to fix the bug of stadiums put in the academy in order to use them in career mode? To be honest, I find it frustrating to only be able to use the stadiums of the game when I’m on career mode…
Especially when playing in Pro D2 and the matches are all at the Stade de France..
It seems important to me to fix this bug in order to bring more pleasure and realism to career mode players
Sorry in advance for my English, I am French and use a corrector :wink:

I’ve started to create the Premiership as custom teams, I need Prem emblems for the kits, kits and sponsors maybe off but Squads are what I’ve seen, uploaded Bath Quins and Gloucester just understand they are WIP just go to martifers in the community :+1:

Have u done correct shirts?

Only got limited kit types to work with I’m afraid

Ive created a new thread on the FAQ page. Im not 100% sure if it downloads correctly on other peoples end.
But theres now a custom Springboks Team up on Academy Ive put together over the past couple days if anyone wants to use that rather than the team of fake players. :grinning_face:

Academy Quick Code: TK9F6X

Do u think big ant will update premiership teams eventually for this season?

I’d guess they will update them

Black Ferns are available in the Career Mode

Canada too, but it seems without photogrammetry

Inconsistency in Top 14 Season award: Ntamack is the “Player of the Year”. So it would be normal that he appears in the “Team of the Year”

Agree pretty much to all. But not sure about the rucks , they are getting better, you can feel when the ruck turnover is going to happen and you do have to pay much attention when to stack the ruck and when not to, as mention on offense many times only add 2 players to the ruck for quicker ball, but you have to watch your opponents reaction to the ruck. Seem like if they are able to add the tackle stand and jackle in, and they can change the passive ruck turnover every now and then to a penalty for the AI holding on to a ball you have isolated to jackal.

The scrum system needs a better reward when you play them to perfection, penalize the AI for collapsing the scrum every now and then when you play to perfection, and they need to be harder to win, winning 90% of rucks on hard is not a challenge. More ruck and scrum penalties. Need to improve the scrum system and add more possibilities for them to happen, with more risk vs reward in the scrum.

But over all starting to enjoy the game, and starting to have a decent base to build on.

The sidestep is still horrible, and you have to pre-plan it to much an advance for it to work, needs to feel more natural. Fends and shoulder barges working fairly good.

And most definetly we need set plays, wasn’t this supposed to be a feature of this game?

Just know reading about SA, so the world champions , are no longer in the game? Have not checked because was playing Rugby Championship and lost the first game against the Real SA, know they are fake? WTH! Know I have never gotten really PO about anything with all the ups and downs with the game, always a big supporter of it, but this one? Someone dropped the ball.

Hey mate, listening to your videos when you commentate the game your playing, have to say you are a natural. I would actually prefer you provide commentary for R25 then the monologue commentary thats in it… would bring alot of colour to the game if you did. Well done.

Would it be possible to increase squad sizes so we could try and add even more players even if we can’t remove players? Maybe to 70?

Can’t help but feel that licensing has been a blessing and curse for this game. Two World Cup campaigns been and gone and both missing from the game when they should have been in there. Now the Springboks, the world champions, don’t appear to be fully licensed. Sounds like licensing holders have been difficult to work with which hasn’t made implementing things easy. Hopefully there is a bit of communication this week as to what is happening as it would be a real shame if these things weren’t rectified.

And last but probably not least, we still don’t have any gripsocks

As a test, I added Petti to Harlequins with the method above. Worked fine. Then tried to remove him and I couldn’t

So once they’re in, they’re in!

Mate think it’s a poor reflection on BigAnt. Stuff happens.. things will come and go, but at least be honest with your community… we are the ones who buy the game. Wouldnt take more than 5 mins to make a post and let everyone know what has happened.

Agreed, they seem to be evading the issue. Just let us know and we’ll deal with it.

Perhaps being honest may lead to claims of misrepresentation about the product they were purported to be selling…from my POV there’s still no explanation as to why we can fully amend and edit national teams in Career mode, but not outside of it. It literally makes no sense!

@MaD_Dragon_Rugby Lol your team is already showing as “Censored”

They hate union

Really? So even “South Africa” is not allowed?
I litterally ran the in game censorship filter, and it passed fine!
BA trying to shut me down :joy: the team is full editable, so once downloaded you can change the team name locally on your end in the identity section.
