Rugby 25 Megathread

10000% agree said this in feedback like last year etc hell even Cricket has more than this atm :frowning:

The graphics of the game are perfect, but if you play with match difficulty at easy it is as if you are playing hard, at rucks the ball is constantly stolen, it should be much easier to win the ball as you only play at easy, at scrums you never win the ball, pushing to gain ground is impossible, giving a drop goal is the hardest of all the rugby games I have played. Make rucks, scrums and drop goals the same as in rugby 22 or at least make the match difficulty easy so that it is really easy not hard. Match difficulty on easy is the hardest difficulty on easy that I have played on a sports simulator.

So I decided to do the rest of the updates on the xbox version… BigAnt… why are all my matches now pink :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:
@Lachie_BA @JNT_BA

The rest of the game is completely fine. Even the pause menu colours are all correct. But as soon as you jump in to a match, the screen gains a complete pink hew on it. Even in Replay mode.

*EDIT
I scored a try… and now one corner gained some correct colour? Have I discovered a secret game mode where the more points you score, the more the screen corrects itself?

As a reminder to all - any posts that are deleted/edited are only a result of that post breaching the community guidelines, something everyone here agrees to, before joining the forum.

Several posts in this forum may be considered a breach of these guidelines but have remained up because while they’ve been critical, they’ve at least been fair and reasonably worded.

Being argumentative is not the same as being constructive. The more time that is spent here ensuring that these guidelines are being followed - is time taken away from responding to Support tickets & logging them with the team. This means we don’t have time to share things like Extended Patch notes and details on the team’s upcoming plans for patches.

Please explain how some people posting on a forum. Takes away from your ability to release extended patch notes and from communicating with your customers. Just so we are clear this is not me being argumentative it is a genuine question because this seems like it is just a very crap excuse

Also constructive criticism may come across as argumentative to you but to others (especially the customers) it is just being critical of a game that let’s face it is currently well below par from what should be expected. This should not result in posts being removed because of a rightfully critical/angry tone being used to convey their emotions about a product that they have spent cold hard cash on.

Charging 49.99 for a game that was literally not ready to be released, I don’t know how you expect people not to be argumentative :rofl:. We’re not idiots, Ross was telling people to “wait for the day 1 patch”, the video from early access 1 said the main focus is gameplay so people are gonna argue these points

We will remove any posts that do not follow the guidelines. Thats it. The inability to follow these guidelines is up to each person, I just blocked one person’s account for constant breaking of the rules. It is also not our personal choice when extended patch notes get published.

This doesn’t make sense though if it’s not up to you when the extended patch notes are released how does it have anything to do with this forum just completely contradicts what Lachie was saying earlier

See the word “share” we do not make the notes, we share them with the community on behalf of the team.

Well when I jump on and see what Lachie is dealing with. I can act with more authority, so had to do some house keeping.

If the patch notes are not made by you and are made by the team then a quick copy and paste and posting them in here takes no time at all. This should not be affected by you having to deal with what you are calling “Social Commentary” or Argumentative language. Just seems like a bit of an excuse to me but I will leave it at that

@JNT_BA appreciate that there are rules to the forum that is fine but a lot of the posts on here are people frustrated with their current experience of the game and the minimal communication on what is being done to change things. We were told that there would be a road map prior to launch outlining rosters and face scans, we’ve not seen that and now Ross has now said there will be a gameplay patch tomorrow. It would just be great to get a bit more communication ahead of time on when roadmaps are coming and what to expect in patches.

You know I was going to delete this but let’s use this as a teaching moment. Lachies job is not to simply sit here and watch the forums and “paste” things. If you think that, then that’s a weird job to have. He and the others in my team have many responsibilities. Every action taken here means something takes longer there and what takes longer there means less here. It’s kind of like time is a finite resource and every action has a knock on effect. Especially while I’m not in studio to directly help them. Lachie also helps with the support site for people who actually need assistance. So yeah when he’s here, people who genuinely need help and are not sitting here with the “social commentary” lose out.

Slow motion kicking could be a simple off on toggle. An online league function is essential to retain interest in online play.

Understandable I get that, I really do. But that’s unfortunately not our call. But we will certainly be here when there is updates. But this is a perfect way to get that across, thank you for keeping it reasonable.

Hey guys,

Is the game down?
I cannot login after a few restarts.

Let me check in with the team about this one.
