Rugby 25 Megathread

@JNT_BA can you explain what might be happening then. I’ve tried playing on all levels and in the tutorials. I press L2+R2 when it’s in the green and nothing registers. It looks as if I’ve not pressed any buttons

Can you message support with as much as you can as well as your device/setup so they can let my qa guys know. Even I tested with them today on all consoles and it was working as expected. Any footage you can provide will help.

@JNT_BA yeah sure will send in a ticket. Thanks

Amazing, thanks for doing that.

Cheers for the update :+1:

Any news on WRC? And other updates on kits and squads for this season.

Can you confirm that you can pass from the base of the scrum with your scrumhalf please?

All that I can manage is pick up from base of scrum , player stands there for a second and then can pass. Not the scrumhalf.

Same as you mate

We are doomed

Edit:

Wouldn’t it be easier if BA share a video of it ? Showing the full process of scrums and possibilities etc… As a lot of people, almost all, don’t manage to do a pass after a scrum etc

I therefore take it as not much left to be updated. We are unfortunately doomed

Good day JNT_BA , I had the same issue on xbox-s. The dual button presses not registering, or very big delay, I use a Wolverine Ultimate 3rd party controller, (maybe that is the issue?) Before my timing was so on, would hardly ever lose a scrum. Can the tutorial explain more what just happened? It resets so quickly after the scrum is done. Can you post again the instructions for scrums, and the possible outcomes? I think you may have posted it, but couldn’t find it.
Enjoying the game more and more, and I am happy to be losing scrums, but please don’t lose focus on how important scrums are in rugby, if done right, they can be such a fun addition to the game, a game within the game.
My priorty list
1.Sidesteps need to improve , way to slow and premeditated (I like the fend,shoulderbarge,dummies)
2. Scrums, ai penalties, ai collapsing from pressure and from bad push, more risk vs reward
3. Rucks are working well, but need isolated tackle stand steal animation which was intended to be in there originally by using Y, separate the Jackle/steal button from the pushover counter ruck button (or make one quick press and the other hold the button) give us more control at the ruck. Add rucking infringements , holding on, hands in the ruck, coming in from the side) (Thank you for adding up to 5 possible in the ruck, this was a great addition) ( it does seem like ruck turnovers do happen at the proper time most of he time)
4. set plays needed
5. more knock ons if you offload late in the tackle, so we can have more scrums
6. Mauls, not the most exciting but had their place and that outcomes were somewhat percentage wise as they should be, even though the animation did not match up, 1 defensive player could hold up 5 offensive players if the timing was good. Offensively they worked pretty good, you had time the adding of players in order to get more distance, but if you got to greedy you could get held up, (that part was good). It worked better and made more sense on the offenive side then on the defensive side. This to could be a fun game withing the game if done correctly. Very satisfying when you can score of rolling maul, but they should be hard to do and you should have perfect timing to do it. (More varied animations would be welcome along with more maul infringements.) risk vs reward.

Those are my top five, now things a really like
grubbers (better then most rugby games)
up and unders( work fairly well)
shoulder barge (works well)
fends ( working good , not over powering)
tackles (working good, like the different hi and low possibilities)
passing game ( working fairly good, need a little better support on the wings)

Thank you an looking forward to the nex update.

According to this thread the following has been listed as things that BA will focus on: The Future of Rugby 25 (Cant add a link for some reason, just search the forum, I will bullet point the items)

  • Contested Marking / Aerial Manoeuvres (added, need bit of tweaking, and possibility to contest kickoffs)
  • Scrums (Added, also needs some tweaking, when picking up with the 9 or passing to backline, the 9 stands still for a while before reacting or doing anything, stability improvements also needed to ensure button inputs register, sometimes they do, but now and again it feels broken)
  • Rucks (Waiting on update)
  • Mauls (To be added again, and hopefully gets some tweaks)
  • Tactics (Waiting on update)
  • QOL Changes:
    • more referees (Added, hopefully more will come)
    • Ad boards (Waiting on update)
    • Team updates (Waiting on update)
    • New player / Team art (Waiting on update)
    • New Stadiums (some added, needs more)
    • Online focused update (not sure if this has happened or still in the works)

For me rucks and tactics are very important, with tactics I would like to see some running lines and player positioning improvements. Then punt kicks needs to be fixed. We need more distance on the kicks. Also as mentioned before, sidestep needs to be tweaked to work better.

Sorry guys, english is not my first language. What is the definition of “very shortly” ?

I thought it meant “few days”, but from my experience with a famous early access, “very shortly” could also mean “ages”. But I could be wrong.

Edit:

Wait Bears retired? I was wondering what happened to him

@JNT_BA are we getting a update 2morrow as well? When better rucks/turnovers. The buldoze of one guy over 3/4 is crazy… better lines from backline.. sidestep actually doing something??? Also you cant get upset with these questions as we seem to be standing still, not even a patch note for last update l….

tbh im strugging to win a scrum, when do you press X (PS5) on the Hooking?

@JNT_BA any chance you guys can look at the prod2 issue as all games are played in stade de france and its not possible to add or change stadium of prod2 teams. Either add small stadium.to these teams ( doesn’t matter which ones ) or let us be able to edit

Patch incoming! Let’s see what it brings!
Mauls are back at least, not sure if anything else is new yet.

Just to clear up the mauls and some added player updates.

Nice one, cheers for that!

Just had a really enjoyable game! Mauls can be triggered at the lineout again, though saw none in open play - AI used to frequently form them after kick-offs. Could just be a coincidence I suppose, I only played one match.
