Hell yeah!! Support lines finally 
General gameplay is 90% of a match.
And I’m glad it’s getting a look at. Mauls and lineouts obviously needs work but for me general gameplay and AI should be number one on the list.
Now just bump up the kicking power a bit and improve AI and add rugby rules and we almost there 
As an additional bonus adding set plays will have me drooling.

I agree with you 
… And I understand that Matt he is frustrated and so and not just him and I know the game is not in its best stake and there is problems still but at the end @JNT_BA and his team is working on it and trying there best … if you look at it take a look when the game just came out and where it is now you can see the differences and with the patches that the team is trying there best and I believe its not so easy to do everything .. so Thanks @JNT_BA I also enjoy playing it and I try to make it realistic while the patches comes out … looking forward for the next patch

True, which sucks cause 90% of it was fine.

Yeah, the frustration comes in when this was advertised “Experience the Rugby 25 rush! From local club clashes to the grandest international championships, lifelike gameplay, strategic depth, and heart-stopping action ensure every match is a battle and every victory earned on the path to immortality.” - it is far from all of this. While JNT is not responsible for the release date, some heads higher should roll as they have put this onto a team with 0 resources. You have people on this forum (or used to be) that, if they got certain access, would likely update player skills etc just for the cause & make the gameplay better. Only just recently (after how long in development) have they hired someone to do the stats which are also a mess.
Certainly no reason to be rude to an individual but the playing group has been tested time and time again. 5712 comments from players that want a good solid game and here we are still talking about offsides, support lines and basics of rugby…

I agree with the general sentiments there. I have no ill will or thoughts towards anyone working on this game. Everything they do or have done that works, I want to thank them for it. I am seriously grateful for the effort to make a Rugby Game. There are some decent elements that more or less work well.
However there is a massive amount of the game which is 3/4 baked.
The AI’s lack of playing style and difficulty.
The support play.
The general play kicking.
The scrums (cut off the first 3-4s of packing down for a start - this is a game!).
The games implementation of Rugby laws.
The goal kicking.
The pocket kicker not working a lot of times.
Pretty much a lot of stuff that Plaasvark and yourself talk about amongst many others. I really hope these things change, but it’s been so long and I really feel like the team is under-resourced compared to the League and Cricket.
Fingers crossed we see something that improves some of these things and works properly. Let’s hope for a Christmas miracle maybe.

Hi @JNT_BA … just want to ask how is the update/patch going so far .. is the support runners better and could you find the balance yet ? .. And anything else we can expect ? … Thanks @JNT_BA
So far, so good. I added in some new things over the weekend for additional player aggression. Looks more like what I expect. As I haven’t had a lot of time with the gameplay recently, I’ve passed some of the changes on to some externals to give their feedback.
So far:
More maul updates
Player Speed
Player Aggression
Offloads
Have been looked into so far.
I need to do some checks and sign off if I like the changes once I get back all the feedback. For those online people we have identified some of the issues with connectivity. There were some conflicts, causing some issues. The changes made now mean we have to check all menus and items that you guys can see publicly, as what was causing it may have cause other issues.

Thanks @JNT_BA for the feedback so glad its going good so far …. New things for additional player aggression that sounds interesting wonder how thats going to work maybe like players commitment or tackles or so ? 
player speed also then support runners will be better and offloads too then
Looking forward to the patch Thanks @JNT_BA
Why would I not get something fixed by one of the online engineers who do not do gameplay, and it has no effect on what comes out gameplay-wise?
Just because you don’t play it doesn’t mean others don’t. The online mode is decently active. So is the game as whole on the consoles.
I’m also not sure why the quote either. I’m not a programmer. Me not playing the game recently doesn’t effect the progress.
@JNT_BA sidestep?? Also there is a issue on series x. The hooking bar does not load(show) i can try to get a small vid clip if needed
Thank you
Please send it to the support team so they can look into it and will pass it on to me with a full report.
The sidestep… is a monster.

If you say monter does this mean its been tweaked or difficult to adjust @JNT_BA
It’s one of those things that I’ll throw some man-hours at, and they keep hitting a wall for an extended time. So I’ll move them on to something else that can have some progress to give them a break from it, then back to it, see how it goes. Side step is running into a wall at any progress. It may come down to redoing the whole thing in the end, but that will be a massive undertaking.
