Rugby 25 Megathread

Sorry @JNT_BA just want to ask what will the additional player aggression be all about ?

Thanks for the update mate. I hope you and your guys will manage to fix and improve the sidesteps and the game more globally.

I still can’t understand how Ross/Nacon accepted to release officialy the game in February 2025 with these kind of things not working (nothing personal agains’t you)…
While on the other hand he stated that the game should be delivered right… But it seems that you have so few internal resources to help you fixing R25… Not sure of the strategy he used, and seems uncool for both BA employees and players. I know your guys are doing the best they can though, but I guess it would be easier if you had a bigger team.

Having the game in both PC and PS5, I confirm that I have to wait a lot even on PS5 for online. 10 minutes to wait in the lobby to find someone, when you have limited time to play, seems a lot and that there aren’t so many players unfortunately.

Still hoping for a miracle patch and improvements, but frankly speaking, I don’t believe in it anymore. My spark for R25 has left a long time ago. I would gladly be proven wrong, but considering the past, hype is gone on my side.

Can’t deny the game improved since February, but we started from so low… And still so far from what I personally expected. Put too much effort believing in the game to be good lol

@JNT_BA do you have some plans to continue to update the game in Q1 and Q2 2026 ? I think you said you had plans up to February 26, so that would mean only 2 or 3 updates max after December?

Will we have gripsocks for christmas?

Cheers

Big question really is are we going to see some real changes in gameplay or is what have as gameplay pretty much we got and you guys just smoothing things out that you can and the rest that seems are to hard are just going to be left and kind be it is what it is type of situation, because all honestly there is way bigger issues with this game then mauls kinda feel mauls and rucks should take a major back seat and just the basic gameplay that’s pretty much still the same as EA with minor improvements from someone that played since day one don’t feel there was any major improvements from a gameplay standpoint,

Hi @JNT_BA good too hear that the patch is going good so far …. Just want to ask the player speed will that be better for the support runners then ? Also the additional player aggression how will that impact the game ? And offloads will it be better or what are you plan with the offloads

Thanks @JNT_BA

Don’t know if it’s just me but feel the game speed is a little to fast and frenetic, also feel like it ends to end up like a button bashing, also more penalties are needed in the game more AI as I seem to give away more normally for no apparent reason

Then I certainly want to hear from you first when the patch goes out later this week.

Hi @JNT_BA are we also getting the rest of the urc kits in this weeks update?

Wonder if anyone has had the same issue as me before - on Sunday I got stuck in awaiting sign in for ages until it loaded and now when I go to play any match it is just stuck on the R25 loading screen with no way of progressing. I’ve reinstalled the game (on Xbox series X), I’ve cleared my cache and done everything that could be causing issues but it still persists. I’ve reached out to support but hoping someone might be able to offer some help as I literally can’t play and I spent money on the game!

Does anyone know what today’s update was probably a small fix right

What patch? Are you on console or PC?

I am on playstation but if no other systems got it it must be stability on ps

Seems like it was consoles only then. There was nothing on PC.

Just a heads up…still experiencing random offside bugs on your own ball…like literally 5 phases then an offside call against your own player…

It seems the patch today fixed a few cutscenes, I’m on PS4 and the players entrance on the field used to glitch a bit, kinda slow, but now it seems smooth.

The patch was literally just an infrastructure update that all of our games got.

@JNT_BA JNT_BA have notice the official kits option has disappeared again to use on custom teams, I know it was empty on every league, is that function coming in?

@JNT_BA is this weeks patch the last one of the year? Any idea when we will get update kits ahd squad updates for English prem teams?

I think it would be. But i hope they come back early in Jan and not like the 15th or something lol

Hello @JNT_BA

Where would we go to submit ideas I think adding a 7s mode would be great alone with maybe some preset moves like dummy switch, cross kick ect as well as making defensive and offensive rucks more balanced

Thanks

Yep this patch will be the last one of the year. It will be a while until the next one. The studio will be closed for a break, unless some are like me and work through. As its also summer here people take advantage and take an extended holidays so im not sure when everyone will be back as a number on my team have extended. Will most likely be closer to the end of Jan. Which I hope will include the massive data stat revamp.
