Rugby 25 Megathread

Have you played the rugby 20 or rugby 22 they have a nice rucking system that actually makes sense

Two things I want to see

1.Pods that actually work - Yes the attacking shape is good, but when I give the ball to a forward with two or more forwards behind him, they don’t follow him and support him in the rucks like in rugby 22. I know u guys can fix this.

2.The rucking system - Rugby Challenge 3 is the one rugby game that has the best rucking system, u can steal the ball before the cleaners arrive, not the rucking system were one guy just comes and steal the ball whilst pushing over 6 guys with no effort.

Its all I’m asking, and many ppl ask this

Asking again if its possible to not play every ProD2 games in Stade De France. Its not possible to change stadiums for Prod2 teams.

Funny story, I once had a gummy and played Rugby 22 - I was so focused on the ruck animations and the finer detail they put into them (how player roll away or move for the ball to be released, jackal etc) - got totally absorbed into it. If only graphics and full custom team available for that game, I may still play it as it was not as bad as most thought (it was not great either - don’t get me wrong)

Yes, needed some polishing but rugby 22 did have a good rucking system.

Can I get a confirmation from the group or is it just me, but the AI teams on Hardest seem to break 9/10 first time tackles against my players and even worse, when they are attacking in the 5 mtrs to the Try line, the fear I have is no matter my FB on 99 for tackling, the AI always breaks that tackle I literally have to control or move another player in as a back up tackler because the AI always breaks the tackle which is frustrating. Is there any way to stop this from happening? It’s so unrealistic when an AI breaks my D Line, and I have my FB come across to tackle, the AI 9/10 times will either break the tackle or almost always side steps my player. Can this please be removed or allow first time tackle made based on the percentage success of the players I am controlling. It seems I can never tackle an AI because it takes more than 2 to bring down he AI who seems to always side step or break all my first up tackles.

Been happening for some time now and kills realism for sure… Also been asked to fix in this thread a few times.

Hi @JNT_BA can i ask really quick are we expecting a update soon cause league got one Wednesday or is it because of different teams thanks

Hi @JNT_BA ! I think i have an ideea about AI breaking first tackle and user not being able to perform combo escape moves!

Introduction of 4 tackling styles:

  • ankle tackle (animation is in the game) → should stop all the escape moves except ā€œgoose stepā€ ,with the sacrifice of loosing 1-2m in contact

-around the waist tackle ( animation is in the game) ->very effective versus sidesteps ,50/50 or stats based against fends and low succes rate versus bumps

-around the chest tackle (animation is in the game)-> very effective against fends, should give away a penalty for high tackle if used against bumps ( in case of bump ,attacker is lowering his position so defender doesnt get the time to readjust,resulting a head contact) and not so efficient against side-steps

-big hit tackle (animation in the other rugby game)- should stop all the escape moves with a risk of giving away penalty (high tackle ,shoulder charge ) or getting a player injured (specially when forward vs back) if not timed correctly!

Let me know your toughts about this guys,personally i think is the shortest way to get a close to reality risk/reward combat !

Never had the chance to play RLL3 but ive heard a lot of people praising that game ! I do own RLL4 and RL26 and both have better combat systems than Rugby25 (in my opinion) ! Being an union based guy ,im not 100% sure but from outside looks like, except ā€œshoulder chargeā€ wich is not allowed in union,tackling is the same for both codes !

@JNT_BA can we pleasw get a timelime for the new patch???

I would like to think that even "controled movement " from their other league releases will be a perfect fit for Rugby25 but i dont know how long and how hard it will be for jnt&co to introduce that mechanic in !
