Rugby 25 Megathread

At this very second I am unaware of if we will add more stadiums. Is that part of the planned academy changes. Yep. In terms of it not resetting after each reload, done. In terms of how that interacts. I still need to clarify. By what the career guys explained that after the first year in career, where we set the schedule, after that it should generate from other assigned stadiums. But I will be very honest here, until I see it I won’t say its 100% accurate. Which is dangerous and why I’m usually careful with my claims as if I say it, its concreted as a thing.

Based on this, I like the sound of this update.

As a cricket 26 player, one slider that could be handy here that’s in c26 would be the AI and User skill levels, will that be replicated here to help with these issues?

Is advertising in stadiums resolved as part of this update? From what i understand, they were awaiting sign-off last year? Also, are updated Super Rugby kits on the cards? Thanks.

Since stats has been looked at has the kicking stats been bumped up. - Can my flyhalf kick further than 30meters?

Since animations has been cleaned up - when you put flyhalf in pocket does he still move.

These are the little things that make it feel like big changes :slight_smile:

I expect we all have our personal “pet hates” that bug us. One of mine is that on any other camera than the vertical view, the SH can’t pick and go from the ruck when his team are playing from left to right (or is it right to left?). It just seems such an absurd thing to happen.

Appreciate the clarity. This sort of communication is all alot of us has asked for.

As frustrated as I was at the games state on release and slow progression since. I feel that frequent updates like this (in terms of communicating to the community) would have made this so much easier for everyone

Hi @JNT_BA thanks for the update and planned date for next patch . Im really looking forward to see the changes. Just want to ask can you maybe look at The AI kicking out the ball at the end of the match instead of playing and going for a try to win the game they just kick it out. And also with TMO I know its not 100% but when it goes to TMO the commentator says its a try before the Referee checks the replay and confirm its a try maybe just to check that if you can.

Thanks @JNT_BA

Glad to see more substantial changes to this game!

I think you need to add more settings the user can change themselves. Right now, it’s just 5 difficulty settings that it is questionable at best what they do, if anything.

SLIDERS are necessity. SLIDERS would allow the team to work on things that can’t be easily modified. Kicking lengths are something that have been asked for since the beginning.

best solution with kicking length is to use the dropgoal to get real length on your kicks

A drop goal is hard to perform. Its a tap basically. Sliders are needed not only for kicking but also for general tuning of the game. The devs seem to be spending tons of time tuning this and that back and forth for months when they could give us a way to do that ourselves.

@JNT_BA will the wales kit be updated??

I think it’s great to hear about what’s coming in the update.

For me I have a concern over injuries :face_with_head_bandage: in competitions. I think this is affected by stats ?
I did my own mass editing of Stats the last 3-4 months for URC, Super Rugby, Top 14. PS5 Console. What I discovered was that particularly with “Realistic Injury” setting hardly any injuries occurred to my own players or the Ai , maybe 1 on each side in 3-4 games. (I did raise some tickets on these as reports )

When I set it to “Extreme Injuries” I usually got 1 injured player per match but not always and 1 for the Ai. This was across all competitions but in my option very low injury occurrences and certainly not realistic for squad management.

It used to be at a good level for URC in that I would usually see 1-2 of my players and the Ai with 1-2 players getting injured on Realistic injury settings and higher if put to extreme.

So I hope you have been able to get some internal testing done on the game across the competitions you intend to update with stats. It’s either linked to stats or it’s not. I am not sure ?

Thanks for your hard work. I am currently working on making some academy players for all Super Rugby Teams.

Just adding previous Ticket Numbers raised on this recently - URC #42660 Super Rugby #40596

Let me look into this one. I recall the support team talking to me a while ago about how in URC someone could never get an injury. That entire system is… interesting. It is based on stats as well as a hidden value we use, while keeping it extremely simple, someone fresh on the field against someone who may have never taken a break the entire match can have a higher chance at a “surprise” injury.

The other problem with injuries is that if one player is already injured and another gets injured during a different match, the new injury and recovery time apply to all the other injured players on your team.

Once, I had a player who was almost fully recovered (he had 4 days of recovery time left), and during a match, one of my players received a 190-day recovery period due to an injury. As a result, my player who had “only 4 days left” also received a 190-day recovery period… It’s endless.

Ah, yeah, the shared dates, this one I would like your help with on this patch. This was addressed by the career team. I would love to know if you still get this.

Yes still have this issues with injuries and also this ones:

  • bugs in World Cup Career Mode where the game crashes at the end of every match.

  • in career mode: Some of my players suddenly become unstoppable, going through the others like a ghost and scoring. But when they score, the try is not validated. the ball gets recovered in the in-goal area by the defense, resulting in a restart from the try line.

-There are lineouts where the thrower isn’t visible, and ultimately doesn’t throw, resulting in a free kick for the opposing team.

  • Defensive players move aside just before the try line to let the opponent through a big gap… who then jumps from the 5-meter line.

Player career mode ??

Ok so telling me your crashing does honestly actually nothing cause crash reports are basically negligible on our end. So you need to contact support so they can get your data.

ok for the crashing, I didn’t knew. but I hopes the other issues I’ve mentionned will be solved by your team :slight_smile: :slight_smile:
