Rugby 25 Megathread

Hi Jamil, I know a Jamil Lewis from Auckland.

You should log tickets and ask them about it too. We are frustrated

Oh true do you ? Shuxx where did you meet that person ?

I did log a ticket about moving/adding players and I got some nonsense about licensing issues, think maybe @JNT_BA or someone can respond to give us some clarity on the issue, there’s no way you cant add real players to their nations teams, and if u create a player u can only add them to a created team? No way!

An issue i want to raise is when kicking for touch after a penalty, im finding that if im in the 22 on the right side, i can only kick to the left.

The AI don’t setup properly for this so i pretty much score a try every time from the 2 occasions its happened for me

If we can’t amend licensed players stats, @JNT_BA @Lachie_BA I am happy to use some of my spare time to help you get things accurate for NH clubs - I watch a lot of NH club rugby, particularly Premiership, and some bits are plain wrong. I can help get it right (or just give everyone the ability to make the players how they would like)

Biggest issue I have is that if Teams are now locked for editing , it’s kind of a major negative if the players created by the developers are not physically accurate. This is just another example below. San Diego Legion. Brad Wilkin. Brad in real life is a red headed Australian white Caucasian player. So if licensing is an issue why can’t the players put in the licensed team look reasonably accurate as they should in real life ??

I do find it frustrating as I would like to play and control San Diego Legion yet my favourite player Brad Wilkin looks nothing like Brad Wilkin and I am not allowed to add my own Brad Wilkin creation which I uploaded on Fan Hub for the community already. I would never demand or expect the developers to fix or edit the players , happy to do it myself but at least give the community this basic freedom to correct these mistakes with inaccurate licensed player creations.

Haha yeh there’s a lot of this, I play as Sale and Nyacalevu the stacked Fijian center looks more like a white French cheese salesman!

I don’t know if this is of any help.

But on rugby challenge, pc players were able to get ahold of face scanned players and then just posted them on the fanhub/community? Is this something we can do for Rugby 25? They were also able to use players from previous editions and add them to the fanhub.

I agree there are some form of attacking shapes off 9 but still way off. I would like to see pods move up together and the ability to tip to pass either side of your pod runners, or pass back to your 10 running out
the back by pressing LB+RB in rugby 20 u could do this and it created other options out wide if u wanted to hit ur 2nd pod or hit someone running a hard line. Hopefully we see some improvements in the next patch. Be cool if dev team can still change up some running patterns or maybe have running lines like in rll4 and have a toggle off/on option?

In hindsight we didn’t appreciate Rugby World Cup 2011 enough

Can anyone confirm what is the best difficulty for a challenge to play on for PS5 ? I played hardest , Stormers vs Bulls but blew away Bulls 28-0. One of their players did get injured so it might have affected the attack as the Ai did not get him replaced.

Is Hardest the Hardest level of difficulty since the new patch ?

Update has been an all round improvement even if it only feels 1% closer to what it should be.

I’m also liking how the AI goes for goal, almost lost a game last night, each pen in lockable distance was taken by them and I scored a late try to win 19-12.

AI doesn’t sub off injuries, would be nice to have substitution cutscenes because now you never know when the subs will even work or not.

New problem though is that the ruck is very slow on my side, my cleaners come at a snails pace or just don’t come anymore.

Hello everyone,
I won’t add much to what’s already been said, but I’m confident that BA is working hard to deliver a rugby game that’s truly exciting and faithful to the real sport.
Among the most unrealistic aspects is the fact that in too many matches the first half stretches well beyond the 40th minute, with games often ending as late as the 120th minute.
A possible solution could be to slow down the clock—perhaps to normal speed or double real-time speed—once the 40th and 80th minutes are reached, to make the game time more believable.

What platform are you playing on. Todays minor update on steam, have not seen any changes to the ruck play, the last update was good for the rucks but need improvement,
I think the main issue is Y standing contested tackle does not work for isolating the quick steal, the quick steal should not involve a push over animation every time , particularly when its one player, this is what feels of, should just be a quick Jackle and if the offensive team counters the ruck gets held up with risk to holding to the offensive team. The single player jackle animation is not present, it is always a push over if there are offensive rucking player coming in, sometimes 1 defensive rucking player running over 2-3 offensive rucking players, happening less on the last two updates, but still happens, it should be a quick grab/steal animation without steam rolling 2-3 offensive players. And the offensive player should be able to hold on by pressing a button to hold on, with risk to be penalized, the quick binds work now to over power the offensive ruck without having to press steal, this is good, now let’s get the one on one stand up contested tackle to work for the steal without running over 2-3 players with one player.
Has any one got the barge to work R analog press down, used to work in early builds, has anyone got the up analog to work for fend? I also noticed there is something to pressing the shoulder buttons as the ruck forms, it seems like if you press the correct shoulder button plus the bind key they join quicker. Like if your coming from the right side tap the right shoulder bind and they will bind quicker, or vice a versa, could be my Imagination but seem like I have won more rucks using this shoulder buttons while pressing b to bind?

The rucks are horrible now, they have not improved. I get turned over a lot of the time now because either it takes my players too long to enter the ruck or it takes my scrum half forever to pass even though the ball is present and waiting.

I am playing on Easy and it is just not fun.

Anyone else get pinged for a penalty when performing a box kick? Am I doing something wrong?
