Is anyone having luck winning rucks?!
On any skill level, turnovers almost never happen. Perhaps 1 possibly 2 in a game.
Cannot seem to retain ball at rucks to build any phases because the AI keep pushing my players over.
When defending, in spite of spamming B, players do not enter the ruck.
Am I the only one? Do the devs not see this issue too before issuing the patch?
Ruck play appears to have gone backwards.
Platform: Playing with latest patch on PC through Steam.
Coming from tiebreak which didnât release or have sliders for a good while and now it has them the game is way better , I agree I love sliders and should be in all sports games⌠Yea they canât leave passing and Iâm sure they know itâs not acceptable level⌠Ruckâs i personally like rugby 22 system and a similar system here would Go a long way to improving the experience. Funny you mentioned rugby live 3 I just redownload that yesterday and rugby 22 until this gets in a decent place. Hopefully todayâs update is a improvementâŚ
On xbox im finding pressing B three times followed by X has been working well. Having trouble getting players to commit at times, but this seems to work.
Just a little comment on the latest patch (steam) (hardest settings)
The passing has most definitely improved. Spinning the ball wide is al ot more accurate and i could more easily made outside breaks int he 13 channel. There was still the odd pass that flew into touch with the winger, but there was definitely a noticeable improvement in the passing.
The rucking still seems the same, which is a little disappointing. If it could just be balanced, where say between 12 - 15 plus phases and the probability of a turnover has to massively increase if you are driving them back and dominating tackles (as it would in real life).
Also, more knockons are being applied correctly now, which is a good thing.
As someone who really appreciates the game, iâd just like to thank the devs for their efforts. i really wish some people would show a bit more patience as it is clear the devs are doing their best, andwith a few more tweaks the game will really shine.
Regarding penalties, there should be less offside, and more ruck penalties.
Im finding pressing B three times to commit players, then X works for turnovers. Maybe punishing button mashing in this instance can result in a penalty, itd be more realistic as teams/players get more desperate, rather than the high number of offside penalties at the moment.
Penalties could include:
Attack/defence:
mashing B = Sealing off the ball
Mashing X = Hands in the ruck
Defence:
Mashing Y (currently tackler commit) = tackler not releasing
Attack:
Mashing X = tackled player not releasing
This can help the defending team slow the ball in the ruck, but also result in advantage being played to the other team or a penalty.
And 10, 12, 14, 20 and 24 team options. Essentially intervals of 1 team as is currently in game, but with a much higher maximum
You made my day !
The âfewâ tweaks are :
With these few âtweaksâ yes it will be good 
You forgot Gripsocks
Sorry strategic kicking, defense and attack positioning are skill issuesâŚ
Iâll give you the rucks but nothing else on that list needs more than tweaking. If you donât like it thereâs plenty of other rugby games to play my friend 
Ok. Show me your skill by posting a video of:
-drop goal
-50/22 kick
-an attack with backwards in a deep line
-stolen ball into lineout-
-binded pick and go
-cross pass by a kick
⌠such things that never happen in a real rugby game
(And I played every rugby video games)
50-22 used to work during EA
Following todayâs patch, it seems that the contest in lineouts is possible
Drop goal is possible but the animation doesnât look so good as the kicker is not in the pocket
Cross pass by kick are possible, I already achieved some
But there is indeed still a lot to improve in every aspects⌠When Patch ?
Just curious, has anyone had a player sent to the sinbin yet?
How is attack positioning a skill issue 
Youâre just confimring that you didnât play the EA broâŚrelax, its just a video game
After 3 years, iâm now totally relax. Iâm even nice cause I sincerely wish that BA can at the end make a good game, for their financial and mental health.
That said, it appears to me, to thousand of players who has tried it and even for the developpers that itâs impossible to say Rugby 25 just need some âtweaksâ.
The core gameplay need to be built, not tweaked. The only thing you can do now is passing (randomly and without running trajectories before the catch) and kicking in front of you.
There is no support play when the ball is passed to the backline. As soon as the center gets the ball and makes a break to try and score, there is still no support. The winger is nowhere to be found. Many times the ball gets passed to the left or right. It ends up going into touch.
What system do you have RLL3 for? If it is for steam, someone downloaded an awesome slider for it, It has been a few years since I downloaded it , should be able to google it, but helps make the game what it should be, you can tweak everything how you like it, most Indepth slider system I have ever seen RLL3 plays great. Yea, I like Rugby 22 rucks, has a little of everything, sometime quick ball 1 player ruck sometime your sending 5 players on rare occasion in to control the ruck, it has so many variation. And the jackal works great. Lots of folks donât even know its a split second thing the jackal to gain advantage in the ruck in Rugby 22 on both offensive and defensive side. If they fine tune Rugby 25 system and add ability to add 2 more to the ruck, add holding on and improve the isolated Jackle, could be a cool 3 button system, where each senario is different and has different advantages, I like how if you hold the shoulder button and B on a tackle straight on you can do a standing tackle, that should put you in a better position for the steal/Jackle. Although it is easier for the offensive player to fend you. This is a great risk vs reward system if implemented correctly. The high and low tackle system of RLL3 was great , just was not implemented well on standard settings, with the sliders you can tune this to perfection.
Sadly Iâm in console (playstation) so no sliders for RLL3 , sadly but it still plays good enough for a career mode which is what I play . Yea 22 was actually a decent game just so much screen prompts and writing everywhere which is bit annoying. And I have no idea how to get more angle in my goal kicking, 
Iâm missing some absolute sitters⌠Annoyingly I actually really want to start a career mode on this but currently just canât face the gameplayâŚ
Online Opponent received a yellow card yesterday but i am not sure if the player was removed 
looked like a sub annimation 
Come on man, im not saying that the option for more depth and set plays wouldnât be nice, but if you have issues attacking, especially now with the latest patch, then its a skill issue.
Iâll say it once more, you have to pick up and go and hit in tight at the rucks. if you do this, then big gaps open up in the midfield. You should also hold the pass button for long throws or double tap it for straight short passes. Anything other and you risk interceptions etc., This is how the game wants you play. If you think theyâre going to rewrite the entre code to be more like rugby 08 at this stage then youâre going to be disappointed.
