Rugby 25 Megathread

@JNT_BA will the six nations squads be updated??

[Tigersmad83]

What national teams have actually got there anthems? @JNT_BA

The Academy is an unusable resource. If only we could edit all existing teams, rosters, jerseys, stadiums, pitch advertisements, fixtures, Competitions. The possibilities with better gameplay would be an infinitely replayable game.

I don’t think the developer or @JNT_BA understand we don’t expect every rule to be in the game, only at least what previous generations of games have provided. Even RL26 is better at rules than R25.

I’ve had a couple of lineouts go over the top and miss my jumpers too - it was awesome. @JNT_BA please don’t let this be a “bug” that gets fixed - lineouts not working is a great immersive part of the game - loving it after the new update

@JNT_BA Can you please let us on know if we’ll get Pro Team or anything new for online. Also would be great to see your opponents kits and be able to make subs from the menu. Is it possible for you guys to play some online games, there’s a multitude of small fixes that could improve the online experience so much!

Air -contest should bring up folowing scenarios:
-chance for “knock on” if the “catch” function was hit in bad-timing
-"tackled in the air " if you early press tackle and ball catcher didnt reached the ground
-“perfect timing hit” ,when ball catcher reaches the ground and in a fraction of second gets hit (one of the most exciting phases in rugby) with good chances to produce a “knock-on”
-“high-tackle” or evade ,if you press tackle to late

Rucks :
-“not releasing the ball” -is in the game but on reverse logic
-“not rolling away”/"not releasing " after a tackle
This 2 are the basics of how a ruck starts and are mandatory functions in the ruck contest before you bind!
-“joining ruck from a side” ,maybe we should get a penalty if we mash bind to hard

I will skip for a moment mauls and scrums since they look like “work in progress” but i think only what is above will be tones of work for you !
Personally i dont want the game to provide the complete union book of laws but at least to have risk/reward option in game’s basics and key scenarios!

ps: in todays games i see more often air-contests than a 5 man ruck even is ok to have that in the game

Different scorebugs are a great thing about R25.

Any chance of an update to the one Super Rugby is using this year?

[Gothenqcowboys]

Hopewe get this years reds jersey

Hi Team,

Patch Feedback - PS5

Great to see URC Teams updated with kits, players and stats. Squad depth is pretty good.

• One aspect that was dissapointing was that The URC Fixtures are not updated for 2025/26. We are still playing the coach career fixtures for 2024. I thought this would be a straight forward thing to implement considering everything is updated with kits and licensing.

Great to see Super Rugby Teams updated with players and some stats. Squad depth is a bit light on but good we can add our own custom players if we choose.,

• One aspect that was dissapointing was that the Super Rugby Pacific Kits are not yet updated for 2026. Any timeframe on when this will happen ?

Premiership rugby also has no updated Kits.

I lodged Ticket #43799. So what I have discovered is that some players are not visible in the game under roster management but visible in change team lineups. Some squads will say maximum 51 players , 53 or 54. Actually you have 55 players there but the invisible ones are not counted in the overall count so it will say you can’t add anymore than 53 but two players are invisible. The invisible players though are counted under position breakdown list.
So it will say for instance you have 6 Scrumhalf’s but only 5 are viable on the screen. Specific example , Blue Bulls - Players - Sithole - Loose Head Prop and Centre - Van Niekerk are invisible. Also for Scarlets - N8 players Kossouth are Sparrow are invisible but you can see them in Team Line up menu.

I can see this is also happening in Super Rugby Squads so I think this bug is across the whole game.

Hopefully you can understand and fix this bug soon.

I only played two matches so far in URC. What I have noticed is that it’s harder to be penalised for offside. I not sure of this is working as it should and will continue to monitor the referee behaviour. I ran a few players out of the line but referee did not penalise them if they had not got back to defence line in time for Ai to pass ball from ruck. Perhaps referee only penalises if a player directly tackles after being offside.

Injuries are still a bit questionable ? I will up
It to Extreme and see what happens. Only had 1 player injured out of both sides ( None for Ai) on two matches on realistic setting. URC.

Anyway that’s all for now. Hopefully we don’t wait too long for updated Super Rugby Kits.

Thanks for the continuous hard work on the game.

@Rugbygamer40 I noticed the offside issue too. Looks like the ref no longer calls advantage if a player is in an offside position. They will only give a penalty if that offside player makes a tackle.

[Tigersmad83]

As the gameplay feedback is being done to death, some idea for cut scene could have a physio treating the injured player and bring the tee on for goal kicks

Hi @JNT_BA … just a update I’ve been playing since the new latest patch and to be honest very good and positive update I mean like I said from where the game started and where it is now you can definitely see the differences and I know its not easy for you guys but I mean atleast we can play a rugby game .. I mean to see the dirt on the kits and players and the new test match game mode and anthems for some teams its really nice to see and all the other things included so thanks for that @JNT_BA

So just a few things I also want to say and maybe you can take a look at … I know the game is not perfect and it still needs alot of work on gameplay especially we need that … I will like to see Set Pieces in the game I mean cross kick and like a good set piece with the backline that would be so nice in the game and to score a try like that Rucks needs work it feels a little bit unrealistic and then also support runners its almost there but still feels if they are still a little bit behind when Im passing … then I realized I played a game now and I was winning 24-21 and in the 80th min the AI had the ball so they decided to kick the ball out everytime the AI did this but they can still win the game … Also with TMO the timing soo when its TMO the commentator says its a try before even the ref take a looks at it so maybe a fix if we can get that

But at the end thanks @JNT_BA hope you can take a look at this
