I had it work, not that regular though. Yes, the dummy seems to work more as a side step too.
Wish we could beat more than one player too!

Has anyone reported the broken Quick Throw in?
I expect so mate, itās been broken since day one. Even when it works properly, the thrower gets penalized.
Hello Guys,
It would be nice if there wasānt a scrum on heavy injuries. Sometimes, It just cancels a try !
Could you make the player wait on the ground for the next game stop ?
Anyone having issues with using custom logos. My game still crashes every time. Whether itās on kits or stadiums. Logged a ticket. It worked for that day and now itās back to crashing every time. Just wanted to see if itās a common issue by chance.
Will there be a patch update today?
Understand thereās probably licensing issues surrounding it, but an update to the comps or at least SRP to reflect the new seasons fixtures would be unreal. Want to play play a full season of super rugby without just being in quick match
Jumped into Rugby Challenge 3 recently and it is now my prefered rugby game. Its lacking a lot of set pieces etc (so is R25) but its probably worth noting the smoothness of animations, fluidity of passes and supporting runners. Knock ons, rucks, penalties, rules of the game, atmosphere and enjoyment feels lightyears ahead of R25 personally.
Highly recommend deep diving into previous titles to understand what is missing/not working with the game currently and how it can be applied in future titles. I just hope R27 isnāt a re-skin, or an add-on for R25

Yeah, R25 still does not feel right in player movements. I also keep having random knock ons without dropping the ball, sometimes I am awarded a scrum when I have the ball too. Defence is so bad, I have no control over it and player selection has been asked to be fixed from day 1. No atmosphere in the game either. I had a game last night (France v Argentina), on easy, and I could not stop Argentina from scoring. Each time they got the ball it was a bump off/fend off, break line and score. There were barely any rucks due to how they offloaded or broke tackle and I think it ended up at halftime 63-0 before I exited and then tried on medium and had a close game - makes no sense. I pick up Rugby 22 - with the weird as animations - but have more fun with gameplay on that than R25 unfortunately.

Will there be a patch update before the weekend?
Ok. Iām going to cause a stir but hey, donāt care. This is my take.
The game for me is great n terms of player models (lightyears ahead of RL or AFL and Madden or CFL (college Football) so that I love.
But this is where my love for it stops. These are the issues.
Try scoring motions ā need a huge overhaul. Like scoring a layup in NBA 2k, a TD in Madden, a goal in FIFA (what used to be FIFA) one thing these games ensure are the celebrations of having scored the TD/Goal/Backet. That is the icing on the cake after the effort to get to the Rim/Goal/Endzone. Please, get rid of this pathetic generic try scoring where the player dives with the ball in his arm extended out like its stupid as this is not how tries are scored especially by elite player or grassroots. Itās an ugly description to this great game as NFL and NBA and FIFA show, the showmanship or class of scoring.
Attacking lines and Defence lines. Please, please, please have these lines out from sideline to sideline to make the realism of the sport. About 70% of attacks, the team are always bunched up near the ball that when you want to spread the ball out wide, you canāt as nobody is set out there. At least have the Wingers/Midfielders as our AI (non-controlled players) set up outside the attack. Please do this as this should have been fixed since day one and donāt anyone tell me that Rugby Challenge is better because that game had exactly the same problem and was NEVER fixed and still isnāt.
AI line breaks. This is seriously out of control. No matter what, the AI will always break the first tackle and you can have you entire defence out wide (struggling to even do this at times with the lack of control to force players out wide) the AI break/fends my defender and I have to bring in the FB or worse, have another player run back to cover defend but even that is a struggle when the selection of that player goes to everyone but your defender who is the closest to the ball carrier. Someone once wrote me saying itās the only way for the AI to at least get through to score. Thatās BS. In Madden, you have your strongest player strong, your fastest players, fast, and they can always make a tackle, but now and then, with skill, the AI can slip past your defender. Thatās the realism of the game, base it on skill level and power an not just blatant unlimited fends, it becomes pointless when the AI makes a break, I have my FB like Will Jordan on 99% yet he gets fended by the AI halfback who is 78% rating. Have the AI smarter, with grubber kicks, chip kicks, cross kicks etc. Make it challenging in that perspective as there is no challenge in just watching the AI roll over all my players on itās first tackle.
Anitmations is vital as it is in all games. Give me the option to selection my try scoring reaction. Allow me to make a big hit and please stop with the hug tackle that even the RL game does. If one thing Rugby Challenge has over this game are the bone crunching tackles. They are low and look more Rugby realistic. This game has the engine to allow the more realistic animations.
Try scoring ā can we PLEASE stop with every try being a dive in the air. Even my Locks are diving for the tryline.
I love the models of the game as it makes the feel a realism more reactionary for me to re-play this game for hours. But, you must compliment it with motions and celebrations to place that icing on the cake.
I know, set plays MUST come in at some point. Please for both attack and defence.
I know the game has all itās licensed teams which is why you cannot remove players from international teams or official club teams. But why not? Itās simple to remove an entire roster for Madden, NBA 2K, the more elite games. Please allow some room to allow us to update the roster. I know some will say use the community teams. Yeah nah.
Creations ā please allow the ability to copy/past current team jerseys. Also, what is up with the Logos when almost 90% we canāt see those Logos theyāre blacked out you see just the names. How are we supposed to know what it looks like?
Captains ā¦ why can we not have the selected Captain in the selection menu? I selected Cody Taylor as my All Blacks captain but for me, it was showing a different player?
And my last one ā¦ in Competition creation ā¦ can we please have Pools added to the creation, or a competition where it doesnāt have to have a Finals.
I tried to create the Tri-Nations between NZ, South Africa and Australia with playing each other twice, but it will only allow with a Finals. This is ridiculous. Please fix to allow points table at the end of the regular season wins it all.
Just another thing ā¦ can we please fix the running motion ā¦ the players look slightly like they are gliding on the grass.
I canāt see why what Rugby Challenge has in terms of player motions that this game canāt take to the next level especially with the game engine used for this Rugby game.
I have more but Iāll save for later.
This is just my suggestion for the next patch for the update.

Agreed, Big Ant are on the cusp of something great here!
Just a couple more implementations especially breaks in plays, more intuitive ai and player ratings/skills coming through and having an impact in game play.
TBH I think game sliders will solve 90% of all these issues as we could then taylor the game to what brings us most enjoyment ie:
More penalties, aggressive ai, more challenging placement kicks and wind actually having an impact!
I have extensively played both RL 26 and cricket 24 and the game sliders have made it a completely customisable experience and literally the difference is chalk and cheese!
Please please implement game sliders!

I just wish we had Sliders for Team Attack and Defence. As a minimum with Team performances.
At the moment if we want a team to be poor defensively we need to edit and adjust every single players tackle skills.,
For instance - Moana Pasifika , Western Force. Zebre Parma. I would like to lower their defence as a whole instead of just individual players.
