Rugby 25 Megathread

Have been a big supporter of the game, and I think it plays a fairly fun game. But I just don’t understand where sliders will fix what is not that there. I am a big fan of sliders, but I think it is more important to fix or add the intended original features first. You can’t adjust something with a slider when its missing from the game.

  1. The isolated jackal(Rucks), (which was supposed to be Y button on x-box) is missing, On the defensive end this is the equivalent of scoring a try. (this must be fixed)
  2. Holding on penalties in Rucks along with Hand in the ruck infringements.(Huge part of Rugby)
  3. scrum system that also has proper scrum penalties, so that it is more risk vs reward. I am a fan of scrums and think they are very important, but the current outcomes are not fun. The system is fairly good, but not enough variety in outcomes. And outcomes that reward you for playing the system to perfection.
  4. Set plays ?
  5. The game has progress to a fairly fun game, but still to many extremely important features, that were intended to be in the game from the beginning are missing to make it a good rugby game.

Would be good to concentrate on finish adding these features before adding sliders.

There needs to be on Online player regions,im sick of having to quit so many games because they started because im pairing up with southern hemisphere players and the connection is 400ms which makes the game unplayable this is a basic game concept that every game has even small ones why wasnt it here since the start

U also cant see other people’s teams in online until they select their team. So I could pick a club team then the opposition could pick new zealand thinking that im an international team for example. Would be nice to see each others selection process to make the game fair.

The first up missed tackles: am I doing something wrong or is it pre programmed?

Theres no skill involved in tackling so probs pre programmed

So I’ve played 3 games, 1 on medium and 2 on hard and the number of missed tackles on medium was mad! Are the difficulties right? I found hard much easier than medium

This problem has been pointed out for months. It’s indeed very annoying, like the selection of the nearest defender, etc…

I would say, the 2 games I had on hard were a lot of fun. Tactical variety would be nice, but good fun

I actually prefer there not on here every 2 minutes as that says to me that they are busy improving on what we already have

Why would he travel to france for a 2 year old game ?

Games reaching the end of its dev cycle

Game will likely remain pants.

The sooner people accept this, the sooner they can stop demanding update news when they have been repeatedly told an update is being worked on but theres no ETA

So a small bit of extra info I can give is the next update will also include the ruck overhaul.

Still some things I would like some timing changes on as there are a few things that happen so fast your reaction time has to be .3 seconds which while fun to try to hit the opening, will cause a lot of pain points when it comes to online.

Rucks will also come along with its own set of sliders as well to tune. But when it drops I suggest playing around with it before modifying the specific ruck sliders.

Cool can’t wait to see how it feels, are you expecting patch this week or is it more likely 2/3 weeks away?

I was hoping by the end of the month. But I’m not 100% sure I’ll meet my target date. Still more work being done to sliders to make sure they are meaningful and actually make a valid impact. No point in giving a slider that has a 1% change that we can see in data but not in gameplay.

As well as some other ones like running speed. The faster the slider was set means your turning circle was like 2 degrees.

Hello JNT, can we hope for penalties on the rucks with this patch ? It would be a game changer for the better.

Thanks !

Thank you @JNT_BA for the update making sure sliders have a noticeable impact on the gameplay! Appreciate you taking the time to tune these and all your efforts to fix this game.

I went back to RC4 but am excited for the update when it comes.

All the best from the USA!! :united_states:

@JNT_BA thanks for the update on some of the things we can expect to see. Looking forward to the ruck revamp. Was something I fed back on quite a bit so interested to see what bits were possible to implement. Anything planned around player positioning. Apart from the obvious bug that players were standing off the field this was the best I’ve seen positioning in a while. The 10 is in a first receiver position (maybe a bit too behind the ruck), the right wing is the widest player, 12/13 are between them and finally two forwards are positioned as ball carriers ahead of the backline. Looks so much more organised. Hoping it wasn’t just a random bug and something that was being tested. Cheers
