Every time a match starts I get the message “your ps5 is overheating please switch off your playstation” . Does anyone else get this message?

My PS5 did that about a year ago with FC25 and eventually the internal fan packed up.
Just some better animations aswell that is related to gameplay.better Running, sidestep, tackle, fend and passing animations would improve the gameplay and the game drastically. Looks how good the gameplay is for RC4, thats just because theve got good animations and thats allowed them to improve the other aspects of the game such as stadiums and pitch graphics and it looks well good. I want BA to do well so if they could make a good rugby game im sure there company would also grow a lot.

Game needs more quick rucks and players running onto passes from the ruck and generally faster players and faster passing. The tempo of the game feels a bit flat for me.

Or talk to us once a month.
If they don’t want to update rosters, uniforms or stadiums, let us do it by moving players around in Community and allow us to edit all the default teams.
Give us a roof option for created stadiums.
Add a way to edit stadiums, scorebugs and fields with advertising. The logo share is already in the game.

Ye exactly, at this stage I feel as if we need some sort of communication on were the games going

Honestly, I would be happy if we just got these things
Tactics: 3 man pods and maybe set plays, I know they’re working on something like this
Bug fixes: I think after the Tactics update the team should focus on fixing all of the reported glitches with the game before stopping development on the title. I’ve put multiple tickets in about the TMO, having your loose head always be captain etc, hopefully they can fix a good few of these.
Sliders: Right now the sliders aren’t clear. The numbers seem random and we don’t know how our values will look on the pitch, and since we can’t edit sliders mid game it’s very tedious to test. Hopefully sliders can be made more clear. Also, some of them don’t seem to work. I put ruck turnovers at 0 for all pitch areas and I was still experiencing them. Also, the default sliders for the diffucties are completely wrong.
More customising: Allow us to edit the rosters of licenced teams fully, allow us to remove players add players and all. So then we can keep on updating our own squads if you guys don’t want to.
Career Mode and Tournaments: Finally, could you update the tournament fixtures? Like in Career mode add the 25 26 fixtures(as I assume you aren’t updating for 26 27 rosters) so at least the rosters(which are from 25 26) are up to date with the fixtures. Also, could you update the Six Nations schedule? Finally, could you allow us to have more options when creating tournaments, so we can make our own World Cup, Rugby Championship, Nations Championship, etc.
Thanks @JNT_BA @AZZ_BA and the team for the continued support even years after the release. Hopefully the end of the game cycle can be good.

Hi BA a couple of cosmetic things on the game that i surprised isn’t there when a player is yellow or red carded its doesn’t show on the score graphic the other thing is at the start of the game when the line-ups come on screen the replacements, bench, was wondering if this was going to change?

@JNT_BA @AZZ_BA It seems that I can’t upload videos here so I’ll just tell you guys to check it for yourselves. I have already put in a ticket for this.
Start a match on Hardest Difficulty. The base one. It plays like the game has always played. Then make a new slider set and use Hardest Difficulty as the base, and don’t change ANYTHING else. Then use this new custom Difficulty and you will see what I mean when I say the default sliders are broken. From kickoff you wont be able to make it past the 5 while the AI can launch it into dead ball. You will tap the kick button in open play and the ball will go to the moon. Turnovers every single ruck. See it for yourself if you don’t know what I’m talking about.
Thanks.
They are not broken, they just do not work how you expect. It is the same for RL26. Setting all the sliders to the default of “Hardest” does NOT equate to the built in default setting also called “Hardest”
I think BA also mentioned this when they added the sliders, it is not exactly the same.
I understand your frustration though, you expect when you select your starting point as Hardest you would then be modifying the built in default Hardest level, but you are not.
You have to understand it is like using one new level of settings, call it the Custom level if you want, and you are modifying this new Custom level of game play.
Any news on a new title or future update about the game BA?
Fair enough, but I still believe that they should at least be somewhat close, for example my kick off distance was at the minimum I think I genuinely couldn’t get the kick off 10 metres
Yes, totally agree. They should really be the exactly the same. If not, then they should not use the same level setting names to avoid the confusion.

Needs much more polishing, but made some changes to the sliders on hard difficulty and the game has been playing fairly good. Turnovers happen at the ruck when they should. Rucks have become a game in itself which I like. You really have to treat each ruck differently. Most of the time on offense and defense only adding 2-3 at the ruck with the rare 4 and 5 added at the correct moment when the AI is taking to long or does not support the ruck. Game still needs many things but it is headed in right direction.
Things needed:
- Tackling player stand and Jakal on rare occasion when you isolate the offensive player.
- Set plays
- Pod set up, although I think the current tactic does help to keep possession depending on what your doing with the ball. Example Split the forwards if going wide.
- 1st player arrival pick and go if no challenge at the ruck,
- Sidestep animation, needs to be quicker, has been improved but you still have to anticipate way to early.
Have played and really tried to test the ruck with two fairly even team, user vs AI on Hard difficulty these are my tips.
- Most of the time, only add 2 players to the ruck on offense and defense, with occasional 1 or 3.
- On offense quickly add 2 rucking players and quickly make a selection left or right on the left analog stick, for quick ball or press the pass button or pass icon quickly . If you don’t confirm your selection, you will get turned over. If the Ai slams the ruck with many at the ruck then you have to anticipate and do the same.
- Don’t run away from your supporting rucking players, and don’t out sprint your support, use sprint selectively, If you sprint into a corner or up the middle without support you will get turned in the ruck by the AI. The game needs polish and tuning but overall plays realistically at the ruck.
- Use your tactics when you can, not sure if is a placebo, but it does seem that selecting the correct tactic does help with certain style of play. Like split the forwards wide, if you want more rucking support going wide. In the sliders I use the slider that gives the most time to set up tactics. I think its how long ref allows you to hold before he forces you to use it.
Hands in the ruck needs some tuning, still getting hands in the ruck when the player is not even in the ruck. Seems to be improved some last patch, still needs more tuning.
The AI kicks the ball out of bounds if it’s losing to finalize the game instead of trying to score a try tours the end of the game. This needs to be fixed.
Overall been having fun with the game, and it has been much improved, but there is still much room for improvements. But I like the improvements they are making is to try and keep the game true to rugby and not some arcadey version of Rugby.

Jnt already said on multiple occasions when theres something concrete it will be announced.
He has also mentioned that along with the rucking update, some work is being done on tactics whether that is merely to simplify the user inputs required to change tactics or something deeper we will find out in due course.
I wouldnt expect squad and kit updates this late in the games cycle as it involves a load of work on a 2 year old game.

Good suggestions, my experience;
- sidestep never works - this is such a fun part of rugby, nailing a good sidestep to break the line. I can never seem to do one.
- rucks - I can be the first player (defending) in and 100% of the time called for hands in the ruck when it should be AI being penalised for holding.
- scrums - not sure what has happened but 100% of the time if I get one push slightly off I am penalised - AI does not happen to them. Still cannot pass of the base of a ruck (simple thing)
- rucks are still ping/pong. While I hear what you say, you cannot build momentum and hard to play a forwards-based game, tight to the ruck as it gets turned over.
- Flyhalf is mostly in the wrong position. I think I kick with fullback or centre most of the time.
- Support is so slow. I get what you say above, do not run away and isolate. However, they are so slow to react and cleanout.
- I now find my players offside not being pinged and intercept offside.
- Had 2 games yesterday where, during lineout, my 9 was at the front and would not move. When I won a ball it would hit the ground (and we all know the issue of not being able to pick up a loose ball).
- Fends suck too. (why didn’t they do similar to RL26??)
Fun things (like above) a better side-step or Jonah step (run over top of them) to score. Being tackled over the line is 100% held up even though player puts ball on the ground. Would be good to see crash over tries.
Game has certainly improved but still a long way off.
All we can hope is a new game with better design as I do not see them fixing these when title is almost dead.

Ive just played some other game made my BA like rl26 and afl 26. One thing I will say is there needs to be better tackle animations. It looks very stiff and robotic, not many tackles that wrap around the lower legs especially for a cover tackle and the player that gets tackled needs to react better to the hit, atm the player just except the hit but in other games like RC4 you can see a struggle in the tackle and movements of the player trying to break free. Other animations need improving, passing and running being 2 important ones.
Another improvement thats off this subject, but stadiums and crowds need to look more dramtic and realistic to give the game less of an arcade look. Course I know theres gonna be no more big updates for rugby 25, so hopefully suggestions like these and others that the community other will get taken into consideration for the next title.
