My game keeps closing whilst I’m playing a game
At this stage, using gameplay structure from R22 could save this game and will make it great. Can then iron out any specific improvements.
Can anyone access Steam Deck now ? I can’t get Rugby 25 to load. It just stalls and goes black once it try’s to load up and then goes back to game steam screen to press “Play” on game Rugby 25 title page.
I lodged a ticket , just wondering if anyone else can play on Steam ?
I have this on PS5 just was trying to get into Steam to share more players onto Fan hub that I created in EA.
They did not make rugby 22… so they don’t know how the systems work from rugby 22. N match engine is not just plug and play it would link much deeper into the rest of the game. What you are suggesting is a complete rebuild.
A complete rebuild then, what we currently have is unplayable. Just my opinion, no need to get technical here haha.

Good day
Firstly I like creating content, so for the first few days I was busy with that, in between the creation I tried a little bit of gameplay and must say the strategic play and set lines, passing, League tackles, scrumhalf picks ball up with no structure etc. needs alot of work.
Also I have it on PS5 and since the last update last night (SA Time) the game crashes before it starts a Game (competition mode).
I don’t really want to put more negative on the game and BA team as this is not really productive, but please we have been waiting for a good Rugby game for a while.
I didn’t purchase any game from Rugby 15 onwards as there was no custumisation options. I really did like the Rugby Challenge series, even if their differences from 1-4 was not that big.
I urge you BA to bring out the best in this game (It has alot of potential), I liked your cricket games as well so I know you can do it!
Thanks

I agree a rebuild is required and the current match engine is complete garbage. Just wanted to point out rugby 22 codebase is not really an option.

The AI seem to do nothing but one out pass

Hello, will we subsequently be able to make transfers within the teams because when I remove a player from a squad he disappears. And when I want to add a player to a squad, we can only take players created by the academy. it is very important for my lifespan of the game to be able to modify the squads as in most sports games

Hi guys,
Here are some bugs I noted :
- The last pass to the winger often finishes in touch (he really needs to align with the ball carrier)
- Random penalties when having the ball
- Wrong kickers (the choosen one appears only for kick off and conversion)
- Wrong names (position appears instead)
- Impossible to add custom players to “official rosters”
- Custom players stats does’nt seem to work like official ones. I think the 3 chosen positions was supposed to give more points to some stats but they’re not the good ones and it is unrealistic… A lot of forwards in the game are more fast than backs.
Game improvement :
- Penalties in rucks (depending on discipline or bad use of jackal)
- More ball drops (on tackles : with good tackle stats - On passes : bad handling skills) For now cpu can keep the ball 10 minutes with no variation.
- Same topic but cpu should use kick after 4-5 game phases without advances. It would be realistic.
- Making the players in the back of the line static to have the time to adjust kickings) For the moment, the ball receiver is advancing towards the defense and has no time to kick.
- Possibility to change the stadium and players of an official team.
Thanks for your efforts !

Also had issues with whatever changes I make when selecting my lineup in career it always reverts back to the lineup it was before. Also not sure where my transfers are going as aren’t in my squad but they have agreed to join my club. Has happened over multiple seasons

yes I have the same problem and I hope it’s just a bug because it’s very important for my lifespan of the game to be able to modify the selections

I feel the same Alex! Hopefully Big Ant can shed some light on this? Also we were able to do in cricket and previous leagues titles, so I really believe it’s a glitch.

Surely we’ll get something today? Or is it months/ weeks before hot fixes come in?

Please look at RWC2011 and their rucking mechanics!! Its the best i have seen in a rugby game. For those unaware, you press to add players to the ruck and add strength, this filled a bar, if your bar was higher than the opposition then you win the ruck. This all happened really fast and slick. If you pressed to much then the bar goes red, although this is over whelming the opposition, it also increases the chances of penalties. Its easier to win rucks if you have momentum, if you are the better team or if you are in possession. And you do have to work hard to turnover. However, if you are first to the ruck, you do have an opportunity to jackel. Theres a risk to reward in this, and picking your moments to risk penalies and gain a turnover is crucial.
That game did the ‘on pitch’ gameplay the best in my opinion. I know alot of people slept on this game because it lacked game modes. (Rwc is pretty much all you could do) but the the actual rugby gameplay is spot on. Has momentum that you could actually feel, the crowd reacted, rucks and penalties reacted. Animations that all worked, allowing you to make meters in contact etc. Passing spot on, 2v1s worked. Simple but effective tactical options, using set plays and being able to kick in open play. Tactical kicking was a really effective way to play the game. The ai was clever, and made realistic decisions, playing against ronan o gara was ridiculous because his tactical kicking was insane and playing against england was hard because they took points and drop goals at every opportunity. The cut scenes really immersed you and replays of every key moment. Commentary was amazing.
For those that arnt familier with the game, it was a more polished rugby 08 without all the game modes.

Hello Team,
Tough start, not gonna lie.
But i know you gonna work to bring this game in a better position.
I reported all the bug i found, so here and now i will share my suggestions.
(The screens that follows are all in ITALIAN but i think you can understand)
Training is really cool. A nice way to keep the carrer intersting throughout the seasons.
But could be better; I think some sort of base training for “Forward” and “Backs” and “Attack” and “Defense” would be great. At the end the IRL training are both separeted by the 2 major groups and then you train the whole team by putting more interest in either defense or offense.
Than i would improve the selection of the players to train, right now is a bit of a mess. So integrating with what i said before, option to train whole team, option to train Forward and Back separated, and option to train specifics players.
Love the “Personal” Section where you choose to prioritized some aspect instead of others. But i would love to have this replaced with actual People to “Assume”, something like engaging a player but for coaches, doctors ect…
with contracts that you have to pay and renew.
If Set Piece are coming into the game maybe a better “Offense coach” could get you more and cool set piece.
Please let us have “Costum Competition” Creator, so we can create the new Competion (like competition that are not licensed in the game).
Also please let us “Replace” or Better “Add” Comp in the carrer mode.
So following what’s above please increase the number of teams from 8 to as much as you can. I would love to have a tournament with all the Nations in the game…
P.S.: I noticed that in every carrer game the stadium is always full. Suggest to decrase or increase fans in the stadium based on the results.
Thanks again.
The game has a strong imprint, a lot of thing are incredbly well thoughts and made, but the Gameplay department has to work more to bring the game to a great state…
