That’s literally my point. I’ve attempted to play six matches since I bought the game this morning and have yet to see the final whistle in any. I’ve only managed to get to half-time twice.
My point was “Improved Stability” is clearly nonsense if the game is still in this state.
Yes but they haven’t fixed the crashing issue , every game I play on PS5 crashes and that’s after the update this morning !! I don’t mind that they will make improvements , but the game needs to be playable first and you can’t get through a game without a crash . As I said earlier it’s fine if you don’t download the update , but then there is no six nations. So it’s something they have introduced in the update . That’s unforgivable. Sony will get hacked off with all the reports of crashing and cancel the game on PS store , as they have done for other games .
Strange how the Xbox Series version doesn’t crash as they are the same code right?
Are you seriously trying to suggest it’s Sony’s fault right now? 
PS5 and reading through this thread , I’m not the only one … so it’s not the actual PS5 itself .
Now, I’m not entirely sure how but this new update released today has somehow made the game worse…again I’m not sure how because it was awful before:joy: I got 3 random offside penalties, I give up man:joy:
Please can fix the game it keeps crashing
Been able to SIM thru a few seasons in career and it has some legs, games maybe 35% crash for me on PS4
Had one game I entered 125 rucks and won 15, very hard indeed - best chance to win the ball back is to hang around offside or push up early and guess the way the AI will pass!
Career mode was interesting, nobody came available of any decency to sign first season, second season got loads Dupont, M Smith and maybe 5 other worldies - another few seasons and nothing else really, player development works though, Jac Morgan was a 96 on 4th year!
In November 2027 I did get into a “rugby world cup’ tournameant just 8 internationals which was interesting.
Team of the season interesting as all over the place, Dan Cole (prop) was the full back of the year hmmm
lol I just updated the game and it doesn’t even open on PlayStation anymore. Shambles
Just managed to finish 5 games in a row on EAFC 25 … and guess what no crashes , so definitely not a hardware issue , and still no known issues or feedback on Rugby 25 . this is looking ominous for the game I’m afraid
I just won the 6 nations, didn’t even get a trophy or even a congrats, you won hahahaha fs
Val is currently writing a big feedback
Anyone else noticed how getting tackled when clear over the line results in the ball being “held up” even if the ball has been grounded?
Maybe have Tutorials where the 6N menu currently is? Got one eye on those picking up the game for the first time here.
So I really want this game to work. The presentation, licenses, player graphics etc are top notch. The gameplay needs considerable work but I think the potential is there. Currently the games are very random and control is all over the place. The gameplay of rugby challenge 4 was more entertaining. Passing and rucks need work.
But Big Ant please keep going. You have the framework for a great product here and looking forward to seeing what you can do with it. I’m keeping the faith as we rugby fans need a decent game!
Hi didn’t have EA so just bought the game, I just need advice on rucking need help when to press what to compete for the ball thanks
Visually stunning, gameplay needs a ton of improvements.
The game looks great but, as others have said, it feels months from being the finished product. I do, however, think that it is possible to get there and give the studio my full moral support in that endeavour.
Just a few points I would like to make off the top of my head are:
What an absolute let down. Basically not rugby at all and just a money hungry attitude releasing a game no way near finished to cash in for the 6 Nations and Super Rugby. P poor effort.
Have watched from afar during early access and just downloaded the game to PS5. Managed to get a quick game in whilst its installing and a few of things were immediately apparent:
The passing just isn’t responsive at all. It’s almost impossible to string more than 2 passes together, bringing up the icons to pass is also sluggish meaning getting basic miss passes and 2 on 1s is difficult and spreading the ball wide is frustrating.
At one point I had a great break down the right with my number 7 with the winger in support. I depressed the sprint button to allow the winger to catch up, the winger was in a great supporting position on my outside to take an easy pass, and just as the fullback was about to tackle the 7, I released a perfectly timed pass using the right trigger and where did the pass go, straight into touch. Absolutely basic for a rugby game but a total fail.
The rucks, as many have said need work. Is there a jackal animation, as numerous times when I isolated the ball carrier and had the tackler plus one more player around him and was in an ideal position to steal the ball there was nothing, and no turnover despite me repeatedly hitting the jackal button.
There is also way too much teleporting going on which makes the game just look messy and leads to unrealistic situations adding to the frustration.
I’ll no doubt have a lot more to add in the coming days and will submit as many support tickets as possible to aid the ongoing development, but it is a good looking game!
