Rugby 25 Megathread

I’m noticing the floated big air passes too

AI still very tough on easy from Friday update

Meh some better feeling around speed differences but again the attacking play is weak and boring. You can’t hit gaps either you will always get auto tackled. Overall it’s frustrating

Whats happened to Stamina? This was 79 minutes into a match, and up until 70 minutes all players had full stamina, meaning there was zero point in making any subs!

Also the animation of diving for a try, which is then interrupted by a tackle, resulting in the player getting back to their feet mid dive is ridiculous!

Yes that was the other point I meant to mention. Since the patch and todays hot fix the stamina hardly goes down.

Therefore what @Deker79 is saying is correct, it’s not worth making substitutions.

About to try my next game: Aviron Bayonnais v Montpellier in my Top 14 season mode.

We’ll see how this plays. My previous game ended Saracens 0-14 Sale Sharks in my Premiership season mode. Hopefully it may play a little better but I am not too confident that it will.

Edit: Big Ant :ant: why have you done away with passing down the line. I’m watching my match now and neither side are passing, the game is stuck in constant slow as hell rucks, and the teams can hardly get passed each other’s 10 metre line.

Please just roll the game back a couple of patches please!!! It played a lot better. Whatever you have done with yesterday’s patch and todays supposed hot fix has broken the game.

Dear oh dear sigh :pensive_face:

Is the original author glitching when sharing players ? I created some now it’s saying someone else is original author

Playing one Series X

Pleasantly suprised, the latest update was the best game ive had so far. Double knock on called correctly by the ref, multiple tries scored by the AI, and i lost the game 21-12.

Apart from the obvious penalty, ruck, mall, scrum, lineout systems that have been covered here i noticed my game went pink at forsyth barr stadium, once i restarted the match from the main menu it was fine

Is it possible to add the “marks” in the 22m?

How on earth is it that I can essentially fend offload and score at will on the hardest setting but the opposition still can’t string together a few passes??

Stop releasing 4-5 improvements every week that are barely improvements, and in fact are most of the time taking a step backwards. Get one thing right, move to the next.

I just put 50 on the hurricanes with Moana in a 5 minute game on the hardest setting. That’s just ridiculous. The hurricanes were over my ball so often before my players, yet no turnovers.

Come on big anyone the hardest setting, if the defence gets on the ball first, it should be a turnover 90% of a time. There you go, thats an easy win to add to the level settings.

On the next game I didn’t even play the controller and the chiefs couldn’t even score. Infact, they kept getting pushed back in defence and reverting to kicking. What the actual hell??

Passing into space, offloading, ruck turnovers.. Make it happen for the AI asap.

I still can’t believe player names aren’t shown. Instead we have 'Fly Half’s. BIGANT, sell the players!!

Still can’t select a team in a competition.

Still can’t jackle.

The AI passing was going somewhere now it’s just boring hit ups like league again.

Do you guys realize how much money you could make if you make this into a good product by the Lions tour??? Then there’s the RWC in 27. By 27 we might have a game where the players don’t get pinged for offside from a forward pass and actually get pinged for being offside.

online can you make the jerseys not look too similar?

Hi Team,

Just feedback on Red Cards.

I got my first Send off today. It was the Ai Senegal Number 8 player who did 3 High tackles during the whole match. 1 in first half and 2 in Second half.

I also had another high tackle occur on second half by a different Senegal player.

So as it appears I not sure if the Red Card is issued for 3 high tackles in the match by the same player ? or because we had 3 high tackles in second half by 2 players on the same team ? Another interesting thing is with the Animation with the Send Off the referee first showed a yellow card, then the red. I don’t have screen shot of the yellow but I have the video on my YouTube channel but I thought I share the screenshots on this forum to show that Red Cards can occur. Video time stamp 39:35

The offside rule isn’t quite perfect at times. Even when I do it on purpose, I rarely get yellow cards, and I haven’t seen a single red card during a match! No cards online either. Good luck, I love this game.

Yes, the regression in the AI passing is particularly disappointing.And have you noticed that AI kicks to touch to end the half/game are falling way short again? Both of these features were fine before Thursday. How does all the progress get undone so easily?

Had another small update on Steam and the first game back was back to winning by 60 points? What was the second update?


Well whatever was done in the second patch … absolute pants.

2nd game … I missed 5 kicks thanks to that infuriating kicking mechanic that makes you dribble the ball 2 metres :sweat_smile: 12 tries on hardest level in 5 minute halves. Game is back to being a waste of time to even pick up :skull:

Life's too short for pants

Hi Team,

I played two games on Hardest difficulty today. Custom Competition and Brazil Super 12
Coach Career. There is a bad bug issue seeing the Ai break my defence , run the ball into my in goal line area but then not ground the ball , just run sideways in goal and into touch. I have raised a ticket today and will provide video links for this in the ticket and time stamps in my YouTube videos. PS5. Ticket #29132. Thanks team

Big Ant :ant:, @JNT_BA

Please listen to your customer base. You have a lot of people here who are passionate about their Rugby Union, muse included.

The game was heading in the right direction until Thursday’s patch and Friday’s hot fix.

At the very least, next Tuesday, please revert the game back to last Tuesdays patch. That was so much better in a lot of ways.

I won’t waste my time listing everything again as I’ve already done that previously, and there are enough posts from other people on here who agree and have shared their views on the game also.

A simple roll back of 2 patches would make a world of difference for all of us. Then just build on that going forward.

I have faith in you Big Ant :ant: I really do. But for now I am going to put a hold on my top league competitions for now.

I’ll see what the next patch on Tuesday offers and go from there. A shame as I was enjoying the game.

We know you can do it. Just look at Cricket 24, Tie Break, and AFL. Those were games with rocky starts shall we say. But eventually they became good.

I know Rugby 25 will too, just don’t lose your player base before you manage to get it playing well.

Many thanks :+1:

There might be an issue in the Career Mode for the custom players.
I tried to add some of the creations from Kapcha and some of mines.

  • I assigned NZ Team and Toulon to Nonu. He is not showing either in “Available” and “Unavailable” Search for Players lists. It is probably because he is more than 40 yo.

  • I can see Cooper (AUS Team) and Genia (AUS Team) in the “Available” player list.

  • I can’t see SBW (NZ Team), Aaron Smith (NZ Team) and Israel Dagg (NZ Team) in both “Available” and “Unavailable” lists

If I change SBW, Aaron Smith and Dagg from NZ team to Australian Team, I can now see them in the Career.

Thanks for the HOTFIX, but i think that unfortunately has not resolved anything perhaps broke something…

AI now stops when receives the ball and cannot alway find the right “pathways” to run…
Video senza titolo - Realizzato con Clipchamp

The first problem results in AI loosing momentum and killing every chance to have a treating attack.
The second one let the game feel rediculus…
Ai has no ““Fear”” of the touch line, so AI play there has there’s no real consequence to be tackle near there…

Please work it out. Patch on Tuesday was great, i had a lotttt of fun, now on hardest i feel like playing with my little cousin that can’t find the right button to do something…

Please please.

P.S.: AI should be more aggresive on rucks, should aiming and obtein jackals more often,
They should use A more or basically always…

Yes I seeing this with Ai getting into my goal line. They should be scoring but instead they don’t ground the ball and run into dead ball line.,
