Offside penalty on turnovers are still there. When 9 is standing on opponent side and moves back slowly.

On the crowd noise - ideally BA also need to send a sound crew round the most famous grounds to capture each clubās chants too. From a Gallagher Premiership perspective, Gloucester isnāt right without itās Shed roasting away teams for a knock on or a decision not going their way in theirā¦ unique tone of voice (āYou donāt know what youāre doingā is a chant which gets uttered regularly there) - same with most teams in the league. Harlequinsā fans are loud too, both home and away. Maybe something worth liaising with the clubs about during the next batch of photogrammetry.

In online mode, when player just leaves game to run in background not playing. Should then stop game and give win to other player. Happens quite a bit.
To have something like this in the game would do so much for the atmosphere, I hear the āOleā chant a lot and to be honest Iām not 100% sure whether a lot of other countries use this chant and being from SA I know for a fact we use it. I got excited when I heard it but that was in a game between The Sharks and Stormers, but then I heard it between a lot of other teams.
But having a loud crowd especially during line breaks, tries, penalty kicks, hard tackles or even try saving tackles would be awesome. Similarly having the crowd quiet down when their team is losing would be great. And having unique chants like you mentioned would be even better.

Will the passing mechanic hopefully change to look more realistic, for example players not just swinging their arms, but a bit of hip movement as well to capture a real rugby pass

So Iāve been experiencing my PS5 constantly telling me my console is overheating but only ever get this playing rugby 25, I can play call of duty,Madden 25, crusader kings never get an over heat warning but one game of rugby 25 and I get this warning, have got this issue since the grass was updated but no idea of that has anything to do with it
In my Romanian league, in very difficult conditions and with temporary exclusions activated, I was voluntarily offside 8 times and no yellow card! Can you give me yellow cards please! I love this game

Not even going to worry about todayās update, I know we are in for another disappointment.
Imagine paying full price ( Same as an AAA game) and being a Beta tester. And they are already moving to league 5
Youād be surprised what textures can cause overheating issues. The main culprits are usually foliage of some kind.
Iām not sure if there is an option to turn off grass. I donāt think there is.
I donāt get the overheating warning but I have noticed my PS5ās fan just start to whirr up a little. Like you I only notice this on Rugby 25. I can play the likes of AC Shadows, RDR2, and any other sports games and itās as silent as anything.
I do assume you clean the dust out of your console from time to time? Including the cooling fan.

The more I play this game both online and offline the more I realise that almost nobody kicks when playing multiplayer. Thereās almost no point to it. There are many occasions when there is no playmaker to kick with. When you can select one the clearances are hardly worthwhile. I really feel that despite whatever realism The developers are attempting with the distance of the kicks, that in a video game sense they arenāt going far enough to make it worthwhile.
Especially when you see what the opposition can do off a kick return, they will mow through your players with the fend and offload. So why kick?
In short Big Ant need to very quickly address kicking because right now it doesnāt feel like rugby union. Itās far more tempting to kick in rugby league games up to this point. I mean you have to at the end of a set. In this game you hand the ball to the opposition and give them an excellent chance at a try.
Everyone mentions Rugby 08, but from Rugby 06 on HB Studios had learned that kicking was too redundant in earlier games they had made so brought in Star players that could boot the ball about 60 metres and it was worth kicking with those players. Not to mention even the ordinary players could kick the ball a good 45 to 50 metres.
When is this lesson going to be learned by Big Ant? Iāve played a lot of multiplayer both online and off and the only kicking going on is kickoffs and goal kicking.

Just an idea I had today , could we have a button along with tackle button , for head to head contact and it can increase chance of an injury to other player
And it is an auto yellow card or red card?
Eg on Xbox one b button and maybe x and y at same time?

The big hit function from RLL is probably a better shout, more chance of spilling the ball, and dents their stamina, but if poorly timed then a risk of head contact.
Not sure a function specifically to try and headbut players is a good idea haha

The idea have been mentioned before :
- One button for āsureā tackle that never causes penalties but can let the attacker gain meters/ escape (when evasive stats)
- One button for āstrongā tackle that can cause penalties/ yellow cards but stops the attacker/ make the ball fall.
With this feature : more penalties/ turnovers, a real sense of risk/reward, dedicated animations for each type of tackle and a real importance for the ādisciplineā stat.

Not sure if anyone else has experienced this but when I make a kit for a custom team and going through the shorts options starting at 1 and going back, it skips all the way to 36 i think. Not huge problem but just thought Iād see if anyone else had this problem.
Usually around 14:00 uk time.
Itās out on steam, has been since 9.30ish
