To be fair though, Fifa does get released yearly as opposed to the 8-year wait for the league. If you compare this year’s Fifa to the one back in 2017 there would be (I assume anyway) a substantial amount of differences and improvements.

Rugby 25 isn’t really that in-depth game is boring after 4 games janky and pretty much same gameplay from Ai from every game no variation in gameplay.
I will also add don’t get hopes up about leak gameplay is old build and day 1 update will be huge heard and seen it nothing huge changes r25 still in a bad state

Will there be a digital version available to purchase through the PlayStation store? When will that be available?

There is gameplay on youtube right now..

There is another video on Twitter/X Hullfcfanpage_ is the handle.
Looks similar to the old fanhub menu, showing the 2025 Hull FC team with 2 of their current jerseys, the 3rd alternative jersey is missing.
Likenesses look really good for both previous NRL players and for Hull’s academy and lesser known players.
Not sure the player ratings are what they should be, a few academy players and a semi retired prop are the highest rated so far!..

I’ve seen this menu somewhere #R25 :stuck_out_tongue:

Theirs a livestream on yt boys! Watch it from the start, Please not ross has confirmed this is a very old build not even version 1.0 and is closer to 0.3 so is very janky still. But graphics look amazing imo same with most player scans!

ross said game isnt finished and its just the base of it

It looks like a graphically improved RLL4 but the gameplay looks the same, hopefully the Patch makes big changes.

You must have missed the part where the prop chipped it on the last when he had open field in front of him 15 metres out haha

The stream is showing off player scans and it looks like none of the the Cowboys got scanned and I noticed a heap of roosters who hadn’t either. THe actual players who are scanned look amazing though

I’m just having fun watching the meltdowns on twitter lol

100 percent, this game is a copy & paste, if anything the gameplay was smoother in rll4, watching the beta the delay in the hooker going to get the ball is the same in the rugby game. So disappointing they didn’t even add in new plays atleast.

Not being able to get any sort of Quick PTB is not far off a gamebreaking issue IMO

Seen someone comment they’re giving us the bare minimum couldn’t be any more correct mate. Literally dressed up the menu, updated rosters/player likeness nothing we couldn’t do already on fanhub. The base was solid to build on just needed to smooth out gameplay atleast add 1 new play into the mix, or 1 new stepping,try,kicking animation but we got rll4 with rugby 25 delayed breakdowns after 8 years. Disappointed watch mrlukesports playing the beta right now on youtube

I’m glad I’m not on twitter in these situations.
What don’t people understand about what would clearly be ā€œpre alfaā€ gameplay? Big Ant doesn’t have to let these people with the game show it.

I am what some people definitely consider a part of the problem, in that I will take a league game in almost any scenario. I would probably draw the line if it were made by Wicked Witch.

From my perspective, I don’t buy games to support Big Ant, although I 100% understand that this is the end result. I buy the games to support League/Cricket games that just so happen to be made by Big Ant, if there were better alternatives, I have no allegiance to Big Ant.

Does anyone know if we will have the ability to edit ā€˜licensed’ player stats along with the ability to transfer players in and out of ā€˜licensed’ teams?

Either way we find out wednesday if big ant is slinging mud or not. A part of me is still hopeful because the players who are actually scanned look amazing in the menu’s but in game they definitely take a dive in quality.

If it launches like this beta or anything like it, it’s going to be refund city.

The gameplay was jankier than RLL3 and 4, and didn’t sound at all like what was described by some of the testers. Especially in terms of breaks, and support play and player movement/speed.

All hopes lay on the day 1 patch
