There are still many aspects of both visual and audio that are feasible and can enhance the immersion of the game.
Dirty kits and sweat
A great detail in RLL4 is when in rainy matches players would get soaked and their kits would get muddy every time they hit the ground. Iâd love those details back, and it would be even better if it wasnât exclusive to rainy days. Simulating the sweat on the playersâ faces and little grass stains during the game would be amazing.
Different pitch colors and patterns
Either of these two options can give a more unique touch to each stadium, or leave it up to each user to use the design of their choice.
Louder crowds
I feel that the crowd audio by default is a bit overshadowed by the rest of the sounds and voices in the game. Itâs necessary in large stadiums for the crowd to have a big presence, especially during chanting.
Offside lines disabled by default
The individual indicators to show who is offside are simple and do the job. The lines, apart from serving exactly the same purpose, donât look very good aesthetically. Perhaps some players might find them more useful, but two options with the same function enabled is unnecessary.
Better pitch marking
Since EA4 I noticed that the pitch markings look much thinner for some reason. At certain angles or times of the day itâs really hard to see them.
Motion Blur
This effect helps to make player and ball movement feel more realistic especially during cinematics. Motion blur often affects performance, so if you are considering adding it, an option to turn it on/off would also be necessary.

Would love to see live updated player ratings based on form. Like in the fifa series. Even the quick match being the teams who are actually playing that day or the next upcoming one.

As in the world ranking because I too would like to see it. Something else I need it real commontators. That feeling of sitting down and playing rugby challenge 4 and hearing nisbo and justin marshals voice gives that game a sence of realism (ignore the graphics). But it would need to be done that there are commonrators for different countries so nisbo for nz sean mallony for aus so on so forth.

I would like the substitutions to be automatic (like the PES football game: early, late or flexible) it would help not to break the rhythm. The presentation of the teams before the match, like a photo gallery, the more complete commentaries in French, of course the seasons of various championships in career mode with official players and logos

In the career mode, for the RWC qualification, it would be cool to have the possibility to choose at the beginning of the career between real qualification system and a custom system

I would love to have a way to switch back to the rugby 22 passing style because I find it more intuitive, just adding an option would be nice.
Here are some key suggestions to improve the next rugby game to make it more fun, realistic, and engaging for players:
1. Gameplay Enhancements
Better AI
- AI-controlled players should react more intelligently, especially in defense, lineouts, and scrums. Introduce adaptive AI that adjusts based on player tactics.
Dynamic Weather & Field Conditions
- Introduce weather effects (rain, snow, wind) that affect gameplay, like slippery fields causing handling errors or wind affecting kicks.
Scrum & Lineout Overhaul
- Make scrums more interactive with skill-based mini-games, and improve lineout mechanics with real-time timing challenges for throws and jumps.
Advanced Tackling System
- Allow more control over tackling types (low, high, ankle tackles) and introduce risk-reward mechanics, such as high-risk tackles leading to cards.
2. Realism & Presentation
Licensing & Real Teams
- Secure more licenses for real teams, leagues, and stadiums to enhance immersion.
Player Likeness & Animations
- Improve player models and add more realistic running, tackling, and celebration animations, including unique ones for star players.
Dynamic Commentary
- Add a more reactive and varied commentary system that adapts to the intensity of the match and key moments.
3. Game Modes
Career Mode Overhaul
- Introduce a detailed career mode where players can start as an amateur and rise to professional rugby. Include off-field events like contract negotiations, media interactions, and training mini-games.
Team Management Mode
- Add a mode where players manage a rugby team, handling everything from player recruitment to tactics and training schedules.
Be a Pro Mode
- A first-person or third-person mode where players control a single player on the field, focusing on positioning, teamwork, and personal performance.
4. Customization Options
- Create-a-Team & Create-a-Player: Allow players to build their dream teams with deep customization, including logos, jerseys, and stadiums.
- Create-a-Play: Introduce a feature where players can design custom plays and set pieces for scrums, lineouts, and kickoffs.
5. Online & Multiplayer
Cross-Platform Play
- Enable cross-play between platforms to build a larger online community.
Online Leagues & Tournaments
- Add online leagues where players can compete with custom or real teams in ranked tournaments.
Co-op Multiplayer
- Allow friends to team up in the same team online, each controlling different players.
6. Fun & Arcade Features
- Arcade Mode: Introduce a fast-paced arcade mode with exaggerated tackles, power-ups, and crazy animations for casual fun.
- Mini-Games: Add fun rugby-themed mini-games like kicking challenges, pass accuracy tests, or tackling drills.
7. Esports & Community Features
- Esports Integration: Build ranked systems with leaderboards and host regular online tournaments.
- Community Creations Hub: Allow players to share custom teams, players, and plays with others via a community hub.

I donât know how to start a new topic, but I saw somewhere that thereâll be 40+ real stadiums in the game
Do we know what they will be? Will the six nations and TRC teams have their home stadiums?
Also as a quins fan, Iâm hoping the stoop makes the cut

Can we have create a league so we can use created clubs in a league and clubs already in the game, Also like to see career mode like in rugby 08 where you got to work your way up the different leagues either with club in game or created club start off low level players.

I will just quickly mention this one.
Hoping to see some different serious injury animations when players have to be replaced straight away and we see animations of the player with the injury hurt and down on the ground or hurt walking to the sideline. An animation of new player coming into the field too if possible.
Also would be great to have âSlidersâ for injuries so it could be adjusted for a competition mode.
I just been reading up on rugby news and a lot of injuries at the moment to some teams / players in the URC and being ruled out for 6 Nations.
