Bears, I agree with you 100% with all the improvements you have suggested and have spotted. Lets be positive and help Big Ants improve on the game, step by step. Patch by patch. Patience and kindness are always the best ways to overcome any obstacles we encounter in our life. So lets follow the same path with this game and build together the best rugby game ever ! Cheers to all rugby fans !
Windhoek is the stadion of Namibia. I have had the pleasure of playing a couple of matches there many moons ago. I saw Cricket 22 on special and bought it. It is an absolute amazing game and that does give me some hope for the future. On the ruck, I have worked a bit out. When the players are tacked and they have not bound yet, press "Y" and your one player will go down and then one of your opponents players will go down against you. He will then basically push you off the ball. Now you press "x" and on of two things will happen: either you will step over with another player and pick up the ball; or he will play the ball. I have won quite a bit of ball that way. I have given this a go, but find it frustrating and will probably not touch it again. Just too may bugs. I find the game crashes quite often or actually just closes down. I have a tournament set up with eight of the real minnows to test the gameplay, and it really just crashes too many times. One game in particular was Sweden vs Zimbabwe. It crashed during the second half 7 times before I could get it done. I have clocked about 7 hours playtime, but is done for now.
Agree with absolutely everything you've said. I am very confident this will turn out to be a very good game. Plenty to fix and improve upon (especially rucks, tackling and offloading)... but I am pleased with what this could be.
Good video! One thing I’d say is I would love to see them add a bit of presentation to make it a more immersive experience. Can’t wait for the create a team and player to be added
I reckon Wales and Georgia will come with the next updates because both national teams are coming down under to play Australia in July. Big Ant did the same thing with the Pakistan cricket team in Cricket 22 where they scanned their team for the player faces while they were in Australia.
Starting tomorrow! Let's be negative and critical once the full game is released and they have finished all the updates. Hopefully by then the game will be in a good way, if not then we shall say so.
When do you expect the full release of this @Bears 😀, do you expect about 6-7 months of early access meaning about December time for the full release 👍?
i Come from every Rugby league game and pretty much every rugby game made (god i sound old) But i think Rugger wise Rugby Challange is a very very pretty game and still hold's up and that's 2011 if they capture the essence of that game and many other's they have released ( my thought's) which they are very very on the right path....Now not sure if you have played RRL4 etc but we need some wet weather, Mud you name it wind etc....I'm very postive this going to be great as i'm a Kiwi that played rugger for years and year's until my knee's couldnt go any longer
i just hope they listen to their fan base with making the right gameplay improvements. i also hope its not like rugby League and rugby Challenge. rugby 08 had the best gameplay it just needs the little tweaks and ad ons here and there to make it perfect. all that said i cant wait for the improvements, they can do something special here but that depends on them and the direction they take it. make the fan base happy and your pockets will be happy lol....... Keep the great content up bro
I'm all for building a good rugby game community, which I think is great. We all want a good rugby game. But paying full price for this Early Access game is a bit much. Release Early Access at a cheaper price, fix the game, then charge full price for a full-release version.
Roadmap looks promising if they can deliver. Haven’t heard much said about offloads yet…? Absolutely crucial this is added. Need to be risk/reward as well with interceptions etc if silly offloads made.
You see how easy it is to run through gaps. Rugby challenge had same issue. If you run sideways before running into gaps, AI just tracks you but doesn’t tackle. You can see this bring a well trodden spam cheat
I hope we will be able to create our own formation as in a 1,3,3,1 or a 2,2,2,2 or that heavy 4,4. The rotating 9 and 10 for a speedy game. Assigning roles essentially.
thtts the problem at ths stage it doesnt evn look like pod structure is in the game at all, i gt the feeling tht gamers didnt like the stratergy of rgby 22 and jst wanted a dumd down version of rgby
The gameplay is so far removed what rugby unions looks like, I cannot see this game actually improving. I'm sorry but I am 35 years old. I was 17 the last time a good rugby game came out. I've had 18 years of absolute gross and the same shit being said by developers.
Don’t think it will happen but a great small thing would be having a slow mo and camera zooming in on the 9 when doing a box kick from the back of a Maul or a Ruck, same on a drop goal also adding a countdown clock for penalties and conversions
Pls tell me that the names/ databases are real and not generic won’t be worth buying if the names aren’t real etc how can you say they are licensed without real players. Praying it’s changed
It’s just god awful… rugby is such a complex game you’d need a massive team to create a realistic representation, but no one wants to touch it because it won’t make the dollar like FIFA. The players just standing around the ruck not doing anything just annoys me I know it’s early access release but I can’t imagine much will change.
Other than the gameplay, one of the biggest things that makes the game bad is the player movements and animations. Box kicking setup/animation is horrible. Scrum half throwing the ball from the ruck looks bad and he doesnt leave the ball at his feet before deciding who to throw too. Player running and passing, ruck animations. Tackle animations. Players look too floaty and have no weight to them. Pace of play is too fast. If all this was fixed, the game would be a lot better. They just dont look like real people moving.
We have our first patch tomorrow so hoping for some improvements. I don't expect it to completely fix the game but could be the start of making it better.
@@FootballWomanager I agree. I think gameplay patches is most important. After that, player movements and animations is the next thing to implement to make the game feel and look like rugby.
I bought the game and promptly refunded it. The game will not get better. The engine cannot produce an authentic simulation of rugby union. No number of updates can fix this game.
on dirait un moteur graphique des années 80... très très moche. Ce jeu ne devrait même pas être payant tellement le travail est amateur... Il serait temps que de vrais studio s'emparent de ce sport. 2K, EA, Konami, what are you waiting for?
I had high hopes because I loved 22. Is this really that nig of a step backwards? How could that happen? They had such a good base. Im holding out hope it will get better with updates. I'll buy the full release anyway just to support rugby video games.
yup everyone was so hyped that big ant were making a rugby game and i was so confused like what game have big ant ever done thats been good lol i knew this game would be rubbish🤣 until EA or 2k get on the job we will never get anything good

HERE HERE! Well said buddy. I couldn't agree more 👍
problem is ther strting with the rll engine shuld have stuck with the rgby 22 engine ....seems like thrs 2 much 2 fix
Windhoek is the stadion of Namibia. I have had the pleasure of playing a couple of matches there many moons ago. I saw Cricket 22 on special and bought it. It is an absolute amazing game and that does give me some hope for the future.

Thanks for the tips. We have our first update tomorrow so I'm looking forward to seeing some changes
I figured it out. They took Rugby league live 4, changed a few graphics, added a few people at the snap to call it a ruck and presto! Rugby 25.
Agree with absolutely everything you've said. I am very confident this will turn out to be a very good game. Plenty to fix and improve upon (especially rucks, tackling and offloading)... but I am pleased with what this could be.
First update tomorrow 👍
i wuldnt hold yor breath this is the template
Good video! One thing I’d say is I would love to see them add a bit of presentation to make it a more immersive experience. Can’t wait for the create a team and player to be added
I think that will come once we get some official tournaments and things. Thanks for watching 👍
Great video mate! Lots to see over the next few months!
Actually looks really promising. I dont like how slow the rucks are but it can be worked on. Is there a rough release date for console yet?
Nothing for console yet unfortunately. I imagine it will be towards the end of the year
I reckon Wales and Georgia will come with the next updates because both national teams are coming down under to play Australia in July. Big Ant did the same thing with the Pakistan cricket team in Cricket 22 where they scanned their team for the player faces while they were in Australia.
You could be right mate
Would say you are right we should not be to negative about the game at this point.... Still huge improvements to come!!!!
Starting tomorrow! Let's be negative and critical once the full game is released and they have finished all the updates. Hopefully by then the game will be in a good way, if not then we shall say so.
When do you expect the full release of this @Bears 😀, do you expect about 6-7 months of early access meaning about December time for the full release 👍?
Yep. At least 6 months of EA I think
Good video, any idea if they're going to have 'Academy" like the Cricket games?
I think that 100% happens at some point. Thanks for watching 👍
i Come from every Rugby league game and pretty much every rugby game made (god i sound old) But i think Rugger wise Rugby Challange is a very very pretty game and still hold's up and that's 2011 if they capture the essence of that game and many other's they have released ( my thought's) which they are very very on the right path....Now not sure if you have played RRL4 etc but we need some wet weather, Mud you name it wind etc....I'm very postive this going to be great as i'm a Kiwi that played rugger for years and year's until my knee's couldnt go any longer
I hope they can turn it around as well. I'm looking forward to seeing how the game looks when the add wind and rain etc
They should ask HB studios for some insight into making rugby games. HB produced a few good titles including rugby 08
So with rugby 2008 does it have the option to make a high tackle, fend, bump off players?
I haven't seen a high tackle yet. They have fend off and some other skill moves
i just hope they listen to their fan base with making the right gameplay improvements. i also hope its not like rugby League and rugby Challenge. rugby 08 had the best gameplay it just needs the little tweaks and ad ons here and there to make it perfect. all that said i cant wait for the improvements, they can do something special here but that depends on them and the direction they take it. make the fan base happy and your pockets will be happy lol....... Keep the great content up bro
Thanks for watching mate. Yeah I agree and I think they will be listening.
I'm all for building a good rugby game community, which I think is great. We all want a good rugby game. But paying full price for this Early Access game is a bit much. Release Early Access at a cheaper price, fix the game, then charge full price for a full-release version.
I believe the current price is probably cheaper than the full release. The full release would surely be £50/60 and it's currently £25/30.
They need a stand alone grip sock manager.
Like career mode but from the grip sock developer perspective
🤣
Roadmap looks promising if they can deliver. Haven’t heard much said about offloads yet…? Absolutely crucial this is added. Need to be risk/reward as well with interceptions etc if silly offloads made.
No I haven't seen any yet either
You see how easy it is to run through gaps. Rugby challenge had same issue. If you run sideways before running into gaps, AI just tracks you but doesn’t tackle. You can see this bring a well trodden spam cheat
New update tomorrow so hopefully some fixes. I guess we will wait and see.
Do you know if the game will introduce this seasons new kits and if they will update the squads ?
I don't know for sure but I would expect them to. The squads will be able to be updated via the community hub.
I hope we will be able to create our own formation as in a 1,3,3,1 or a 2,2,2,2 or that heavy 4,4. The rotating 9 and 10 for a speedy game. Assigning roles essentially.
thtts the problem at ths stage it doesnt evn look like pod structure is in the game at all, i gt the feeling tht gamers didnt like the stratergy of rgby 22 and jst wanted a dumd down version of rgby
@@1112-g1xI see what you are saying. But if for FIFA games and fans it can work and apply it should be a copy and paste. Only time will tell, yea?
5:09 Hey man, do you think there will only be a “manager career” or will “Be a Pro” be added? Whats your thoughts?
Manager career is a definite, not sure about pro player but I hope so.
Do u know if the aviva stadium will be in the game
I don't know for sure but I'd like to think there would be at least one stadium for each country
The gameplay is so far removed what rugby unions looks like, I cannot see this game actually improving. I'm sorry but I am 35 years old. I was 17 the last time a good rugby game came out. I've had 18 years of absolute gross and the same shit being said by developers.
I'm also the same age. I understand your struggles my friend 😅
Mate, can you ask Ross when we can expect console release?
It says they hope to release it by the end of the year.
Don’t think it will happen but a great small thing would be having a slow mo and camera zooming in on the 9 when doing a box kick from the back of a Maul or a Ruck, same on a drop goal also adding a countdown clock for penalties and conversions
I like that idea
Where did you see that there was an update coming?
Big ant studios forum
Great vid bear, agree with you about the game
Hopefully they fix the overalls of the teams because I know South Africa is the best in the world
The Samoa players don't even look Samoan - that's crazy hahaha
I'm sure it will look better once they get the photogrammetry in
Any information about console
Nothing yet
Pls tell me that the names/ databases are real and not generic won’t be worth buying if the names aren’t real etc how can you say they are licensed without real players. Praying it’s changed
It will all be updated. It's just placeholder at the moment
@@FootballWomanager oh I’m glad
Will Ireland be in the game
Yes at some point
yeah. it’s an official product of the rwc so everyone in rwc is licensed in it
It’s just god awful… rugby is such a complex game you’d need a massive team to create a realistic representation, but no one wants to touch it because it won’t make the dollar like FIFA. The players just standing around the ruck not doing anything just annoys me I know it’s early access release but I can’t imagine much will change.
Will rugby 25 be cross platform
I believe so
Just wondring i love rugby and the games but will the gameplay stay like this
No it will be updated over the coming months
Other than the gameplay, one of the biggest things that makes the game bad is the player movements and animations.

So basically we're still just asking for a good rugby game
yup
everyone was so hyped that big ant were making a rugby game and i was so confused like what game have big ant ever done thats been good lol i knew this game would be rubbish🤣
until EA or 2k get on the job we will never get anything good
First update goes live tomorrow, let's hope for some improvements
Yeah this will be a great test to see how they adapt to feedback! @@FootballWomanager
@@liamray15They made Rugby League Live 4 which was good, that was 7 years ago though 😂
Do u know if the aviva stadium will be in the game
