This game looks to be 10 years behind FIFA. The next iterations have so much worl to do! All the players play the same (it looks like as I've not played it yet). I know it's super hard and arduous to have players literally play like they do in real life and that's maybe 5 years away in these games but jeez at least they're making adjustments prior to the proper release.
Yeah, I was really hoping before early access launched, that this would be the game where teams would attempt to play more like their real life counter parts. And it would make the game feel more realistic. At the moment aside from France and Australia all the other teams are basically just copied and pasted players from one team to another, so theres still a chance that will change in the larger updates. But im with you, I would like to see a lot more varience in the style the teams play.
Does it not bother anyone else that the tackle animations are rugby league animations??? It just feels completely wrong. The collision situations in union vs league are completely different.
Its a hot topic on the FAQ boards, theyve said they reused assests from the League game, and thier team is more based in rugby legaue than union so they are trying to transition. Animations definitly need a lot of reworking before full release to make it feel like union.
It's a fucking embarrassment of a game; a complete shambles. Ironically a lesson in marketing when their marketing was so poor. They made the right noises when they made their infrequent noises. If the final product resembles this, it's a fucking joke.
@maddragonrugby the button ‘x’ is for jackalling but it is a bit bugged meaning that u can use it whenever, ‘y’ is used for trying to attack the breakdown like clearing it so someone can jackal the ball
I genuinely don't get why they didn't copy the rugby 22 passing mechanique. It makes passing a bit tricky but also rewarding, it's not just about choosing the right option.
Do we know if there are plans to sort out the player dimensions? seems like everyone is the same size in both weight and height at the moment. Doesn’t really put across the realistic mismatches that happen on a rugby pitch
Need to add audio of crowd singing. Scotland Wales England Ireland plus other big country belt out a song at games. Need to put this in. Also its to prestine looking fields look to green. Need to get it up to standards of EA Sports game play from 2008 no reason with all technology it should be struggling.
Good video ! Spectators still have sunglasses, still a lot of work but looks like they are on the right path! Hope the big update will provide a good base!
Yeah I imagine th eaudience will be one of th elast things they touch, all have sunglasses, about 90% have a baseball cap, and there is about 4 different t-shirt styles. Im not sure why they dont have th ecrowd wearing team jerseys of the teams playing in the game. Would instantly make it feel more real.
@@MaDDragonRugby RLL4 was such a good game of rugby (open play ) developed by BA ,if they could just find the way to do the transition right in terms of rules ,animations,gameplay and features of that game (stadium creator,good graphics plus a lot of cool stuff,2017 and people still making content today,most likely best sports game of that year for me) i think they will do a good job!
Not sure if its already in the game or possible but one thing i would like to see added is player traits. For example at 12 you can have a hard running centre or more of a ball playing player. Be nice to have traits to make players feel a bit different.
Nice vids mate, thanks lot for ur rex. Still i don't understand why they did not improve rugby22 basics, like change carrer mode, remove cards features for a real mercato, bring more licensed teams...cause this one by far better than what we see here
Theres currently only 2 set cameras on the side and end-to-end. Im not sure if they plan to maybe add sliders to the game to change the hieght of the camera or what have you. From reading the patch notes, not a lot of focus has been put on updating cameras yet, so might come later.
Yep good call bud. Would be great if they added sliders to gameplay cameras so we can implement how we'd like to see the game played. They're gettin there slowly but definitely interested in ur coverage on next week's major patch.👍
I'm hoping the turnovers get sorted by the time of full release because I'm not keen on playing easiest level as that means better scores and hammerings for the AI 🤷. Plus the RB/LB instead of Y for selecting full back but other than that, everything seems on the right track 👍.
Yeah I really dislike that basically every video on youtube seems to be everyone playing on easy. I have won games on the hardest difficulty, but the game just just both teams stuck on the half way line doing endless rucks for 99% ofthe game, the AI never kicks posession away, and you cant win a turnover so nothing happens.. It does feel like easy difficulties are the only way to open a match up and feel enjoyable to play. Hopefully they find some nice adjustments in the difficulty, to make it more enjoyable to play stronger opponents.
@@MaDDragonRugby How many minor and major patches will there before the actual release would you predict? I would presume more than 6 major ones if it's one per month?
Can you set defensive lines and attacking lines while playing ( deeper, wider, narrower, rush up etc) I hope they can soon make the ball always visible when kicking in the air, similar to FIFA. It makes a very cool visual advancement and adds to the scope of the game. But it's definitely improving
Also goal kicking camera angles and the difficulty needs to be improved. Kicking for goal should be super interesting ( like a direct free kick in FIFA)
The game start to be better slowly. I think it could be the best rugby vidéo game never released. After this 3rd update. The passing and kicking are really better. Now play with kicking is fun and more realistic. There is again a lot of works but i think, in 2 or 3 month, this game will be very good.
With this patch, my game does not crash anymore. That scrumhalf running into the pack is still there. Gameplay still cr@p, but a lot better. How do you feel about the player names not being with the character. I find it difficult to see my player and the name at the bottom to understand who is actually running/tacking etc I ma too stu[pid for the scrum. Every time I hook the ball, the scrum collapses and I get a penalty against me 😆
Not gonna lie from what I’ve seen in your videos rugby 22 graphics and feel of play seem a lot better surprisingly Also there is no way you can miss a conversion/penalty and like you said no wind
Is there player ratings/rankinings so you can see their skills and power bars to see what they're good at and if they have it does it translate to games?
I dont believe so at the minute, there must be some sort of stats in the background because speed and ability to kick definitly seem to change from player to player, but with no team management theres no way for us to see the stat breakdown yet.
At the minute there just isnt a lot of ways to give away penalties in the gsame full stop, I think the only way is to collapse the scrum. Theres no offside rule, illegal tackle rule, or illegal action at the ruck that I have seen. So penalties are very few and far between.
I enjoyed my time with Rugby 20, I just wish it had some higher difficulties, eventually I was winning too often, with Rugby 25 coming out, you might be able to pick up Rugby 22 pretty cheap to have the upgrade.
Man I hope a decent studio makes a rugby game this studio looks mediocre at best, field looks like it’s painted on a flat surface, movements seem very robotic so much about it seems very unnatural.
Anyone find it unacceptable that they are reusing animations from the rugby league games, they shouldn’t be using them at all it’s a whole different code no matter what reason. Just straight laziness from the devs
The analog stick is coming in to its own more with each update, but until we get set plays there isnt alot to catch you out on defence, as you say just swp to a play and press tackle. Hoping they can improve the AI tactics to try and work around your defence rather than head straight for it.
Still looks sterile. I’m sure everything will be sorted before release. We desperately need a good rugby game. Going back to play lomu is starting to take a toll 😂😂
Rugby Union doesn't all have players of the same size and speed like League. This needs fixing. The floating passing which kills momentum needs scraping also. Rugby nations on the iphone is currently more enjoyable and better than this. Plus why doesn't the commentator state the players name? Whats the point of travelling the world scanning faces if the names are not mentioned in game.
These rugby games are just looking worser and worser come on ea sports bring back the rugby games the only rugby game worth playing was made in 2011 and that is the all black challenge
I havnt seen many people mention the grass colour actuallu, it is pretty green, drop your thoughts on the FAQ page, I also think it would be fun if the grass got chruned up a bit in different weather and from where scrums take place.
Seems like we're all going to die before seeing a proper rugby game 😢

After all these years, rugby 08 is still the best rugby game money can buy

Is the gameplay camera customisable or is there only sideline and end to end? Thanx

Not gonna lie from what I’ve seen in your videos rugby 22 graphics and feel of play seem a lot better surprisingly
Also there is no way you can miss a conversion/penalty and like you said no wind
Copy and paste Rugby 07 and Rugby World Cup 2011, update graphics and teams and you got yourself a game
Glad you could play some games! Mine kept bugging out for some reason lol
Is there player ratings/rankinings so you can see their skills and power bars to see what they're good at and if they have it does it translate to games?
I dont believe so at the minute, there must be some sort of stats in the background because speed and ability to kick definitly seem to change from player to player, but with no team management theres no way for us to see the stat breakdown yet.
Would be nice for a rugby game to come out with all The licences kits
PS. It was your line out because you did a 50-22 kick
I'm still really optimistic for this game to be great, but it seems they have a long way to go. The way players enter the ruck looks so uncanny.
At 9:52 you got a 50-22
Knowing the rules helps a lot!!!
Was about to post this haha I'm so glad that rule is implemented
Yeha I realised when I was editting, when playing live I thought i was in their half and the game just awarded the linout wrong. 😂
@MaDDragonRugby we noticed since you mentioned a 50-22 later on 🤣
The touchy has his arm and flag the other way when you got your 50/22 lol 10:12
When are they gonna release the full game😑💯
They have said the roadmap
December apparently
The flight of the ball when passing looks unrealistic.
Controversial opinion but I think it's improved a lot since the original release. I'll definitely be buying the game
I don't care about anything just please make the pitch quality better
Love the vidos
Thanks mate, glad you enjoy!
Does opposition ever give away pens? R20/22 they never seemed to. All scores would be 21-7 etc. never pens
At the minute there just isnt a lot of ways to give away penalties in the gsame full stop, I think the only way is to collapse the scrum. Theres no offside rule, illegal tackle rule, or illegal action at the ruck that I have seen. So penalties are very few and far between.
Also I have rugby 20

Man I hope a decent studio makes a rugby game this studio looks mediocre at best, field looks like it’s painted on a flat surface, movements seem very robotic so much about it seems very unnatural.
A passion project by the developers, but the laws of rugby union aren't fully coded into the game. Disaster.
Anyone find it unacceptable that they are reusing animations from the rugby league games, they shouldn’t be using them at all it’s a whole different code no matter what reason. Just straight laziness from the devs
this game was rushed it has so much potential to be the best rugby game ever made
Defence is pretty much press A tap B and repeat. Gameplay is so unsatisfactory and boring
The analog stick is coming in to its own more with each update, but until we get set plays there isnt alot to catch you out on defence, as you say just swp to a play and press tackle. Hoping they can improve the AI tactics to try and work around your defence rather than head straight for it.
Still looks sterile. I’m sure everything will be sorted before release. We desperately need a good rugby game. Going back to play lomu is starting to take a toll 😂😂
You realise tackle is B right?
Yep

The floating passing which kills momentum needs scraping also. Rugby nations on the iphone is currently more enjoyable and better than this.
Plus why doesn't the commentator state the players name? Whats the point of travelling the world scanning faces if the names are not mentioned in game.
The breakdowns look so bad - Like horrendously bad - Shouldn’t have been released bad. Doesn’t resemble Rugby union at all
Passing. Update number 3. Two years into development. Absolute shambles.
Its clearly a rugby league game. Embarassing.
These rugby games are just looking worser and worser come on ea sports bring back the rugby games the only rugby game worth playing was made in 2011 and that is the all black challenge
Its still far from good enough. Tackling looks bad. Scoring tries looks bad.
Looks average AF
looks awful again, probably never going to see a decent rugby game
🗑
CHANGE THE GRASS COLOR ITS BADDDDD VERY BADDD MAKE IT DARKER
I havnt seen many people mention the grass colour actuallu, it is pretty green, drop your thoughts on the FAQ page, I also think it would be fun if the grass got chruned up a bit in different weather and from where scrums take place.
@@MaDDragonRugby even just change the hue of green for the grass it looks fake atm like a mobile game
More forward oriented plays !!!
