My opinion

[Arno93]

Negative point:
- A total absence of any notion of overnumbering (impossible to play a 2v1, set ....).
- An absence of fouls (offside, fouls in the ruck...)
- Rucks are just a bunch of players with no objective (a poor animation when you try to contest a ruck that's repeated at every ruck).
- Defensive strategy: run at the ball carrier and tackle him.
- Offensive strategy: run with the ball into a space and hope you're right on the edge of the possible tackle zone.
- The running of the players is totally laughable (no explosiveness, they've all got the cart).
- I haven't played any touchline or scrum, so I have no idea what the gameplay is like.
- Passing is horrible (slow, very random), not to mention the impossibility of playing in contact, or even of making cuts or any other possible variety.

On the plus side
- The menu, which is symbiotic and sober in comparison with Rugby22.
- The replay and highlight system
- Model Stade de France
- The possibility of playing with small nations such as Hong Kong, Brazil, Uganda...
- A kicking system that doesn't seem to play a role (but never used, since if you lose the ball, you're left with 10 minutes of defense, praying that the opposing team will kick the ball back to you).

i would add two good points:
- the scrum look really interresting (but without tuto it's hard to understand how to pay)
- the animation when you tackle a player juste before he scored and he lost the control of the ball with var called

When i played with small team (as uruguay, ouganda) the game crashed every time.

The tournament always used the league mode

in start kicking, need to up the speed of players, they could contest ball before the line of 22m

[Arno93]

fix two other bugs:
- when you missed a tackle close to the opponent, he stops to run and any action could be do
- when you tap to quicly on a touch during a ruck, you can't do anything after and you so lose the ball for lost time

[Arno93]

about the ruck, maybe add more possibility to contest a ruck but also keep the hardest of the thing, because in any rugby game, you can build your attack during 10-15 phases and have a complexe strategy, that could be a great achieve if your game do that

[Arno93]

add attack strategy as rugby 22 and also add the kick to a wing as rugby challenge 4 had

[Arno93]

the skills should speed up the player because when you do a step irl, you desorganize defence and take a real advantage. Currently in the game, the skills, steps are too slow

[Arno93]

add the possibility to manage our team during a game and also add the option in game to do quick change (as fifa), i don't think that takes a lot of work and you could be the first rugby galme to implement a real system of manage team during match

[Arno93]

as i play to the game, i try to remember each positive thing of old game:
- that sould be really nice if we can manage the sytrategy of eache team (percentage of kick used, played more with forward or backward) -> rugby challenge did that great

[Arno93]

i remembered you talk about implement 7, rugby challenge was a very great game for this mode

[Arno93]

when you kick the ball, maybe add a slow motion to adjust our kicking, because currently, that's impossible to use correctly this part of gameplay (as rugby challenge 4 did)
