Rugby Nations 19 for Negative User Reviews
✓ Knock onsAll of the time their are no knocks ons but at fulltime and halftime there are which quite annoying and every time I go to score and nobody’s on the try line my player automatically runs towards the posts I will do it if I want. Other than that it’s a great game :).Version: 1.3.2
✓ EhThere’s plenty of bugs this game has. One most notable is the wind direction that comes out of nowhere. One second the wind is at 2 and then all of a sudden as soon as you kick for goal the wind picks up 13mph out of nowhere. Secondly the penalties conceived stat needs to be fixed. When the opposing team gets a penalty (forward pass or dangerous tackle) it’ll deduct from my winnings when my penalty sheet is clean. Finally I’m not sure if it’s just the way the games programmed but sometimes I’ll be in the ruck 2m from the try line and I’ll randomly knock on at the end of the game, or the opposition will turn the ball over when I have 3 men in the ruck compared to their 2..Version: 1.2.4
✓ Micro transactions!As always the Rugby Nation series out-does itself again! Great graphics and game mechanics. Game developers unfortunately added a 3 game limit to play without waiting over 2 hours to continue playing. It is like the game wants you to stop playing it or purchase a $5 ‘refill’. In my opinion this completely ruins the game. The pack wait time is ok but 3+ hours!? It really should be 30mins-3 hours. This game would get five stars but it seems like the Rugby Nation developers seem to care more on micro transactions and in-app purchases..Version: 1.2.1
✓ Please add more game modes.Although this game has improved greatly for the previous installment, it now lacks many fun and great game modes such as six nations, rugby championship, heineken champions cup, aviva premiership, pro 14, top 14, and super rugby. Please add these game modes and the game will be much better. Another thing thing that would improve the game would be giving us the option to set up running patterns, set moves, clearing kicks, and drop goals off of rucks and set pieces (scrums, lineouts, rucks). To do this however backs must stop joining the ruck so often. Another thing that i would like to see in the game is the removal of energy and The option to set game difficulty and time. Also the lack of penalties in a game is unrealistic, please randomly make opposition players offside and please make breakdown penalties more common. It would also improve the game if you would allow us to select the goal kicker. Overall this game is fun but the lack of game play options and moves in the game make it less enjoyable than it could be..Version: 1.2.1
✓ Not fair against good teamsWhen you face a good team in World Cup, or any other league it’s so hard that there’s random turnovers, and when you have to try and stop the other team from scoring, when they are near the try line, they automatically get a try because your players just stand there or run around their opposite team, because when you are near the try line your team will score automatically as well because the play runs itself to the try, should be a career mode as well.Version: 1.3.1
✓ If this is carried out the game could be world-classThis is a great action-packed game, it’s exiting and modern with great graphics. A big problem is that energy runs out quickly and it takes a while to load, I think the game should have a training mode to practise cool techniques and to pass the time whilst energy is loading. And the pack are so expensive and it’s really hard to get good players in the league and in the international competitions. I think the game would be good with a English league or French league etc mode..Version: 1.3.2
✓ Ho humThe game play makes sense for overall game but lacks actual controls in some parts to make it more user friendly. E.g. kicking and line outs are not well devised. The World Cup stuff has bugs as the All Blacks show up as Fijian players for team roster and then the same on the field. A few tweaks and quality checks and it could come right to be a hit more gameable.Version: 1.2.1
✓ It’s so hardYou have to buy it for a 100$ to play.Version: 1.3.6
✓ EnergyThe whole energy thing is just a cunty thing to do tbh.Version: 1.3.2
✓ Potential to be a class gameI like the game but there’s sooooo many glitches and inconsistencies. Glitches include: the hooker not throwing the ball in at the line out. The scrum half not being in position at the scrum so you push the opposition back and nothing happens. Not even a penalty as is usually the case. I managed to push the opposition past their own try line! In these cases your only option is to quit the app, losing you energy and making you wait for it to refill. Inconsistencies include the line out throw in on your own throw in. I’ve tried varying degrees of power and it always seems to do the opposite. If I go for a short line out it almost always goes full power even if I’ve done a short slow swipe on the screen. I find the same vice versa. Another frustrating thing is, I can be playing away against an opposition whose about the same rating as my team. In their own half I’ll turn the ball over after about 6/7 tackles. But you can guarantee if they are within 20-30m of my try line, I can put in tackle after tackle and no turnover even if I have 3-4 players in the breakdown to the oppositions one. It’s got potential to be a cracking game but definitely more ironing out of glitches and is needed..Version: 1.2.3
✓ Good game some glitchesOverall a very good game. I enjoy playing the matches and building the team however for me when ever I gain a pack from the matches I wait the 8 or so hours and then the pack doesn’t open. So it difficult to progress your team further. For your club at least for me I have no indication of the money, coins training or health so I don’t know what I need to can afford. Also the international players have odd ratings not what you would expect and line outs bug out and you can’t get the correct distance you wanted. However I do really enjoy this game it has good potential to become a very good rugby game..Version: 1.2.3
✓ So badThis game is unbelievably trash at times, but what I want to really focus on is the annoying OVR number system. In the World Cup, each team has an overall rating from one to one hundred, which seems good at first…until the teams that you really want to play get thrashed by New Zealand, England and the like. This might be just me, but if I was a Cook Island Maori, then I would want to play as a Kuki Airani - but wait they have a low ovr which makes them unplayable..Version: 1.3.6
✓ LThe game is great the one major problem is when the player makes a break and ur defending the fullback doesn’t takel that’s why I took 2 stars off..Version: 1.3.5
✓ BogusThe bogus thing about this game is as you are closing in on scoring your team turns it over! The only way to get players is if you buy the packs for cash. Why not offer packs with the money you win in the game. Dont waste your time and money.Version: 1.3.0
✓ Enjoyable but buggyI am enjoying this game but there’s too many bugs. The amount of times opposition AI controlled players have run past as my players run the opposite direction or stand still is frustrating. This is while pressing the chase buttons too. Also the wind is unrealistic. It can rapidly go from 0mph to 17mph in under two seconds! So when you account for the wind and take your kick, it then suddenly drops half way through defeating the whole point of accounting for the wind in the first place. The skill of it is removed and it just becomes about luck. Also, it’s annoying how phases of play work. I can be playing at home, against a team that is below my OVR and I get three or four phases of play while the AI controlled opposition can get up to 15! It applies playing away too. They get 15 or so and I get three or four. There needs to be more balance between home and away advantage or else it’s just wasteful. Just little bugs like this can remove the enjoyment a bit so if they fixed them it would rate as a top rated end game for me..Version: 1.3.1
✓ BadIt has deleted my accounts about five times plz help get the creators to give my account back.Version: 1.3.5
✓ Improvements to considerI am currently playing with a 96 rated team. The AI of the opposition rarely scores more than 7 points against me and could do with improving the attacking and defensive tactics e.g. box kicking and using deeper lines. The AI of the players team needs improvement as well they constantly block the ball carrier when the ball is kicked deep off kick off and often don’t get deep enough to pass the ball out of congested areas. Could we have an inclusion from the rest of the world and not just six nations teams in the club league games. Would like to play New Zealand and RSA.Version: 1.3.2
✓ ApaulingThey are always off side when i pass the ball they pass the ball all the way behind like what kind of dum idiot would do that 🤦🏽♂️.Version: 1.2.1
✓ Absolute garbageTrash. Pay to win, ridiculously expensive too. Especially for such an imbalanced game with so many bugs (mauls go to dead-ball, box kicks and drop-goals not working...).Version: 1.3.2
✓ The problemsThey are a lot of problems in this game that needs to be fixed. The defensive line is always shattered. They have the full back make most of the tackles. It doesn’t always award the scrum when a forward pass is thrown. On the attack random balls thrown, it makes u take drop goals and the wind is never consistent..Version: 1.3.0
✓ Great gameplay, disappointing featuresThe gameplay is a great improvement on other games due to the far smoother handling and far easier and more controlled running but the game itself is hugely let down by the lack of options and the fact that you cant change the difficulty from way too easy, this means you have no challenge and have no modes other than a world cup with a bunch of random teams and a low quality team builder. Overall i feel this game could be great with more gamemodes starting with quick match and an option to choose out of about 5 difficulties higher than the current one.Version: 1.2.0
✓ DijionNeed a refund.Version: 1.3.3
✓ FIX THISThis game fun but the sometimes in the line outs the player(hooker) just freezes and then the game won’t continue.Version: 1.2.3
✓ Not worth your timeThis could be a great game but it isn’t. You can’t control your players when defending. With 4 people at the ruck you rarely get a turnover. AI team will happily run through or around your players as they stand still, even when you’re pressing the tackle button. You can’t realistically get a game score higher than 14-7. The wind is a joke, 0mph straight to 17mph in 3 seconds. When you FINALLY get the ball, the AI teams always turnover the ball when you’re attacking within 3-4 phases and then have it for 15 or more phases. The game could be good but these issues completely turned me away..Version: 1.3.3
✓ The energyI have been a fan of your games and the one thing I don’t like is the energy in your 15 and 16 there’s no energy why in the 19?.Version: 1.2.1
✓ Fun but very buggyI love the game and it’s very fun but it’s full of mistakes and bugs. Half the time you do a line out the hooker just freezes and won’t throw in thus having to restart the game. Then occasionally on scrums the scrum half just runs away and the game freezes. My other issue is that there is no offside penalty and players who are late to getting back can just tackle the ball carrier without any consequence. It was also be nice if you could pause the game then come back to an open match without having to restart..Version: 1.2.3
✓ Passing and teamsI think this game is amazing just please shorten pack waiting times and make it easier to catch passes and take off energy and make matches longer and make real World Cup teams. Th 🤑nks.Version: 1.2.1
✓ Good game but...This is an amazing game although there are some problems. Here are some of them: • When you win the World Cup, you keep getting the same people. I have only beat it 3 times as England and I have got George Ford twice. • Ireland has the highest overall player ratings, although they don’t IRL. • I am not an Ireland supporter, but it makes me quite irritated that Johnny Sexton is black. I’m not attempting to be racist, but imagine how annoying it is to have (if he is your favorite, definitely not mine) your favorite rugby player being the wrong skin color •This annoys me the most, and it is that every time I go out of the app I have to start it again and it is especially annoying when I am in the middle of a match. It has brought this review down by two stars. A real shame. I can’t wait for these to be fixed, as well as countless other bugs. To end on a good note, this game is the best rugby game mobile and has several awesome features..Version: 1.2.4
✓ Wish it made fairer callsComputer never misses kicks and never gets called for offside or forward passes which I’d does quite frequently..Version: 1.3.1
✓ Update nowThis game is fun but super buggy. Such an E E E game.Version: 1.3.0
✓ Let down after Rugby Nations 18Game has brilliant improvements since the last generation however it’s shocking that it has become riddled with ads that are so cancerous. I think everyone would prefer if you could just pay £3/4 for the full game. I do not care about adds promoting gambling websites in any way shape or form. Also one little extra comment. Who at your game developers thought it would be a good idea to only let you play a match if you have energy? Worst decision you lot have ever made. I am considering deleting the app because of this. I had such high hopes after RN18 that you guys would become the ‘mobile FIFA of Rugby’ however I have been quite frankly, let down. Thus is an appalling decision. I will not download RN20 or 21 if these problems are not addressed..Version: 1.3.0
✓ BadI played the game and I enjoyed it but if I did a pass it kept saying forword pass and The bot team if they did a forword the ref won't do anything.Version: 1.3.1
✓ Players get slow when you reach higher levels?It was ok (not much better than any other rugby game over the past 5+ years) but I’ve reached the Major league level with my club and have won each international tournament a few times. Now it seems that the difficulty level has increased by making my players immediately fatigue and almost stop once they have the ball and stay like this for the first half. Sometimes it improves late in the second half. It happens every time now in any league or tournament play. That will end my play of this game..Version: 1.3.2
✓ Too hard to level up playersMake it easier to get money to level up players, and less tokens to develop stadiums, especially when I have all of them..Version: 1.3.3
✓ Bad gameAs soon as you get the ball you get tacklers and the ball get turned over to the other team which is really a pain.Version: 1.3.4
✓ Bug Needs To Be FixedThere is a bug sometimes when scrumming. The ball never gets out of the ruck and the players just keep pushing forward. I have to leave the app and once I get back in, it’s taken one bar of energy which is very disappointing..Version: 1.3.1
✓ Good but occasionally frustratingEnjoy playing this game but some aspects are a tad unrealistic.. like when the game suddenly decides you aren’t going to win a match, not in a month of Sundays! Even against a team 10 or more points below yours, it becomes unplayable. As much as I’m enjoying having Owen Farrell and Rieko Ioane playing for my team full of binmen, plumbers and site labourers, like I said it makes it a little unrealistic having The England captain running rings around Dean from the local chippy (you get these decent players for winning world cups) All that aside I keep playing it and for the most part I’m well into it..Version: 1.2.3
✓ So much needs fixedFirst, The opposition never kicks. Second, opposition kickers never miss conversions. Third, players can’t pick up the ball first time Fourth, you can’t make a tackle on your own 5m line..Version: 1.3.0
✓ Where’s the sprint button???These newer versions have potential, but I need that sprint button, the swipes are awkward..Version: 1.2.1
✓ A great game, but awful layout.As a HUGE fan of rugby games there are so few on the gaming market so its mega tough to really find any enjoyment of any, Rugby Nations a fantastic franchise of games and have always found fun playing hours on end, HOWEVER with this NEW instalment in this franchise I’m very let down. The gameplay itself is fantastic, a massive improvement to its previous titles, but this being said there’s no challenge at all when playing ANY opposition, I myself seem to win every game 20-40 points to NIL which is very frustrating, but i have found this in previous titles too. LASTLY, I feel very disappointed with the fact that you have to rely on “energy” to even play the game ? With no option to even purchase a full Game?! Extremely stupid to ask for real payment just so people can play for 24 hours. I’d rather pay a one off £5/£6 payment as I’m sure MANY others would. For me its 2 stars and thats being generous to the gameplay. I appreciate this is obviously a new game but the even change the layout of “Rugby Nations 18” is a huge back step..Version: 1.2.0
✓ Post this reviewI know you won’t show this review because you only show the positive ones but whatever. This game becomes very unfair when playing against teams with a slightly high rating as you only get about two plays before an unfair turnover or just a random mis pass and the fact when you tackle a player 5 metres from my defending try line they slide all the way to score and the fact that my players just randomly miss tackles I know you won’t do anything about it now but just try to make it enjoyable for the next game you make please.Version: 1.3.5
✓ Get rid of the energyGet rid of the energy please it’s bad. Also can you make the mode where you can play random games. And can you make it so that we can change the game length. Thanks..Version: 1.2.1
✓ AverageHow is this worse than rugby nations 16?? Surely it should be better. Maybe the graphics are better but besides that, for a genuine rugby player/supporter— this is far less fun, realistic, challenging.Version: 1.3.1
✓ Almost perfectThe 3 lifes that this game gives you is a biggest turn off i wish this game didnt have this weird lifes and i would rate in 5*stars but now NO THIS GAME IS NOT GOOD YET..... PROBABLY WILL NEVER BE.Version: 1.2.3
✓ It’s okNot the best but needs work. No pushing in the scums. The players are as fat as anything and they look different but other than that it is not that bad..Version: 1.3.6
✓ Game is good, but...So for an app game, it's fun. Not amazing but it's solid to pass time on. However once you hit a point in the game you are forced to buy their packs and buy gold to get a team anywhere good enough to even have a chance of winning a game. Having to wait to play games is frustrating but not a deal breaker, however not being able to even compete during the games makes the game unplayable. I have no problem with the app selling packs, if people want to pay for a quick way to get a good team that's fine, however making it the only way to proceed makes the game unplayable and I will now be deleting the app. Shame - as I have had a lot of fun on this game, however it's hit a point where it is unplayable..Version: 1.2.3
✓ Fix this now!When ever I try to score a try, my player just randomly turns to the left and runs straight into the defense, and then my try doesn’t count anymore. It’s really annoying so please fix it!.Version: 1.2.4
✓ Cheating gameI’m surprised this has great reviews. Doesn’t matter how many line outs I’ve tried (light swipe, strong swipe) I have never won a line out and it just chooses where it’s going to throw. Any team that is near your rating you know they will turnover the ball and win the game last minute. When running and going to pass to open player it sometimes kicks the ball. This usually happens in important games you need to win.. sidestepping sometimes results in ball being passed, usually into touch causing a penalty and yes again usually in important games you need to win. It really feels like it’s set up for you to lose most the big finals. On the widest view some stadiums have flags which block you from seeing your defending line so they can score without you seeing..Version: 1.3.1
✓ The worst game everI am just watching a ad to get more energy they ad wasn’t playing so I left when I left the ad stared playing and the games are stupid when you get tackled right near the line and get up you score so that’s why you are the worst game ever.Version: 1.3.5
✓ WhyI kicked it all the way down the field in six nations I didn’t get the ball once.Version: 1.3.0
✓ GraphicsNeeds wayyyyyyyyyyyy better graphics.Version: 1.3.2
✓ Good game, but could be much better.Had fun playing this game, but just going to point out the negatives I had with this game. Packs take too long to open when you only get one player and minimal of everything else. If opposition gets a runaway the fullback just back-tracks for 20+ metres before switching to player. If you win the rugby world cup you only win a bronze player. I feel like if you win, you should get a gold. If you come second, a silver and third, bronze. Also positions on the card would be nice so that players perform better at their positions. Good game, but these negatives made me get over it pretty quickly..Version: 1.3.1
✓ IllegalYou have to go back.Version: 1.2.4
✓ Love the gameThe fact that there aren’t any other rugby games that are up to this standard just gets me addicted to this game. The only problem I have with the game is that some of your rating are bit off. I feel like you have overrated most players and underrated quite a few too. The speed and power on some players in the international teams is also off. Overall love the game, keep up the good work! Edit: I have been playing with Fiji recently and I am very surprised that you haven’t made Semmi Radradra, and J.Tuisova highest grade players rather than gold players. You didn’t even add in the beast of a player L.Botia!! He played in the World Cup yet wasn’t included in your World Cup series. Also the gab between a team with a OVR of 83 is huge compared to a team of with a 95 rating, It’s impossible to win against them! Every time the ball goes lose my player is the first one there yet the opposition is likely picking up the ball before me??? My team are always the first people at the rock and yet the chance of me getting the ball is so slim that I might as well let the ai walk straight through my defence.Version: 1.2.3
✓ InfuriatingGood game however, it is infuriating. CP team will have up to 28 phases of play & never miss a kick yet you will get 5 phases max. Your players are forever dropping the ball or not passing when you want them too.... it will take a long time to gain promotion. Your player can be the only one near the ball but will run around in circles until the oppos get there, usually resulting in them getting a try..... When the app decides you are going to lose there is nothing you can do about it, they will win... All said and done it kills a bit of time so it’s ok & it’s the only rugby game out there so you have to make do!!.Version: 1.3.0
✓ Mechanics is hideous and buggedSometimes you press left or right pass and it does the opposite. It plays Ads when I choose not to view it. People are constantly standing in the wrong places.....that’s with the All Blacks team. One star for having real names that’s all you earned..Version: 1.3.2
✓ DisappointedThis games so predictably rigged it’s not worth the download. Don’t waste your time.Version: 1.3.2
✓ Not the bestWhen you get to the World Cup quarter final I couldn’t tackle the opponent at all they ran right throw me and I ran down the whole field and got to the on yard line and they gave the opponent the ball..Version: 1.2.3
✓ Good but...Amazing game really fun but I won the World Cup as Japan and I never got pack then I won as Ivory Coast and got three packs!? Good game infrequent glitches would defentaly recommend. Would like to see players look more like them in real life.Version: 1.2.1
✓ Pathetic!What is wrong with developers? Do you seriously expect us to pay on and on and on to get energy, or players or fitness points or gold ( because you can only buy good things with gold)?? I want to buy a game and play it…………… not have to worry about if I have enough energy to play( have I mentioned you can buy it)? I am so irritated with developers who think they can control where when and how I can play. From the little I saw, it had decent game play, but it’s deleted now. Developers make a game and sell it for whatever the market will bear! Don’t try to nickel and dime us to death, because I for one, am not playing that game!.Version: 1.3.6
✓ BallPlease fix it when you pick up the ball you don’t miss it and the passing is messed up. I pass to my team mate and he doesn’t even run for it or try to catch it..Version: 1.3.0
✓ It’s not workingIt does not even work.Version: 1.2.1
✓ Great idea but frustratingFirst off, it’s great to get a game that involves the rugby union rules. However, it starts of great - you get a walk through of the controls and seem to win comfortably BUT after that initial season you are promoted into the next tier and it seems lose almost every match with the opposition managing to steal the ball at the ruck. Perhaps I’m just not very good but it’s very disheartening and I’ve lost interest really. The biggest draw back is the reward packs - you have to wait hours to open these unless you want to pay real money. The energy restoration is also a long winded process. This game has a god base but I think some tweaks would make it even better..Version: 1.3.5
✓ RegressedRugby Nations has turned into a quick cash grab with tons of micro-transactions. You can play the game for about 15 minutes before your energy bar is gone?? Compared to Rugby Nations 18, you’ve removed about 90% of the playable content. Career mode, Six Nations, Pacific Cup, Four nations and Americas Cup are all gone? I’ve bought every game since Rugby Nations 15 and this is most unplayable of the series. So disappointing. I think majority would rather pay for a FULL game..Version: 1.2.1
✓ Just noExtremely buggy, players get stuck in virtually any position (offsides, stuck to one another a mile away from the ruck, or just running in place in the middle of the pitch), very minimal and low effort gameplay, no way to tell how a turnover could occur especially, you could have 7 guys dedicated to an unprotected ruck or vice versa within milliseconds and you wouldn’t know the outcome. Better off playing the league version to get the useless mechanics out of the way..Version: 1.3.4
✓ Keeps crashingHave been playing this game for ages and despite a few issues it has been very good. Unfortunately it has now started to crash regularly so needs to be hot fixed. Please can you also add an option to dive when you’re near the line as if you are out wide, the player will automatically turn and run towards the posts to score a try. Sometimes this results in you crossing the line but not scoring a try which is ridiculous. My other criticism is the amount of turnover the opposition gets off you is laughable compared to the turnover you can win..Version: 1.2.3
✓ The controls are horribleThe controls are so bad that make the game unplayable. Especially the add player and kick button are the same, which makes me kicking away the ball I worked so hard for from the ruck. And I can’t offload on time even though I swiped as much as I could while the bot team offloads like a champ. The controls unfortunately make this game so frustrating to play..Version: 1.3.5
✓ BADJUST don’t like it.Version: 1.3.5
✓ Everything is ok except...Please, modify the stamina. 3 staminas are the worst that can make game bad. Even we have to watch 9 ads in order to full our stamina but also there are no ads . Funny :D..Version: 1.2.1
✓ Great game, but lots of inaccuraciesHi. I have been playing this game for a couple months, and I think it’s great. However, there are a few annoying things. I don’t like how you have energy, and the time goes way too fast. Also, whenever I play as Ireland in the World Cup, I always get bronze players when I win, and I have never gotten an actual player from them to improve my team. Also, when I kick the ball out at half time it says kicked out on FULL. And when I kick it out normally, it sometimes says kicked out at half-time. Also, I would like it if you tapped the line outs instead of swiped, because there can be a delay with the swipe causing a turnover. Also, the AI is unfair, because they never miss conversions. And also, when the opposing team is defending, when I go into rucks, lots of them are offside and tackle me, but it doesn’t say offside, it just carries on. I love this game, but you need to fix a lot of things..Version: 1.2.3
✓ Glitchy and gets boring quick...mediocreThe idea of a rugby game is awesome but the execution of it on this app is way below 4 or 5 stars. Mediocre and deserves 1-2 stars. It’s glitchy and basic rugby rules seems to be lost in this app. Controls are absolutely rubbish, chip kicks when you press pass, is real laggy and slow. Teams playing roster needs to be updated among a lot of other things in this app but as said idea is good but game play is a shambles which makes the experience dreadful and not worth the download until fixes have been made for an extremely upgraded and updated gaming experience. An option to create your own all star team from all the team rosters, or an option to be able to select eligible players from team rosters to represent selected countries they’re eligible for would be an awesome addition..Version: 1.3.1
✓ Buggy, irritating and just ridiculousAutomatic player changing is terrible even more so when you’re playing a difficult team. Passing is ok but sometimes it’ll just do whatever. Turnovers make no sense, and usually happen near goal line. Save yourself time and frustration and don’t download this game..Version: 1.3.5
✓ Potentially very goodA number if bugs, like the absence of any offside line (which makes it more accurate if you’re a NZ fan I guess). Also, why is the entire SA starting team white except for Snyman, who is white. Kolbe, Dyantyi, Kolisi etc. are all white in this game. Irish fly half, Jonathan Sexton is black though. Very strange..Version: 1.3.1
✓ ImpossibleI have played South Africa about 7 times and every time I can get 21-0 and then their are random turn overs, I tackle the other team 50 times and they still have it and also they have scored so many times like 3 real minutes after the final whistle has gone. It’s so frustrating and I don’t understand why. In ruby league you have to tackle them 5 times but this is impossible to stop them from scoring a try. Just fix this and it’s a great game..Version: 1.3.2
✓ Good game but could be improvedGreat rugby game. Definitely the best union game out there. However there are a few feature that could be added/changed that would improve it. Firstly, in the minor league where you build your own team, this would be better if you could remove the original players from the squad and set the cap of minimum players in a team to 23 instead of keeping those initial players to ensure there is a starting line up. Secondly, it would be good to add the premiership, top 14, pro 14 and super rugby into the mix. I think having this feature would expand the game massively and people may enjoy controlling their own club teams. Lastly, a management style feature could also be fun. Implementing tactics to guide your team could be a cool feature. Aside from the feature the game is good, but bugs need fixing and some rules need changing. E.g. if an attacking team kicks the ball out into the oppositions dead ball zone passes the try area, the play gets brought back to the where the ball was kicked and is the originally defending teams put in at a scrum. I know rugby has been changing rules a lot recently so can be hard to keep updating these/keep track..Version: 1.3.2
✓ Really badThis game has so much potential- great controls and gameplay. Such a shame that a greedy developer created this, stop the timers! I would happily pay $10 for this..Version: 1.2.1
✓ Thanks mateAverage at best, every time i complete a world cup i get some bronze rookie, i am asking for a sevu reece or israel folau. that is all.Version: 1.3.1
✓ Please fix the bugsDo you guys check the reviews? My post about the hint pop up appearing every now and then is still there when i posted about it 3 months ago, someone else also mentioned it. The ads are unbelievable; at the end of a game, there’s an option to either continue or sit through an ad to get double the money, but now even if you press ‘continue’ half the time an unskippable ad pops up. I just had to sit through a 40 second tik tok one. Oh yeah and if you leave and rejoin to manually skip it, you have to restart the game you just played. Nice one. Also, i was playing as Ivory Coast which i guess are meant to be the worst team in the world cup, but are they really so bad that your player literally runs away from the attacker? Come on guys surely this can be fixed; makes it literally impossible to beat the top teams..Version: 1.3.4
✓ Good game minor problemsOverall this is a good game with some frustrating minor in game issues I would think should be easy to fix and would improve the overall rating. Firstly, it’s annoying when you are just about to score but your player turns sharply to run towards the post just before the line and you to end up being tackled. Could the developers not either include a ‘dive/score try’ button or at least make sure the players don’t turn before the actual line. This is highly annoying. The second thing is the random hint/instructions on how to dodge that pop up a few time a game, these really kill momentum when you’ve just broken the line and it would be much better if these were removed. The only other thing is the pay system / limits on game time - personally I would much prefer is you just had to pay £5-£10 for the game and that’s it (as was the case with previous versions) but I guess that’s just the way it is. Surely there can’t be many people paying the absurd amounts for energy and extra cash..?!?! I would think it better to release a free trial version to entice people in then charge a one off fee for the game, which overall is of a good standard..Version: 1.3.4
✓ This game is very glitchedI am trying to play the World Cup and I chose New Zealand and I am getting the Tongan team and before, I was playing a game and I was down by 4 points and I had a clear try it was a 3 on 1 and I was 10m out from the try line and I passed the ball but the pass went 20m backwards and they got the ball and won it makes no sense plz fix your game.Version: 1.3.1
✓ Good but.....very flawedWith so few rugby games available on any platform I don’t like knocking this one. It’s a good bit of fun, but hugely frustrating. On a simple note, it seems the developers have never seen any of the England team so while nice to have the names, it really doesn’t create any connection when they are so wildly wrong. Even player dynamics, like Jonny May being caught by an opposition 2nd row or Manu Tuilagi being flattened by the tiny scrum half, just isn’t realistic in any sense. The game interface is clumsy and often doesn’t react when an action is requested, or does the wrong thing. The line out mechanics are a joke and the scrum misses the opportunity for attacks from the base which would be a good dynamic to add. The tackling defensive play is a button mashing exercise. Also quickly hit a limit where you need to spend real money to progress..Version: 1.3.4
✓ Money grabThe problem with this game is the game energy. You can only play a game every hour and a half unless you pay $1 a game. So unless you want an app you won’t play or a meaningless whole to throw your money in don’t get it!.Version: 1.3.2
✓ Pants, but 2 stars because it’s playable for free.Precisely no progress from older versions. Attacking play is limited to running and passing with very limited ability to sidestep or for supporting players to change direction without the ball and so far as I can work out, no ability to use a dummy pass. Box kicking from rucks is shown as possible but I haven’t managed to get it to work and rucks themselves are boring and predictable because they’re always won by the team in possession and there’s no point putting players into a ruck hoping for a turnover. It won’t happen. Defence is simplistic. You run into a player to tackle them. Only you don’t because by the time you’ve got there they’ve passed the ball. The AI pattern of play is predictable, attacking in a narrow channel with passes back and forth and never moving the ball wide. Then there’s the ludicrous insistence of the AI insisting on kicking the ball into touch as soon as the whistle blows for half or full time regardless of position on the field or score line. I had the crazy situation of the AI team being in the act of diving to score and then kicking the ball to touch rather than scoring a try. If you want a realistic rugby simulation game, don’t waste your time. If you’ve never really played or watched rugby then you may not spot the inconsistencies or niggles but I’d imagine the limited gameplay will soon frustrate you anyway. A bottom-up rethink needed..Version: 1.3.6
✓ Average at bestGlitchy AF, can’t ever win a scrum, sometimes when I open packs and win players I won’t get them in my team, play a whole 6 nations/World Cup tournament dominating every game and end up winning some average bronze player no ones ever heard of, won a load of gold match packs (around 40/50) but never had a gold player despite the game allegedly claiming there is an 8% chance of getting one (should’ve had 3/4 by now if the % was right). Basically false advertising and a whole heap of glitches/bugs mean all the time I’ve spent on this game have given me nothing to show for it than an average team of silver players from teams no one has heard of! Lot of improvement needed.Version: 1.3.1
✓ TrashTrash game. Don’t waste your time.Version: 1.3.6
✓ A good game but..The game is good. I feel as if though it needs quite a few touch ups. Some of the animations could be done better when passing and receiving the ball. Would be nice if the player cards told you what position they recommend or would be best at. The time should be slowed by a bit to let the players have more to do. And make some players slower than others ie Karl tunukuafe should be slower than some players like George bridge at who is quite fast in real life. Overall good game but needs some development. Possibly make the AI a bit harder to play against for more fun..Version: 1.2.0
✓ Good time-waster for a few daysGame is ok for a 2 day muck around but it is impossible to win a world cup to get better players and there is no possible way to get better at the game. Even with all forwards at a ruck , scotland can still steal your ball every 2nd ruck. Completely unrealistic.Version: 1.2.4
✓ What you’d expectThe defensive gameplay is completely absent from the game. No matter what you press, your players seem to automatically move and make their own tackles. The “dodge” function also seems to do nothing. The defensive gameplay needs to be reworked so that users can control their players and make tackles. I like the way you can get player cards in packs and build a good team, however, you only have space for 3 post-game packs, each taking 3 hours to unlock. This means, since you get almost nothing in the way of match rewards, there’s no point playing more than once every 3 hours. This could be changed by allowing users to buy packs with the cash earned from playing matches. The “add player to ruck” button is in the same place as the “kick” button, which means that when your player is being tackled, its easy to accidentally kick the ball if he shakes the tackle off. This happens fairly regularly and is really frustrating since a change in possession puts the game down to luck (since you have no control over defence). Also, it could be useful to have a “controls” page in the settings..Version: 1.2.3
✓ Good but could be so much betterFirstly and most importantly I stopped playing the game because of the ads and requirement to ‘have power’ to play a game. I would so much rather just have paid for game and have the ability to play whenever I want without adverts. I hate the addition of things like ‘medical packs’ and ‘cold coins’ and ‘game money’. All that stuff is just unnecessary noise. Call me old fashioned but what I want from a rugby game is to play rugby matches between teams I can recognise. It would be great to have the ability to create your team as well - even if it is just naming the players. The gameplay is really quite good for a mobile app and it is fun to play. It could be a brilliant, brilliant game if the above is addressed, along with the few glitches in the game that are mentioned in the other comments..Version: 1.3.0
✓ Completely bogus rankings, gameplayUSA 69 in rankings?? Are you kidding? Same as Russia?!? Absolutely ridiculous! I don’t know what broke company made this game but the rankings and gameplay are terrible and haven’t been updated in years. Just shows the low budget and little time put in to this games development. Don’t play it. Wait for a real developer who knows what they’re doing (EA, 2K) to make a decent rugby game, cause this ain’t it..Version: 1.3.1
✓ Rigged!!!To whom is reading this when I kick the ball along the floor I am the first one there most of the time but yet I still don’t pick up the ball, also when I am not there first I pick the ball up. Game time is soooo short and when ever the time goes out they always kick the ball out. I played a team that was 68 rated in the minor division and I was 58 rated I couldn’t get the ball and they just ran through me. Plz fix it. In the World Cup I am New Zealand and they played Ireland who are 1 rated above New Zealand and I beat them 27-0 HOW DOES THIS WORK. In the scrums i win every time because they ‘collapse the scrum’ but if I keep choosing scrum I can get from one end of the pitch to the other. Edit: make teams fairer and also make it more realistic!!!.Version: 1.2.3
✓ Go back to rugby nations 18When I first seen the trailer for this game I was so exited. To build a rugby team from winning packs like in fifa was a great idea and I was really looking forward to playing it. But there is so much that has been taken out of the game it’s just not fun to play anymore. The controls are good and the graphics I don’t have a problem with but you only get to play three very quick matches then have to wait an hour to play another one and no six nations or clubs anymore can’t even make your own player. Feels like the developers have gotten greedy and you can’t play the game without opening your wallet. Sorry but I’m going back to 18.Version: 1.2.0
✓ It’s OK but lots to improveThe game has great potential, however it desperately needs some fixes. The opposition always forward pass and nothing gets flagged by the ref! The line outs are just not worth attempting as the slide arrow does not move! Causing you to throw to opposition all the time! The money in the game is very poor and needs upping so you can actually afford to buy players/training points. I quite often find you have a really good battle of a game and you get rewarded £50! What the actual! It’s quite insulating really! Any way fix the issues and you’ve got yourself a good game!.Version: 1.3.2
