3. Tendencies

Having player tendencies is a must, to truly create diversity between players forwards or Backs, such as Jonah Lomu and Shane Williams don’t play alike etc. I wanna fear the drop goal prowess of Johnny Wilkinson, or the chip & chase game of beauden Barrett, the 50m dropkicks from Fran’s steyn or Christian Cullen opportunistic slicing apart defences,

Fully customisable tactical plays:

Being able to create custom set plays, Team systems and Adjustments. etc

All blacks are a counter attacking team

Springboks is a grit & grind team

2015 - All Blacks most experienced team assembled rwc

2011 - never say die attitude and heart, injuries galore

2007 - Springboks Ruled set pieces and up & Under Kicks

2003 - England was a 10 man wrecking crew

1999 - Wallabies defence conceding 1 try in rwc

1995 - All Blacks best team to never win rwc

1991 - David Campese

1987 - Dominant offensive All Black team

being able to make adjustments to stop Jonah Lomu from destroying my defense etc

Customisable player on field positioning: being able to place my players where I want on Défense and offense, if I have a fast mobile forward like Kieran Read ill place on the outside provide me with a extra piece in the back line or unleash a monster such as Billy Vunipola in the middle of the field creating overlaps. Replicating the dual playmaking roles the all blacks used in the 2019 World Cup is another example, or Pieter Steph Du Toit assigned to hounding the opposing playmaker.

Thank you for your time and I hope we can implement these features into the game, I appreciate it.
