Hi there I’m a big fan of the rugby challenge series, however I’m currently feeling frustrated. The game currently out is considered an “early access” and it has been a while since there have been any updates. I’m feeling as though we were promised all these updates to the game and yet nothing is happening. Little things such as match conditions are always sunny and dry, no night game or rainy/wet games to make it interesting. No new career mode enhancements to make the game authentic as possible. I’ve spent so much money on this game with the promise that there will be new updates throughout the game, please respond so I know where you guys are in terms of updates and actually giving your fans the final package which you promised MONTHS ago. I genuinely feel i have been scammed. Please have the courtesy to respond to this message as i have attempted to engage with you on multiple platforms.
Kind regards.
I have to agree with OP. Whilst I dont yet own the game (waiting for PC release). The lack of communication with fans is worrying and frustrating. I dont think any of us fans would mind what you say along as you are upfront and honest with regards development. You have our sympathy I'm sure being a small developer in a big pond but we would like to know the situation. Especially around licenses, Pro14 being a major example.
Hey guys, we understand your frustration and acknowledge updates for this game have taken slightly longer than anticipated but to put your mind to ease, just know there are updates on the way 🙂
Thank you ! that is all we ask for to be honest, communication and honesty. Love the game massively, just need those little updates to make it the best rugby game in a decade!
@Amu Mashele Not a problem and glad to hear you're enjoying the game!
Is there a reason you can’t edit the appearance (strapping/tape) of star head players ?
is it possible to get licensed boots, and a boot catalogue like in pro evo. can we also have restrictions removed on stats and boots on 'star player'/licensed players please? can we have career mode player growth and retirement. one could be to many injuries leads to premature career retirement can we run training sessions to boost player stats more set play options. a set play catalogue that you can assign set plays to your team different kicking motions for kickers. so you have say 15 different animations to choose from that you can add to players. you could also add in week foot ability and usage. Also a weeker hand ability and usage
a conditioning stat, injury frequency
i also think you need to improve the goal kicking meter. their should be a wider sweet spot and slower movement on the meter the better you are as a kicker.
their should also be a stat for hookers that has a similar impact on line out throws. i think you could also make some small tweeks to scrums and mauls.
scrums have a button to press to feed the ball, also to feed straight and to deliverately not feed straight
2 have a button to press to hook the ball, then go to the push up buttons
for srums and mauls, you should be able to drive over and score rather than stop before the try line. conversely their should also be the option to collapse the maul or create a choke tackle effect.
yellow cards, red cards and penalty tries.
penalty tries do not seem to be issued
yellow cards only awarded for high tackles.
yellow card should also be issued for repeated infringements, such as repeated slowing down of the ball, and repetitive pens.
their should be an animation to warn from the ref. high tackles some should be red if contact with head.
their should be an option for no arms tackles aswell.
defence,
you should be able to adjust to either blitz or drift defence
you should be able to adjust line speed.
We appreciate your list of suggestions here @james phillips !
do you think that you will have access to other licences in the future or the ligues don't want to share their licences ?
@ArchDemons Hi there! As this would be classed as "updates" to the game we cannot disclose this information here unfortunately. In saying that, if you didn't already know, the Waratahs team will be joining the RC4 game 🙂
