How improving career mode can save rugby challenge 4!

Alright everyone and especially developers I wanted to talk about career mode.

I know you guys have mentioned on the website that there will be improvements into career mode but I’m writing this to give my opinion on how career mode can improve your game.

Career mode is a wonderful concept and can keep players occupied for weeks, months and even years. However in rugby challenge 3 playing career mode became more of a chore due to the lack of depth in the game mode it’s self

After watching a video by popular YouTuber cornf1ake it’s disappointing to see that there has been no changes in how career mode operates and to me that doesnt bode well for rc4 https://youtu.be/OtmqqkdOsIY

So what does career mode need?

For me what I see career mode needing is:

- Player Progression

Older players need to regress and younger players need to progress. With this you can nurture the young players to get to the likes of barrets and kolbes. Instead we just have 40 rated players vs 40 rated players and trying to immerse yourself into the game is nearly impossible.

- Rookie/ Academy system

In order for young players to progress they need to come from somewhere instead of just being able to be drafted,a basic academy system to start with would be perfect, all rookies can be auto generated and have different set potentials. I believe the better teams produce better talents

- Tours against teams e.g super rugby teams against british and Irish lions. This would be fantastic instead of playing bore friendlies. If lisences for these teams isnt possible then just make em up!

- AI plays there best team and in correct positions

In 3 seasons at the crusaders will Jordan started to play into scrum half. Makes no sense to me the best players should play in there in best positions

- Advanced drafting period

For me the drafting period is boring and a bit terrible, the more money you throw at them they eventually come. In real life England players can’t play for England if they leave the country so this should lower the chance of signing anyone and instead progressing rookies.

Developers I know you’re working hard and i love how you’re listening and trying to give us a great game but we need this for the longevity of the game. Hope this doesnt fall under deaf ears

Cheers
