Bugs!

Paid £5 for this game, but far too many bugs to make it worth buying! 1) Players are not recovering after being rested, which means that eventually you have a team of exhausted players. 2) After selecting to start match, no players come out on the pitch which means that you have to delete your save and start again. 3) No way to develop players, so no incentive of playing young players of lesser quality worth the view of improving their stats. (Not a bug, just a feature that is lacking).

Not far off being a great game, but far too many problems to be worth buying at the moment. If the developers address these issues, then I’d review the app as 5* most likely. Disappointed.

Good if slightly buggy game, great potential

Really enjoyed the game but at the end of the first season it got stuck and wouldn’t advance as there was a match to be played between two English teams ( I played as a URC team). Would love to see some player stats through the season/ career (ie tries, conversions, tackles, metres etc?) would also love to see player development ( ie young players improving) and maybe some form of development coaching, maybe a youth academy!

Fun game

Game is very fun and easy to play. Somethings I have noticed that are inaccurate such as when scoring a penalty kick you then kick off instead of receiving g. This also seems to happen when scoring a try and missing the conversion but you receive the kick off when you score a try and convert it. However if you look past this it is very enjoyable. Excited to see the potential additions of international sides, even just adding the international break so you lose some of your best players that week.

Bugs ruining enjoyment

A few bugs are making the game a frustrating experience;

1 - Often commence game to find that no progress is being made, so have to restart app.
2 - Weird stuff happening with team selection and subs. If I replace the #2 scrum half with one from the bench, both slots suddenly become empty. Also times when players present twice in same team.
3 - Extended player on 5 year contract only to find 5 duplicates instead! Left me unable to sign new players as a result.
4 - Can’t release players from contract! I have some poor players I need to release. But the app doesn’t process it! (Combined with point 3 is a nightmare!)
5 - Players don’t develop season to season. So no incentive to develop or keep young players.

This game is close to being very good. But feels like a beta version.

Great game but transfers need major improvement

Really enjoying the game. It’s fun and easy to play. The big issue is that I can’t bring in any players apart from the ones that have been scouted. No matter how much money or how good or bad the players are, every bid is rejected.
There are other little features I would like in the future but the transfers needs a big improvement.
Overall, a very good game

Response from developer

Hi Thanks for your feedback We have changed the logic to the acceptance rate and rules, this will be available in the next update so you will find offers more realistic Can you email me at support@rugbymanager.co.uk with the other little features you mention? Thanks

Nearly fantastic

Nearly a great game however mine has frozen and is no longer playable. I can’t even pass the opening screen anymore. Before I thought it was a great game but could definitely benefit from more finer details i.e. player upgrades/downgrades each season, more in-depth league wide player form or a top league player stats section. Hopefully see some improvements soon so I can play again!

Needs some improvements

The game is fun and has potential, but lacking in a fair few things. Transfer market could have some additions to make it better, finding players by nationality, maybe abit of information to help decide whether to attempt to buy a player (this player is a 1st selection or this player is unhappy at club) or something to make it more realistic and give us more of an idea if the club would release.

Secondly the scouting is pants, you can only send them to far away countries and have no flexibility to be able to choose positions you are searching for or anything. Add home country scouting and add more options to it.

Finally the pre game talks need improving.
Neutral- good luck your going to need it?????
Who would ever say that. Lol. Please sort that out.

Other leagues?

So I’ve been playing for quite a while and I love it but with everyone going to Japan and would love the Japanese league 1 and 2 to be in the game. I would also love there to be leagues like the England championship so there can be relegation and promotion. Please reply Thank you from me

Response from developer

Hi Freddie, thanks for your feedback, we are looking to add new leagues in the future. In terms of promotion and relegation, that is down to the Rugby powers who make those decisions as currently there is no relegation. Should that change we will evolve the game. The French league does have relegation and we are looking to bring that feature in next season. Thanks

Good game but couple issues

Can’t seem to pick your own subs, have to use the auto fill option which sometimes picks players from wrong positions or with low fitness
When looking for transfers, it would be nice to find a player from a certain league or from a certain team. Like looking for a good young player from a lower side club

Thanks for your feedback, this has been fixed and will show on the next update

Disappointed overall

The layout of the game is too clunky. Get rid of scouts, reduce tactical options. Make it much easier to see who is in the squad. Can’t play players out of position but can play props on the wrong side?? Best thing you could do is to show the player ratings from a match so you can play your players in the best form. Have been waiting for a game like this but have to say overall disappointed in the experience of the game

Thanks for your feedback, we will take your comments in to consideration for future development. The full version of the game is now live, you would have played the lite version which was there for testing purposes only. I hope you enjoy it
