### 4/5 — Idées et bug

*2024-08-31*

J’ai un problème quand je veux choisir une équipe ça me fait quitter et il t a écrit erreur, pour les idées je demande de rajouter le super rugby et la pro d2,pouvoir crée notre équipe et voir les joueurs s’améliorer ex si j’ai un joueur a 14 bah dans 3ans il passe a16 et un vieux joueur passe de 18 a 13 voila sinon superbe jeu 👏

### 1/5 — Shockingly bad

*2024-08-01, version 1.0.16*

Having been involved with rugby union for 50 years, I have yet to find a management game that is on par with FM series. I though perhaps this is the one.
I dont understand how the IOS developer portal lets through this kind of low standard buggy mess. So many facets of this app, simply do not work, you just sit and get stuck, no feedback, no error checking mechanisms.
If you guys are serious about rugby please do not insult us by telling us you have the game, when it’s simply untrue.

### 4/5 — Full version?

*2024-07-18, version 1.0.16*

Can’t even purchase full version? 
Love the game tho

### 4/5 — Impossible d’effectuer des transferts !

*2024-06-12*

Le jeu est quasi parfait ! Pour un jeu de rugby sûr téléphone c’est super ! La forme des joueurs est cohérente les notes aussi mais le gros point noir c’est que nous n’avons pas la possibilité d’effectuer des transferts (alors qu’on a l’argent pour !) c’est dommage mais le jeu est top ! Vrai nom d’équipe de joueur de ligue, calendrier logique, avec coupe d’Europe franchement c’est super

### 5/5 — Will there be updates when the new prem season comes?

*2024-05-20, version 1.0.12*

🫡

### 2/5 — Can’t even play it

*2024-05-12, version 1.0.12*

Won’t let me passes the loading screen with the logo tried uninstalling it and restalling and it didn’t work. Payed a fiver for the full version and can’t even use it

### 2/5 — Buggy and basic

*2024-04-22, version 1.0.11*

There’s a gap in the market for a good game like this, but this game is a long way off at the moment. Two quite simple fixes would make the game much more replayable: Player progression: As far as I can tell, player stats never change which produces absurd results and means there is zero value in young players with lower ratings because they will never grow. This is a really core, basic, essential feature that is essential to a management game and missing here. Fitness bug: Something wrong with the fitness where players lose points of fitness while you’re selecting a team. I.e someone has 95% fitness so you swap them to your starting 15 then all of a sudden they only have 75% fitness. Really annoying. There are many many other things which could be done to improve the game but these are the two most urgent which are currently making the game basically unplayable.

### 2/5 — Has potential

*2024-04-18, version 1.0.11*

This game had so much potential, 

For transfers it would be nice to see why offers have been declined and it would also be nice to be able to put up players for sale 

Younger players should be able to upgrade and become better, whereas older players ratings should decrease 

I would also like the transfer window to be open a little longer because it doesn’t give you enough time to buy and sell players and you have to wait till the end of every season to be able to

### 4/5 — Addictive but some features need fixing

*2024-04-07, version 1.0.10*

I got addicted to this game really quickly however there is a few things that need fixing. A couple of times I have been caught out by not having available players to make a full team . You should be able to put any players on the bench. I had a full team with plenty of players however I had 2 players go injured and I couldn’t replace them on the bench and it pretty much stops you from going any further . You should also get money for winning the leagues and it was annoying seeing i didn’t after I won .

### 2/5 — Very promising but broken

*2024-03-05, version 1.0.9*

On paper, this game is very very good. I’m a massive football manager fan and a rugby fan so this ticks all the boxes. However there are a few issues.

1.) game breaking bug. I currently cannot get past the second league game of the season. It loads in and just shows home and away but nothing ever happens (I’m trying to manage the ospreys).

2.) squad numbers, for some reason replacement hookers are 17 when they should be number 16.

3.) transfers - it would be great to have feedback as to why a transfer offer was rejected. Is the club just unwilling to sell the player, did the player not want to join, or is it just too low an offer.

There’s also a lot of scope to improve the tactics page and allow for in-game adjustments based on the scoreline etc.

This game could easily be a 5* review with a few tweaks and I would’ve scored 3 or 4 if it wasn’t for a bug which currently makes it unplayable even though I’ve spent £5 on unlocking the full match view.

Happy to discuss with any devs in more detail if it’ll help as I really think you’re onto a winner here and have found a great gap in the market!
