Pas d’infos sur le club adverse avant de le jouer, impossibilité d’attribuer le brassard de capitaine à un joueur, les entraînements mériteraient d’être possibles pour plusieurs joueurs en même temps à cocher et pas à devoir retourner sur la playlist à chaque fois pour l’attribuer etc etc… ### 5/5 — Unique *2025-09-21* All I have to say is, this game is very unique and would recommend downloading 👍 ### 2/5 — Could be good but don’t waste your money!! *2025-09-16, version 1.0.15* Could be a good game, all the teams, players and competitions you could really want. Some of the tactics options are cool once you buy expansion packs etc. That said there’s bugs galore. One season in and you can’t progress, finished the season playing one game less than other teams (how?), game crashes when try to play full game version and you have to skip certain games pressing instant match…. Hold off spending a good £20 + until the developers drive improvements! ### 3/5 — Beaucoup de potentiel mais jeu non fini *2025-08-29* Très sympa, toutes les equipes jouables en Top 14, URC et premiership + la grande et la petite coupe d’Europe. Malheureusement le jeu ne s’actualise pas d’annee en annee, les transferts ne sont pas très bien fait, l'évolution des joueurs est peu réaliste (les joueurs ne font que progresser et ne régressent pas en vieillissant), les matchs internationaux sont payants, on ne peut pas changer de club en cours de carrière, le développement du club est limité et les possibilités stratégiques sont faibles pour peser sur le résultat. Un potentiel énorme mais mérite d’être plus abouti. ### 4/5 — Needs to be fine tuned a little please *2025-08-22* I enjoy the experience of playing this game, but needs just a bit more to make the game excellent and worth the splurge. A few notes: - I just got through my first season and started selling my players in the new transfer window. I sold one of my scrum halfs leaving me with just 1 scrum half remains on my squad. I am also trying to buy a scrum half but when I’m waiting for an acceptance for my bid (3-5 week wait period). I’m now stuck at preseason friendly 1 because I cannot fill 1 slot on the bench (since it requires it to be a scrum half) please take a look at the bench issues and allow another player to fill a spot regardless of position. This ruined a save file since I could not progress from this issue. -I think another solution to this issue above: is allow for an instant player addition/buy to fulfill the squad bench that has to be full. Or if you have a concering number of players in a specific role that might cause an issue with the bench lineup numbers, when you start a new season, allow an academy graduate player that fills in a space on the squad to be automatically added so you have depth to avoid the situation Or Just always allow for you to choose from a list of academy prospects whenever you please and fill in the empty slots when needed. - I think you should include a squad 1 and squad 2 save for squad selection part, so you do not have to constantly manually select the players for lineup. The auto-fill feature still makes mistakes with player-selection, and this would be a simple fix and time saving. - Make the game more user friendly on iPad because some features are either cut off or not shown at all. (I.e When there’s an alert pop up warning for player contracts that expire if you press continue to next season, there is an okay button that completely covers the text box you need to read. Or the button feature to select release contract for your players, you can still tap to hit the release button, but it is hidden from view and have to touch a specific area). - As mentioned earlier, when the season is about to end, I would like to renew a contract to keep my players that did well, but the feature to resign a players contract is not possible because it doesn’t work when the transfer window isn’t open. Shouldn’t you be able to resign a player you liked that year? I ended up losing players when loading the next season since I could not resign a contract before progressing. Those players ended up on a random team for me to have to buy back if I choose. - It would be easier to search players if you allow for more filters to search for players you’re looking for specifically. I.e. Give additional filters for searches like age, nation of origin of player, a players stat number that you are specifically needing to be what you need. These are suggestions but definitely fix the bench system issue because that ruined it for me where I cannot progress. Hope this review helps a bit and you make money from this game by continuing the development. Small things added to this game like I mentioned above would make it worthwhile to splurge on the paid features for this game. I would have paid, but these issues discouraged me until it’s solid. ### 4/5 — Great game but I have a problem *2025-08-09, version 1.0.15* The game is amazing i really like it I brought the full version of the game because I really liked it the I brought the additional player pack this is my problem I sell some player and that and buy a player from the pack like will Jordan the I go to the squad and see he’s name and put him in and instead of will Jordan he’s Theo Dan….like what? So please fix this because I want to use these over players not have random players ### 3/5 — Game just crashes *2025-06-02, version 1.0.15* I like customization but whenever I try to play a game it just crashes and my phone is only an se so it’s not that old. I don’t know what’s going on but please fix it. ### 3/5 — Jeu pas prêt *2025-05-20* Le jeu a un potentiel énorme et n’est pas mauvais, il est juste pas fini. Il manque beaucoup d’explication et de fonctionnalités. Par exemple on ne peut entraîner qu’un joueur par un joueur et on est obligé de payer. On ne sait rien sur nos adversaires et on doit quand même personnaliser la stratégie d’équipe. Beaucoup de règle sont manquantes ou fausses. En plus la plupart de fonctionnalités sont payantes. En bref le jeu pourrait être excellent mais il n’est pas fini et du coup c’est frustrant. ### 2/5 — DON’T BUY 6N TOURNAMENT *2025-05-19, version 1.0.15* DO NOT BUY six nations tournament. I bought it because I thought it would be fun to do a tournament with a few of the nations in the tournament. I won as England and wanted to try France. But when I went to re-choose my team it asked me to pay AGAIN!! Bear in mind the tournament is only 5 games long and all you do it choose a team and some players and that’s literally it. Save yourself £5 and DO NOT BUY THE 6N TOURNAMENT ITS NOT WORTH IT AT ALL!!!!!!! ### 4/5 — Good but has issues *2025-05-13, version 1.0.15* Very good but after the beginning of the first season, the transfer window never opens. It says it has opened but when u click on it it says it’s closed. ## Frequently asked questions about Rugby Manager 25 ### What is Rugby Manager 2025?
