Good but far too easy

A solid enough game but nowhere near enough variation in gameplay and far too easy to dominate.

It would be a far better game if more variation was built into the game. At the moment every team defends in the same way and so you can score against them quite easily - move the ball to one touchline, pass quickly along the line and they will always be caught short. Just commit each defender before you pass and you are over. Equally if you do get stopped in the 22 pass three times and you will be through. Since there are four different ways to defend the AI should use them.

Secondly there should variation in how teams attack so you have to adjust how you defend.

Lastly, you shouldn’t be able to build a dominant team so quickly. Each league should be a struggle when you reach it and you get promoted if you have the right stadium. Teams should be rated far far higher so that even if you have a team of legendary players you have to work at it.

As to how easy the game is, I have just won the world cup with Canada just by passing the ball a lot to retain possession and automatically adding an extra player to the breakdown

Great game

Great game it’s got me hooked and I don’t even know how to play rugby. It’s my favourite game

Nice

It’s nice but to join Union? Only play 2 championship seasons WITHOUT WINNING? How ‘bout this, you have to win 2 championship seasons to go into Union cuz that, bro it’s too easy to get into Union just straight off the bat.

Awesome game but terrible bugs

I really like this game and I'm invested. But the bugs are horrible.

- At the end of each half both my team and the opponent's suddenly "knock forward" the ball.

- At random times during a game my players grubber kicks the ball from the 22 when I am so close to the try line.

- Sometimes when I pass, my players do the weakest fricking pass ever towards the floor.

- When I have a player that runs in either side of the field with my winger closely running behind them they toss the ball outside the field when I try to pass to the winger.

- my players automatically pass when they are close to the try line.

I really like this game. But now I'm starting to hate it. It is frustrating.
