Rugby 25 (PS4)

This game is awful! Mechanics are atrocious lag time is bad can't even play the game properly. Load time takes over 10 minutes welcome screen is basic and boring not what I expect of a 2025 game at all! Commentating is bad played as Ireland got called Scarlets 🙄 tutorials aren't helpful at all no demonstrations or help to improve or what you may be doing wrong but worst of all I've had this game 24 hours and it's crashed on me 5 times mid game. I'm returning this game and I'll stick to ps2 rugby games as they are still better. Poor game do not waste your money!

Passing, kicking and set piece mechanics are terrible. So pretty much every aspect of playing the game. The graphics are ok but I'm not sure what all the testing and delays in release were for but they clearly haven't played the game. Passing. Surely keep it simple, 1 tap player next to you, double tap miss pass and triple tap for player behind. Or if you are selecting players they at least give a second to do so. Defence is on the receiver as he catches the ball. I so wanted to like this game.

Graphics good but gameplay awful

Terrible gameplay. Not even comparable to rugby 08. Shame for soo much hype.

Bad

Ruck mechanics are terrible - attacking team gets the ball back 90% of the time and there’s little or no way to compete. Passing can be unpredictable. Pretty glitchy. If you’ve got any of the EA Sports games and a PS2, I would stick with them. There’s been no improvement in 17 years.

Dreadful. Game keeps crashing. Game play is also pathetic. It makes it so hard to score or get the ball back from the opposition. I put it on the easiest setting, I was South Africa vs Puerto Rico and I lost 12-0. Such a shame

Very poor game play, most Premiership teams don’t even have a full squad (winger 1, second row 2) as apposed to actual players.
