o Fixed issue where if more than 2 yellow card players were off field they would return to the field in the wrong order.

o Fixed issue where some gamers were not able to replace injured players.

o Fixed issue where passing to playmaker from the ruck would sometimes pass to forwards.

o Fixed issue where failed passes would sometimes be thrown at an extreme angle backwards.

o Fixed issue where the Haka would sometimes play with incorrect leader animations.

    Will this patch fix the bug where the scrumhalf would pass to a player who is binding in a ruck, resulting in a forward pass (sooooo annoying)?

    What would make this game allready more awesome than it is:
    -Lineout taken then you could get the option to form a ruck and immediate maul could be formed to drive
    -To have the option for the no.8 to pick up the ball from the scrum
    -Last for a tackled player going to ground then when to few defending team players arrive to slow the option to pick up the ball by the attacking team and continuing the attack

    Im just giving some ideas , I really love this game its the best rugby game to be released ever but I bet with an active community and a team like Sidhe this franchise could be the start of something HUGE!

    Oh yes and one last thing when a try is about to be scored, If the try scorer takes to long to score the try and being cheeky runs for the uprights the defending team should punish him by having the option to tackle the ball loose or to push or drag the player over the dead ball line?

    75% of the time when the opposition (more so online) my defense will just slowly follow the line, and if a line break occurs, my fullback will either run in the opposite direction or will not go for the ball carrier. Will the defense urgency slider fix this?

  12. Matt says:

    Hi, I have found that in career mode that if you sign or choose a player from another club when you later play that club the play plays against themselves. example i’m using the Blues and i sign Daniel Carter the next time i play against the Crusaders he is still their flyhalf and i just find this a bit of a put off for a career mode.

    Thanks.

    this game is great the best rugby game i have ever had. you guys should also include the kapa o pango haka for the all blacks to do that would be amazing. and how do you get the patch onto the ps3 version?

      Kapa O Pango cannot be put to commercial use, so we are unable to obtain the rights to reproduce it.

      The PS3 will prompt you to download the patch when you next load the game while online after it’s released. If your PS3 is not connected to the internet you will need to do so in order to update.

    Good day SIDHE team,

    The following facts need to be introduced into the next patch and alot of people will agree with me.

    >When can we expect to get the official licensing for the RSA teams and players??
    >No.8 picking up the ball
    >Set moves
    >Defensive formations
    >Starting a Maul in the line out
    >Quick line out throws

    Well done for making a great rugby game, it just need some fine tuning to be perfect!!!

    • milla says:

      The owners of the South African licences did not choose to grant Tru Blu any licensing rights, despite their best efforts. They may or may not adjust their strategy should be be in a position to make a sequel, but for now the likenesses will not be available from us, I’m afraid.

      Not all the elements of rugby we wished to include could go in, due to resourcing and time constraints. I don’t foresee this changing for this title. We can only hope we get to make another Rugby Challenge title, in which case such inclusions will be considered again.

    great game guys – one thing I would love to see is an option to pass direct to a flyhalf / kicker at anytime from a ruck – I’d imagine in the same way you currently do a cutout, except maybe one of the face buttons could always be your playmaker.

    Just sick of trying to clear my own try line and always hitting Brad Thorne with the pass! I love the big fella, but he’s not the best kicker in the world.

    I love this game.

    Biggest Issues for me with the game are:

    1) No set plays – would love to have set plays!
    2) No defensive formations
    3) No option to have a driving maul from lineouts

    If these 3 issues were fixed/added, this would be awesome!

    Also I hear rumours that this may be a yearly franchise for you guys? I cant wait another 4-5 years for another Rugby Game so keep em coming. Great job so far!

      International kits are real for licensed sides, such as the Wallabies, but not for those we have no rights to. Those are represented by our own designs, based on the national flag of the nation concerned.

    I feel cheated from this game, waited months and paid £50 for a game that the developers haven’t even bothered to find out that Wales play in a red home kit! Stop the ability to move players from the pro league so this game is useless for international rugby.

    A massive left down and this should have been announced before the uk public were lead to believe we were receiving the same functionality as the south hemisphere game.

    Unless and update is released, I will never play a game made by this developer again.

    Great great game!

    Couple of suggestions: It seems that while the PS controlled players can tackle me in-goal, I cannot do the same to them! Every so often I get bundled dead while trying to score as the defending team bump me off. Would be great to fix this if possible as not very realistic – or at least even it up so i can do the same! Also would be good to just have option to drop playmaker into the “pocket” for kicks/drop goals – often don’t have enough time to aim effectively as he’s on the gain-line – best person for kicking with currently is whoever is acting scrum-half.

    Would also be good to clarify what factors mean you win/lose a ruck… Sometimes seems that although my players are there first and over the ball, with a superior back-row I’m still losing the ruck and vise-versa…

    Thanks for all your efforts!

  79. A Rowe says:

    pipe down?!

    If you had the intelligence to read my feedback properly…..the uk public were lead to believe that YES the international teams many did not have correct licence but this could be customised by moving the real players from their domestic leagues into the international squads using the customisation option……which the update prevents. That was the issue.

    Also seeing as we had to pay a 25% premium to purchase the game at £50, a lot of money to spend on one title for many families so if I want to complain and provide constructive criticism to the developers so they take this feedback on board for the next title I will do so….if you don’t like it and would just rather blow smoke up the developers a**** then rather than read feedback in a forum which encourages discussion about the game can I suggest you go and set up a Facebook fan page and only listen to only one point of view!

    Big respect to the sites moderators that posted my feedback because that shows to me they value feedback both positive and negative and that can only be a good thing for the development of this title.

      Alot of complaining about not being able to switch the licensed club players into unlicensed national teams… specifically Celtic league players into the Wales squad, i suggest you explore the editing feature that IS included in the game. No, Wales don’t play in a flag top, but if you look at the “custom strips” available like i did you MAY find a red shirt and white shorts combo ;). Also, if the player’s names seem wrong, have a go at editing them too. If you know the starting Welsh line up, entering the correct name for the correct position shouldn’t be a problem. Who knows… maybe their appearances and stats will pleasantly surprise you.

      I just made Justin Tipuric for my Ospreys, the Baa Baas and the Lions… and can i just say i think the developer’s consideration of the needs of so many fan’s of so many teams from so many nations is incredible. The complaining really is unfair.

    First of all… thoroughly enjoying the game… i downloaded project nova and changed the offload settings and it improved the game a lot. obviously one or two niggles that need improvement. I really hope you guys make a second game.

    possible improvements
    No 8 can pick up off a scrum
    Maul from a lineout
    Better transfers and career mode… maybe get player growth into it :)
    rsa licenses would be great…(im from sa and think saru were idiots)

    …. Installed the patch yesterday. Started a club career as Auckland played 3 matches. Went to play career today now my reserve flyhalf who was origonally in the team (Anscombe) has been replaced by J.Helleur who is in the team twice now. ?? WTF?

    The new changes seem to be rushed & not made by rugby union enthusiasts.
    I conceded a penalty goal then had a punt as the restart?

    But mainly, why did my flyhalf dissapear?

      Which country did you buy the game from? If you bought it in the Northern Hemisphere it comes with the patch.

    @A Rowe,

    What part of the UK do you live in? I’m guessing somewhere in Wales? I live in London and was always aware of the licensing issues. I would think that because of the fact you’re even on this site that you would know about the problems, as it has been stated several times by Sidhe. Just saying.

    Hi Milla, if the game was bought in UK, is the 2.0 patch is already installed? The sound has glitches as well (crackling) and is by no means my flatscreen speakers (works well with DVDs, other games and TV) – has their been a previous glitch about this?

    I still find the Ai to offload far too much, would the pacth include this or is tis in the settings section? When can we expect a new updated patch?

    Thanks!

    • milla says:

      Yes. We have had one other person across all platforms and territories who has complained of sound issues. You can tweak offloading using the gameplay sliders under help and options in the menu. There are currently no plans for another update, though that is something that gets reviewed regularly.

    Just looking for ways around some licensing restrictions..I can’t update domestic Aviva Premiership squads with players from the RaboPro12 or the Top14. Any advice on a way around this?
    Another problem is not being able to update France/Wales/Ireland squads etc as its not allowed to move players from the RaboPro12 or the Top14 even into their international teams..Again, any advice on a way around this would be much appreciated..

    Good Work sidhe team,
    youve made possibly the best rugby game ive ever played. can you please try and make an update to get the official kits for teams like england, samoa, france, fiji etc. and be able to form a ruck or maul off a lineout and be able to let the no.8 pick the ball up off the back of the scrum

    Ntb. Really annoying that i can’t havemyflyhalf stand deep when i want to clear it. Rwc gives you that option
    Also, nearly every bloody time you tackle an opposition player, they off load it. Takes 10 – 15 attempts to bring a player down sometimes.
    I can’t seem to add my created player to my pro teams in career mode. Will this be fixed?
    Cheers

    • milla says:

      You can add your created player in his positions, but nowhere else. He will need to replace an existing player in that position.

      You can set offloading to your preference with the gameplay sliders under Help & Options.

    It’s not a bad game overall, I understand that there were budget constraints and a short time period. That on top of the fact that you didn’t really have any standard set, so you had to invest most of it. That’s cool. There are however a few too many issues. Some of the commentary is just weird, and has no bearing on what’s happening. I also found the kicking a little incomparably difficult. It’s way too hard!!

    One more thing, will there be a patch to allow an invented player to be in the international/super 15 sides? And will edits I make to players make there way onto players during career mode? The changes I make only seem to occur when I play a one off match…

    Cheers

    Quick question about the PS3 trophy for completing 50 matches online. Am i right that it is for just finishing matches, not winning them? I got the other trophy for finishing 25, but when i passed 50 (a combination of wins, losses and draws) nothing happened. Could it be that some of my wins and losses are from when my opponent has quit the game, and so i havn’t yet played out a full 50? I havn’t checked if the “quitter” games are recorded on the leaderboard so i’m not sure lol.

    Just thought i’d mention it as i’m from Wales, so got one of your European games with the patch included :).

  94. This Games awesome but it would be more awesome if you could do quick throw in once the ball goes out and also it will be more better if you can call the mark when you catch the ball on the behind 22 meter..

    I have a bug on lineouts.
    Sometimes the jumper will catch and pass and the ball will shoot about 10 meters past the scrum half and float as if being controlled by a jedi knight.
    THe ball will then snap back to the jumper (as though he had a high midiclorian content). Game then continues as normal.

    Also, I have a situation where players will run through each other like ghosts.

    You can’t tackle in the in goal area either. It’s almost like the player enters it’s try scoring animation and the defenders just ghost past them.

    When making breaks other team players don’t react and sprint to support, I find I have to not sprint in order for the winger to keep up. I’m sure others have pointed out, but a very simple alteration to running lines would significantly improve attack. Straighter lines or support players or options to set up simple moves when rucks are being contested would be great. Lastly, tackles involving more than one player. Presently if you add another player to a tackle it just starts a new tackle animation, if you could join second men to tackles this would be impressive. Great game though!

    Good call. i think the crunching tackle element is slightly lost in this game.
    Although the superman tackle from EA was a bit unrealistic, it was very satisfying getting a big hit in.

    Perhaps having more options in the camera would sort this out. It seems you only have far behind and then zoom into glory cam (which I really like because it re-creates the sense of how hard it is to know in reality who you have in support. Perhaps a way of hinting where your support is would be a good option here. Pulsating red highlight perhaps?)

    On the camera issue, it’s disappointing to not have more replay options.

    I started a career and then updated my players and team names but they don’t appear like that in career mode.

    Do I need to start a new career mode?

    Also, the way the superXV results and tables are laid out makes it very hard to see if you are going to make it to the finals or not.
    A patch for this would be cool.

        Hi Milla

        I’ve been trying to add custom-made players to existing squads, and took advice I found online about only swapping out existing players with the same position as your custom players. Problem is, when I’m scrolling through all of these players, my custom players aren’t in there to pick! I’ve checked that they’re saved in the edited players area, which they are, but they still don’t appear on the player list when I try and add them to a squad. Been at this for about half an hour now and am stumped. Please help! (PS3)

    It’s a great game!
    There are some things that need to be added or adjusted, but I think most people have said most of the things I wanted to say.
    But I have a different one, it’s that when I’m defending and the attacking team is over the goal line, on my PS3 I keep pressing \x\ and \triangle\, but it still won’t let me make my player tackle the opposing team.
    Is this just me, or is this something that happens to everyone, that needs to be fixed, adjusted, or added to this game?

  115. Phillip says:

    I get so annoyed by that no tacking over your own goal line because the AI can tackle u. It could be added that the heavier/bigger players have a higher chance of holding up the try scorer if u could tackle them.

      We put a great deal of effort into the customisation tools, as we were aware there were not to be squad updates released. If you check out the Rugby Challenge forum at http://forums.sidhe.co.nz you will find that a number of gamers within our community have released the data files containing many updated sides though.

    Gotta say that pretty lame. You’d expect the developers to update this kind of stuff through the playing platforms – like all other sports games I have.

    I’m a developer myself so this is either a money making scheme to buy the next release, pure laziness or poor Db skills that won’t allow quick updates.

    Agree with the comment about transferred player being able to play against you as well – it’s just weird and makes no sense.

    Love the game. Best rugby game out there. I have plenty of concerns, but many of them have been addressed by other users, so I will bring up one serious issue I have with this game: I cannot save multiple careers.

    My brother and I live in the U.S. and were very excited when we got Rugby Challenge in the mail. We love playing against each other, but we’re not always in the same place at the same time, so occasionally one of us will play the CPU separately, but I can’t start a season without deleting the career my brother started. HOW WAS THIS ALLOWED TO HAPPEN?!?!?!?!
