As fans have discovered you can create new clubs leagues and players by using the editor to edit existing data.
The southern hemisphere leagues and players are unlicensed. The Super Championship is a composite domestic league at the top of a promotion and relegation structure involving Australia Division 1, New Zealand Division 1, South Africa Division 1, Australia Division 2A, Australia Division 2B and New Zealand Division 2. Etc.

Thanks for info. Much appreciated. So the Super 15 Competition is a stand alone competition but you can also get promoted to it if you do a career game with a team from Australia Division 1, New Zealand Division 1, South Africa Division 1, Australia Division 2A, Australia Division 2B and New Zealand Division 2? If you play as one of those domestic teams, do you play with/against the players from the Super XV, or are those players kept "elevated" within the Super XV squads? Basically I am slightly puzzled as people have said that if you play as a team like the Cheetahs in the SA Currie Cup (South African), you don't have any of the good players, as they are only in the Cheetah's Super 15 squad? Will the likes of Willie le Roux (albeit an unlicensed version) be in the Cheetah's Currie Cup squad or am I right to assume that the players from clubs that play Super Rugby have been (bizarrely) taken out of their domestic squads?

Has the same thing been done with European Champions Cup etc, with Saracens players only being in the continental competition and not domestic one?

The editor doesn't sound like it provides a "fully customisable" experience based on others posts, but will read a little more.

Once again thanks. I just want to work out a few details before parting with £30!

I'll try it during the week end !

I think i already tried it but i had 2 black strips around the game window... Impossible to have a real fullscreen game... If it exists a réal solution or a near patch with more resolution...

 

[AledJames]

The same thing happens again in January (with the two games in two days thing) just in case you hadn't noticed that. Also, is it possible to change the captain during the game (like if the captain goes off or something)?

I also wondered about this.

Hi everybody,

Just a word of disappointment after a semi season with yout gamr Rugby Union Team Manager. Disappointment beacause I had some pleasure with this game, which is not often the case with rugby games.
My problem :
I started a season with Stade Francais Paris (I'm French andi I apologize for my errors in English). On the French League, all is OK. But there is a problem with Champions Cup (Euro Tier Cup 1 on the game). 26 teams on the competition while it's 20 teams on reality with 5 groups of 4 teams. But we can imagine with this competition with 26 teams, why not. Rules for qualifications which was write on the game was good. The 6 1st of each group and the 2 best 2nd qualified for quarter finals. Good idea.

But with 2 groups with 5 teams and 4 groups with 4 teams, it's difficult to have an equitable competition. Then, after my 6 matches of group (i was in a group with 4 teams), i could see the table quarter finals. And it was very strange.
Bath finished for exemple 3th of his group (group with 4 teams) and to be out of the competition. But Bath was on quarter finals !!! On the same group, Munster was 2nd and out of competition. Racing Metro was 1st and qualified, but as a best 2nd !!
And there was a lot of other problems : Stade Toulousain was 1st of his group (group of 5 teams) but went through Euro Tier Cup 2. And Castres which finished 2nd of the same group was on quarter finals.
To finish, i was interested by shedule of other teams during the competition. And i saw that some teams of group1 played vs teams of group2 for exemple. So there was a big problem with this competition and I have to say that the pleasure that I get to play this is out now.

I hope all was cleared for you with this message. And my question is : IS it normal ? Have you got the same problem ?
Then, i saw that a creator of the game is active on this forum and I wanted to have his opinion (PS : I sent a mail to customersupport@alternativesoftware with 2 two pictures to show you the problem. I don't know how can i show you on the forum)

Have a good day guys

I just wanted to show you photos of table and the problem that i talked you previously. Hope it works

Hi,

Binou94, I've same problem in Euro Tier 1 cup (Champion cup).

The qualification system doesn't work.

An example:

after the pool stage, i've this ranking:

1) Ulster 26pts
2) Stade Toulousain 26pts
3) RC Toulon 25pts
4) RM 92 24pts
5) Leinster 22pts
6) Bath 22pts

7) Harlequins 19pts
8) Northampton 17pts

9) Saracens 16pts
10) Wasps 15pts
11) Munster 15pts
12) Stade Français 14 pts

So, if i correctly understood

First quarter final ==> Ulster vs Northampton.
Second QF ==> ST vs Harlequins.
Third QF ==> RC Toulon vs Bath.
Four QF ==> RM 92 vs Leinster.

Qualified in European challenge

Saracens
Wasp
Munster

In reality :



An other question : Why are there two pools of five teams??

Thank for your reply

 

[DeRenert]

Hello,

same problem here with the EuroCups.
And I don`t quite understand why there are 26 teams in the Tier 1 cup, you simply could have stuck with the old Heineken-cup-system, 24 teams, 6 pools (and the challenge/tier 2 cup with 20 teams, 5 pools.) It would have made things less complicated.
Maybe this can be fixed in a future update.

And I have noticed that several tier 2 countries like Uruguay, Moldova, Germany, Belgium, Korea, Poland, Ukraine, Czech Republic, Zimbabwe etc are not in the game; not really a big issue, I know, but it would be nice if those and a few other countries were also included in the game.
Maybe the World Cup could be with promotion/relegation (to avoid the complicated qualification system that is used in reality), the team with the least points is relegated, one of the other tier-2-teams gets promoted (via random system)

One last thing: l would prefer the game to be endless, like most management games, knowing that after 15 seasons its game over is a bit anticlimactic

Apart from these few issues, the game is really enjoyable, the only decent rugby managment game around, the second update has added a lot to the 3d-game, so thanks for that.

 

[binou94]

So, I'm "happy" to see that i'm not alone with this problem.
Can you look at shedule of teams wich are on the group with 5 teams and see if there is a problem again ? For exemple, team of group1 which plays vs a team of group2 ...

As DeRenert said, that damageable beacause the game is fun

Hope to have an answer of Alternative, creator of the game

- - - Updated - - -

And I tried to find a "logical" explication. For exemple, with my season, it could be possible that the qualification system was done with goal-average and not with points of each group...
Beacause when you look my first picture : you can see that Bath, Harlequins, Northampton, Castres, Toulon, Ospreys, Leinster for exemple have better goal-average. But with my team (Stade Francais), I had a better GA than RM 92 ! That why I think it's not true but I tried ton find the logical of the game

Thanks for pointing this out This has been fixed and will be in the next update.Great to see you are enjoying the game.

Just out of interest Dave, do you have a rough idea when this update will be released?

 

[binou94]

Thanks Dave for your answer. Hope to see the new update as soon as possible.
And congrats for your job because it's a good game for rugby fans

See you

I'm delighted to hear there is a new update on its way. I've had a little holiday from the game as been visiting family, but I look forward to getting back into it!

Hello Dave. I don't suppose you could answer my query above? Also is it possible to post on the Steam forum if you haven't bought RUTM?

What do people make of the game engine? Does it feel like the AI is intelligent?!

I might wait on the game to see what happens after updates as £29.99 is quite a lot of money.

 

[Dave]

Unfortunately I've found with this update the game doesn't open beyond the first menu. I press 'Play' and this menu disappears as normal but the game doesn't start.

Is anyone else having this issue?

Nevermind, is working after a manual reinstall.

The editor only allows you to change player names and abilities, as well as team, stadium and competition names. Don't get the game if you are after a Football Manager or Championship Manager style editor and accurate reflection of leagues.


If you are playing games with the Northern Hemisphere clubs the experience is different as the leagues are modelled better. Maybe they will change the domestic leagues in the Southern Hemisphere so that the lack of Super players domestically is sorted. Who knows!!! I would imagine that the sell-ability or perhaps non sell-ability of the game in Southern Hemisphere countries will determine this. The comps down south are well followed up here but I guess things also take time.


Overall I would recommend game. Never posted on Steam so cannot comment there.

Help !

Hello all,

I'm back to home and still have the problem and I still can't play. I tried sending an e-mail to the customer service about my problem but still no answer from them.

And i'm becoming desperate so please help me.


For those who do not know yet my problem: I have a laptot with a screen resolution of 1366x768. I bought the game 1 or 2 weeks ago on steam and when i launch it, the game launch in windowed (even if i tick fullscreen). I tried with alt+enter but the game does not work anymore when it put the game fullscreen.

Here is a picture of my problem.
Please some help...

 

[Casfan]

You can still play the game and it does tell you on Steam etc. what the screen resolutions are :-

1024 x 768 or 1024 x 600 24-bit colour Display ( not 1366 x768)
So forget those borders and enjoy the game It is great game.
