Questions reference Rugby Team Manager 2015

[Damo_Ryan]

Ive noticed one major glitch so far. So heres what happens. I kick the ball, miss touch, their full-back then returns with a kick in-field, MY full-back picks up and runs up the pitch but is tackled by their forwards....which are about 20/30 meters offside.....as far as I can see....there is no offside line at all, even from rucks.

Yeah I've noticed this too, players are often in front of the kickers, be good if this could be fixed asap. Also thing I'd like to see fixed is that scrum moves are too effective as the forwards don't leave the scrum until the next phase.

Hi Dave,

I've noticed that if a front row player gets sin binned, for some reason I automatically have to sub my Openside Flanker (really frustrating as it is Warburton) also after the sin bin is over I can't replace the player taken off for the front row specialist.

Any chance of fixing this so i can choose who gets subbed etc.

Thanks

I agree with both of these especially off sides when kicking.


Also feel kicking tactics could be developed. Often when there is bad weather teams might kick more as free flowing rugby is less possible. Would be awesome if the game reflected this sort of thing.

 

[AledJames]

I've noticed a few more bugs that should be fixed. The biggest problem is that the game crashes, sometimes it's right after a game ends, but then on other occasions it just crashes randomly. There's also been a few occasions where the player catching the ball from the kick-off knocks it on, yet play goes on without a scrum. One final thing, whenever a fly-half goes off with a yellow card, it's the openside flanker that moves to 10. This is unrealistic and would probably not happen in real life so it'd be better if a back moves to 10 instead.

Hi Aled
Sorry to hear of your crash problem.
Please could you upload your last game autosave file please to:

http://www.example-site.co.uk/GameUpload.html ( instructions are on screen)

So we can look into this for you


Many thanks for your comments
Play will go on with a knock on if the other side gathers the ball immediately.

The openside flanker has to take the position of the sin binned player as the 2 flankers are the only surplus players that
are not needed in certain moves, and not needed in the scrum or line-out.
I hope this is helpful
Kind Regards

Hi Dave, just wondering whether you guys have any further plans for Rugby Union Team Manager 2015, or is the focus now on the Rugby League game until next year's game?

I hope it has sold well.

Hi BakkiesBokke,
We will be continuing to work on Rugby Union Team Manager 2015[ as well as completing Rugby League Team Manager 2015 both games will benefit from each other.
Kind Regards
Dave

Hi Dave, I'm glad to hear that there are still plans afoot.

 

[Casfan]

Great to hear that you are continuing to improve the game, plus as a keen RL fan it is tremendous news that you have a League game on the way too.
If it is as good as Rugby Union Team Manager, then I for one will be one of the first in the queue to buy a copy.

Hi Dave,

I've got a technical question, hoping you can help. Not sure if this is to do with the game or Steam but I've installed the game and trying to run it, but Steam tells me it's being updated. However, the update keeps stalling and timing out, so I have no way into the game. Do you know if this is a common problem/is there a quick fix? Any advice much appreciated - very frustrating!

Cheers,

James

 

[Dave]

Hi James,
Sorry to hear of your problem, it is a strange one.
Please do try uninstalling the game completely, and then reinstall the game from Steam
If you still have a problem please email me with your computers specifications at:-

Hey Guys,

First up the game is awesome, I love it, good stuff.

So I'm not sure if I'm being really dumb but is there like a financial overview screen that shows club income/expenditure? It's a bit frustrating being told I'm going to go over the wage cap if I buy that new prop I so desperately need when I have no idea how much I am currently spending on wages and stuff.

Hey guys.

Just want to know how to get the TOP14 dream team included in the dream team challenge. It exists in the editor but for some reason, it's the only one that is never in the dream team challenge.
Also, will there be a patch or something to change the world cup pools? This could be a good correction because so far every world cup follows more or less the same scenario.

Thanks for your reply.

Hello Dave,

I have a question,

Intrigued by the systematic domination of some teams, I wanted to test by changing the database via the editor

Example: Toulon. 5 Heineken Cup and 5 TOP14 over 6 years.

I changed the database and I put a score of 10 to all players. Despite this Toulon dominated the TOP14 and Heineken Cup winning both .... with that players rated 10 !!! I continued on 3 seasons and Toulon won 3 Heineken Cup and 2 TOP14.

In the end, the game doesn't take into consideration the player notes when we simulate !!

After 3 seasons and 3 different tests, the results are the same and there are incomprehensible. You can not win with a team rated 10.

Do you have an explication for that?

Thank Dave

The TOP14 season finishes too late for the T14 Dream Team to be included in the Dream Team Challenge.

Okay. Thanks for your reply. I assume there's no way it can be fixed...

Hi Ector,
Thank you for your post.
When the attributes are changed by large amounts in the editor, the player's calibre must also be changed to reflect the new values.
We changed all RC Toulon players to attribute values of 10, and also changed their calibre to Amateur, and they lost 8 out of 8 matches in the TOP 14, as you would expect.
I hope this is helpful.

So is calibre ultimately more important than attributes? As in it over rides it?

 

[Dave]

Kind of. The simulator takes into account many differing factors, the heaviest weighted being the player attributes.
So the team with the highest attributes has the best chance of winning.
But if one club very strongly out-calibres the other team, the simulator can take a different path in deriving the result.

This is what has happened in Ector's example, RC Toulon have numerous International and World Class players, so even when the attributes were reduced, they still very strongly out-calibre the opposition.
