Rugby Union Manager

[Shimon]

Started a club as "won-gay-knee". Love the automated voice. Reminds me alot like Football manager, defs a decent game.

Every time I get a new manager game, I think I'm going to pick my starting players carefully. This lasts about 10 seconds into picking the first team, as I discover switching between screens is a pain.

I'm playing as Loughborough Students, trying to climb the ranks.

i take back what i said bout the game play before. it only took a case of getting used to and now i'm addicted. i simulate most games anyway.

 

[munstermuffin]

Some faults though. Since when is Cian Healy a TH prop.
And it sucks way utility backs have no preffered position and therefor can't be comfortable in that area.

Also how do you upgrade your centre of excellence. I've more than the 2m in the bank yet still no luck

 

[dangandan]

yeah the cian healy error was a little offputting but no biggie. i hate that utility thing too. i just use them as a number 22/substitute outside back although it sucks cos i can't put fitzgerald or nacewa into the starting xv. i've been offered the job as ireland coach and there are some players who are better than they really are. ed o'donohue is up there with o'callaghan (over 80 attribute with intimidation special thingy), although atm it can't be hard considering his form. i haven't tried upgrading my centre of excellence cos i been spendin that 2 mill on coaches etc but i will soon and see if it works for me.

My UB is awesome, I play him every game.

I've done Ireland job and agree players ratings are interesting.
Jonny o Connor the best backrow. Dave Ryan up there as prop. Ed O Donoghue as 2nd row. Heaslip only ok in backrow.
Kearney not a FB. Luke Fitz and Earls are only ok.

Still good game tho

Finally getting the hang of this now,
Won 4/5 of my last matches (lost 17 - 14 to Munster in the HEC )

2nd season as Richmond in national league 2 south. Got pipped at the post by rosslyn park for promotion, gutted. Nuneaton went down into my league, all their players are semi-pro. Gonna be difficult to get promoted now....

Hi, i downloaded the game and everything but what I wanted to know is what do you do when the game comes up with a picture of a load of crests ie. how do you start the actual game

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Click on "All Teams" - Find which team you want to play as, click on then,
Then in the bottom left it'll say the name of the team, i.e "Munster" you click on that then a box will appear next to it saying "Easy, Medium, Hard" you choose which difficulty you want and you're away

 

[MunsterMan2011]

Thanks but,I think the screen is too small....can't see all teams anywhere

Edit: do you mean all clubs?
My screen is cut so I cant see that button in the corner

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Yeah:
All Clubs --> E-O --> Munster
Munster --> Easy/Medium/Hard

Are you playing in Windowed or Fullscreen?
I can only play in fullscreen, as in windowed it cuts out the button at the bottom, like you said

REALLY? his att on mine is over 90 with world class status and resolute quality. backrow is immense with ruddock,jennings and him. just finished a season with leinster as champs in magners, magners colts and academy, heineken cup, dream team comp and ireland are 6 nations/rugby world champions! however i lost heaps of colt players cos i forgot bout the whole contract side of things.. anyone know how to recruit world class players? they never wana join my club even though they are zee best.

also munstermuffin, if you click on the price of centre of excellence you will find in the bottom left hand corner where you can click to build/upgrade.

 

[MunsterMan2011]

I've tried both...no luck

 

[munstermuffin]

Cheers Dangandan.
But it must differ from game to game in terms of players ratings

How do you accept International jobs? I keep getting mesages in jan in first season "national job offers" yet cant seem to find where you accept em or look at them..

Select your domestic club, then expand the 'Club' selection, then select the 'Manager' subselection.
Current job offers are listed in the control on the right of the screen.

God dammit I'm f'ed off with conceding last minute tries.
