Rugby Union Team Manager 2017 for PC and Mac

Hi Dave just a quick question probably a stupid one lol, but when using the editor if you change the caliber for a player will that change there attributes to the caliber you selected.

How many injuries do your squads tend to have at any one time? I constantly seem to have 7-15 injured, and the players coming back from injury seem to take ages to get back up to a decent level of fitness. I'm at the AP semi finals and my best hooker hasn't played yet this season, my best 8 has played maybe ten times, and my best winger little more than that.

I've got two doctors (4&5 stars) and two physios (at least one high star, can't remember the other). Do I need to add more, or change my training? Or is that just the expected level of injury to the squad?

Could Patricio Fernandez and Judicael Cancoriet both be added (both Clermont)? Could we also get a photograph for Arthur Itturia (he is in the clermont academy on the game, but has no photograph)

Thanks

Hi Yes they can be added. We will look for a photo for that player. Although these changes will only affect the default database and will not register with existing saved games or edited databases.

I hope this is helpful

Hi Disco,

That level is understandable as we all know it is a tough sport.

Hi Derek,
You can't directly change the calibre of a player.
You can change their attribute values, which will in turn automatically drive the changes in calibre.

I hope this is helpful.

Thanks Dave, I thought that might be the case, but didn't want to leave it in case their was a simple fix to make the situation easier. I don't suppose you guys managed to look at the problem I emailed you with re the editor having buttons outside the frame of my screen?

It must look like I'm constantly complaining, but actually I'm really enjoying the game. I bought 2015, but never really got into it that much - I'm definitely finding 2017 a big improvement, and just want to fix little things here and there.

Hi Dave,
Can I ask a few questions regarding training?

Firstly, how do I assign doctors/physios/and coaches to players, and do I need to do so in order to improve their stats?
Secondly, will stats improve on their own or do I have to set players up with individual training programmes?
Thirdly, what are the major differences between the two management options, negotiation specialist and training specialist? Are extra options unlocked in the different catergories?
and lastly, will players improve faster if I say, have two backs coaches or two forwards coaches, or will the improvement be the same as with one of each coach, same applies to physios, doctors etc?

Thanks

Hi

In answer to your questions:-

1)To assign a doctor to a player goto Injuries->Assign Doctor, turn off the Auto Assign,then highlight the Doctor, highlight the player, and press Assign Doctor. Once a Doctoris assigned to a player, it will speed up the injury healing time

2) To assign a physio to a player goto Injuries->Assign Physio, turn off the Auto Assign,then highlight the Physio, highlight the player, and press Assign Physio. Once a Physio is assigned to a player, it will speed up the attrition recovery time

3) You don't assign coaches to players directly, instead you complete the team training rots. To see which coaches are involved in each training session, highlight the relevant training session in Training->Training Rota, and the coaches involved are displayed. Players must train to sustain and improve their attributes.

4) Attributes will not improve if left alone. Players must train to sustain and improve their attributes. This is achieved mainly through the team training rota, but players can carry out extra training through the individual regimes.

5) A Negotiation specialist receives a bonus in all negotiations and has extra attempts to strike a deal. A Training specialist receives a bonus in all training sessions and has extra Additions when completing the team training rota.

6) Generally, the more coaches, the better the training. You can see in the graph at Training->Training Overview the quality of training that each attribute is receiving with the current rota, and this can be tweaked before it is submitted for the fortnight.

7) Generally, the more Physios and Doctors, the better the treatment quality. The treatment quality each player is receiving is displayed in the lists in Injuries->Assign Doctors and Injuries->Assign Physios

I hope that this is helpful and that you are enjoying the game.

Hi Derek,

It'll be because we've hard coded some players attribute values and they will be overwriting the database file.
Sorry about this, in the next update we will make it so that they will only overwrite with the default database and not an edited database.

I hope this helps

Hi

Yes if you load your edited database into the editor, you'll be able to change
the club's colours for the 2D match engine.

Just a quick one for you Dave.
Craig Willis, is still down as Craig Wills (basically missing an I before the S at the end of his name). Can this be changed and if so, will it work with an edited database?

 

[MyFirstXV]

Is it down to me being incredibly bad at this game or are games somewhat over-randomised?
Some scores are just unreal

Personally I haven't noticed this much in the top divisions. However the academy teams and colts seem to have some pretty wild scores.

Ever since the latest update, when I try to edit the default database, the editor is painfully slow, and eventually the screen freezes or simply crashes. When the editor does crash, three full screen sized logos of which ever team I am editing come up on the screen and all of the controls and tabs on the editor stop working, resulting in having the shut the game down through task master, and loosing anything I have edited. This has happened over and over again since the new update, to the point where I have just given up trying.
