Wow, thanks cool feature. I know that you're probably overwhelmed with other projects but it'd be pretty neat to be able to look back through the history of competitions since the game started, for example in the 2017/18 season, be able to go and see how the promotion playoffs went in the 2015/16 season, or who got into the Pro12 playoffs in 20XX/ Also having a graph where you can see things like your average attendance/no. of season ticket holders etc would be neat.

So pleased that you are enjoying the game, it means a lot to us here.
If you haven't already, please put up a review on Steam, it would be really appreciated.

Hi all

I play this game daily in my first season at Northampton Saints and have made some good signings and have got a very strong team but are just not winning games and low down in the league, I train well but is there other things I should do to help my team?

 

[runningrugby]

Hi Dave,
Could you help me out?
I am trying to figure out the differences in stats between a tighthead prop, a loose head prop and a hooker.
In terms of in game mechanics, should certain stats be higher or lower between them, as in, should a loosehead have higher strength stats compared to a tighthead etc?
A mini breakdown of the statistical differences between the three would be good.
Should each have three or four stats that set them apart from the other? Make sense?
Thanks in advance

Two things from me Dave

1 - have we still not got a solution to the glitch with players (usually the SH) running off with the ball from the breakdown in the opposite direction to the try line? I am currently in October and already I have lost two games that I could have won had I not lost territory and possession because my 9 ran the length of the field and out of bounds - this is the most frustrating thing in the game!!! I emailed you my save game last time you requested it, but nothing seems to have changed.

2 - for some reason this season (season 3) my players are showing in the 90s for fitness on the club screen, but at the start of the match I have selected them for they range from 45-75 for fitness (particularly forward so). I have a good pack, but last game I lost every scrum because my forwards were dead on their feet. I have only 1 physio (5 stars) is this the problem?

Hi Disco,
We are still looking at the issue you mentioned, and have done several updates that will help with this, but if you are still having a problem, please could you email us at [email protected], and we will get back to you.
In answer to your question :-
Yes more physios would help, make sure your existing physio didn't leave the club at the end of last season.
Also keeping the morale of players up increases their match energy. Thiscan be done with match inclusion, and paying bonuses
I hope this is helpful

Hey Guys,
I was wondering if you guys have any performance issues? Obviously it's likely the fact that I'm playing on a laptop that's affecting my loading screens and other issues. My loading can take up to 3 minutes and after about a year I seem to have problems even loading a save. So, I'd like to confirm that this problem's on my end, I do play on a upgrade eventually but is there any tricks to improving load times?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Dave
I'm really enjoying the game
I would really like a update
That you design your own moves to chose for a lineout or scrum
And I mean really design
And more in dept tactics
Really plan and then design them and use then in the game form a lineout or scrum
Plz I really enjoy something like that
And better in game tactics

Hi Dave

Would it be possible to give us the opportunity be able to create new teams, players, competitions and staff through the editor and also with the 2015 version when using the editor we were able to choose a calibre for players could that be put in 2017 and when we select a calibre to a player it automatically changes player attributes, eg professional and a choice with or without stars.

Thank You
