Hi Derek,

We will look to add the ability to add photos for non-licensed players, in an update later this week.
Regarding licensed players this would cause issues with licensors.

I hope this is helpful.

Hi Derek,
Sorry but we have found that by creating an new option to add photos for non licensed players, could cause a lot of problems with overwriting any mods back to the originals
We will though look at this again in the New Year.

Hi Dave/anyone,

How do I retrain someone's position? Say I have a 10 who primary and secondary is 10 but inside centre is a re-trainable position how do I do this? Does the coach doing the training need to be a specialist inside centre?

Dave, early days I know, but I thought I would ask a question. Is there the possibility of increasing the league tier in England on the horizon for you guys? I was thinking down to tier 5 which would include the National League Midlands. My local team Derby play in that league.

I would like to say, however, the game is great so a big thanks for that. Also to Derek for the great mods which enhance it even more.

I'm sure the older games (2015) went down to this level as I recall seeing the league just above the one of my own team Brentwood

Hi can anyone confirm that in the Saracens Academy or Colt there is a player called James Elms. If he's not could the same be done at Northampton for a player call Sam Cappart?
Much appreciated and have a good one!

Hi Dave, really like the game so far but two questions. Is there a reason my team never competes in the line-out? And also when I pick my team it says most players' fitness is over 90, but then when I pick them in the game they go straight down to around 60. Any way to fix this? Thanks

2015 only went down 4 tiers, the same as now on 2017

Hi Aled
1) Your team will be competing mathematically, if you turnover the lineout the ball will be tipped back to your scrum half.

2) You'll be entering the match with Attrition from the previous match. Hire quality Physios and make sure they are assigned
to players, especially older players who have a reduced recovery rate, and especially forwards who make more impacts in match.

Really pleased that you are enjoying the game.
If you haven't already please put up a review on Steam, it all helps.

Thanks for the reply, I'll be sure to leave a review. A couple more problems: for the Welsh teams there are two games on the same weekend (one pro 12 game and another in the Anglo-Welsh Cup), there's a week without a match the next week so maybe it would be easy to move the LV ones? And it's also a bit disappointing that the Welsh leagues haven't been updated since the last game

Hi Dave,

Recieved the game for Christmas and absolutely loving it so far. I don't know whether I'm being just completely stupid when it comes to this but it's worth the ask..

For transfers and buying players to join my club, is there a certain time I can only do this? Like a transfer window? If not how do I place a bid/purchase a player.

Cheers, Matt

Thanks very much. Got the game and enjoying it. Got the files downloaded but not sure what to do with them. Are there new instructions somewhere in the Forum?

I needed help in the old one as well, so apologies.

Hi you need to go to windows (c), program files (x86), steam, steamapps, common, rugby union team manager 2017, external then rutm2017 clubs or rutm2017 competitions (depends what you are doing) then the number before the image name you have downloaded is the file name you want in rutm2017 clubs. move them into the file and then delete the number from the image name leaving Badge or Badge_small.

How do I build up players' fitness when they return from injury? I already have 3 physios and they don't seem to be helping

Hill running - works a treat. Go to the individual training tab within training.

Sometimes it still takes a couple of weeks. I like this though, as sometimes in real life, players take a while to get back to their best after a lay off

Hi Matt,

You will find page 21 of the game's manual helpful with this.
The manual is accessed via the game's startup screen.

Really happy to hear that you are enjoying the game, please put up a review on Steam if you haven't already, it all helps.

Hi Dave
I was wondering if a update to allow dorp goal and goal kicking from a longer distance could be possible and when choosing international teams to group players by position

 

[Paddym]

Hi Dave. Good game, really enjoying it, in parts.
As the previous poster wrote, being able to group players by position for international selection is a must, otherwise it is very long and tedious.
On the 1st team menu the stats doesn't work properly, I have 35 plus players in my squad but only 2 have an average rating, one player on 35 and one on 10, the rest are all on zero despite playing several games. Appearances are skewed as it only tells you how many games a player started and not his sub appearances unless you click into the player. One other thing I noticed is that nearly every game my No 8 is man of the match, whoever I pick there. Cheers, looking forward to new update.
