Rugby Manager 25

I enjoy the experience of playing this game, but needs just a bit more to make the game excellent and worth the splurge. A few notes: - I just got through my first season and started selling my players in the new transfer window. I sold one of my scrum halfs leaving me with just 1 scrum half remains on my squad. I am also trying to buy a scrum half but when I’m waiting for an acceptance for my bid (3-5 week wait period). I’m now stuck at preseason friendly 1 because I cannot fill 1 slot on the bench (since it requires it to be a scrum half) please take a look at the bench issues and allow another player to fill a spot regardless of position. This ruined a save file since I could not progress from this issue. -I think another solution to this issue above: is allow for an instant player addition/buy to fulfill the squad bench that has to be full. Or if you have a concering number of players in a specific role that might cause an issue with the bench lineup numbers, when you start a new season, allow an academy graduate player that fills in a space on the squad to be automatically added so you have depth to avoid the situation Or Just always allow for you to choose from a list of academy prospects whenever you please and fill in the empty slots when needed. - I think you should include a squad 1 and squad 2 save for squad selection part, so you do not have to constantly manually select the players for lineup. The auto-fill feature still makes mistakes with player-selection, and this would be a simple fix and time saving. - Make the game more user friendly on iPad because some features are either cut off or not shown at all. (I.e When there’s an alert pop up warning for player contracts that expire if you press continue to next season, there is an okay button that completely covers the text box you need to read. Or the button feature to select release contract for your players, you can still tap to hit the release button, but it is hidden from view and have to touch a specific area). - As mentioned earlier, when the season is about to end, I would like to renew a contract to keep my players that did well, but the feature to resign a players contract is not possible because it doesn’t work when the transfer window isn’t open. Shouldn’t you be able to resign a player you liked that year? I ended up losing players when loading the next season since I could not resign a contract before progressing. Those players ended up on a random team for me to have to buy back if I choose. - It would be easier to search players if you allow for more filters to search for players you’re looking for specifically. I.e. Give additional filters for searches like age, nation of origin of player, a players stat number that you are specifically needing to be what you need. These are suggestions but definitely fix the bench system issue because that ruined it for me where I cannot progress. Hope this review helps a bit and you make money from this game by continuing the development. Small things added to this game like I mentioned above would make it worthwhile to splurge on the paid features for this game. I would have paid, but these issues discouraged me until it’s solid.

Massive credit to the developers here. Not perfect but very well done. Purchased full game for the 2024 game and again for this one. Lots of potential to get even better but very good.
