GO Rugby Manager 4+

I love this game and think that it is great. Honestly always wanted a Rugby Manager as there is already F1 Manager & Football Manager. I love taking control of my favourite team (Harlequins) and it is a great game.

If there were any negatives to pick out, it would be that players that play for a teams Starting XI or Bench are incredibly expensive to sign. Also, it is annoying that you have to pay for the full match but I understand as you have to make profit. This however makes the tactics pretty useless if you don’t have the full version. Also, I think that scouting is a pretty useless feature as I can’t ever seem to get anyone even worthy to go on the bench. A final thing is that players fitness decreases so much, which is weird because for an English team, they only have to play 18-25 games a season and so they should be well rested.

I’m only picking on the negatives though so keep up the good work and I can’t wait to see how this game progresses.

I’m a big football manager fan and been waiting for a rugby version to come out so was very excited to see this game. I tried the free version a bit to see what it is like with not much gameplay involved. Scouting doesn’t prove different results and you can’t work out if you are getting anyone special with any potential. The games were very basic, not much excitement so I purchased the paid version. Where the gameplay is confusing. You move backwards when you are attacking, kickoffs are weird, with some being correct (receiving after scoring points) and some not (kicking off after scoring). I actually feel like this made the gameplay more frustrating. When you simmed the games your players all receive 5 if you lose or 7 if you win. There’s no variation.

All that said. There is a load of potential to get it right and have an amazing game. The things I love about football manager is the training of players, scouting and finding the future players (academies etc), team building which seems like a strength of this game having real players with fairly accurate skill level. I would love to see scouting improved. Add in an attribute for player potential to see if you should actually sign them or not. Then a bit for training players to improve them.

I hope in the future it is a great game that takes up all my time which football manager currently does 😂😀

I got addicted to this game really quickly however there is a few things that need fixing. A couple of times I have been caught out by not having available players to make a full team . You should be able to put any players on the bench. I had a full team with plenty of players however I had 2 players go injured and I couldn’t replace them on the bench and it pretty much stops you from going any further . You should also get money for winning the leagues and it was annoying seeing i didn’t after I won .
