Rugby Union Team Manager 3

This game is such a roberry. Some ideas why: - If you want to have a decent screen resolution, you must play the game windowed. Yes. The maximum resolution is 1300x700 or near that. If you play it full screen, better launch PRM2005. - The game design is terrible. Can't the designers just inspire from all sport games we have ? It seems that FM 2001 is better in term of design. - The licences #1. The game is launched in august 2020. You can play with 2019 squads. Logic. - The licences #2. You have literally no licence. Team's logos are powerpoint made. You can play with Marseille in French League 2. Last time we saw Marseille in 2nd division was during the 90's. - The licences #3. Augustino Dupoad ? Yes, it's Antoine Dupont's name. - Last but not least, you must pay 5 euros more for a DLC which allows you to dl some DB to be used in game. Conclusion : I asked for refound after 12 minutes.

My recommendation actually has a lot of "but"s in it. First of all, I do want to support the dev team and I do appreciate the great work by the community as well. I have to appreciate the fact that such a game exists, it is quite detailed and it is clear that they have put a lot of work in it, in spite of the fact that the player base (I mean us, the gamers) is clearly smaller than for football. But... there are many things that left to be desired. For example, my main complaint is about the tactics. Most matches I just sit and watch, since the tactical options are very limited, not much to change that would have a big impact on changing the course of the match. While I don't know much about rugby IRL, I highly doubt that those are the only tactics managers have at their disposal. ---------------------------------------- EDIT: I've searched closer and THERE ARE ways of affecting the tactics. Selecting "Ad Lib" instead of "Structured" for attacking and/or defending tactics, you are presented with a screen where you can choose from 5 forwards moves and 4 backs moves. They are coded A...E (A...D respectively) and you can see what they mean by holding the right click on their squares. This improves my opinion on the game, although I still find the approach to tactics quite limited and cumbersome. ---------------------------------------- Then: there's no interaction with the press and with the players individually, other than sending them to individual training session. You can't actually see the chemistry in the locker room and on the pitch, you can't see if and why you are liked or despised. There's some reputation indicator and some emails from the GM adjusting their support to your results, but not more than that. Also, during a match, I hardly see any kicks from my team or the opposition and the lineouts... well... let's just quote Nigel Owens here: he's straighter than 90% of the throws and still there are no penalties. Overall, it's a great *start* of a game development, but there is not very much to do so that you actually feel engaged or make any difference for your team. Many things are just automatic, outside of your control. But again, it feels like there is a will and there's definitely a way to make the game better. I'm rooting for it.

if when your going to play a match, the match can be playable like "rugby champions" it would be the best current rugby game. It would be a really simple, but GREAT! game.

seul point négatif il n y a pas de licences sinon le reste c est top

Not too bad, I actually like it. But the tactics are badder than in the old game "pro rugby manager", they're weird here. The graphics suck monkey ♥♥♥♥♥ though.

I loved the first RUTM that came out. What a great game that was. The second iteration, RUTM 2017 took some steps back from the first version. Not a problem I thought, I will just continue playing the first version, with much enjoyment. This version, RUTM3, has taken more steps backward. I tried to play it again today but just can't get into it. The search function (for players, staff etc) is tedious; there is no ability to filter on key attributes. This was a feature in the first version; why has it been removed? How difficult would it be to include this feature again? Not very I suspect. Secondly, perhaps the developers could allow a user to design their own dashboard of key attributes that they find useful. Having to swap between general info, physical, mental and technical attributes every time you want to understand a players skillset is massively clunky. And why is it so slow to load / flip between menu's / search for players or staff? Again, clunky. There is also a sense of information overload. Could be because I haven't really been able to get into the game with any consistency. Which is a shame because I really love the concept - I am a big rugby union fan - and I would love for this to work. But at the moment it doesn't. If you also love RU then I can recommend the first RUTM that came out (I think it was in 2015) but not this one.
