Rugby 25 puts you in control of club and national sides in rugby union matches, with a selection of teams, competitions, and stadiums. Play one-off exhibitions or tournaments, alone or against others.
On the field, move the ball through passes and offloads, tackle opponents, and compete for possession in rucks, scrums, and lineouts. Matches also support local and online multiplayer.
Career Mode has you lead a club or national side, train players, and plan strategies. The Academy lets you create players and teams, customize jerseys, and design a stadium.
Reviews are divided: some players enjoy the licensed teams and competitions, customization, presentation, and the fun of scoring or playing casually with friends. Others find the on-field systems frustrating or unreliable, especially tackling, rucks, and tutorials; even positive reviews often note that the game needs refinement.
