National Rugby Manager

Grabbed this old game because I was bored and wanted to play a rugby manager game. On the first look I was like "meh... I don't think I keep playing that game" and closed it because it looked very boring and shallow. But I gave it a second try and I somehow liked it. It's actually not too bad and the graphics are way better than in RUTM3 / RLTM3 which honestly suck. Okay, the KI is dumb as ♥♥♥♥ sometimes but it's still an okay game what's fun to play though so thumb up.

It's a game with huge potential, but sadly let down by the extremely unfriendly user interface, it's just such a pain trying to navigate your way around the different sections. The wait between games was painfully slow while databases are being updated, transfers being generated etc., then along came the update and now it's gone from painfully slow to a complete standstill. I gave up on this game after waiting for 20 minutes between selecting my team and waiting for the game to start. So frustrating it's not worth it. Maybe it's better on a higher spec PC, but i'm playing on a laptop which does meet the minimum system requirements and it's just not up to the job.

Les menus sont horrible, c'est vraiment chiant de parcourir les différents menus du jeu. Aucun dynamisme durant les simulation de match en 3D, des joueurs avec "un balai dans le c..", des fautes sifflées mais on ne sait pas pourquoi parce que rien ne l'explique. Et les remplacements pareil ils s'effectuent mais sans que quoique ce soit ne le dise. Aucune idée de la fatigue des joueurs durant les match. Bref très déçu de ce jeu

Not a bad rugby sim. If they grow this and make it deeper and get licencing, this wi then the base for a great game. It is the best out there at the moment.

very good

Amazing game engine and rich rugby team managing experience. Some minor improvements needed to get the perfect rugby game (regarding the penalty rules when in overtime and also regarding substitutions). Tactics could be improved also, but are already more than enough to have fun. Magnificent experience anyways, I heartily recommend this game.

Best 3D match graphics for a rugby management game.

There might be tactics involved in this game, who knows. I'm yet to find a half who is capable of passing or catching the ball instead of passing into space or knocking on and immediately gifting the opposition a try.

jeu mal fait....nombreux bugs....image qui se fixe....pourquoi ne pas reprendre pro rugby manager de 2003 qui est beaucoup plus jouable...impossible de sauvegarder comme on veut pour recommencer u,match par ex

Game is really bad. I bought the game as well as the DLC for Southern Hemisphere Rugby. When I load up a season with the Southern Hemisphere DLC the teams don't have proper logos or names. I don't recognise anyone in my home town of the Brumbies (the team is called Canberra). I thought it must be the same with the French league version but when I loaded that up they had all the official team logos and had high resolution colour photos for all the players. Why did I pay money for the Southern Hemispheres Rugby DLC when they give me nothing? It sounds like a scam to me. The game has no manual which is another indicator of it level of sophistication. On the title screen it has a FAQ PDF that you can download...... which doesn't download properly. I thought maybe the whole no logos or player photos could just be rectified with a workshop mod or link to a website with downloads to bypass trademark issues........ there is none. I would of been ok with the lack of names and logos if there was an easy download fix but there seems to be none. I briefly looked at the game play and it looks pretty cool but I couldn't do much other than watch. I couldn't be bothered figuring out to play the game side of things. I am asking for a refund for this, really disappointed.
