    I've been waiting for 10 years, and i just bought a database update and a nicer user inteface. Seems like i'm SLIGHTLY angry. Definitely not worth buying, nothing new since 2005. Even the after-match interview content is exactly the same. A perfect copy of Pro Rugby Manager 2005. Too bad we're not in 2005 anymore, and players like me remember good ol' times. I want a refund.

    Ridiculously inaccurate database. Francois Louw for instanc, is rated 2 stars whereas Henry Thomas is four-star rated. I am a Bath fan and have nothing against Henry, but Louw has been one of the standout players in the World over the past 3 seasons. Cyanide need to develop a database editor or if someone relatively PC literate could have a go it would be awesome. There are also a complete lack of tactical options. Team defends narrowly andthe AI doesn't respond to that either.

    How they could have still got this wrong with the amount of time they have taken is beyond me, including the fact that they had an extremely good manager game in Football Manager to aspire to. Where do I start? Outdated UI, substitutions don't work, no real control over training or even the match itself, no explanation of what is going on, incorrect player positions and statistics, scrum half won't pass the ball until the defence is readily in position, no offloads, no real depth to the…

    I would genuinely by quite interested to know how much time was clocked by cyanide developers on this project. It seems to me they've just taken a ten year old game, updated the player database (which is often spectacularly wrong aside from the players names) and added some game breaking bugs. The music is exactly the same as PRM2, the game viewed (2D and 3D) seems to be exactly the same as previously, with none of the rule changes over the last decade like time being stopped and playing to…

    I purchased this game quite some time ago now, with high expectations as I was a big fan of the PRM2005 game... to say I was deflated and let down would be an understatement. I try not to leave negative reviews in the "heat of the moment" so I went away and pondered... here I am many many months later and I feel I simply must post. It is absolutely disgraceful and I feel I have a right as a consumer to be outraged by the fact that this game was promoted and advertised as being fresh and new -…

    Bought the game yesterday and I'm incredibly disappointed. It is ludicrously bad. You feel like anything you do doesn't make a blind bit of difference tactically, substitutions don't work, difficult to navigate, no real goals, etc.. Please don't waste your money like me!

    A significant downgrade from Pro Rugby Manager 2. Less leagues, less player database and not even any International teams playable. I was pretty hyped when I bought it but now the joy of playing of it has been majorly dented. The only positive I can give is that it has a nicely presented interface but that doesn't recuperate on the fact they released a game which hasn't even been altered much from its' predecessor. Wished they never of released it if I knew they were being lazy with the…

    A lot of people say that it's crap, but then they must be kidding. I'm a real addict to the sport itself, can't play it because of multiple injuries, but still I do love it. I know all of the therms, all of the rules and most of the players from different countries. Yes, maybe it's a bit vague at first what you have to do and to figure out who playes which positions, but after that (took me about thirty minutes) it is really fun. I will recommend it to every fan of rugby or any…

    If you paid full whack for this game I understand your disapointment. For me personally though, paid just over £1 for this game so can really complain much. It's basically just copy and paste from pro rugby manager 2 which was by no means perfect back in the day but I enjoy this. Yes it's miles (or even galaxies) away from the more polished management games but for just over £1 it makes me smile.

    This is a re-release of the pro rugby manager 2005 game with some stuff removed, a little bit of a database update, some poor changes to the menus and 2015 slapped on the front. PRM 2005 was a good game in 2005 however had a lot of problems that are much less forgivable these days. As a simulation of rugby it leaves quite a lot to be desired. It would be more appropriate as an under 8's Rugby manager 2015. I think that this could have been done very well, they could have removed the 3d mode…

    I'm going to be nice. I desperately want rugby games on the market, and the way to manage that is not to pan every arrival. Yes it has flaws, but football management games have been around 20+ years, and i reckon if we compare this to their early attempts, it probably reflects very favourably. I applaud the match engine and graphics, this was over and above what I was expecting. I can completely overlook graphical anomalies in this, such as the rucking. It's a representation, not a completely…

    DON'T BUY THIS GAME I am bitterly dissapointed with this title, as I was desperate for a decent rugby game. Turns out its just another money grabber. The substitions don't work, the players have all the wrong stats (sometimes even the wrong postions) and overall it feels like I rushed game, trying to piggyback on the hype of next years Rugby World Cup. The trailer is also misleading as it makes it look like a team is fully customizable, with many different tactic options and training schedules.…

    This game is Pro Rugby Manager 2005 with the second zero changed to a 1... That's the biggest difference. I'm fairly sure this is the exact same core engine, exact same soundtrack, exact same dialogue and notifications, this is the old game. The only change is basically the out-of-match GUI. The old game was great, I loved it. I didn't mind that it was old, and I didn't mind playing Super 15 with unlicenced players or teams. The concept was very good, and anyone who enjoyed it still said a…

    I wanted this game to be a big improvement on Pro Rugby Manager 1 & 2 but unfortunately its a big step backwards. Is it worth £7 then yes maybe for first timers but to those that remember 1 & 2 I would be happy to part with £20-£30 if it was brilliant. For a world cup year this a huge disapointment and wasted oppotunity. Wake up we need a fantastic Rugby sim equal if not better to what football is offering.

But there is potential if it gets patched right and the database is re done - Francois Low ..... 2 stars and George ford at 21 at full potential DON'T BUY until they have patched, if it gets patched right, then it could be a half decent update on 2005

    As others have said, this is a complete rip off and should never have seen the light of day. Seems to be a re-skinned version of the game from a decade ago, with some of the functionality taken out. The is no depth to it at all and I can't believe they weren't aware of the game breaking bugs on release day. Steam needs to take action to protect consumers from scams like this.

The level of impact you have on a game is minimal, the information you get during a game is negligible, the whistle will blow and you won't have a clue what for.

    The worst management game I have ever played. You have no control over the match once it has kicked off and player ratings/positions are way off. They patched some things but you still can't change the kicker during a match and the players do not perform any set moves you instruct them to do. Many, many, many more problems but I do not have the time go into. DO NOT BUY.

    Terrible, I want to support rugby games but supporting this is just encouraging them not to try. Rule changes since 2005 haven't been updated, ridiculous player transfers (Dan Carter to Harlequins for example) are incredibly simple and the database is laughable. I wanted this to be good so well, but they haven't even tried.

In essence, it is merely PRM 2005 with an updated database and a revamped interface. It is the same game; even the silly quotes that you provide to the post-match media are exactly as they were 10 years ago. From playing it myself for a few hours, I have discovered a few glitches; 1.) Almost every match…

    Stats for players are very poor, and that's not for just lower players. The English Premiership Champions' player stats were very wrong. Plenty of bugs all over the place. Subsitutions seem to randomly work or ignore. If a match is simulated I had auto subs swapping props for backs. Kicking has one stat for all players. Does not vary from place kicking to kicking from hand. Therefore it seems the scrum halves of teams are better place kickers than the 10s, when this isn't the case in real…

Not only is the squad list wrong, the player stats are also poor.

    A few of the game's aspects have real potential, like the the game engine itself for example. It looks good and does the job. However, the rest of the game is hugely let down by lack of information across its muddled menus and during game play.
