Yeah I own both game RLL3 and RC3 and both are fun in their own ways.

I feel like union is a tough sport to recreate in a videogame.

Wicked witch basically bought the RC2 engine from sidhe and added some more stuff.

I wish the sliders were broken out for user and AI. I wish you could search player names when you are adding players in the team edit section.

I need to figure out what I am doing wrong in rucks though, I posted on the rugby forum for help.

You have the circular meter when a ruck starts to form. Wtf does it mean???

It will fill up towards the top or deplete towards the bottom. But in either instance the AI will contest and steal the ball. It feels completely out of my control.

I quick bind if out on the edge and heavy bind in towards the middle with forwards closer. Nothing makes the ball cycle out faster.

Also I asked over there if wiggling the RS moved the ball out quicker but a guy said no. I swear it does sort of, or maybe I just want to think it does, either way, I hate the AI contests feeling random. My only real gripe with the game.

Any chance that anyone is still playing this? I fired it back up to play with some updated Six Nations rosters, messed around with sliders and tactics, put it on the hardest difficulty with 40-minute games and I've really been enjoying it. Still playing around with the sliders, but it's definitely scratching my union video game itch for the moment.

I've pondered grabbing Rugby 18, but even with the latest update, it seems it might have too many issues.

I still play it, but I am really hoping a Rugby Challenge 4 is in development, or a rugby union game from someone new.

I have found a way to have more input in the ruck, by pressing X (or square on PS4) to contest the ball. I have found it can be pressed a lot, even when the ref tells you to let go and there is a big risk/reward where some of the time I can get the opponent called for a not releasing the ball (holding on) and sometimes I get called for hands in the ruck. On some rucks though I just balance a quick bind or heavy bind, I don't think it matters whether the ball is toward the forwards or not. You also may want to increase the "ruck tackle bonus slider". It should help you maintain the ball for more phases.

Still playing here also, got the itch again with Super Rugby starting. This is the best union game out there right now. It's also been nice to see a price drop in the last few months. I agree with you in hoping RC4 is being worked on now.

I was so excited last week when I got the AI called for holding on. I'll have to keep contesting more and more in hopes to get more penalties, even if it's against me.
