Dear all,

Mavericks / Legendary Seb here. I'm in discussions with the developer about the most recent game changes that have occurred following the latest increase in building levels. They have asked me to set up a post to collect further feedback.

The purpose of this post is to enable us to have input to the developer and facilitate feedback on the game play to hopefully support the team improving the game again. I would ask that we keep the chat friendly and not aggressive or abusive... This is a mechanism to try and help us all and not vent about the development team.

As a starting point my observation is the players seem to have regressed and cannot throw accurate passes, the scrum half doesn't pass to the fly half from Scrums, and it seems impossible to structure a game play to score trys. It's almost as if the strat building input to player ability has stopped completely as the level of towers has no effect unlike previous steps.

Please feel free to add in observations and I will continue discussing further with the development team

It's frustrating to play atm Rick. At this point I'd think most would be happier having the game revert back to It's previous state and just accept the SN tries. At least you were able to score some of those as well as have them scored against you so it seemed to even out. To be completely honest though, I think the old faster format was the best as at least the scores of games reflected scores you'd likely see in real rugby...but they had to do something about the pace because the player with the ball was running twice as fast as the ball could be kicked lol. I had a screen recording of an old game from level 145 and I could hardly keep up when I watched it back recently. Maybe just reset the game engine back to day one where it was fast, but not lightning fast? Back then you could come from well behind and still win if you could work out your opponents spacings. These days it's too reliant on winning penalties. I'm not sure how many paying customers will continue in the current format

I have loved playing this game for over 10 years, however, recently I have thought more and more about finally retiring. The game has become slow and boring. Trys are almost impossible to come by so everyone just lowers their ruck and scrum and just hopes they've guessed better than their opponent especially if offline. Yes, it is now, all about who wins the most kickable penalties in their opponents half. The scores In most games can be divided by 3. We are losing players hand over fist, either to retirement or non visa. Come on developers get the game looking like Rugby again or soon you will have no paying customers left and the game will cease to exist.

I agree with the idea to revert back. The game started going to pot when the star ratings got ridiculous.
Drop the starting star rating back to 6 and the maximum back to about 100. Dig out the game engines from about year 2 of the game. All the existing players would need players dropping star ratios in proportion.
It feels like the game just can't cope with players stats going as high as they are now.
