Pro Rugby Manager 2015

avoid

Pro Rugby Manager 2015 takes the less common route of putting rugby fans in charge of an entire professional organization rather than giving them direct control of players on the field. Developed by Cyanide and published by 505 Games, it combines squad management, finances, training, recruitment, facilities, staffing, and tactical planning into a single management simulation. Its greatest appeal comes from the opportunity to approach rugby from the perspective of a manager who must consider both immediate results and the long-term stability of the club. Authenticity is strengthened by the inclusion of 54 officially represented teams from several prominent rugby competitions. Managing recognizable clubs gives career campaigns a stronger connection to the professional sport, while differences between squads encourage different approaches. Taking control of a strong organization can create immediate expectations of trophies, whereas managing a weaker side turns progression into a longer project involving careful recruitment, financial discipline, and gradual improvements to the squad. The management system covers considerably more than simply selecting a starting lineup. Contracts, …

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. I mean, not being able to see which of your players is currently on the ball seems a pretty silly omission. Fortunately I picked this up for 69 pence and have had that amount of fun from it, but it just isn't up to scratch. With a few simple tweaks and additions this could have been the rugby version of Football Manager that so many crave. Someone needs to add to the bare bones of this flop and make a real gem.

This is a poor game has no refelction of real life the transfer market is absurd and there are so many errors in player data- fraiser Balmain of liecester is a lock???!!!!!? you can have no influence on tactics or the way your team plays I feel ripped off do not buy

It's no wonder this game has been on for sale for real cheap as many times as it's been over the years. The music is actually pretty dope, but the rest of the game definitely leaves something to be desired. I mean, I knew what I was getting into, but I guess I had a little hope that I could look past the negative reviews, try something new in a genre I don't really bother with, but alas, I find myself quietly uninstalling and filing it away as a DNF. I think that one review that says they picked the people with the most baller names and won a match says it all, really. This won't appeal to hardcore rugby fans, nor those who might just be wanting to dip their toes into the sport, and that's too bad. There is definitely something salvageable here, but due to the fact this game came out so long ago, and the fact that both the devs and community have abandoned the title, I can't recommend it - you'd be better off finding a newer title.

I love PRM 2005 but PRM 2015 is so poor...very disappointing
