Gameplay Mechanics and Rule Violations

reviews
“20m restarts are 6 tackle sets not 7, if the ball is dislodged by one team then another, the first knock on doesn’t count”
“How is this rugby? — It shouldn’t be called rugby if it doesn’t follow the games rules”
“Knock ons aren’t always picked up”
Poor Game Balance and Monetization
Users feel the game's monetization model is exploitative, with excessive costs for basic features like energy, healing, and packs, and no meaningful free alternatives.

“Pay to play — Not one thought has gone into anything priced in the game. Nobody is watching an ad for 2 gold when everything is at least 100/1000 gold”
“constant energy needs purchasing as well as healing and packs are obsce”
“Priorities wrong — If they had only spent the same amount of time on developing the gameplay as they had on building the screens where I open packs and trying to make me make a purchase through in app purchases”
