Dear Players

Thanks for your ongoing patience. The first patch 1.13 for PRM 2015 is now live on Steam.
It is recommended that you delete your save game and restart from the beginning for all patches to work. In order to delete your save games, you need to erase the savegame located in “my documents/pro Rugby Manager 2015/Savegame”

This patch fixes the following:
  • Fixed the issue with non-working substitutions.
  • Added more accurate feedback when trying to replace a player out for yellow card or player that is temporarily on the field because of auto substitution for yellow card.
  • Fixed the incorrect points allocation in TOP 14
  • Fixed the “Tom Crux” bug. Opening a scouted youth player will not open the "Tom Crux" sheet anymore.
  • A Red card still has a very low chance to ban a player for a long time but the maximum duration is reduce from 100 to 50. (Will not work for old saved game)
  • Reduction in the frequency of training injuries (Will not work for old saved game)
  • Reduction in random injuries for accidents away from the pitch (Will not work for old saved game)
  • Reduction in the chances of player illness (Will not work for old saved game)

  • Increase minimal age for retiring from 30 to 32.
  • Fix crash when offering a contract to a South African's free agent player.
  • Fix a bug that can slow the game application after matches
  • It is now possible to manually remove from the roster a player who received a red card in the last played match without being forced to use the "automatic" command.
  • Fixed some cases where some "not in the game" players could appear on research results with placeholder name.
  • Maximum infrastructure level will no longer reduce the chance that a player sign a contract for your team

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.

in summary: real disapointment, just a poor re hash of the older game that is not only 9 years but massivly behind it football eqivelent.


i love rugby and wanted this to be good. its limited, not accurate at all (for the benefit of those who understadn rugby....haymen isnt that good a scrumager and danny care nocks over pens from the half way line when evans is on the pitch....)

literally no up date from the older games!!!! the last came out nine years ago......

no consideration to salary caps!

no influance on actual training off the team and how u want to play just select the position they play and hope by some kind of miricle they improve

the ratings of players is just all round wrong, Glen dickson for saints is a four star player......where as luther burrell and samu manua are three star.....(for those who that doesnt mean anything to Burrel was scoring trys for england in the six nations, Manua is regared as one of the great 8s around and glen dickson has played a handfull of games in two season and is in no ones eyes on the same standard) to make it even more comparable danny ciprini is also a four star player Its just completly wrong!


you literally do nothing in the game, such a limited game in what you can influance.

the contract and transfer aspect does not reflect reality!

full of bugs.......I went to change a prop after 60mins and it would not let me claiming the player had aleady been on the pitch.


This is possible the worst game available on steam! I love rugby, I'm a massive fan of management games.... and this is simply a bad game its about 10 years out of date yet it came out today

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 gameplay, game doesn't end after 40/80 minutes, terrible bugs etc...

So disappointed, been looking forward to this for ages. Why can't companies make decent rugby games? I know money and funds can be an issue, but that is no excuse for releasing a terribly buggy and TOTALLY incomplete piece of garbage. I just don't understand how this game has been allowed to release in this state?

Will do everything I can to try and get a refund and let the developers know that they have done a bad job.

This needs SERIOUS patching and VERY soon.

Don't waste your money.

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 development.

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 40/80 minutes dead, the defending team having to stand back 5 metres from scrums and not being able to kick the ball out directly if it's been passed back into the 22.

In addition to some of the game breaking bugs mentioned in other reviews, other ones i've found are:
- Points not being calculated correctly in the league table (how hard is that?)
- No European rugby after the first season playing as an Irish province
- Substitutions often not working when viewing a match

All in all I'm slightly gutted by this, I was looking forward to this, but almost no effort whasoever appears to have gone into it. Some of the player ratings are also a complete joke (Andy Goode has 5 stars and Brian Habana has 3?!?!) and it really does leave you wondering if anyone on the development team actually watches any rugby.

Seriously, steam needs to pull their finger out their **** this game should not have seen the light of day. just been SCAMMED of my money. Basically the same database as 2005, just an updated roster, you have to have the memory of a mensa student as uyou have to remember ALL the damn stats, the 3D engine seems buggy. some of the option for losing a game are beyond belief, quotes i would have come up with in a school playground.
I will NEVER purchase ANYTHING with CYANIDE or 505 games in the future.

DO NOT PURCHASE THIS GAME.

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 year ago that this would be an amazing game if they went and remade it with modern technology and an updated database.

PRM 2015 is not it. They even removed the unlicenced fake players and teams...

I really support you guys Cyanide. I LOVE Blood Bowl, and PRM 2005 filled a gap for Rugby fans. But this is the most blatant attempt at a quick buck I've ever seen... Please either turn this game around or have some honour and pull the game.

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. Turns out you can only chose tactics when you're on the pitch which is a piss take. Overall if the developers had an incling of respect for rugby they would take the game down and do some major refurbishment before considering releasing it to the ever growing, ever angry rugby/gaming community.

Well. Like others reviewing this game, I have been waiting a long time for an update to the Pro Rugby Manager series.

Unfortunately, this isn't the game that we all hoped it would be.

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 features a red or yellow card, sometimes four in one match.

2.) The player ratings are wide of the mark, as well as some players being assigned to positions they don't play - Leigh Halfpenny is a fly-half apparently.

3.) Club Chairman assign you a budget for improvements and transfers that doesn't exist, so if you spend to this budget, you will be fired at the end of the season.

4.) Hiring the best staff and upgrading all the facilities doesn't have much influence on the game, especially if you're playing away and want an instant result (simulation.) In some matches you will need to take control via quick 2D match and force your team to finally win by making them follow tactics manually - and this sometimes takes several attempts.

5.) Substitutions don't appear to work.

Some will know that Cyanide tried to crowd-fund this game last year, but the attempt failed. So I was a little surprised when I stumbled across the virtually whispered promotional material for this game. Now we know the result of this funding failure...... you are buying a new database (which doesn't come with an editor yet.) for a dated game.

I can't recommend this game, though I will persevere with it until patches are issued.

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.

This is the worst game I have ever played. I have seen better graphics on a playstation 1. You have minimum control over training. The player scores are horrendously wrong. They have some international players playing in the wrong position. You get no control over tactics. Dont have any control over the game. It is very very basic and needs a lot of patching and work to be worth the money. There are fantastic sports manager games out there. This is not one of them. The transfer market is also a joke. Save your money and do not buy this. If the game gets better and fixed I will write a positive review. For now this game seems to be 10 years old and very very basic. They trailers etc were promising but the game has flopped and is a complete disgrace. I want a refund!

Flee!!!! This is single handedly thw biggest waste of money I have ever paid for a game. 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. Incorrect positions and missing players all over the show.

Shoddy. Rushed. Offensively against trading standards!!!

Don't make the same abysmal mistake I did.
