As a massive fan of the 2015 version I was eagerly awaiting this, and I was not disapointed. Nearly every facet of game has been improved from the previous version, though still rough around the edges, is a fun experience. Pros: - New match engine: This iteration is less arcady and better simulates a realistic match. - New dynamic progression system: Players now gradually increase until their peak years, then decline after peaking. Players can now change calibre also. Developing juniors is much more organic now and is an important addition. - Clubs now actively sign players from one another and free agents have been added. This creates a more immersive transfer market and makes exploiting a lot harder. - Scouting: Having to scout directly for players and staff again makes additions harder, meanign tougher decisions need to be made when allocating funds and staff actions. - Training is now much more improved also, allowing for more personalisation. - Brilliant Suport from develop...

Ok, this is my second review of this game so I hope it helps those looking to buy this game. This might be a long one but bear with me. The first review I did was very negative as there were too many injuries. By the 6th game a third of my team was injured and they were mainly anyone I put in at hooker. I was Workington Town which is a semi-pro team therefore they have very little money. I had 1.5 star facilities and 1 star doctor and physio. The attrition levels of all my players were low and most were rested when I put them in at hooker yet they still got injured playing in the number 9 position or during training. Since I put the negative review one of the developer’s, Roger, messaged to say they were working on a fix for the unrealistic injuries and especially to all being in at hooker. I don’t know whether it has been fixed but the way I got around it was to basally cheat. I used ‘cheat engine’ just to give me enough money to buy a 5 star doctor, physio and upgrade my me...
the amount of injuries is a joke, 13 games in to the season i currently have 13 players out injured & can't bring in replacements due to salary cap restrictions. if the amount of injuries was toned down the game would be brilliant but i find myself spending most my time making a complete new 17 to cope with the amount of injuries i have.
This is a great upgrade on the previous title ''Rugby League Team Manager 2015'' in the way of a much better engine which better represents a game of Rugby League, a much better & more slicker interface and a whole new way of dealing with transfers which makes the game a little more tougher than the previous release - something which was needed. The developers are very polite and committed to the game succeeding, and have quickly sorted out bugs & adjusted some inaccuracies in player stats etc. Though some bugs exist still in the game, I believe that they will soon be fixed by the RLTM team who are supremely dedicated to the game. To say that Football Manager has been worked on for over 20 years, the RLTM developers are making huge strides in a short amount of time. I hope that all Rugby League fans worldwide support this game because it truly deserves it. Would reccomend to ANY Rugby League fan who is truly passionate about the greatest game.
Great game- must have for any league fan. Very in depth and such a polished game for a non triple A developer. Show your support and get it
Poor effort in a good series of games. Been playing these games since they was a free to download back in like 2009. To say this one has taken a backwards step is an understatment. It still has the basic setup from back in the day but somehow the dev's have managed to make the menu and selections more clunky and the lack of contrasting colours makes the text hard to read sometimes. The inferface itself is quite complicated compared to the previous games, for example simply wanting to look at other clubs squads requires you to scout the club :s (why?). The training of individual players is bizare as there is no confirmation to the setting you have tried to apply... I've been retraining a players position for one whole season but the timer is still stuck at 30 days :s. The 3D gameplay its self is a nice new view but still has the exact same problems of the previous games, ball thrown 50 meters from the scrum, players stuck running in circles, lack of drop outs and in goal play, higher ...
8/10 This game has helped me get into the world of RL. Have enjoyed the game immensely. Easy enough to figure out, and customer service is tops if you run into any problems. Game had some odd bugs when I first started playing but I have not run into any of those issues recently (may have been fixed in updates).
Great resource management game. If you like RL, you will like this
Pretty addicted to the game now, got it on the off chance of mentioning "team manager" games and seeing this in steam sale and my love for RL. Shoutout the devs for an awesome game. If anyone is thinking about getting this, just do it.
Had big hopes, that the game would justify it's high price. But even though the game plays in the price range of big simulations out there (out of the park, football manager) u simply cannot compare it to them in regards of depth and realism. I started one play in the lowest league and haven't played a match for my team. Then i looked at the job market and saw that there was a club in the 2nd highest league who was looking for a new manager, i applied and immdiately got the job. then i looked on the market again and there was now also the vacancy of the best club in the highest league. i applied and also got the job. thats all but realistic. i also wanted to renew a contract of one of my players (he had 200k salary and had already the highest wage in my club next to to other players) but for a renewal he wanted to have 600k a year now. would have really liked to try the game out more, but poorly there is no demo and you have to take care not to play for too long in order of refun...
