Gameplay
Gameplay
It is possible to play an individual match with up to four local controllers, play in any of the licensed competitions or a custom created competition. The game does not feature a player and team customization mode or a career mode. No online mode existed in the game as the developers wanted to focus on the basics of the game to improve for future editions. The weather would play a large part in gameplay with the wind affecting the projection of the ball and rain causing the pitch to deform and players to get muddy.

Reception
Rugby 15 received "generally unfavorable" reviews, according to review aggregator Metacritic. GamesRadar+ was critical of the game, rating it 1/5, and wrote: "Rugby 15 isn’t just a disappointment; it’s significantly worse than its forebears. The simple stuff is over-complicated, and the basic tenets of Rugby Union are wrong. A nightmare vision of sporting hell." IGN was also critical of the game and rated it 2/10, writing: "it rarely felt as though skill or tactics played into scoring tries."
