Rugby 18 (2017)

Rugby 18 fails as a sports simulation more spectacularly than any other entry on this list. Eko Software delivered a game where players skate across pitches as if on ice, passes phase through bodies, and rucks become a nauseating pile of ragdoll physics. With a Metacritic score of just 38, it ranks 25% lower than even Rugby 15. The glitches are so pervasive that a single match averages 12 uncalled forward passes. Worse than the average rugby game, #9's handling feels broken, making it the laggiest in the category.
