Rugby 2005 to Use Fifa Engine

Electronic Arts has told Gameplanet its next Rugby title will be developed using internal resources at EA Canada including the Fifa game engine. The NZ Maori team will be involved in motion capture during their upcoming North American tour.

Rugby 2005 is due for release next March. HB Studios, developer of previous versions, will remain involved in development and management of the project. Issues of IP ownership at EA prevented the use of existing technology for previous games, but HB Studios told Gameplanet last year it was working toward an ownership status that would allow it access to EA's internal resources for future titles.

HB Studios is also the developer of the EA Sports Cricket franchise[/b]

Interesting that they are using the NZ Maori team for motion capture, hopefully they can turn out a better game than last time, not that it would be hard

Hopefully EA can get it together and produce something competitive.
I imagine it will be quite a bit more of a simulation than WCR.

Some ideas I had on Rugby Forum.tk [edited for "special" people] for Rugby 2005[/edit]...

I would like to use the right analog for kicking. Up punt/grubber if you let the metre go down. Down up and under. Click in+up for drop kick.

Also use d-pad for 'on-the-fly' strategies.

Could have real depth this way.

Adding to the reasoning of that idea: That would give you 8 buttons to use for ball in hand (other than direction). 8. Fend, dummy, jump, sidestep...

Hmm.

L1/R1 - pass left/right
L2/R2 - sidestep left/right
Triangle - jump
X - speed burst/resist tackle, like aggression in league, but no use over long distance. And most of the time with the ball in hand you shouldn't need to hold or tap sprint, it should be doing it, unless you have a decent fatigue system.
O - fend.
Square - score a try, Square+L1/R1 dummy left/right.

D-pad. This would give you 4 strategies. These could be interchangeable in a menu system.
Some ideas...
Attack
Up - bring fullback into line/send him back
Left - bring winger forward to be in good position recieve kick to wing
Right - Drop first five back for kick
Down - Send a winger to cover defence

Defence
Up - bring fullback into line/send him back
Left - drop 1 winger back
Right - drop both wingers back
Down - aggresive eg attempt spot tackles

Adding to the X idea. Maybe it should only be good for a sudden 5-10m burst through the gap before it goes back to normal sprinting. If you take advantage of the analog control, if it is at the extreme it should sprint, halfway it should jog, nudged a little forward it should walk - This is Soccer 2002 had it like this. Could be good to pump legs in a weak sort of a tackle, like in Rugby League.

Most keyboards don't have analog sticks, and why would they be needed on a forum.

If you know what's good for you you'll ignore this post.

Because we dont all have psycic powers like you and using Forums is the main way we can communicate and share our ideas. And maybe, just maybe He was talking about the PS2...

Yeah anyway, I was trying to get the thread back on topic aswell.

So any other brilliant ideas?
 
-Mini-Camp (Training Camp in Franchise mode) Like on Madden
-Off the ball control
-A Special button for hard hits (call it a ''hit stick'' like on Madden 05
-Maclean Park
-Expansion Mode - An option to start a new HC/S12 team from scratch
 
Surely I can't be agreeing with Ripper - I too think a training mode needs to be on the game!
