I'm new to rugby and new to the forum here. Can someone please tell me please, what game should I have for my collection? I found rugby 2006 in a shop in the town but that will be old and lots of rubbish old players?

I'm just so confused right now :( I know I am going to be playing a game of rugby on my playstation, but which one can it be? What to do if I cant play it very well? Thank you for helping me everyone.

Depends what system(s) you have If you have a PC that's capable of running it (any PC these days can) then Rugby 08 seems still to be the most popular option due to the modding attention it's received. Also you can play this on a PS2 (or a PS3 with backwards compatibility).

But in that case, I'd be tempted to just recommend AB Rugby Challenge. Better system and overall mechanics imo than RWC 2011.
 
all im hoping for in this new rc2 is a carreer mode more like world legue on rugby 08 where you actually have to make money to buy players, forwards stick to the rucks and stay out of the backline(exceptions can be made for backrowers slotting in between flyhalves and ceters), flyhalves should be in his position not on the wing or at 2nd receiver. There should be an option for forwards standing of the rucks for a short pass. And a quick steel option when your team gets to the ball first. And maybe even some set plays... The set plays used in rugby 04 for the lineouts and the scrums would be great then the set plays from rugby 08 for the normal gameplay will be nice aswell... And i really hope sidhe can get all the licenses for the all the SA super rugby teams this time round. i dont really play with the international teams so not very phased bout thm,em lol... this is just my opinion...

I spent a lot of time editing stats (mainly of the forwards) but i have a question for us all.

In the game the forwards (props) are usually half the speed of a winger and accelerated half as fast. So a prop would be
Prop
Speed - 45
Acceleration - 42

Wing
Speed - 79
Acceleration -81

Is that a fair assesment of rreal life? Are props half the speed of wingers?

I just founf in the game that the locks were all too slow as in reality they are often as fast as the backrow who should be similar speed to the centres???

Just food for thought when they do the stats

not really look at the speed of cian healy

World League was a stupid mode. You play in a fictional competition with teams from all over the world. Ridiculous. If they want to implement a career mode, it has be more genuine. Just have the competitions run next to each other and give the user the option to work his way up as a coach. Start with Boland (South Africa), Otago (New Zealand) or London Scottish (England) for instance. That would be amazing! Not some lame made-up competition where they throw in all teams.

Given that HES still haven't managed to wrangle the bok and euro national team licenses, does anyone think hb may be working on a sequel too?

I'd say they won't make another one until the next world cup. What is combined country by the way? It would be great if more licenses are secured but I'm fairly certain that's on True Blue's end of things and nothing to do with Sidhe.

Whilst it would give them the option do so, it doesn't guarantee that they are. They may just own the rights for X number of years, with a potential extension available if both parties agree.

doesn't matter - we'll just do what we did with the last Rugby Challenge. :)
 
Yeah interesting. My only question is still unanswered (and probably will remain so because of licencing issues), but I'm still really curious if the likeness of players will be similar to any other nations as they are to Australia and New Zealand.
 
I like that the red/orange hair is still in the game :P (Saw a screen shot of tigers wasps and one of them has that strange colour).
Are there any rumours on a release date yet? Im guessing pre-Lions is a bit too much to hope for.

Olyy: No release date has been set, but there are plenty of rumours :)

nickdnz: I'm not entirely clear about what you're asking.

I'm asking that: The faces of many players from Australia and New Zealand are amazing in the detail for rugby challenge. Players like Weepu, Drew Mitchell Jonah Lomu, Mario (lol) have all been obviously made to closely resemble the actual players. In contrast the other countries all have faces which seem based off their likeness but made through the 'create-a-player' system, which while good is in comparison very unrealistic when compared to Weepu etc...So, my question is whether or not the NH players which are from licensed teams will have the same detail put into individual players as in many of the players from the SH?

I have been wondering the same thing? It's hard to tell from the screenshots as the Lions team screenshot looks quite good. Last time I understand they didn't have the time to put as much detail into the NH guys.

It varies. It will always depend on when clubs and unions get their team information and/or media to us, and how useful those are, as to how well we are able to create likenesses. I can't speak to specifics, but on the whole there has geen a general increase in the quality of player likenesses, though that may apply to a particular player or team licence that you are interested in.

I don't think different boots would of been high on the agenda in the new feature list. Plenty of other things which are more important to implement, around the game play aspects
