    Rugby 2012 Director of Rugby mode.

    I'd personally much prefer the NZ NPC sides were included in the game than the Super15 teams. In NZ there is still a much more intense following for the Provincial sides than the franchises. And given that all the All Blacks and Super15 player are aligned to Provincial sides anyway it'd be a...

    Suggestions/ideas for Rugby 2012

    I'd like to see more emphasis placed on player Stamina too. This is such a massive feature of pro rugby and can often be the major deciding factor in how a teams chooses to structure their game plan, as well as the deciding factor in who wins a match. Some teams, who have better stamina levels...

    Rugby 2012 - World League Improvement Suggestions

    I like the idea of a deeper Manager Mode, with more teams being licensed (if possible). But I think it should probably be limited to the major competitions globally. That would be those Comps which are given their own TRF sub-forum on the main page: H-Cup, Aviva Premiership, Magners League...

    HB Studios Q&A vol. 2

    Cheers to Alastair and Glen for keeping us posted amongst your schedules. We really are privileged here to be getting such a close relationship with the creation of Rugby2012, hopefully our community is fulfilling our end of the deal too. Especially exciting to hear that the game is already...

    Rugby 2012 Director of Rugby mode.

    Yeah I think you could allow managers to start with the current squad for each club team, just have different expectations for the season depending on how good the team is. The Waratahs, for example, would have expectations of a Top 6 finish next season. So the fans/board would be unhappy if you...

    Rugby 2012 Director of Rugby mode.

    £15 each for the Championship etc, or £15 total for all those additional leagues? Truthfully I'd say you'd pay £15 just for the Championship, from the enthusiasm you've shown. Just as I'd pay $20 for the NPC alone. Like I said, lucrative opportunity I'd have thought. Not that hard for a guy...

    Rugby 2012 Director of Rugby mode.

    If a decent online mode isn't included then the Rugby Director/Manager/World League mode will be the feature that is used the most by gamers. Personally the existing artificial system where all the worlds clubs are lumped together in a token fashion is boring. I'd much prefer a FIFA style system...

    Rugby 2012 Team Ratings?

    Personally I think that if an overall team rating is used it will quickly fall out of date. I like the idea that a teams rating changes with the level of players in it combined with the chemistry of those combinations. Afterall, that is what a teams performance is really about surely? So, that...

    Rugby 2012 - Kicking Improvement Suggestions

    No opinions on the concept of using the dynamic bulls-eye system to better emphasise accuracy of kicking for punts?

    Rugby 2012 - Ruck/Maul System Improvement Suggestions

    As previously stated, there are really only two scenarios where turnovers occur. The first is if a player is isolated in possesion of the ball by the tackler. This is a tackled ball scenario, not a ruck. A ruck forms once two or more players bind over the tackled player. Once a ruck is formed it...

    Be A Pro

    Well I'm going to play Devil's Advocate on this debate then, because I don't think it is too unreasonable to think that it could be done and done well in a lower budget rugby game format. For me there has to be a coupe of important other factors worked out first. Firstly there has be be a...

    Rugby 2012 - Kicking Improvement Suggestions

    I'm a big fan of craigs ideas in general. I think we think alike a lot. But I tend to fall inline more with the ranger concept of favouring a default view from end on if the game is to capture the feel for fluid play that I hope it has. I do think that 95% of good ideas can be captured I the...

    Suggestions/ideas for Rugby 2012

    Just a few thoughts I've had over the last couple of days... I system for lineout throws has already been discussed I believe. Down on the Right analog stick powers the hookers throw, pushing up delivers the timing and direction. As for the jumper I'd probably go for a Madden or Rugby08 style...

    Rugby 2012

    Yeah those points 1,2 and 3 are all very important for improving the gameplay. Points 4,5 and 6 should be a given. I like the concept for the breakdown Craig. Makes sense to allow cheating, by not entering through the gate or by continuing to play at the ball after the ref calls ruck. That'd...
