    More News on a Professional American League

    The Q&A with the founder of the APRC is now up... http://www.thisisamericanrugby.com/2013/01/pro-rugby-q-with-aprcs-jason-moore.html

    RUGBY ONSLAUGHT - NFL or Rugby: settled

    I'm on rugby's side in the argument, it flat out makes better all around football players. There are some NFL'ers right now that repeatedly reflect on their rugby backgrounds as a basis for their success. But, if you're going to post fatty pictures of overgrown NFL linemen as part of the...

    Screenshots?

    Why would they have to play their cards close to their chest? It's a rugby game after all, it's not like there are 2-3 other developers working on competing rugby ***les. If they're keeping things quiet because financing is on the bubble and they're trying to not get anyone's hopes up, then that...

    Suggestions/ideas for Rugby 2012

    Aside from some of the ideas mentioned already, I'd like to see some unlockable stadiums. Make players earn the ability to play at places like Twickenham by winning the Premiership. Maybe throw in some "Classic" stadiums like Landsdowne Road. Maybe even unlock a pitch at Rugby School or...

    Suggestions/ideas for Rugby 2012

    Updating rosters via DLC is a must have for any sports ***le these days. It takes away the long hours of slaving away keeping rosters updated and gives everyone more time to play and enjoy the game. This should be no different for Rugby 2012 since rugby ***les aren't released every year. Getting...

    Rugby 2012 - New/Updated Stadiums

    Agreed that the USA should get at least one stadium in the game. Red Bull would be nice to have as a stadium option for the USA. It's a very cool stadium, but it's only held one USA Rugby event thus far. I'd rather see a stadium that has given more service to rugby get recognized. Infinity Park...

    Suggestions/ideas for Rugby 2012

    I like where you're headed with this idea. During franchise mode in most other sports games there are always mini-games to improve varying aspects of your players skills. That could be a cool way to tie 7's into a franchise mode. There are many possibilities for 7's to be used in Rugby 2012...

    Suggestions/ideas for Rugby 2012

    I think 7's lends itself quite well to an arcade style format of play like NFL Blitz. I think that would be a cool option through the PSN/XBox. I'm not totally ruling out 7's being in Rugby 2012 though. HB has alot more room to work with on the next gen systems, so it could be done. I won't be...

    Suggestions/ideas for Rugby 2012

    Very cool suggestion. There are already enough gameplay suggestions on this board to choke a donkey (and rightfully so). There is alot more flexibility in the next-gen systems, so the menu areas of the game should receive their own proper treatment worthy of a next-gen rugby ***le. As a truly...

    IRB Sevens Standings

    I think we're going to see alot more parity in the coming years on the 7's circuit, especially as the Olympics inch closer and closer. Repeat championships on the IRB Series are going to become more and more rare. Which is a great thing for the game and something that 15's wished they had right...

    TRF and HB Studios - Rugby 2012 update #1

    HB Studios should take a long look at what was done with Backbreaker. I think the style would go over quite well with rugby. Actually, I think the style of gameplay would actually be better suited for a rugby game. There are videos all over Youtube if you haven't seen any footage of the gameplay...

    Sevens Olympic Format?

    Agreed, the 12 team format is disappointing. Having 24 teams is far more inclusive and the tournament can be done in roughly the same amount of time. I also agree that if the tournament is a success (and it will be) that they will give an expanded tournament more thought for 2020. Who knows, if...

    Questions for HB Studios

    The euphoria engine is pretty impressive. I'm guessing we won't see it on Rugby 2012, but who knows about the future???? I think it would add an entirely new dimension to the gameplay. Actually, I'd like to see it used on an arcade style 7's game to test it out. I think that would be alot of fun.

    Licenses over gameplay

    Same here. When I look back at some of my most favorite sports games of all-time, many of them didn't have licenses, but had good gameplay and features. I like licensed sports games, but it's just as fun to learn the traits and characteristics of completely fictional players. In fact, with a...

    IRB Sevens Standings

    Looks like France is out as a core team for next season. I'm surprised that they didn't pull a Scotland and bring in some bigger guns in order to lock down some points in London and/or Edinburgh. Congrats to Samoa on a fine season.

    Questions for HB Studios

    You would get the game via download though the PSN or XBox Live. The only difference is that you get a code from the developer that unlocks the download. Only those with codes can play the game. The ones that I have done were limited in the amount of gameplay offered, since it's Beta. But, it's...

    Questions for HB Studios

    Good question. Many other games have begun to tap into their fanbase by using them to Beta test their games many months before release. I have done Beta on a couple games and being part of the process was pretty fun. The final products were better off for the participation of their fans as...

    Sevens Olympic Format?

    So far, the IOC has commented that the 2016 Olympics will only have 12 teams in competition with a slightly different format to what we've become used to on the IRB Series. If so, they are really missing out. The Hong Kong format, with 24 teams, is an excellent model that could easily be used in...

    Fastest Player

    After watching Ngwenya torch the Ospreys on that 80 meter try in the Heineken Cup this past weekend, I've got to go with him.

    Introducing TV Time outs to Professional Rugby

    The Las Vegas 7's had better attendance than the last 6-8 Eagles matches combined. Not that it was a tough feat to accomplish, but it matters to sponsors and networks. It's a more palatable version of the game for the casual American sports fan and a great introduction to the sport to young...
