I am finding hard difficulty a challenge at the moment, especially against good teams. However I am getting better very quickly and so I'm a little concerned its going to get too easy!
Well I have been playing as bath and just had some superb games - just finished playing Toulouse - final score 19 (bath) 23 (Toulouse). I scored three tries and they scored a couple.Originally posted by NZL fan@Mar 31 2005, 07:26 AM
The main problem with all modes is that the AI can defend a bit, but after you play a few times it is far too easy to defend against them.
In hard mode I never conceed any tries, just multiple drop goals and the odd penalty......
Here, I posted this in another thread about rugby 2005's AI.........
"In rugby 2005 the attacking AI simply just reflects what defensive play you choose.
I suggest thats why people are forever complaining about "the computer kicks all the time", because they never choose to do a "kick defense" defensive play to combat it.
Generally if you choose "kick defense" the computer runs a hell of a lot more, if you don't they kick a lot more........spread wide the computer is more inclined to make runs close to the ruck, defend close to the ruck/add too many players to the ruck and the computer will throw it wide..........all this is done in a mechanical fashion regardless whether it is the best decision or not.
....now how basic is that AI, hardly 2 and a half years worth of development thats for sure.....in fact it is so simple that most people here can not even see it for what it is........(forrest for the trees complex)."
It will... I just completed a RWC with australia on hard with 5 min halves and I scored at least 4 tries every match (7 against namibia) and only conceded 3 points through the entire tournament! I beat the AB's 26-0 in the semi and beat France 33-3 in the final...Originally posted by jimmy44@Mar 31 2005, 04:30 AM

I find they can score tries even when I'm concentrating!Originally posted by CeeJay@Mar 31 2005, 10:15 AM
I have noticed choosing kick defence does make them run more, but choosing tight or wide does absolutely nothing. The Ai will score the odd try on you and sometimes its a good one, but it only seems to be when your getting bored and you let your guard down a bit. The only way to make this more challenging once youve mastered hard mode is to make up rules for yourself and stick to them.
Mate I think you're just too good at the game! Why don't you try playing as a worse team or tweak the stats a bitOriginally posted by sanzar+Mar 31 2005, 02:39 PM--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (sanzar @ Mar 31 2005, 02:39 PM)</div><!--QuoteBegin-jimmy44It will...

I am infirst division now (hard level)...Originally posted by GarVanNeath@Mar 31 2005, 11:22 AM
Playing on normal level was becoming too easy, especially as a bought better players (World league mode).
Playing on hard is VERY frustrating. Constantly getting turned over. Catch 22, I can't hardly score any tries, so can't get bonus points to improve my team, so can't score tries, and so on. To be honest, the turnovers are trying my patience.
I've only won one game out of 5 - against Gwent Dragons, when I had a breakaway length of the field try. None of my set moves seem to work.
Any idea how to try to stop turnovers on hard level? Seems to be quite a wide gulf between normal and hard levels.
