Can anyone tell me what the various backline moves are and how they run, I always seems to pop the ball into no-mans land.
How does one go about executing the moves and what do the symbols mean.
(PC ver if it makes any difference)
Thanks
If you're using a controller on the PC you've got to work out which button corresponds to numbers 1-4. I use a playstation controller for my PC and the configerations are:
Triangle - button 1
Circle - button 2
x - button 3
Square - button 4
Once you know this executing the moves is easy -
when in possession of the ball, from the ruck or scrum, use the direction button to chose the set move you want i.e classic, pivot, dummy switch or pocket. When you've selected a move the triangle above the ruck will start flashing. Do NOT start the move yet. You have to wait until the triangle has turned green, and stopped flashing. You may need to add more players into the ruck to prevent the opposition turning the ball over.
Once the triangle is green pass the ball out as normal. When the ball gets to the fly half you have to decide which man you want to pass the ball to, by chosing the corresponding button above his head. Once your man has the ball you resume control.
explanation of moves
Classic - 1-3 short to mis move passes along the line. Pressing button four will make the fly half do a chip kick
Pivot - again button four makes fly half do chip kick. 1-3 various pivot moves wherby fly half passes to inside centre, inside centre passes back to fly half, fly half passes out to outside centre (button 2) or wing (button 3)
Dummy switch - havn't tried much but really speaks for itself, Flyhalf dummies opposite man by pretending to instigate varous switch moves.
Pocket - fly half steps back into the pocket giving you room for kicking moves
hope this helps
