[QUOTE="GarVanNeath, post: 23428"] I think the bottom line is that developers won't put money into developing games unless they think it's going to sell loads and made them loads of money. I guess they put loads more into games like Madden coz NFL is so big in the USA. Soccer is big worldwide, so people like EA, Konami, etc will pump money into developing those games. The problem with rugby is not so much that it's difficult to translate into a video game experience, more that it's only got much of a following in the UK, Ireland, France, Oz, NZ and RSA, it's un-heard of or a fringe sport in most of the rest of the world. If rugby was a big sport in the USA, we'd have had millions spent each year on developing good rugby games. I hope that rugby 2004 sells enough to convince EA to put more money into developing it and bringing out better versions of it each year. Madden and esnp have got better each year, though probably not enough to justify the price tag (Madden in particular). We all know what the shite points of rugby 2005 are - the big question is whether EA will see it as economically worthwhile to develop the game on an annual basis. [/QUOTE]
