[QUOTE="raziel_eire, post: 15737"] I'll only ever play the game on sideview (or broadcast I s'pose)... Its how I watch rugby, so thats how I wanna play it... in regards to seeing gaps, its pretty easy actually, when playing the game a few times you get a feel for when and where a player can tackle, so you'll know whether to chance that gap or not When play is at the near sideline or on that side of the pitch (nearest the camera), its very easy to see gaps or breaks... not as easy on the farside, as you are further away, but I think its still very playable I definately would not say that it is restrictive in any way to play on sideview (but then I haven't tried any of the others!)... but I'll say this, having bought R2001 a few weeks before I actually got hold of a demo, I did not enjoy sideview, I just found it too hard (hey, even restrictive!) to make a good idea of what options were open to me whilst attacking or defending... with this R2005 (demo)... I've never once felt like the view caused me to botch something up, sure I might miss the odd tackle or place a kick too far infield for the fullback to launch another attack (Robinson is a c*** for this!) that I may have made better by looking straight downfield using the behind goal views, but if you take your time (and don't always press X for the dive/spear/ankle-tap tackle), you can cut out most of your mistakes. There is also a decent feel for the pace of a winger/fast man on sideview compared to what I've seen in the video's from behind (where everything seems to appear a little slower)... putting Sailor or Tuquiri on the overlap in midfield and letting them burn some pace downfield (even if you are eventually nailed the charging fullback!) feels pretty good to me And besides, I don't mind making a mistake and letting a score slip away too much (c'mon rugby is full of mistakes or mis-timings), it just gives you the added incentive to go straight back up field and make them pay! I like this game! [/QUOTE]
