[QUOTE="jimmy44, post: 120601"] Hi guys, I hate to be a pessimist but I fear this game really is just an update of 06 - EA are clearly cashing in on the rugby world cup and don't have the time, resources or inclination to invest in a proper rugby game. All they can see are money signs, and I would very much doubt it if they have taken heed of any of the suggestions made on this website over the years. In fact none of them probably even know about this site. The proof will be in the pudding. Lets just see how many of the great suggestions posted on this forum actually make it into the game. I would be surprised if we see any. Ea know there is a small rugby fan base who will buy this game whatever, and as long as they keep the standard to a certain level (well below what we are looking for) they know that we will all keep buying their games, and they're right. Also remember they run a monopoly on this sport. There is absolutely no competition in the market place so there isnt much incentive to pull their finger out. I am certain this is why we saw a big improvement in 06, because Rugby Challenge was also being launched. As soon as RC went out of production, EA commit minimum resources to rugby. i hope I am wrong but all my instincts say otherwise. [/QUOTE]
