Hmm seems like i posted my ideas on the wrong thread or it got removed...oh well here we go again
5 LIKES:
*RUGBY '08 could just be picked it up and be played,so I hope the gameplay doesn't change too much
*STADIUMS looked really good. I personally liked Queensland (i'm an avid Sharks supporter, but i don't feel Durban's stadium was done justice
*PLAYER LIKENESSES were pretty spot on if u think Percy Montgomery,John Smit and Dan Carter and a few others...
*VARIETY of tournaments from Rugby '04
*SOUNDTRACKS...always fitting
5 DISLIKES:
*NO ON-FIELD REFEREE/LINESMEN/TMO...enough said
*LEAGUES...we need more. The Currie Cup,NPC and Aussie leagues NEEDS to be there. The southern hemisphere is the powerhouse of world rugby,yet we don't have our leagues in any rugby game. Focus more on us for once, please,and less on Europe? Also smaller countries,let them play in a 'World League' type of tournament or a Knockout Cup
*INACCURATE KITS...I know this might require getting licenses from teams like Stade Francais,etc.,but this is what the fans would like i think
*BETTER RATINGS SYSTEM...so many players were rated poorly in '08 when they're awesome players. Francois Steyn for one - rated as a poor kicker? Erm..yh. Do away with the star ratings please and rather give the user the oppertunity to toggle the stats for players in cases where their real life counterparts improve over time.
*CREATION CENTRAL...we had limits to our creations regarding players in the past. Give us more options and the oppertunity to create our own tournaments,teams,kits and stadiums. (thinking MADDEN here).
*THE HAKA...i think this is a personal thing,but nothing gets a fan and player going like the Haka. Give the user the choice of which Haka to perform and maybe throw in an interactive twist here? Just a thought. It's little things that make a game great.
Can't think of much else now,but I will continue to check in. Keep up the good work HB Studios. You've never disappointed. Much appreciated.
