Could someone at Sidhe confirm (or not) if form ratings will be in the game???
Form ratings add so much to sports games due to the fact that they make you actually toy with the idea of swapping players from within your starting lineup if some of your starting/better players are showing below normal form.
It also leads to more varied play during games. For instance it gives Souths a better chance of beating the Roosters if key Roosters players are playing below optimum form......
Also some players are reknown for not always playing at their best (usually shown by a "consistancy" rating), but when they do they have a blinder (Clinton Toopi comes to mind as one/actually most of the warriors team!!). These type of players can thus be accurately created in the game.
As it stands in SJRL 1 and rugby 2005 when you play a game you are always playing with players who are operating at their optimum performance. This is very unrealistic, especially during franchise/career type modes.
The PES series has had form ratings for some time. There are five different levels (Excellent, very good, average, below average, poor) and these change from game to game based on a variety of factors/other player ratings (ie. consistancy). Basically the different levels change a set percentage of the players gameplay ratings for that game only. Hence at "very poor" a player will play 10-20% less then their normal ability.
I can only hope that this has been implemented into the new version.
