[QUOTE="jgough, post: 11286"] In regard to my EA contact who is involved with these games: I didn't talk too much to him about the above sort of stuff. The reason being because I thought they needed to sort the basics out FIRST before they got onto any really good stuff. I also thought if I bombarded him, and EA, with all this other stuff, it would just be a tad overwhelming and they would end up taking nothing on board at all. * I spoke to him about improved and crisp menus etc (I think that the layout is important, and although you can't judge a good book by it's cover - it sure as hell helps!). * I spoke to him about including a Haka (NZ, Fiji, Samoa & Tonga. When we talked, the PI team handn't played, but should our talks have been POST that, then of course, a haka too for PI team.) * I spoke to him about changing Create a Player from insted of having "Body Type" actually choose a height (in CM and with feet in brackets, with an option to make it vice-versa) and weight (in Kgs and have pounds in brackets, with an option too, to change those round as well). IMO I said that the body type was just stupid, I said that I would rather see you add the height and weight values yourself, then perhaps look at a body type for those values AFTER the height and weight had been set. * I spoke to him about more stats for the players. (I.e. having kicking power and kicking accuracy, and handling and catching and leadership and composure and all that sort of stuff) * I spoke to him about scrum moves and making them effective, like having a number eight break etc, and making them EFFECTIVE.
