[QUOTE="leicester, post: 7849"] Thanks for your comments, ALL BLACKS. Suggestion re: centres is not bad and, indeed, I did try this myself months ago. Maybe it worked on your game but my R2004 seemed to 'remember' and simply would not let me allocate centres or centres that I had edited to wings / full backs. I have absolutely no idea how or why the game seemed able to do this but, to this day, I still can't get around the problem without editing non-centres to have the stats required, completely re-editing appearance and other features in line with the player I wanted and renaming them with a variant of the original centres name. This is a ridiculous amount of effort to go to so, consequently, I don't bother. I am sure that you guys will all be thinking that I must have had one too many since your versions of the game probably work perfectly (you know what I mean). Nevertheless, trust me when I say that this was the [i]only[/i] solution that ever worked and it was just way too much, especially when the poor quality of gameplay did not reward your efforts. Team numbers: Yes and no. International touring squads can be larger than 30 (Wales took 33 abroad in 2004; England took 32). Lions squads are larger than 30 (this years tour to NZ will take 44 - much larger). The point is that, if you want them and need them, they are there for you. If you don't want them, fine. If picking for Lions, I still maintain that you would want TWO FULL TEAMS (30) + reserve back up for hooker, 8, scrum half and fly half (4). I made the total upto 35 because its a nice round number and gives you a spare pick on top. If you have 30 you are always working to the minimum. Clearly 44 is a bit excessive (just for the Lions) so I figured 35 was a good compromise. Close enough to 30 to retain the stress of losing a few players to injury but allowing greater selection flexibility and cover for Lions etc... [/QUOTE]
