After further play on intensive care its just the same thing, also its not possible to win your own scrums or turnover mauls. This brings me to the thing that has murdered this game well and truly. There is just no way to get your hands on the ball, you just cant force turnovers. The big hit is the only way, but because that no longer works every time, you cant really even use that. So how he hell do you get the ball? You dont, and that leaves this game dead in the water. If you do find yourself with the ball by some freak accident, like from an opposition mistake, your passes will go to ground, your players will get run down by the super human speed of the opposition. FFS if you even manage to win one ruck, then the opposition No 9 just sprints at your number 10 and gets him before you even have a chance to pass. This game is like RL2 in the fact that on the easier level its good, and it tricks into liking it, and then no longer functions as game on the hardest level. I am appalled at this. WCR was better than this, at least it functioned on all level, and even though it was hard to win rucks on the harder difficulty, if you isolated a guy then you would win, that dosent matter here. Also defence is shocking, the player you select is always one step behind the play, leaving the AI to do some shocking defending, either that or you can keep hammering the player select button until yu get someone actually in front of the attacker, but then you are forced to try a big hit, as it is your only small chance to get the ball, often resulting in a miss and a break. I had low expectations for this game, but still i am gutted.
