[QUOTE="jgough, post: 21613"] I'm wrapped with the quality of the game all in all. 10X the game that that wretched R*gby 20*4 (censored, so not to offend) was. But just a few little things make me wonder what the hell the testers were doing, and I would hope that next time the testers pull their finger out of their bum and pick up on those tiny issues that make a game complete. I'll list a few, and I'd love to see anymore that annoy you. * Squad Manager Scrolling - Example: The Auckland Blues defult lineup has Mika as a starting lock, in reality it is the South African guy, G.Rawliston (or something like that) that is now starting... So, you click Mika and hit "Swap", all of a sudden the whole team list goes back to the top again and you have to scroll all the way down to click Rawliston. Wouldn't it just be easier if once you hit swap they team list stays on your selected player?! * Squad Manager Editing - Or lack of! Spencer is a crap goalkicker, hardly better than Ben Blair, and Luke McAlister is a great kicker in real life, yet in R2005 his goal kicking is around the 30's mark. If EA didn't want to do their homework sureley they could have left us with an option to sort out what they did wrong. Again, let me just point at the overall ranking of say, England, to prove that. Or at the other end of the scale, The Hurricanes. * Roster Saving - So, you've just created a pile of players and updated the squads and you hit save, as a normal person you would assume that once that save menu comes up, by clicking save you are actually doing that. No. Silly you. You must actually change that menu you are in to "Rosters" and save it in there. Makes enough sense to save it in "Rosters", so surely the defult save menu that pops up should be the "Roster Save", not the "Profile Save". * In Game Subs 1 - God knows why you can only make one change at a time?! * In Game Subs 2 - As for this, why the hell can't you alter your lineup XV in game, the most common reason or need to do this is because the player you have subbed on isn't good in that positon. E.g.
