I played rugby 06 to death so I was looking forward to seeing some changes in 08 - I've listed a few thoughts below
Also I have concerns that we might not see a rugby 09. Just a thought, but if they couldn't spare the budget for rugby 07, and rugby 08 is only an update and cashing in on the world cup, I don't see much hope for a rugby 09.Sorry to be pessimistic, hope I'm wrong.
- Special moves seem to work better, particularly the shoulder charge
- Cameras are ok, though I preferred the old classic view where you change direction each half
- Seems much harder to score which is great, although there are still glaring gaps in the AI defence, particuarly down the blind side
- Still scoring the same tries as 06
- I like the goal line defence - getting fewer push over tries
- AI attack seems to be a bit better, and good teams break more tackles
- Much faster, and players have greater turn of speed i.e from run to sprint
- Advanced mauls and lineouts pretty weak in my opinion
- Drop goals terrible, havn't worked out how to do it
- Lack of tournament choice is a real let down - why oh why did they take out the ten nations and I hate having to play the same pool games in the world cup!
- Bugs galore and the rosters are a mess - silly things like giving star players the wrong mug shot (David Streetle is NOT bald!) also I noticed some AI teams have starting line ups with people out of position! Its obvious this game is a rush job
- World cup is exactly the same as 06 except for a few flags! If this is a world cup edition, where are all the fire works, cut scenes, world cup commentry? Very weak
- Commentry is the same - I turn it off.
