[QUOTE="jimmy44, post: 132866"] I played rugby 06 to death so I was looking forward to seeing some changes in 08 - I've listed a few thoughts below[list][*]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!

[/list]If I hadn't bought rugby 06 and played this for the first time I would have given the game an 8, but to be honest after 10 games I'm bored of it already, because I was bored of 06. For effort I would give EA 5/10. They need to do better to please the rugby gaming fans, but because there is no competition, I fear they don't NEED to do better 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.
