[QUOTE="locksley, post: 13301"] Let me put you straight on a couple of points!!! [b]Short distances of kicks[/b] True! You can't do a 100 metre kick downfield, but they're not as short as I first thought! [b]Bombs and grubber kicks don't work[/b] Hmmmm! Bombs aren't too hot, but grubber kicks DO work! [b]Sidesteps, fends,hand offs don't work - on classic view (the one I want to play)[/b] Granted, steps aren't much cop on that view, but fends and shoulder charges work if you're in the right situation! [b]tackling animations kicking in preventing you from passing properly[/b] Yes, this is a slight problem, but it's only really noticable on Hard mode [b]Normal difficulty too easy/ Hard mode too hard[/b] Normal mode is much harder than the hard mode on Rugby 2004!!! Also, Hard mode is very hard, but I was wrong with my initial response! After extended play, you [i]can[/i] find gaps, make breaks etc.... Still haven't won a game on Hard yet tho! [b]flat footed receiver from the ruck[/b] True, but it doesn't annoy you as much as you think it would when you actually [i]play[/i] the game! [b]minimal set play moves from the ruck/scrum/line out - and they don't work[/b] There's 4 choices of set play. each with 4 variations! That gives you 16 different options at a set play! And, you're wrong, they DO work! The last part of that statement of yours simply can not be said when you haven't actually [i]played[/i] the game! [b]Automatic random rucks again[/b] Yes, they do seem automatic, but if you wait too long before passing and don't add enough men, you'l lose the ball! They're much better than 2004's awful rucks! [b]Mauls don't work[/b] What do you mean? [b]AI kicks all the time[/b] Not true! [b]passes going to ground before the line is set - resulting in slow gameplay[/b] Not all the time! And anyway, you always have the choice to pick up with the number 8 or pass it to a forward while you're waiting for the line to get ready! That way, on the next tackle you can throw a long pass out cos the backs won't have been used on the previous phase of play and will be already set! [b]limited camera angles[/b] I'll give you that one! True [b]lack of breaks and 'running rugby' on classic view[/b] Again, not true! You just have to work harder! [/QUOTE]
