[QUOTE="TRF C A Iversen, post: 693687, member: 12312"] Sounds completely right to me. I just don't have the money to waste to buy..... a rugby game? Seriously? I'd buy just about any console game with rugby on it. This though, it's just pushed it too far and backwards as you say AK is what it sounds like to me. As an aside, my objection with Lionmaul isn't that he's rubbishing this game. Far from it. It's that he mostly seems to compare it to Rugby Challenge. The game should be judged on it's own merits, or lack there-of, and rugby itself. As for Rugby Challenge. That game was a lot of good graphics, options, licenses and potential. Unfortunately it was also buggy, displayed limited rugby structure at best, required hundreds of changes and setting alterations to make it.... okay on it's best day. The breakdown method was poor and most players couldn't figure out any reliable method of consistently winning ball without pulling in players that shouldn't be there. The off-side line was a joke and there were many other flaws. Hardly a good game itself or an example to point to. There hasn't been a decent rugby game for it's time since Rugby '08 and even then back in '07 that was just considered alright. Nothing has improved. Developers haven't learned from one another. More importantly, developers haven't dealt with long established and critical members of their audience. They test with people who seemingly aren't direct enough with them and don't have any good ideas to suggest back. Their vision holders are presumably rigid and hold to their ideas in the face of poor workability. They ironically don't trust people in their audience to be a part of their team and help them make rugby better. Big Ant is the only developer in these kind of sports who listens to their fans properly. [/QUOTE]
