[QUOTE="NZL Fan, post: 22571"] This is the thing that ****** me off the most about rugby 2005......... Especially in hard mode where you need to be able to pass at the last moment a lot more (due to the opposition being "sped up" in this mode) but are unable to due to the "animation problem". Hard mode also annoys me. Speeding up the opposition team, and denying your team possession at rucks (even when they have no support players in sight, or you are unable to turn over the ball even after three huge hits that force their team back 15 mtrs) is just bad programming. [b]People on here who have said that hard mode is like real rugby are kidding themselves[/b].............it is boring beyond belief when playing against teams like England. You are unfairly denied possession, and your players are made much slower then the oppositions. Scores tend to be unrealistically low as a result, and generally it becomes one big defensive 'bore fest" as a result (where again it is too easy to defend). Drop goal kicking contests generally occur in this mode. Normal mode on the other hand is just too easy. The computer opposition AI is VERY POOR in attack, and moves at a snail pace making defending far too simple. Its at a point now that I hardly concede any points at all in this mode. Lastly you are very rarely awarded any penalties in the game, even though the opposition seem to be able to tackle you regardless if they retire back behind the ruck or not.....I don't know how many times I've been tackled by a player coming from an offside position retiring from a previous play. I'm bored by rugby 2005 after a week, and are seriously contemplating changing my mind over whether SJRL 1 has more longevity...........
