[QUOTE="lazy_chesnut, post: 16546"] I have learned a few things from playing this game which people may want to know. The following only applies to the PC version as far as I know. If I can think of any more at a later date, I will post them here. * Dummies are in - hold pass in one direction, then press the other * PC game controls are really tough to get, especially in defence. It cannot be changed in the games menus, but I'm sure with a bit of modding....... * The graphics are great. The animations look very very smooth. When I was playing as Leicester, and the players got all muddy, it looked VERY, VERY impressive. * There does appear to be a slight problem as Lox mentioned with the tackle animations beginning and therefore stopping you from passing. However, on the flip-side, sometimes you appear to *almost* offload the ball, and this works very well to put players through gaps. * The way which you control the player who is about to receive the ball when passing works well, as you can cut back on angles. * Passing inside works really well, and looks great and realistic also * There are only 4 body shapes in the player editor - added as an afterthought surely. * You cannot choose the player's kicking foot in the Player Editor. * The ball moves through the air differently in the PC version to the PS2 version. There is no "torpedo" goal kicking, the ball rotates backwards like it should. * Mauls work well - as the maul begins to slow, add another player to get it moving quicker again. * Maximum screen resolution - 1024x768 * There are adjustable sliders in the in-game options for "knock-ons", "injuries", and "fatigue". * Olivier Magne got a yellow card in the third match I played for collapsing a maul. * Ball physics are dodgy. * If you get tackled as you are just about to pass, you run the risk of knocking the ball on. * Players with good passing stats lead their runners into gaps well. * The scrummie does not throw the ball away that often - it's no real problem * The game runs nice and smoothly on my computer, even though I have not a very good setup - laptop, 2.something GHz, with i think either a 64 Mb gfx card, or 2 32 MB chips. But the game runs fine. EDIT: Looking at apost asking about loading times. I don't even remember waiting for it to load, it's that quick. Hell that's quite a lot. Any questions, if asked politely and written in English will be answered if I know the answer. Cheers. Tom [/QUOTE]
