Questions for Q & A with Alastair

[sethry101]

Hey there, I would like to know a few things, 1st how have you configured offloads like can you pull a sonny bill, and will this be realistic in that a fly half can do it but a prop can't. 2nd please well you let us know about NZ and AUS I mean it seams to be definite that they will be unlicensed but from the outside its seams hardly any effort was put into securing these license as we have pretty much had 2 just accept it from the start.3rd Will the AI be very predictable after hours of playing like 08 or have to created unpredictable AI like FIFA, and on that will the hardest difficult be harder then 08.Will you be able to play the world cup with more then 1 time so you can play a tournament with friends (Off-line)Thanks so much for letting us ask what's on our minds!

Hi, Alastair thanks for taking the time to answer (and re-answer) our questions. Anyway, are punting/goal kicking styles included in the player editor? Are depth charts subject to editing from the menus, not just in-match substitutions? Are high tackles still in the game? (srry if it's already been asked) Can you turn off or make certain penalties less likely to be called when commited? I've asked this before, but will the North American release date be the same as the European/AU/NZ/SA release dates?

Thanks

when do you expect more licencing information to be released?

 

[Hermezzz]

About rucks and rucking system. When does the ball become unplayable? The breakdown situations were pretty random back in Rugby 08, and I was interested in knowing how will the new system change the unplayable ruck scenario...

Why is there no franchise/career mode this time round?

Ye i would also like to see some career mode or something to give the game more game time

 

[jimi]

Has the bounce of the ball been made more realistic?

 

[bullman]

Hi AJ

Could you please explain the tour mode in detail?

 

[TRF C A Iversen]

With only a few games modes, can you please tell us if there are some unlockables in the game (whether they be teams, challenges, game modes or anything else at all)?

 

[David Smith]

Umm.... Is there a awesome cut scene when you win the world cup and do you think it's possible to win the world cup with teams such as Tonga and Japan?

 

[Munster9]

Let's hope they're skippable, otherwise it'll be a 35 minute cut scene before every Ireland game! :lol:

We only have to do that because ye English stole 6 counties off us,so deal with it!!

Right less than a couple of hours to go until this thread is closed

 

[kohls03]

Any news on the kicking aspect of the game? is there still a giant red line showing you where the ball is being kicked?

 

[TVH11]

Do any players have "individual animations" for side steps/fends etc??? If so, would you be able to elaborate
Many thanks
