with no online community to play against it did get boring for me eventually. I was about 6 or 7 years into my 10 year franchise playing every game from memory on 10 min halves. perhaps with updates to teams and stats it could be fun taking a team like south sydney through on a franchise and see how challenging that is. last time I had the warriors and still had stacey jones as my halfback in his 30's carving up.

what would be awesome to see is the franchise from rl 2 in an ea rugby game. ea have almost got the core gameplay down very well but the world league is pretty crap imo. a more in-depth single player mode like the franchise in rl 2 would be awesome and make the game last longer between releases. currently I don't think anyone plays either rl 2 or ea rugb08 that often and a good in-depth single player franchise I think would help the situation a lot
