Well, that's my lot for tonight.
The difference in PC and PS2 versions is phenomenal. The frame rate is smoother, the graphics are fantastic, the menus are lightening fast. Hell, even creating a player is a joy on the PC thanks to the keyboard.
Still, all's said and done, I have to say that I
still didn't feel fully in control of my players again. Tackling is
still shoddy and running with the ball to take on the defence get's you nowhere. Admittedly, it's far superior to the PS2 version and there is a tiny bit of extra control there. This is mostly due to the silky smooth frame rate though. I must also say that I played the game using all camera angles and due to the hi-res graphics, I think the "High" cam is perfect for planning your attacks cos you can see your receievers perfectly. The High cam on Ps2 was awful because of the horrible low-res graphics so it never got used.
I tried the online mode and couldn't connect for some reason. First it was freezing, but that was due to the firewall not letting it through. After a couple of hard resets, that was sorted. When I finally did connect, it kept telling me there was an error with the server and wouldn't let me connect. After the fifth time of reading that message, I gave up and went back to single player mode.
I know one thing, if I do play RL2 again it'll definitely be on the PC and not PS2.... either that or wait for the Xbox version, with updated squads, kits etc to come out in a couple of months time
