Thanks again AJ for answersing these questions?  It really is amazing how you guy take the time to listen and discuss the game.  I really respect that.

I understand your point, to the casual gamer it may be a better system, and along with the new rucking tactics it may become a better way to handle rucks in a video game, the problem is with people that trully play the game how it should be played(simulation rugby), I for one would never button mash in 08, I would wait for the oppurtunity and then add as many players I could when I thought I had a chance for turnover, or when I needed to retain the ball out wide or when I needed to stall a little in game.   The tactics of adding players to a ruck,  is a strategy you really had to balance out, because if not you would get caught with not enough players to defend the line, you had to know when to use it and when to not it to was a risk/reward system.  I personaly think the old system combined with the new would of made a hybrid rucking system that would of had a tremendous amount of strategy.  Well, in any case it is what it is,  It is definetly a different approach to rucking, and that is why it iritates me when people say the game is an upgraded 08, it is definetly NOT, these changes are major changes to the way the game will be played.  We will have to play for some time to find out.  Well, maybe in future versions, there can be two systems, one for automatic rucks (balance n rucks and game) and manual rucks where you can decide the amount of players and amount preasure in the ruck.  Looking forward tremendously to play the game, and I believe all in all it will be a better game then 08.
