[QUOTE="QKXV, post: 115513"] Valid points CA but we're not discussing praise for 06 here, the fact is that if alll they'll give us in 08 is rugby 06 with added RWC labels and updted rosters, we might as well put the money some of us are going to pay to EA together and hire a team of programmers under the supervision of Woosah et al and update 06 independantly. Infact, if someone found a way to take 06 online I bet that will sell more copies than EA would sell copies of 08 if the latter doesn't have online play. Sure we are clutching at straws as we have no concrete evidence as to the true quality of the new game but compare current football games with rugby 06 and you can see why people are demanding better than what has been presented with 06. The old chestnut of an excuse that rugby has a smaller market and therefore who can blame developers if they take maximum profits from an inferior product is a bit of a defeatists atitude. Build it and they will come - I'm no economist but surely a game of great quality will have a better chance of expanding that small market than a game of average quality. I can tell you this, if 08 does not have online play I'm not buying. Not because I'm tight, but like you imply, 06 is good enough. The quality of EA Rugby series has improved exponentially since 1995, (apart from 2004 if I remember correctly), any improvements to 08 that borders on 'average' when compared to 06 would not be enough of an incentive for me to spend the money and I hope the same goes for any person who's not in the "coming over the carpet at the sight of a cover for 08" -crew.
