[QUOTE="knowsleyroader, post: 122349"] Hi all, Have some info with regards to 08 now. Its all a bit sketchy as its a mixture of phone calls, text messages and emails. Im not in a position to ask any specific questions at the moment so this is everything I know at the moment and if anything else filters through I will pass it on asap. From my source ( who by the way is a living legend bringing this to us ) " Initial impressions are that its a very good game (they always are though aren't they) There are a few options that can be tweaked, knock ons, fatigue etc. U can have simple or advanced lineouts, rucks etc. It is very responsive and quick." " New angles on kicks are cool " " Players can sprint full length now easily " " Just playing as Gloucester / Saracens, real good battle between Farrell & Tindall " There seems to be advanced offloads where you can choose direction to offload to. World league is in. It seems players can still change direction very quickly, but seems more difference between forwards and backs now. One player stumbled backwards from a dive tackle, the defender was then on the floor, attacker got momentum back and carried on his way. Graphics are better and more in line with RL2 standard apparently. Will add if I hear anything else. Impressions seem to be good, but its long term play that sorts the men from the boys as we know. "This is VERY similar to 06, just played an Aus vs SA in Tri Nations - just reminded me of the last game, also the try scoring animations reset when tackled over the line - graphics are nice and I am gonna try it on Elite level after dinner - won that one 21-10" Can you add more players to the tackle once you have someone in a grapple? - No What leagues tournaments are in? - Guiness Prem, 6 nations, tri nations, super 12, world league & Euro cup - and the world cup has its own section with challenges Is player creation the same? - Not looked yet Do you keep getting turned over when your out wide on your own? - not as much as you used to Any new kicks ie chip overs? - not tried em out - gonna do the tutorial Any difference to high tackles that you can do deliberately? - just had a high tackle on me - same animation Anything different about rucks? - might have mine on simple at the min (just press x to add players and hope for the best) [/QUOTE]
