[QUOTE="knowsleyroader, post: 123084"] You can just change your defensive formation any time while defending with the D pad. Kick, Tight, Wide etc. 4 different ones. [/b][/quote] so isn't that the same as 06? [/b][/quote] Similar! If I remember rightly, you could only change defence on 06 at a ruck!. You can do it during general play in 08. [/b][/quote] and a dpad icon comes up on the screen with the different formations. Some things are better, some things are worse. Dont think the graphics are as good Its easier to get punts away without it being a knock on and the kicking arrow that comes up is a little smoother and slower. Im pretty sure you can get back up after diving on the ball if no one tackles you ( only done it once but Im sure thats what happened ) Cant seem to do dummies anymore with left then right or vice versa trigger button. Drop goals are rubbish. Its a mixed bag. I think some with prefer 06 and some 08. [/b][/quote] Knowsley/Lox I've just got a few Q's Can you chose which direction to offload to? [b]No I think all advanced does it make it go to ground, there is certainly no indication that you can use left and right etc.[/b] Are there advanced rucks or lineouts or is it just the same as 06? [b]Advanced lineouts where you use the analogue stick to throw. No advanced rucks.[/b] Does the AI defend better, especially around the blind side? [b]I would say if anything ( although im not sure im right, its just the way it seems at the moment ) they cover better out wide, but leave more gaps just off the fringe of the rucks.[/b] Is there a view similar to classic view in 06? [b]None as good as classic.[/b] Do the set moves work better? [b]I cant be arsed with em to be honest.[/b] Are there any new set moves? [b]Dunno. ( Lox uses em I think, he will tell you )[/b] In 06 the AI mostly attacked with set moves - is this the same in 08? [b]They do still use them a fair bit yes.[/b] Any chance of a 08 review, perhaps after a few more games on elite level??!! :bravo: Thanks [/b][/quote] [/QUOTE]
