[QUOTE="Thingimubob, post: 640745, member: 20956"] Bit confused, are you trying to say the player positioning was good in Rugby Challenge?! Players were never where they were meant to be, lost count how many times in a game where your fly half simply wasnt at first receiver! The game did have a lot of strong points (rucking, lineouts and open field kicking in particular) but player positioning was just not one of them. I guess the reason I struggle going back tO Rugby Challenge (and so far haven't ventured towards Rugby Challenge 2) is that there's rarely any structure to the gameplay. Simply put, its like 7's on steroids! I don't even know how many times I conceded tries from kick offs that were just offloaded impossibly out of contact between players right to the try line. Even with the offload slider all the way down the sheer number of offloads was ridiculous! Believe me, RWC 2011 has a lot of kinks that just make me want to facepalm, but I can still play and enjoy it because I can throw a 2 on 1 without worrying that the pass will fly backwards randomly reason, or that my second row will be able to pull of a perfect 20m+ out the backdoor pass, but then not be able to pop it up to the bloke next to him. Plus I like kicking long penalties when I get them, and the RC kicking system pretty much couldn't get anything further than 35m - 40m (longest one I kicked was 41m with a big wind behind me).
