[QUOTE="jmmontoro, post: 640790, member: 23558"] I don't agree with the praise of HB series vs the criticism of RC series. Both are literally the two sides of the same coin, one has it's strengths where the other has weaknesses and the other way around (I'm talking gameplay only). RC's running game is excellent while HB long documented 30 man conga line is excellent for all the wrong reasons. Scrums are mixed, both have good things, HB had feeding and hooking which I think it's huge. Lineouts are all for RC, unless anyone wants to make a case. Rucks are mixed too, I liked RC2 approach a lot but missed some of the realistic chaos in HB, while the options after the breakdown were better covered by HB. Injuries are both poor, with RC stopping play and forcing a substitution and HB stopping the game indefinitely. General kicking is better by RC but goal kicking goes entirely to HB, RC had a good idea but never refined it, no middle ground, no length, no angle, basically no HB. Tactics, HB had some plays to run, but they were all too much on rails, once it triggered they will complete it no matter if the ball was lost on the first pass. While RC had a nice thing adjusting commitment, width and depth for different zones of the pitch, but it was a bit too messed up. Basically, we need RC3 as much as we need R15. Competition forces the other party to raise the bar. Financially it could pose an issue since the market is not big enough for two, but I think the market is small because it has been constantly disappointed for a very long time. I'll worry about licenses when I have a game I can't let go. [/QUOTE]
