all these features etc will be great but the core gameplay I think will proabbly suck and these features will just be used to try and hard that the basics are still flawed. This is defintely a try before you buy and I too will proabbly be giving it a big miss

i think people must must stop being so negative. Maybe this one's gonna be good though i suppose we have reason to be so anti-EA. Rugby 2004 was f***ing terrible (to say the least) but Rugby 2005 was a lot better but still not brilliant. Maybe this one is gonna be what we've been waiting for.......
And why don't SA commentators ever feature on rugby games. But i suppose Hugh Bladen is a bit of a crap commentar: "AND IT"S JACQUE FOURIE!! no, wait JEAN DE VILLIERS!!"
Thank god none of the Welsh commentators were picked. If Jonathan Davies (i think thats the name of the extremely biased, high-pitched winer though if it isn't help me out) was chosen i would have shot myself

From what I've heard so far it seems to be shaping up alright. I'll reserve my judgement until I play it however.

I think south african commentary should be an unlockable thing. There is so much comedy in listening to SA commentary. but all the time, it would get so annoying.Originally posted by Brett@Dec 5 2005, 06:41 PM

I don't think we'll see any rugby game get 9/10 for a damn while. In my opinion 7/10 would be a success.

I hope the gameplay is more realistic for me like more penalities etc for offences like early tackles and late tackles etc cause in rugby 2005 you could do both and you could get away with both which was not realistic

also found this on the ea auzzie pageRugby 2005 was all about capturing the excitement and Intensity which links each EA SPORTS ***le. Rugby 2006 places emphasis on creating the best gameplay any rugby game has ever seen. In maintaining realism, Rugby 06 moves closer and closer to actually playing in a real Rugby match by giving users complete offensive control. Like a real match, users can now keep the momentum of an attack going by utilizing the new Off-load passing control. This feature will allow players to pass out of a tackle and thus sustain the pressure and intensity of each attack. Combine this with the new extra speed and responsive gameplay and you have two major improvements which will help bring the excitement of Rugby to living rooms worldwide.
Rugby matches at the highest level require discipline, team skill and moments of individual flair and brilliance Matches can be won through one player's innovation, inspiration and magic. With scores level, users can turn to their Impact Player. The Impact Player feature is based on the principle that in any professional sport there are great players who have great impact on the outcome of a game. Rugby 06 captures the ability of those select players and if used effectively, users will be able to enhance their chances of securing the victory.
Fans are attracted to the game of Rugby for many reasons, the drama, the tension but mostly the hard hitting action. In the heat of the moment things can get out of hand and nothing captures this better than the illegal hit feature. Players can choose to deliver brutal illegal hits when they want. If used in the right situation, this feature can help to neutralize the effect of your opponent's impact player on the match. As with any foul play, illegal hits will earn the user the punishment of the instigating player being sent to the sin bin. This brings an aspect of strategy to the game, deciding when or whether to use this feature or not.
