[QUOTE="esoj, post: 1171933, member: 12204"] I think it's a compromise so that they can still release the game without having to patch it like crazy at release. There were significant delays with both afl 23 and cricket 24 that I am sure bigant don't want to repeat. Afl 23 also had major issues at release that required a lot of patches just to get the game running without crashing. The early access route seems to be bigants way of being able to release a game but not be under so much pressure to release it perfectly from the start and allow them to patch it at a bit more of a normal rate. This should also help when it comes time to release on console as the game should be more stable by then as well. The new tennis game bigant made tiebreak is also doing a similar thing releasing into early access first with a full release later. One good thing for early access release is the price is cheaper. The tiebreak game on steam in early access is a lot cheaper than recent bigant full releases on steam. March is not an ideal release time though for rugby 24. The six nations will almost be over or could be completely over depending on when exactly they release in march. This could have a big impact on sales in the nothern hemisphere. A lot more fans would have been interested in getting it if was releasing in february at the start of the six nations. Look at netflix they choose a great time to release their full contact six nations series just a few weeks before the start of the six nations will lots of people would be interested in watching.
