Rugby challenge 2: The lions tour edition announced

[Howzy]

Yes, if we do another Rugby Challenge will continue to take on board what gamers tell us. The community stats idea came from that, and is still something we'd be keen on. We don't always get to do what we want, but we don't give up on them. Some of the changes between the first and second game were things we didn't get to do the first time around.

So does that mean next time ull allow transfers within the season and a dream team mode alot like ultimate team as that's the only reason people actually get the FIFA series so if u spend more time and money on that it will be well spent. Aslong as the players rating ain't massively low like someone said back up the page.<br>

Okay, So I picked mine up yesterday.

played for an hour or so. As a Saffa, I am extremely dissapointed that we once again weren't included. and to make this worse than with the RC1 is that the players for the SA super rugby teams names are nowhere close to their real names as was the case with the first game. Editing is going to be a *****!!

As far as the gameplay, pretty much the same as the first game, though the improvements are making it much more enjoyable. I'll be playing some more in the coming week to get a better feel for it, but for now it's not too bad...

We're going to need another editing thread. The international sides are mostly fine, but I haven't seen anyone do the South African teams.

Well don't look at me... I'm only editing the Bulls and the Springboks...

See if the producers of this game spent a little more time things like this wouldn't be needed

I'm not going to answer anyone specifically in this post. Consider this a FAQ for now.

We did originally plan to involve the users on our forum to nut out the stats. This plan relied on the game being anounced much earlier than it was, however, so we couldn't in the end. This is why the stats were not community derived.

The PC version is ready and waiting for a release date from Tru Blu. It will be available on PC DVD and Steam.

The game is region-free, though users not using HDMI in non-PAL territories will need a TV that supports 60 hz.

Some users on Xbox 360 are seeing frame-rate issues, but not enough that we've found a pattern yet. At this point I advise caution, perhaps hiring the game if you're not sure if you want it, or if you are an Xbox gamer, at least until we know more.

We have a bugs and glitches thread stickied over on our forums, for those who have hit strangeness. Console and reproduction details with the description of the problem would be useful.

Custom teams may be used online. In ranked matches the team stats will be normalised, but in unranked (private) matches you have the option of normalising or using your own custom stats.

Multiple gamers may play in career mode matches, and multiple careers may be conducted at one time, but there is a limit of five careers at a time. Career mode recruitment is carried out at the end of each season.

While one licensor agreed to drop the conditions of transfer restriction they had placed on their sides, a few others did not. The three European competitions still have those restrictions in place.

Just a quick one for your imformation. When arranging the subs bench pre match (lions tour), after starting the match the subs bench is in a completely different order.

Don't know if you were aware of this bug.

Mine arrived today. The gameplay is improved and it is more of a challenge, still the rating are grating and as I don't have online I'm going to have to put in a lot of work.

No, it doesn't. It means what it says

I'm pretty sure the guys on our forum are almost done with the South African national team, and expect the club sides will be done eventually too. They're an industrious bunch *so proud*

Yes, thanks

There are heaps of them. Different people are working on or have made various sides, competitions, or groups of sides. The forums are at http://forums.sidhe.co.nz.

Heeeeeere it is. Been looking for this for a few days http://forums.sidhe.co.nz/showthread.php?49349-shatner-s-RC2-editing-thread

Apologies for bumping an old thread, but does anyone still play this game? And if they do, do they bother using the strategies on the D pad. I just manage enough time to choose send runner left/right and prepare kicker. The rest seem to be difficult to select during gameplay! The last thing I need is faffing about trying to select a strategy while the Argentine forwards are piling into a ruck/maul, lol.

Still enjoying this game very much. The online play was rough but single player is still enjoyable. It's not perfect but it's as close as we are getting in the near future. I'm in agreement with the strategies; the game is moving too fast for me to focus on them!

 

[Clunk]

I mostly use the same as Gillymore, plus bringing the Fullback into the line, which helps give extra attacking options.

Can be a nightmare if you're turned over though - fiddling around trying to set it to send him back, and whilst you're trying in vain your opposition has found a gap and gone through it...

I’m just thinking guys and this is only a suggestion to the site mods but perhaps Rugby Challenge 1, 2, 3, 4 sub forums and some threads moved in

just to avoid some overlaps
