[QUOTE="Gol, post: 22651"] My biggest issue is boredom, quite frankly single player bores me, as you say, all the tries scored on normal mode are the same, and it gets very frustrating on hard mode turning the ball over repeatedly, then fighting to get field position back only for another turnover, punt and do it all again, until say, a forward commits a basic knock on, or you pass the ball 30 metres backwards. Even multiplayer only frustrates me, so many times players will turn the ball over without reason, forwards taking the ball up next to the ruck, shoulder charge into the tackle, turnover. I'd love to know how it happens, then other times a centre will be tackled, totally isolated, and keep the ball. The level of knock ons, even when the sliders are adjusted, is a joke, players will drop the ball when tackled from behind far too often, and I've found in many games against my mates, the majority of possesion gained is from either offside penalties that we couldn't avoid, or passes going backwards from the ruck 30 or 40 yards. That's right, our best attacking move is wait until the passing engine f***s up. Don't get me started on how easy it is (and effective it is) to rush out of the line and belt the crap out of the first or second receiver, how easy it is to run across the line following the passes in defense, making spreading the ball very difficult, and how dodgy some of the outside backs AI can be. The game is a great base for future games, and I can play one or two games at a time before frustration and/or boredom sets in, but I still now play a lot of games of Rugby League, particularly multiplayer on PC, and even with the massive flaws that game has, at least when it works well it is fun. Rugby 2005 can be fun, but the frustration just seems to override the joy of playing the game more often than not. [/QUOTE]
