[QUOTE="locksley, post: 12036"] Ok, I've played this game to death for a couple of weeks, and here's my nitpicking. Don't be too disheartened if the list seems long, it's just that I'm trying to add as many problems as possible, no matter how trivial, so that you get a better picture! Make no mistake about it, even tho there are lots of things on my list, I still stand by my RUGBY 2005 review.... it's the best Rugby game out there! Tackling animations kicking in just as you're going to pass! This makes it very frustrating when you want to draw the man in before passing, only to find that you can't pass the ball cos the AI tackler is about to make a tackle! Doesn't happen all the time, but highly frsutrating when it does! No offloads Up and Unders are next too useless Jump Button seems "Tacked" on! Added as an afterthought! If you make a break down the wing and get tackled near the tryline, 99% of the time, the defending team will get a turnover! AI set plays are a little too hard to defend against! If you know what you're doing, it's far too easy to run through the whole team with just one man! (AI only, NOT Multiplayer) Steps/fends/Charges etc aren't [i]really[/i] needed. However, when you do make breaks and shrug tacklers off, they feel and look great. Too easy to lose lineouts/scrums, even on your throw/put in against the AI! AI seems to cheat sometimes! ie, I was beating Australia 5-0 with 77 minutes on the clock, they kicked off to me, caught the ball and ran through the whole of my team before scoring under the sticks, and adding the extras to win 7-5 on 80 minutes! I don't know why, but it felt like no matter what I did, they would've [i]still[/i] scored that try and goal! Recievers standing still after getting the ball from a ruck! (NRL had this problem too, albeit much worse) Commentary is rubbish! Better than 04, but that's not saying much! Ball physics after a punt downfield are strange to say the least Cut out passes aren't as quick as I'd like, they sort of "Float"! Apart from holding out for your set play icon above the scrum halfs head to flash, rucks are still a touch on the automatic side! The AI can push Mauls for yards, I can't push a maul an inch!!!! This may just be me tho, and not the game at fault! If your attacking line isn't quite set when the ball's passed, it'll not be picked up by anyone and will end up 50 yards back towards your own line! Again, with experience this doesn't happen often, but for your first few games it'll be happening with extreme regularity! The camera Angle choice is pathetic Not enough set play choices, just classic, pivot, switch and pocket It [i]does[/i] have a 2004 feel to it.... but it's a million miles from that game! That'll do for now! [/QUOTE]
