[QUOTE="kaftka, post: 35632"] Again, I disagree, Rugby 2004 was very ****... But it sold friggen well, which is why they could afford to make it all over again, but with pretty graphics, which they then advertised and promoted, therefore picked up a lot of preorders, and a lot of sales, which therefore means they can afford to throw their money back into it for another mediocre rugby game. Unfortunately, EA/HB aren't very good listeners, but they are very good at deception, which means they'll be giving us orgasms over their pretty new graphics, and 'big hits' and all the while disregarding whatever we say needs improving, and throw us another lemon scented trash heap, which we will all again be clamouring for....Meanwhile, little old Swordfish/UBI, will be creating a little gem called Rugby Challenge 2006, getting minimal public attention, therefore meaning only the hardcore Rugby Game fans who are following its progress will actually go out and purchase it initially, and maybe a few may hire out the only copy at Video Ezy, because all ten EA Sports Rugby 2006 have been hired out. Swordfish will have been outsold by a mediocre game. Do you see the problem? There is a very very small market for rugby gaming, and now is the perfect chance to take advantage of that, and promote their game. If they want to stand any chance with a multi-billion dollar, monopolising, ****** organisation (EA), then they have to get more people to buy their games, and less to buy EA's. The only way to to that is to out-promote Rugby 2006. I believe the reason they aren't doing that, is because Rugby Challenge 2006 is not high on the priority list over at Ubisoft, and the only reason they decided to save it is because it will mean just that little bit of extra money for them in the longrun. They don't really care much for rugby games, but they realise there is a market for it (however small it may be) and decided that they may as well just do it. [/QUOTE]
