[QUOTE="j.simpson-daniel, post: 125523"] I've said it from day one, EA rugby is disappointing not because they have the money to develop a decent game but because half the code is already there and requires modification from the madden series. As a fan of madden, although there are still room for improvements, the running game with sidesteps, hand offs, shimmys and wot not, along with their collision detection system for the big hits (including the soon to be revealed gang tackling in madden 08) would be perfect for rugby. im not a programmer so im aware its not as simple as im making it sound, but surely EA's resources woudl be better used into modifying an engine already proven than creating one off the woefully inadaquate fifa series, which most footy fans will tell u is outshine in every way by konamis engine. i do not buy the argument that rugby won't sell as muhc therefore we should be happy wiht what we have got; that's one of the reasons itself why EA can release a shoddy update as a new game and expect fans to lap it up year after year. Fact is, although the rugby series has improved slightly every yr, the game is still poor and bares little resemblance to the game we all love (which genius was behind the rucking system?). Create a DECENT game with ONLINE options and then make evaluations based on sales and profits. Hell, its one month away from release and theres not even a website, lol [/QUOTE]
