[QUOTE="BigTen, post: 125535"] Cam1505, Firstly I agree that EA is dragging the chain when it comes to developing a decent rugby game. By my calculations EA Rugby 2005 was probably the equivalent to FIFA '99 (or maybe just slightly better) and Rugby 2006 was around FIFA 2000. I can't compare it to any of the Madden series as I have not played them enough. But from an EA perspective why release an awesome rugby game now when you can drag five or six versions out and potentially get 5 or 6 times the revenue. Especially as the differences between 05, 06 and 08 are really just basic updates. It's a shame - but it is what happens in a monopoly-like situation. Now back to rugby being the third largest sporting event in the world. My point is that as much as us rugby supporters would like to think that rugby is super popular and that it deserves an awesome game I just don't think that is rated as high internationally as we would like. You asked me if I had proof that rugby was not the third largest sporting event in the world and my answer is quite simply and sadly; yes!

And no matter how many times people say that it is doesn't change the facts. And as to the matter of whether I have no life or not - the sad answer is that I don't have one tonight.
