[QUOTE="NZL Fan, post: 7200"] I actually agree with my American friend above......... EA will make leaps and bounds in terms of graphics (due to the FIFA engine) over the next couple of years, but unless HB studios start listening to the rugby gaming public (or are given the boot) it will take at least till 2007 to get anything remotely right gameplay wise...... Swordfish seem to be developing an arcade style of rugby game, which will never satisfy the real rugby gaming fanatic. In fact sports games in general are going more towards realism due to the success of games like the PES series, and I wonder if they are heading down a blind alley with their approach. By not providing a realistic gameplay option they are missing out on a whole lot of potential customers (like me). I'm actually more excited by their Brian Lara cricket project with Codemasters........ SIDHE I think have the right people at the top to get things right the quickest. Their first effort (with budget constraints, and with no previous sports game experience) was stunning compared to anything HB studios has produced, and with their approach of getting direct feedback from the customers my bet is on them to produce the first truly great rugby game on a new generation console. Their second SJRL should see the gameplay improve considerably (available early 2006 perhaps??). [/QUOTE]
