[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 1000055, member: 40658"] I hear you. And you do have valid points to make here. But surely if the sport is growing as much as it is the past couple of years, then surely the market for a game would also grow? Has any of the game developers done the market research on this the past 5 years or so? The reason why the sales of these games are so poor, is because the marketing of the games are non-existent. There is definitely a hunger to have a proper, well engineered, finished product. But the morale of the rugby gamers are so low, because the companies making the current crop, just keeps on dishing out the same crappy stuff, and just edits a few things here and there, and expect the public to pay big bucks for a below par product. The reason why people are mentioning these games you listed above (mostly FIFA and Madden), is because they continuously improve their games, and continuously sell the product to the masses. I know Rugby might not have such a big following as these sports have, and the funding does play a major role, I get that. The suggestion was that EA has the models already in place, and they can use these models as a basis to work from, and take it from there. By saying this, a Company like EA, can save a lot of money. But If they don't want to do it, we will have to look at maybe PES, 2K Sports, Acitvision or even some Japanese companies on the bandwagon especially after the success of last year's world cup in Japan. The only way any South African would know that RC4 is out now, is if they are on this forum, or follows RC on facebook. THAT"S IT. It's not showing or premiering on PSN, you have to search for it specifically, to even see it. [/QUOTE]
