Prior to releasing information on the official, more serious details of Rugby 2012, we have been given special access to the less important, but still fun novelty statistics and features for Rugby 2012.

"In recently relayed information, we can now reveal that some rather surprising special features will be included either as unlockables or regular features in the new HB Studios Rugby 2012 game".

Here is some of the new information relayed to TRF:



Between international and club teams, the game will feature 72 fully-licensed teams and 60 unlicensed.

42 Stadia from around the world, with an unlockable "wobbly goal posts" and "super wind" mode available at some.

Remove a player mode - For off-line multi-player, where each time you score a try, your opposition can remove one player, but must leave the fly-half till last.

Shuffle The Squads - A random draft of the top 100 players for club comps or countries!

Human Ref - An opportunity for a third player in multi-player games to make the hard calls whenever he likes (Off-line only).

(Unlockable) Fast growing grass mode. By full-time your boys will almost have lost each other in the over-growth!

Hot Potato Mode - Any player who holds the ball in his hand and runs for more than 2 seconds will begin draining his stamina for the whole game period until he passes!


It seems to us here that due to the delay in information, we've been given these as a fun distraction to tide us over until more seriously important details can be released. Further information on this update will be released at 12 noon April 1.
 
Seriously

The Human ref and 'Remove a player' modes sound interesting to say the least.

It has just struck me that this game is going to be released this year, it wasn't all to long ago that people were raging about the decision to bring out a 2012 game and not 2011
 
Honestly you guys? dont you have calendars? Because damn if they ain't giving away some fine looking Rugby calendars out with this when it releases!
 
haha yeah because that is certainly true, 12 noon on april 1st, think we all know what that means

We have deliberately withheld this half of the information for the last 2 days and delivered it only now, because of the irresistible irony that at this time many will be doubters. Rightly so, or not?
 
Sounds brilliant!! About time an update came out. The ref feature sounds brilliant.
The most interesting point is the 72 licensed teams?? Gonna have a good few licenses. In fact that is a lot of licenses. And 60 other teams.

I had almost given up but this has rekindled my interest.
 
Cant wait to see what the 'further information on this release' will be, perhaps someone saying April fools?
