Giving In To The Fact Im Gutted !

[CeeJay]

Parore, when i try to buy players that i cant afford it will not allow me to proceed, how did you get all these players on your team? How much is the salary cap?

 

[esoj]

i think its 3.5 mill or something. my franchise is going well into second season and have already signed most of the squad back up. I will proabbly lose the players i haven't signed as i onlly have just over 70 grand left and they all want more than I am offering. this isn't too bad though as i am very pleased at having signed almost everyone up execpt for 3 players. jones re-signed for like 315 so thats good. i got a few to sign a for a bit less than market value. I paid heaps of anderson last year like 240 so the effect of that is coming in this year. vuna is turning out to be an awesome centre he has great pace

i must remember to turn the aglity and passin up,

Salary cap for franchise is set at the level of the team with the highest salaries cost in the first year of franchise............hence if you "stack" your team with superstars during the first year then you'll find that for the second year the other teams will have extra money to burn to reach your salary level.

I just palyed five 20 minute games with the settings at what you hav them ride the cliche, and I noticed two things, I no longer scored any runnaway tries, and the opposition failed to score any tries at all, including a game against aussie with the kiwis, I won 26 nil.The increase in speed allowed my players to mow down the opposition too easily! You are playing on legend right? Im going back to my old settings, maybe i will tweek the acceleration as i did notice guys going through gaps quicker.

I would encourage everyone else to hav a play around with the sliders and find what is best for them, but if you find things are going wrong and youre never winning, or winning too much, try my settings. I spent sooooo long playing around with these sliders at all the different settings, and i think i found the most cosistent.

Interesting..............and the sliders supposidly work in both teams favour??, makes you wonder..........(playing seasoned mode at present).

How do i know what the salary cap is, It says i hav 63 000 left, but when offer a a cheap free agent a 61 000 it says i will exceed my salary cap. WTF.

Right, I have spent almost the entire day playing Rugby League 2, and I can now decide that I really like it.

The thing with this game is that it is very customisable â€" you can even turn up or down knock ons. Sadly, I do have some issues with the game that stop it being completely brilliant.

I’ll get the bad out of the way.

1) I haven’t played any Aussie games yet, but there’s a lot of laziness with Super League stuff. EG the home team often appears in their away strip if there’s a clash. Also, Warrington still playing at Wilderspool â€" there’s no excuse for that, that’s just lazy.

2) You can’t pick your own Origin teams. Why?

3) Stupidity from your own players, catching it on the line. SIDHE must invest in a button like Pro Evo, that you can push and your player backs away from the ball.

4) Slow menu loading times â€" not exactly the biggest problem on Earth but it is very much a nuisance.

But there is so much that’s great about this game. First and foremost, it looks GREAT. It really does look mega realistic. The kits are excellent, that stadiums are excellent, most of the players are excellent. Top notch, SIDHE.

OK, so there are some gameplay and control issues â€" the turning circles being one of them, passes behind men, but other than what’s been mentioned by others I can’t really see anything that grates on me too much.

 

[CeeJay]

You can actually scale knock ons, you can turn them off, or on, and thats it. The same goes for injuries. This is real stupi as they are two things that really impact the gae, but you dont want them off, just scaled down a bit. This game is not nearly as custmisable as you think, most fo the sliders produce viod results because they apply to bothe u and the ai, speed, passing, agility and acceleration are the only ones that make a noticible difference. Having said that he sliders did save this game for me

but sidhe should get no pats on the back for it.

 

[Wally]

Does anyone know if there is going to be an offical or unofficial controller configuration patch released?

 

[esoj]

last i heard Sidhe are thinking of making a patch and controller config for the pc will be considered if a patch is made

 

[CeeJay]

Oops, i meant you CANT actually scale knock ons.

 

[woosaah]

yeah we figured that

if you have a special player that you dont want to get injured you can change his stats in the rldatabase so he will never get injured (or your whole team if you dont want injuries for your team at all)

i know thats cheating

but who cares really

 

[CeeJay]

I was just havin a read over at the RL2 forums, and Mario just threatened to ban some guy for suggesting that sidhe were lazy! I find this quite amusing considering there is evidence of Laziness littered throughout this game! Mario also said "feel free to insult us anywhere but in our own house" Well maybe, but the whole point of a forum is for people to say what they think good and bad, and i think sidhe need to hear the bad if RL3 is going to shine. There should be no tolerence for abuse in a forum, but calling sidhe lazy is not abuse. People hav payed good money for this game, and hav the right to call it how they see it.

 

[woosaah]

yeah he is a bit fast to jump the gun, look what happened here when he couldn't take the abuse, though i dont blame him for leaving i just wish he would come back here.

I hav speed at plus 20 and acceleration at plus 10, I played around with these alot, and found that while it does affect both u and the ai,the ai always has a slight advantage, the more u go up, the more advantage that seems to shift to the ai,

so with this do you reckon if we scaled down into the negative it would have the reverse effect, and the ai woul dget even slower???

i adjusted my sliders close to yours and cliches

had tonnes more fun

and i discovered the l1, r1 change player in the backline during the play the ball, and the whole game opened up again for me

i am still loving it

tuff games....great randomness with the outcome of each game....this game does not have a monotinous tone at all........each game plays different, and i really love that

 

[CeeJay]

If you scale them down it all goes bad, it takes you like ten taps just to ge the speed burst going, and ieverything goes at snails pace, i found it awful.

i dunno whats funnier

the fact mario cant face a bit of slack

or that the delay was meant to deliver a perfect game, iron out all issues

yet pc version has controller issues
we have seen a few glitches
game wont work on chipped ps2's
pirates can play online

well there are many control gaps at sidhe............thus yes they are LAZY!!!

although a better game than i thought i was getting

but still not a 9/10 as per magazines.........what drugs are they on, coz i want some

edit: OH YEAH I FORGOT ABOUT THE RIGHT FOOTED COVELL.............I guess he is ampidextrous (spelling?)

Fools

 

[woosaah]

ahh change the right foot to left, its no that hard (if you have pc vers but i am guessing you dont)

i had a crazy bug yesterday, the computer was going in for a try, but instead of putting the ball down or diving he decided to do a dummy and ran over the dead ball line. i was going "whew" as i was down by a try already. but they gave him a try.

looked at the replay he dummied and the ball just stayed in mid air not doing anything it was odd.

wrong animation there guys and the ball floating damn

that cracked me up though

 

[CeeJay]

I had the same thing, he did a dummy while he was diving over the line rsulting in him headbutting the ground and sliding along on his forehead, he still got a try and it was pretty funny. But you cant help but think that the list of bugs is getting awful long!!

 

[esoj]

i wouldn't complain about sidhe forum as the ea forum a few years back got shut down because of cricticisim about their games. sure it would be nice for sidhe to allow almost anything to go but ultimately it is their forum and they can do what they like with it and the fact they have forums is a miracle in itself.

the delay was to fix some bugs or something wrong with the game but not the whole delay was them tweaking the game. for all we know they may have only spent a month fixing something and the rest could of been HES/tru blu deciding on a release date. sure a perfect game would have been good but no game ships without bugs and rl 2 is no different. this does not mean that things like being able to configure controller should be left out. i had a friend over today and he is not stranger to sports games or keyboard controls but during our matches he was wishing he could change the controls. sidhe have failed on some things but to expect a perfect game is wrong

Just for the record pirates can not play online. There's an in-built CD key or some horse ****.
