[QUOTE="nickdnz, post: 525814, member: 38640"] I like Rugby Challenge - think it was a good first attempt and I do play it still. But there are plenty that annoy me - 1. Biggest Issue - Licencing. It sucks that New Zealand/Australian players have amazing faces and everyone else looks like they were made from play-doh in comparrison (can't understand why players like Toby Morland have unique faces but Isaia Toeava doesn't). Having a half decent player editor doesn't change this - playing against South Africa is cringe worthy. One thing EA Rugby 06/08 did very well in comparrison is get the licencing to give players from at least 9 international teams unique and accurate likenesses. One of the biggest appeals of those rugby games from this forum's perspective was downloading faces made by talented modders (I see Uli is doing work on SIDHE forums for custom boots/headgear on the PC version). Future games need to have all international teams as licenced, at least the top 15. Also, if I want a player in the French League to play for Fiji, I don't expect licencing restrictions to prevent me from changing. It's my game and I should be allowed to do what I like with it - this restriction made me pretty ****** off. 2. Bugs. This game is still buggy like hell and no one seems to fix it. I play in SR in campaign mode - say with the Crusaders - and if I select Kahn Fotoalii as a replacement for Andy Ellis - it may mean I end up with 2 Kahn's on my screen, or two other players (one without a name) or just miss out on a halfback with DC playing there. It's mental. Players seem to duplicate (especially for some reason if they also are in a PI squad, Mo Schwalger, Fotoalii, Joe Tuineui all seem to duplicate and the problem never goes away no matter if I delete my saves records etc. The game also often crashes at the end of the game, meaning I have to delete game data. It's so buggy! 3.; Game play - why can no one from the opposition ever land a remotely tricky kick at goal, no matter the difficulty? No lasting or exciting career mode (something 06-08 did better). There are quite a bit of positives though. I like how I can edit the passing and so on - so the million knock ons and dropped balls aren't as frequent. Sometimes I feel the gameplay from HB felt more like rugby and was a bit neater - Rugby Challenge can get pretty messy, but I think the graphics are extremely good and the gameplay has a lot of potential. I hope that JLRC2 is launched, ideally without any competition that year so we can get licencing unrestricted. If DL content was made when HB Studios licencing agreement finished, to fix these problems I'd happily fork over some cash. Any idea Milla if a sequal is on the cards? [/QUOTE]
