Well, i made it for '06 because the gameplay is better, the rules are correct and the game is older, so it is truer. It can be converted to '08 but i won't be doing it. The rosters for national teams are based around 1995 RWC and 1996, so teams will have the most iconic or suitable kits. So when you play the game, the rosters will be what they had in 1995 RWC or in 1995.. with some emerging stars from 1996-97 added in like Christian Cullen, Will Greenwood etc.
I could have made teams from specific years, but i didn't see the point.. it'd cut down the amount of teams you can use, and also mess up most of the modes. So i have gone with 1996 kits and with 1995 rosters.. and for classic teams i have added Barbarians (if someone can get me a 1995-96 call-up list for them at that time that'd be handy) Australia 1991, France 1987, NZ 1987 and Lions 1997 (for the Lions Tour)
It's quite complex but most clubs kits are from 1995-1999, after 1999 they became the fashionable style, almost like soccer.. so i ditched that idea. For some teams, i will add a classic kit (the old style, no sponsors) for teams like Ireland and maybe Wales, but there aren't many worth putting in before 1987. I will probably make some anyway so you can add them if you like.
The beauty of the game is that you can swap players directly from the database into the game, so if you wanted to make an older XV or your own XV, those players would be there if they qualified for my database. I will not add players like Carter, McCaw, Wilkinson etc because they are newer players, and this is a retro patch.. so it would have players like Mehrtens, Zinzan and Andrew instead. There will be a lot of club players too, who aren't legends as such, but was part of the national team for 1 cap or something.
ALL the legends of the game will be in the game, the furthest going back will be players like Kyle, McBride, Meads, JPR, Edwards etc.. but you would have to put them in yourself.
This will be an ongoing patch so i can release it early and then keep updating what is missing. I mean, the game has 2005 kits anyway, so it is retro as such until i add all the final graphics.

. That being said I still don't know if there will be custom models made for the legends? It would be great if there was, at least the countries national teams.
