Real Player Names

[gjohn85]

Trev, I bet the legal crap annoys you. It shouldn't be that complicated to license teams, players & likeliness.

Can't think of a non-pervy way of saying this... but think I just bought you in career mode...

Are you a hooker? If so then You start of pretty shite (most players do early on), but I'm training you up... along with other players before anyone starts muttering and jumping to worrying conclusions!

ok sounds like SH was hareder legally than any of us imagined. I think leaving career mode was a good idea

Trev, are the stats based on any kind of real players or just generalised based on the ability of the team in general? Just thinking for editing purposes! So did you have individual players in mind and if so would there be lists of those anywhere?

There were lots of legal issues in the SH after WCR shipped that I cannot talk about. For RC2006 everything had to be randomised that wasn't licensed.

The players stats are based on their positions rather than the individuals that actually play there.

The license restrictions is also the reason that real players cannot be traded in career mode. That was a shame because it would have been great - we actually thought about cutting career because of it, but left it in after much consideration. [/b]

sssssshiiiiitttttt, thats just damn f!@#king suck

but trev, theres a little bit of player likenesses there right? I mean, you can tell that Tuquri, Sailor, Umaga, Spencer are in the game

So the SH teams are NOT COMPLETELY randomised

 

[kaftka]

Hey, you can change positions before the match right? so couldn't they have had a two dreadlocked centres in the extended squad (number 21 or 25 or 22 etc...) for the Wellington team?? If you get where I am going....


Or a New Zealand head gear wearing flanker in the reserves for the Canterbury team? Just a thought...

 

[Paddy]

...huh?

 

[kaftka]

That's exactly what I thought when I re-read my post... Sorry, It's been a hard days night.

Now, what I meant was that star players who are normally starting matches could be put outside the starting line-up with vague but not 100% likenesses couldn't they? That way guys like Umaga sort of could be there, but you have to move him there at the start, rather than having random players...


Still doesn't make sense... Jesus...

 

[esoj]

ea apparently would sue if there even was a slight bit of likeness. hench why swordfish were forced to make gregan white and why figuring out the sh names is like reading it in another language

Umaga is already on the starting line up

Im 100% sure its him because - he has dreadlocks, plays outside centre for Allbacks and Hurricanes

yeh the thing i dont get is, sailor and tuquiri are both black in the game and kinda easily recongnizable. Why didnt they make gregan black then?

Oh... Well that's good... It's just that with all of this controversy about Gregan, I thought that every player would be random...

Gregan sucks anyway.

 

[Paddy]

nah, i dont think their random at all

i mean, you know its xxx but they just dont look like xxx

e.g xxx plays inside centre for AUS and fly half for QLD, his obviously Elton Flatley altho it looks nothing like him and doenst have a head gear

it would be possible to get all the team list for SH national teams, but prolly impossible to get all the super 12 teams unless swordfish release the team list

 

[Muse_Cubed]

Would it be possible to make an external player editor for everything (stats included)? Because that would be rather good...there are quite a few changes that need doing.

 

[raziel_eire]

Tana Umaga = Ugo Touhy

... as prev said is playing outside centre for 'canes and allblacks
