[QUOTE="locksley, post: 122710"] Couple more points. Good! Attacking play is great, I'd say 20-30% better than 06 and certainly no worse. Kicking in general play feels better Good crowd sounds even singing "It's a long way to the tryline" ha ha Forwards run onto the ball better Quicker set plays Less frequent turnovers, even when isolated out wide. AI far better than 06, the AI actually puts some thought into attacks and defend like trojans, especially on their own line. "Weighty" players. More momentum, not as light and floaty. Great "TV style" replays of certain action. Bad Camera angles...yuck! Side view fans will love their view but classic 2 fans will feel ill. Defending is atrocious on the end to end views cos the camera doesn't switch behind the attacking team. STILL animation routines kick in so you can't squeeze passes away at the last second. Drop Goals are horrible! There's a new meter and you have to stop it dead in the middle to drop a goal. it's crap! I knocked on due to a high tackle. The ref sent the tackler off, but gave the scrum to the defending side for the knock on!!!! WTF Gap between center and wing STILL there! ALL the players STILL follow the ball carrier There's a distinct whiff of Rugby 2004-ness to the graphics at certain points. It's VERY similar to Rugby 06, and is a complete cash in. Creative scoring????? I'm flummoxed as to what the hell that's all about??? Same commentary, same comments! I really can't make my mind up with this. When I've got the ball in hand, the game's a joy to play, however, when defending i HATE it. I loved defending in rugby 06 as much as attacking, but I cannot get to grips with it in 08 due to the bloody stupid camera angles. Why did they change it?????????????? I'll add more when I've played more [/QUOTE]
