<div class='quotemain'> <div class='quotemain'> <div class='quotemain'> <div class='quotemain'> Mind you everyone was saying how crap it was going to be only a week ago.
How they hadn't changed enough and how it was '06 with a new front end. Now all those who said that have flip-flopped, and they still haven't seen the game!!!
If you aren't one of the silly run-off-at-the-mouth people, and are waiting to make judgement when the game comes out, then please accept my grateful respect! [/b]
Speaking of running off at the mouth.
Jeez m8 dont take it to heart, people have said a lot of things and last time I checked thats what forums are all about.
I still think this game will be a quick cash in. They wouldnt be mentioning **** like creative scoring if they had done anything useful like tweak the AI etc.
The screenshots tell me nothing bar the fact they have picked a naff looking font.

I find it really funny if you think I'm taking it to heart, Knowsley
. Once again, I know what forums are all about. This is just my response to some of the opinion.
It wasn't aimed at you or anyone in particular. It must be yourself who has taken it to heart, as you are responding as though I were talking to you. Is that correct? Well, read your reply to me. :blink:
The fact that I stated "people" should tell you I am fully aware you are not refering to me directly. I will be clearer next time and produce a list of users I believe your post is aimed at.
I think my whole point can be summed up thusly. This is my best shot at putting my opinion so you might get it a little better
I am feeling quite amused about a sector of the rugby gaming market, who make what sound like to me final judgements on aspects of a game which they have
never played. This is not necessarily you, Knowsley. You probably feel like it is for some reason.
I love it when you try to have a dig while trying vainly to make it look like it isnt. Its laughable.
I believe people deserve to be given a bit of scrutiny for comments which deal in almost absolute conclusion, like:
To be fair, who are you to scrutinise people on a public forum unless they are insulting or causing distress to others, in which case you would be justified to use your powers of moderation.
(Example of types of comments, not actual)
This game is gonna be '06 with new rosters only.
Creative scoring? I don't know what they mean exactly, but I hate it.
I'm pretty certain that they'll have added nothing to the gameplay of any merit.
The AI will be exactly the same as last time.
I know this is a forum and have nothing against more opinion or guess type comments, like:
This game could be '06 with new rosters only.
Creative scoring. I don't know yet, but it sounds like cobblers to me.
My gut feeling is telling me that they'll have added nothing to the gameplay of any merit.
I reckon the AI is likely to be exactly the same as last time.
So now we have to precede our sentences with " I think " or " I strongly believe " etc and that makes it acceptable?
People say all sorts of things, but I have to laugh when there are claims of certainty before the controller is ever picked up.
Yes, it could be crap, the same or slightly better. I just aren't jumping on either bandwagon yet.
By the way you must be getting a little tired of waiting for your source to come back from the sahara.
My sources I think on past performance shouldnt really be under question. I however cannot control delays that are even possibly outside of EA's control. If I get information about the product before it becomes common knowledge then it will as always be posted on here by either myself or loxley at the earliest opportunity.
Who'm I to talk though, my source returns on July 20th.......ish. :mellow:

I can't believe anybody is questioning knowsley's sources. Every single rugby game I can remember has had exclusive footage/reviews from Knowsley & Lox - they could always keep it to themselves if that's what you would prefer. Wait till July 20 and decide for yourself if its better than 06

Without bothering to go into everything else Knowsley said to me, I never questioned his sources. I just asked when they were getting back from the Sahara. Which infers in my mind that they have been away a long time and was a joke that maybe they've dried up a bit.
Where have I questioned them?
I guess imagining things about what I say is the way to go. Also, surely no-one is above copping a bit of banter or comment on the forum. I assume game info sources, like the guys who put up the box shots, are not doing it for hero-worship.
I'm not asking this to be a smart-ass, but has info for Rugby Challenge 2006, Rugby 2001, Jonah's and all the rest been delivered by the two boys in question? If so, I'm hugely impressed.
Also, Knowsley,
To be fair, who are you to scrutinise people on a public forum unless they are insulting or causing distress to others, in which case you would be justified to use your powers of moderation. ????
I use the word scrutinise to infer close examination. If I want to do that I can. It does not mean that I am wanting to tell people what to post. I am not just a moderator, I'm also a regular member. Moderation is a seperate hat I wear here. I'd never allow my personal feelings to interfere in that role.
