Rugby 08 video thread

Hey Lox, have you gone through the tutorial yet?. Is it the same as last years, if not what is new to do?, perhaps some new hidden gameplay features in there. Wishful thinking..... [/b]

It is easier to get kicks away in this game and it doesnt seem to knock on anywhere near as much as in 06. I went for a kick as someone was charging down and I thought " crap knock on here " and I couldnt believe it when the kick was got away. So thats better to be fair.



Jumping is pap in 06. You can get it everytime from the kickoff and all you have to do to score is put a bomb up over the goal line and its a try because the AI never contest. I had to ban short kick offs and no bombs in the opponents 20m or the game was ruined really.

BTW Im almost positive that the videos were shot on pro. Lox's is a big girl and doesnt play on elite, dont know why, he mullered me last time we played. But now im stronger and better than ever. Bring it on ***** ;) [/b]

Ha ha ha ha! I only play it on Pro so I can get the hang of it. I can't defend for toffee on this game.



I did however play one game, australia v south africa on elite. 5 minute halves, 1st half side cam, 2nd half hover cam and I really enjoyed it.



Won't tell you the score cos the vid will be on youtube sometime today! ;)
 
Good lord what is happening with that Japanese backline!!! They all bunch at the ruck leaving the winger out by himself. This creates a midfield gap that dwarfs the 06 problem. There literally a 4 man overlap!Its a free try every time you go wide.......unless of course your locksley. :)
 
Do the players knock the ball on if they're out of position?

anyways great video, and yeah that defensive line sucks, why can't they adopt a man on type defense? wouldn't that eliminate gaps?

good to see the view while the kicks go over the goal post are better that the one in 06 (the kick, switch to behind the post view)

the first camera view aint so bad lol still rather have the side on tho
 
cheers lox



great to see the vids. think we all know what the game will be like, most will buy it im sure. hope 09 has a lot more added to it tho.



1 question. can players play anywhere? was bored if i couldnt get a centre to fill an injury and all he did was knock it on all the time! lox?



oh and who was the nz winger with a star? joe?
 
I second that, looking forward to your game on elite! Any chancew you could have a few more games on elite and tell us what its like?



Thanks

I definately think elite is a little easier than on 06 because you do seemed to get turned over that little bit less. I dont really see much of an improvement in the AI attack really and if anything I think they are a little easier to handle. Im just not feeling the pressure of territory as I was in 06 to be honest.
 
Thanks for the feedback! Doesn't look very promising, had hopes they might have made the game a bit more challenging. Does the game 'feel' like 06? I got bored of single player because each game felt the same as the last. Is this the same with 08 or is there a bit more depth and variety to keep us interested? Cheers
 
hey longtime no see ha,,,,um looks like the defense kinda improved..they actually rush up well japan did...well thats all im lookin out for, the defense and the rucks...ya..looks good
 
you always do this when i am at work and i cant look at youtube, i liked last time when you hosted them :p
 
thanks for the vid, lox.



wow, no lie about retaining the ball. quite one-sided.



i'm still definitely getting it though.
 
It raining

Hey thanks for the new vid, the game looks the same pretty much to me, was quite impressed by the outside break that south Africa did on their first touch of the ball, maybe there is a slight improvement with the AI from 06.
 
i think the graphis are much more defined. the players seem more weighty!!

defo improvement!!

and just by looking at that i thought the ai seemed a little more intelligent in attack, seemed to cut lines well and pass at just about the right times, and seemed to want to take on the full back at the end rather than running straight at him.
 
<div class='quotemain'> stadiums look flash lol

IMO i think the graphics has gone down a notch, maybe because it's u-tube. [/b]

i 2nd that
 
I love the ea rugby games but i see one major problem. From what i understand of the rules of rugby if a ruck is formed and those entering the ruck go in straight off their feet and over the ball it is a penalty... so why is it always shown when you secure a ball in the ruck a team mate runs in and dives over the ball and goes straight to ground?

Please advise me if i have got the rule wrong or if EA keep missing this?
