Players look great.......
Hope the camera isn't five miles away this time so we can appreciate it...hehe.
Their first effort was good - very playable for a period.....BUT remember.....
1. Randomness of reckless tackle charges and sin bins despite perfect timing of tackle etc......computer doingit when you finally get on a run of not.
2. Slow start (worse than anything Rugby 2005 vids have dished up) of runners.
3. The old hold up in goal.....
4. step away as being chased shouldn't be so easy to perform (feels good tho)
5. Couldn't defend too much from dummy half....too slow.
6. Side view angle not executed well enough (was fixed on near sideline so got either too close or, and this is a big gripe, f***ing MILES away!!! On a small tv it would be mind-bending!
7. Kick-off cheat (well skill I suppose but I find it too easy to pull-off...about two out of three times anyway....) to get ball back at scrum...
8. Running the HB from the scrum anywhere in their red-zone will almost inevitable result in a Jones try! Feels like cheating...but is unavoidable.
9. Ball when passed follows the runner!? As if the game is being played in the midst of a hurricane!!?
10. Chumps getting the ball on last tackle - quite random positioning....but I know the new game has changed this (option to go to playmaker button...nice.)
You could tell playing it tho (and I pulled it out again recently) that it needs only better graphics and the odd tweak to be out of this world. Fix the above and we're away laughing!!
What a great year for sports ***les!!
