Yeah guys - patent the idea and then no studio will be able to put this into the game. Even if you'd offer to let them use your idea they wouldn't pay you for it and all us gamers would have to suffer without the idea.
Yeah I was joking.
Also, I was just thinking about it before, and the L2 button was always mostly unused wasn't it? Hard to remember, but every button should have a decent purpose, so why not use it as a 'Shift' button.
What I mean is, for example, you hold it in, and use the right stick to fend. This way you can fend the guy in front, behind you, or the guy who is most likely to tackle you. Too many times in Rugby 2005 I pulled back on the stick only to be tackled by the guy to my right whilst fernding off the guy in front. Of course, not all people will like this system, so that's why you have a fend button (a la stiff arm in Madden) which could be circle. But isn't that a kick button? I think so, but why do you need all four face buttons for kicking? You don't. X=Punt, Square=drop goal, Triangle=grubber. X+L2=Up'n'under, Triangle+L2=chip kick. Quite simple really.
Adding to the right stick thing, clicking it in could make them shield the ball by wrapping it in their arms on attack, and attemp to steal it on defence.
Eg. short pass to forward, then hold both sticks forwards, clicking right stick in and R2, and you will have a proper attempt at busting through the middle. [/b]
