Rugby 2007 cancelled?

[melon]

There won't be a Rugby 2007. If it's released later this year, then it will be called Rugby 2008.

Yeah the original "Rugby" for PS2 is still my fav. No other version has come close for the cross-field kick to wing move.

....My copy is signed by Lote Tuquiri the day after he made the switch from league.

phat! is that the game where you could edit the team names, player names and even have custom uniforms? i think i had that on PC. and when u got into a ruck you had to push the side arrows to ruck the ball out, and they even had backline moves!
man, where cud i get that game again!
one of the best rugby games i thought..

I think this thread is now best locked before it goes any further downhill. In the future please keep your posts here civil and constructive. And to reiterate, the Rugby series from EA has certainly not, to my knowledge, been cancelled however we have no announcement to make about its future at this time.

I'm pretty sure we aren't debating whether or not the EA rugby series is being cancelled, we are debating whether Rugby 2007 has been cancelled.

I am just the messenger calm down. as to what this means with regards to a game in 2007 that is what your job is to decide.

my view is that ea themselves are still unsure but have hb working on a rugby game anyway so that if they choose to release this year then they can. it is the world cup this year so I would be suprised if we heard nothing from ea about a game at some point this year. it may not release this year but I think they would release news about a game at some point to take advantage of the world cup.

TBH - I see a World Cup Edition

No 2007, No 2008 - No world league

I see a Fifa like World cup Edition...quick bandaid solution for quick funds whilst the transition between generations of consoles is in full flight.

If they market it well, and even perhaps throw in the World Cup qualifyers - they dont really have to improve on 2006.

Zero costs
healthy returns on sales on RWC hype
= maximised profits

If they do that the only real significant costs are the reprinting and distribution of the game....as the mechanics are the same as 2006.
It will still sell - we rugby religious, we are gamers, we will buy

From a money making perspective - Its the best option
