[QUOTE="Teh Mite, post: 349288, member: 12332"] If stats and records are all that matter to you, buy a book. I get the impression you don't understand this is supposed to be a VIDEO GAME, not a historical document. I couldn't care less that New Zealand are in a run of form in real life, nor does it matter that Ireland are way off the boil, this is supposed a game with lots of choice for the gameplay experience, not a device for sucking up to anyone or masaging your ego. You ever noticed (for example) on a Formula 1 game it's possible to win on hard mode even with a supposedly slow team? That's because the balence the gameplahy for the player. That's how it works - If they went for "realism", you wouldn't stand a chance of winning. A realistic rugby game would mean we'd spend 40 of the game not doing anything, have endless reset scrums, ping-pong kicking contests ( you can f right off if you're going to reply that only NH teams do that n'all) and the option to issude desth threats to the ref after beating up the wif. Yawn. Then bare in mind that the NPC teams would never bother tackling, the French would never play because they're perminantly fighting, Wasps would have uncontested scrums every match, the Celts would never play a full strength team, the Super 14 lot would play in empty stadia for half the season and the zworld cup mode could only be played drunk in the middle of the night. One more thing - If you make a team have a clear cut advantage over the rest, that means that every ******* online game you play for the rest of eternity will be "New Zealand vs New Zealand", which will ware thin very quickly. Lets have something designed to be fun, thankyou very much. Not the perfect simulation, which in all honesty would be boring as sin - I dor one would rather get that by standing on the terrace with a guinness in my hand or record the weekends matches and watch them later in the week. I doubt I'm the only one. [/QUOTE]
