Rugby World Cup 2011 Official Game

[TRF_Ezequiel]

If this game only features the World Cup (like the FIFA World Cup games by EA Sports) it is definitely not worth paying 60 euro's for. If this is just a World Cup game and another game is published later on with club/provincial teams I can understand but having only 20 teams will definitely not make it a game to remember.

I should add for international competitions, qualifying series would be awesome!! Take Portugal from the ENC to the world cup final.

 

[scottish piper]

So is there only going to be 20 teams if so i will still buy it but i was looking forward to playing club rugby on it to.

August 26th...looks like I won't be getting fifa 12 then lol!

 

[Zoso]

so this means all 20 competing teams will be fully licensed ?

probably only New Zealand and Australia will not licensed

 

[irishguy]

Game sounds great!!!! I am disappointed about licensing and no clubs. Im delighted about online. Im also sickened about the release date,i was hoping it'd be a week earlier,before i go back to school........yuck!

Looking forward to the game though!

i mean 20 teams for a game is not good:mellow: and rugby challenge has many more

 

[DorceOutSide]

Surely a game isn't just about licences, its got to be about gameplay...

Fifa vs Pro Evo comes to mind!

 

[Teh Mite]

TBF, by the sounds of things so far one game has 18 licences and one game has 12... More thinking should occur anyone before complains too hard!!!! :lol:

 

[Amobokoboko]

Date sett in stone.

 

[ospreys86]

So we are not gonna get a game with the magners and super rugby competitons then?

the world cup will be awesome to play but we also need a game with domestic competitons aswell,
theres enough shitty fifa games out there so why not a rugby game in the style of the fifa franchise?

I hear Cymro coming this way to tell you this is not an EA Sports game

 

[TrueSlawter]

Sounds good hoping the RWC licence includes NZ and Aus but looks like i'll be getting both, RWC2011 for the WC and Rugby challenege for everything else

 

[jim546]

There'll probably be a workaround for the NZ-Aussie teams. Take cricket for example, EA hold licenses for the World Cup, yet the Codemasters games still featured England and Australia from their Ashes licenses, along with their grounds and alternate kits. The licenses may be the same.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

I was thinking there could be a loophole with kits because specific WC kits will be released for the WC (with the IRB logo on and no sponsors etc.) so these might not be included in the original deal

Who knows though, all speculation - guess we'll find out in August

Damn straight.

This is not an EA game but a HB / 505 production.

 

[lucky number 7]

Damn straight.

This is not an EA game but a HB / 505 production.

And once again the balance of the universe is restored

i don't want to buy 2 games just to have all the world cup teams licensed hahahah jk i was looking for a reason to buy both . but still cant wait for a rugby game especially with ireland probaly being one of those licensed teams
