Ive had 5 games of it now or so
Some things really kill the immersion for me, they dont affect gameplay but they really make me feel like its not quite right
firstly, the replays, i dont understand the replays
I run into touch, it shows me a image of the players back, why would it not show me how he went into touch
I kick to touch, it shows me an image of the opposite number 3's back, why is it not showing me the kick
I score a try, it shows 3 angles 90% of the time its from roughly the same angle which im playing the game, why is it not showing me some sort of glory cam, over the shoulder or facing the player from the deadball line, zooming out as hes coming closer
what is the point of have player likenesses if the camera is constantly a million miles away and i cant free roam in the pause menu replays
secondly
the player models, there is one guy in particular on the SA team who has a really odd looking head, almost like a moose, he sticks out like a sore thumb every time the players are running onto the pitch
also everyone appears to have a really long neck, i dont know what it is, just doesnt look right
gameplay
ive tried playing a more forward orientated game like stated on this forum, but the only thing ive noticed is that i can score a try almost every time by doing a side step before i reach the gain line and again when confronting the fullback, pierre spies is quite good at this, but i know this is just because its on easy, which is why they should have given both easy and hardest difficulty
i kinda like the rooking mechanism
everything else is the same as far as i can tell
I agree that the green lines for kicking are too hard to see
I also feel that the gameplay seems a bit slow, i suppose thats more realistic but i liked the speed
At least i dont give away a penalty on every play by tackling the player as he is receiving the ball like in 08 that ****** me off
so in short,
Very similar to 08, more than likely wont buy it
the reason why im not buying it has only a little to do with the graphics or gameplay, its more to do with a lack of world tournament which was the only mode i used in 04, 05, 06 and 08
NOTE:
if someone could give a good explanation of more of the new forward features such as a defensive straife, which i dont know what it is, give me a buzz and ill try it out
