Sidhe's Rugby Challenge

[TRF_Olyy]

So who's got the game rriiigghhtt now?. I could have picked mine up today but don't have the money damn it. Roll on payday. Whats this talk of normalised stats online. I don't get?

When you play online the ratings are all equalised, so the All Blacks will play as well as Georgia who will play as well as Toulouse who will play as well as Melbourne Rebels etc.

tbh sale sharks wont even be beating worcester yet alone the all blacks

I pre-ordered my copy of the game, yesterday I got a confirmation e-mail that it will be delivered on the 8th of September! yay!

the bonus was I get a rugby ball signed by Percy Montgomery as well as a copy of his book for free! booyah! (it's also cheaper than buying it in stores for some strange reason).

I havnt played it. but from what i understand, to get the ball beyond the forward standing off the ruck you gotta use the more advanced passing.

what is done by either holding down the pass button to skip players.
or holding the pass button and pressing the face button that corrisponds to which player.

if you havnt yet, give those two things a try and see what ya get.
if you have tried that then i have no idea xD

The ***le of that video clip is wrong... I like the boks fake jersey's, it looks a bit like their training jersey's they had during the Tri-nations.

Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay. Spose they had to do something stupid eventually. Thats just a dumb move IMO, hope rugby 2011 don't do the same.

graphics look good.
gameplay looks arcadey, especially with slo-mo at the lineout etc... i wonder if you can get it to side on cam.
i hope they've got a normal version of the Boks kit.

I dunno - It kind of makes sense, but then what's the point in having the licenses etc. for online, when Tony Buckley is as good as *good prop* in the scrum, and Sonny Bill Williams is as good as Shontayne Hape, etc.

Private matches will have the "real" stats from offline which appear to be SH dominated (for clubs) it appears the majority of NH rugby teams are ITM standard highest

Nah even in private matches all stats are normalised

Hmm Mario said private matches weren't :/

Then he came back and said he made a mistake and even private matches were

 

[TrueSlawter]

Ah, didnt see that part, takes the **** tbh, just hoping the other guys in my uni halls like rugby then xD

 

[TRF_Cymro]

I'm, going to the bank in a bit and will pop into game, gamestation and a independant chain, 2 weeks ago though Gamestation didnt even know the game existed.

What are your findings sir?

 

[abczyx]

Mario confirmed that it's standardized ratings for all online modes (ranked and un-ranked): Post #129 of the thread over on the Sidhe Forums

I know, I'm just saying I think that they shouldn't be for unranked.

Game were unsure (couldnt see anything in their book) but a guy did know it was "out soon", Same response from Gamestation... aka "there are 2 rugby games coming out?"
