What im saying is, if its the best gameplay but with no options such as a career, the game will not be worth purchasing.

Shute SHield would be mad, however i think its unrealistic for them to develop it

 

[Dizzy]

I agree we can have the best gameplay ever which is what we want basicly.. but without a career mode or good competitions to add replay value, then it's not gonna be good especially if we have to wait another 4 years until another game comes out

One thing that would greatly add to the realism of the game, as well as making the general graphics side look good would perhaps be blood substitutions, players with clearly visible wounds, who then have to be substituted, afterall i think lewis moody has spent 90% of his career with blood pouring down him after tackling another apponent with his face.

Great idea! especially to have specific players needing the blood bin more... Stephen Moore is another classic example

well they can add all the other stuff next year.. all im saying is they should focus on gameplay, and then if they do a good job of that they wont need to tinker with it very much for next years game and can add in the extras. I'm sure they will have the main competitions and a season mode I just think 'be a pro' and all that like fifa and madden can wait until they nail the actual game part of it.

The basketball games are a good example. NBA 2k games always had shocking menu screens and limited franchise modes compared to the NBA live series which always had a bunch of extras. But the 2k games were a better game to play and became more popular, which in turn made EA overhaul it's engine to try play catch up while 2K tweaked it's gameplay and now has great extras as well as great gameplay.

I've said my piece anyway but gameplay first, and if any leftover time/money, extra stuff 2nd.

a few things i would like to see is the ability to throw to 4 or 6 in the lineout and still have the ability to create a maul or if you prefer throw to 2 and have him play it off the top , and also i would like to see a set play editor so as you can create yout own set plays , also if you play a player out of position he shouldn't drop the ball every time it is passed to him especially at international level that just doesn't happen

1. MANAGER MODE MANAGER MODE MANAGER MODE MANAGER MODE MANAGER MODE MANAGER MODE MANAGER MODE MANAGER MODE
2. better commentary
3. online multiplayer
4. cinematic replays
5. create a squad with the EA gameface type option
6. online updates

dream team mode where you can pick a team of players from around the world and just mess about against club or international teams

a legend mode where some of the great rugby players who have retired can be added to the teams like david humphreys for ulster

WHat if the left analogue stick was the ball carriers running direction and the right analogue stick was the first receivers running angle... and then say if u held down R2 then the right analogue stick would be the second reveceivers ball carrier line for cut out balls to angled runners.... and if u held down L2 it would be the inside ball runners running angle. that would be awsome..another important point for this tho would be to create defensive situations which would allow running lines to be effective.. for example what i was talking about before about drawing in players into tackles and having sliding and rushing defense...

and yeah i think offloading should be a stat...so say like if sean hardmans offloading stat was 40 and he got the ball it would be risky to try and offload...however if morne styne had 94 for offloading it would be much less risky... this would force players to really KNOW there players and there team and how they work togeather with one another..

thats anotther thing.. if some guy with no crash ball ability and really low wieght did a crash ball he should get absolutley smashed and driven back 10m or knock the ball on.....in 08 it was always the same animations and no risk for things like this. This agina would put more focus in knowing ur team... i liek this idea because it meens if u practice with one team u could get really good with them...its not neccasarily which teams better but which team u can play bettter with..

Unique Players running, tackling, kicking and general gameplay styles

I would love to see the great stars of Rugby actually have unique running, tackling, kicking and general gameplay styles...

A few from New Zealand would have to be: Ma'a Nonu's 'swagger' he does when he runs,
Sonny Bill Williams carrying the ball with one hand,
Mils Muliaina's Side step,
Cory Jane's Fend
and Lelia Masaga's Goose-step

Sorry if this has already been said (cant read through 92 pages!)

1 By far the feature I would like to see is an extensive campaign mode. It would be optimistic to think that we will have anything but a long wait for the next one, so we really need an extensive campaign mode to keep us going! And on that subject please please can we pick any team to play as! Just get rid of the good players so we need to build up a squad!

2 Online play- surely an essential??

3 Please please give us a very difficult mode!!

 

[kusta]

I just have a few suggestions:

1) manager mode and remove the world legue all together
2)superstar mode
3)set-piece creator for backs and forwards
4)commentary revamped
5)make the game harder, one of the annoying things was that if you played another team that doesnt have matt giteua their flyhalf would kick everytime and it just became boring,vary play according to how the team plays in real life and how the player plays.
6)graphics need work and the rosters too.

Thats all i hope i aint asking for much!!

 

[kusta]

And oh regarding the kicking can you please remove the arrows that show up when you powering a kick,just show where the ball will end up,thus making it more realistic and risky to take a kick which makes you run more and play rugby....and regarding the manager mode(which should be a must if you want the game to be successful) players should be allowed to develop even the likes of dan carter etc and they can drop form,where they become poor and get dropped,oh and before i forget you should also have scouting and young players coming through the ranks while also you manage the finance of the club like in fifa

 

[rob_wayne]

To make the game more realistic, there should be the odd collapsed scrum automatically. (not to often as that would get annoying)
Kicking accuracy should be dropped.
More realistic rucking and mauling.
The ability to do inside / outside pops to forward runners of the fly half or inside centre.
As bad as it is to watch, there should be more rucking and mauling penalties such as sealing off the ball etc to increase realism. (that are not intentionally done)

 

[kusta]

If you do decide to do a superstar mode like in madden,please please please have a media and interviews even on the manager mode that would just add the cherry on top and i am sure thats not asking for too much,to have some sort of media!!!!

 

[kusta]

I would really appreciate if you made the game harder and player likeness would be awesome i.e The Bulls will use the likes of fourie du preez and morne steyn's boot more and have a "forward-bashing" approach while the sharks would run more with the ball and use their big ball carriers like jean deysel and willem alberts to take it up...in ither words the teams in the game must play like the teams in real life...

 

[Dizzy]

media and interviews? too much I think. Have the season mode, and have in game stats.. Which you can follow throughout the season to see who's putting in all the hard yards.
CPU GAMES
And also, change the way that the cpu games are simulated[stats wise] In world league, I hated seeing most of the games being 33-30 for instance and then follow the stats to see that 21 penalty goals were scored in that game.

Make the simulated game stats more realistic. [I know this must be hard because it has been the same for nearly every rugby/rugby league game I've played.

-A few unique animations similar to what 2K have done with their NBA games, for example, when sidestepping with Quade Cooper, give him his own quick steps he pulls off in a game

-The ability to use a small hole/gap to make a break if your player has the speed+the ability to run onto the ball at pace to greater improve the chance of breaking a hole

-Unique pass animations for a some of the halfbacks

-Give players like Francois Steyn the ability to nail a dropgoal from 60m if it is timed correctly as oppose to '08's restricted 25m kicks

-Online

-Roster Updates

-Create-a-Play

-Licences for real football boots

-Good Create a Player mode and maybe a create-a-team mode

-World League make the Transfer Market like FIFA 10 (you can sign any player you want to whatever team you want as long as they are happy with the deal)




Thanks for Reading

 

[Andrew]

Oh and instead of hitting sprint and instantly hitting top speed, make a player build up to their speed through an acceleration stat. So if you have someone with 100 acceleration, they will hit top pace all most instantly whereas someone with 30 acceleration would take their time

 

[bronsonhemi]

Be a Pro Mode.

Super14 Draft. Pick your own team well make up the team with the Franchises ITM cup team as well as the draft players.

A manager mode like Madden in rugby would be sick as including the training cups etc.

A way better Create a player mode

Roster update, continue to update like Fifa.

Sonny Bill Williams!

Player upgrader: Training Camp like on Madden makes the player better with good performances

have the northern and southern hemisphere play different types of rugby because lets face it the All Blacks are a up-tempo team and the English are a kick and hope side.

There needs to be as much time in this game as Madden it could be made into one of the greatest sports ***les ever made. Look at the Player signings and stuff from Madden 06 on PS2 im sure they can do something along the lines of that.

This game needs to be made the best that it can be otherwise it is going to die out.
