-Greater Difficulty. (AI too easy to defend against and too easy to score against)
-Player Stats Editor (so a player can be updated if they are on or out of form or edit positions they play in. Also means if while creating the thousands of players, a few are statted correctly we can edit them and not moan on here =P)
-World League Mode to have option to manage International side as well as club and play the International season. (so if managing New Zealand play warm up games in New Zealand, Tri Nations, Tour of North etc then world cup) Or even a seperate mode for international seasons. as that would be really good.
- Player development, (improvement or getting worse) in world league modes (similar to the system pro evo used where old player get a little worse and young players get better), Retirement and 're-birth' (retired players return after a few seasons as young players again with different stats. again, as pro evo used)
- Kits. Please just make sure that they are as accurate as possible, as it was a little annoying that the wallabies kit wasnt *** fit or had the armour patches or quite the right colour. =)
- More motion captured run ups as they are good.
- Choose the team you want to start World League with and put them in division 3. (As a Saracens fan its annoying as i have NEVER been offered to manage them despite trying for years)
- The return of the format of scrums from rugby 04 and Line Out in 06. they were very good.
- Some form of competition in rucks to win the ball.
-Tackles near or over the goal line attempt to hold them up?
- More penalties. as most points come from tries in the game, if both your own and the AI gave away more penalties that would be more realistic.
- Matches going from day to night...even if it was simply the first half played in the day the second at night. would really add to authenticity of playing England V Australia at twickenham on a November afternoon!
- Classic scenarios with accurate teams and kits from tournaments gone by. (world cups, tri nations, 6 nations etc.) as the challenge mode in 08 was great, but almost undone entirely as you played the 87 world cup with dan carter at fly half in a tight fit kit.
- Return of the 'random' option for world cup settings and able to chose host nation. (it got really repetative playing France 07 world cup)
Thats about it from what I can think of but I really hope the new game has at least some of these elements. =)
