[QUOTE="inertia666, post: 446365, member: 55913"] [b]Great to have a rugby game on Xbox but somewhat disappointing![/b] I've played the game for a few days now and while I do enjoy playing it I feel not much has really moved on from Rugby 08. Things that seem the same - Player bunching and moving in synchronisation - AI never misses a kick at goal - AI rucking vastly superior (both at retaining and turnover) - Nonsensical commentary comments - Gaps in the defence are exactly the same and easy to run through - Much easier to score tries using sideline camera (is this really because it's easy to spot or move into gaps???) - User AI controlled players often give away penalties for high tackles - Useless replays showing literally the least important part of the try Regressions / annoying things - Bug at maul - Scrum awarded to AI team as I threw the ball out. Told me the ball was stuck in the maul - AI can kick from deep in their 22 to deep into my 22 - AI can kick off at restart to the right and catch the ball every single time - AI "guesses" my line out strategy every single time and often wins the ball - 3D crowd in perfect sync - No easy way to import player profiles on xbox to fix licensing issues - Camera modes are diabolical. When the camera zooms out on overhead mode I can barely see what is going on when playing from my couch at a 37" screen - lack of teams and competition modes - AI does constant drop goals (and succeeds!) Improvements - Defence /Rucking system switching is cool but not sure how effective it is - Momentum for the forwards much improved - Nicer graphics - Set plays easier to initiate The main annoyances for me are the lineouts and AI never missing a goal kick. I just can't believe the goal kicking issue still infects this game. The lineout regression is very annoying. As many have commented this game is basically a 08 make over with little improvement and lots of newer issues. Why can't they get it right? Here's hoping the Sidhe game is better.
