TRF Rugby 10 Patch

[Intercept King JDV]

hey guys just need a question answered on playing with the actual patches and rosters, do the players in the game have their full names or can you play with just their last names by the players?

Not all players have their whole full name + surname, players with long names and surnames only have their initial and surname.You only have 13 or so character space for the names.

Is there by any chance a Northampton kit in this update? Didn't see one in the index.

Only the 09/10 European kit was made Northampton, I can upload that for you if you wish?

JDV, great patch! Thanks
Just a couple of things I've noticed, for your reference:

1) The player stamina goes down the same for all players. For instance, if I look at the stam in the 50th minute or so, everyone's at 88, across the board. Is this intended?

2) The GWK stadium has a few issues with the players walking onto the field pre-match. They walk right through signboards etc, not through a tunnel.

3) I haven't played a RWC yet, but as the Springboks I beat Argentina 45-10, Italy 45-14, and France 43-24. Argentina should maybe be a bit harder, and France quite a bit harder as well. I know it's a nightmare to tune though.

4) The commentary voices for some players names are wrong. I see it coincides with your roster updates: They call Andries Bekker Dallaglio, and Jaque Fourie is called O'Driscoll. I'm not sure if there is a commentary voice for "Bekker", but is it possible to use the commentary "Fourie" for Jaque Fourie? I haven't checked for any other occurences, just noticed these while playing the last few days.

5) Just out of interest, is it at all possible to replace the commentary voices with a mod later on in the far future? For instance, replacing the commentary audio with phrases from commentators like Craig Marais and Hugh Bladen (or whoever) would bring a nice change to the game. If it IS possible though, I can imagine it would be a menial task to sift through hours of commentary audio to find appropriate phrases, so just call this a far-off wishlist item

Thanks for your detailed feedback aktor

1.I used the global edit function in the roster editor and it changed everything to the same value, I did that by mistake, the only way to "fix" it is by changing every player's stamina value 1 by 1...

2.Yeah I'm aware of that, seems like each stadium uses its own "entry" camera, I just have to re-assign them correctly.

3.I've tried and I'm still busy trying to make the game harder but I haven't found anything concrete yet...

4.In normal play Andries Bekker will be called "Bekket" or something as there is no "Bekker" commentary option available, I've given Dallaglio's star to Bekker so when Bekker does something major like break a tackle or hand someone off, the game will still use "Dallaglio's star commentary"

5.Hahaha yeah that is somewhat of a far-off wishlist item

loving the patch man! Its amazing. Cant wait for Exeter Chiefs to be added into the game!

Yes please that would be great.

Oh, also I have a roster that I have been working on, it's actually your roster from v3 that I've made adjustments to. Will it work with this version of the patch?

Hi JDV, thanks for the reply.
You asked for some results before to see how the AI performs in tournaments: I played a tri-nations tournament earlier, here are the results so far, in case it comes in useful when tuning:
(Played as SA, with current rosters for all 3 teams)

SA vs NZ: 29-14
AUS vs SA: 13-35
AUS vs NZ: 9-23
NZ vs AUS: 23-27

The first 3 results show SA as a little too strong, but the AI scores still make sense. NZ beat AUS by a bit much, but SA also beat AUS by more than they beat NZ, so again, this isn't a problem. However, on the 4th result AUS won NZ (albeit close), recovering from a 23-9 rather suddenly (together with a recovery from a 35-13 loss the week before).

Hope this helps. But I hear what you're saying about difficulties making the game harder, the problem probably lies with limitations in the original game - and the fact that a game can't really be 100% accurate all the time. Even EA's FIFA games, with the massive budget they have, can't get it right Having said that though, your patch already makes the game a hell of a lot better than the original "vanilla" game (not to mention the great roster updates, stadiums, etc), so: well done!

(Unrelated question: Why does each team in the 3Nations only play 3 games in total, instead of 6?)

Hey I think you've told me once before but when i got to the excel doc for the teams in Woosah's, who gets replaced by

• Toulon
• Brive
• Viadana
• Leeds
• Racing Metro
• Connacht

I can't say for sure if it will work or not, best to try and test it yourself...

Because the original fixtures were made for the 06 or 07 season when each team only played 4 games, 2 home and 2 away.
And thanks for the feedback and compliments!

Get the old roster editor, open your roster in it and click on "set as default".

 

[smiffymies]

Hey, was wandering how i can play the training ground without the noise of the crowd etc

 

[rugby-08-lover]

Get the old roster editor, open your roster in it and click on "set as default".

That's what I've been doing the whole time, It keeps saying: "The process cannot access the file 73cb47d1d69c90f28fd1cc4186ac1926.rdf because it is being used by another process"

 

[vyeung]

Hi. I know this is a stupid question but WHERE DO I GET THE EDITOR FROM? There's so many editors flying around, can someone just link me?

I don't have a clue...maybe by turning the crowd sound off in the audio option menu...?

You are using the old editor right?

I have put in in the main folder but it does not work, do I need to delete anything please help

 

[master720full]

I have put in in the main folder but it does not work, do I need to delete anything please help​

I don't understand really what you mean with,in the main folder.Of course,if you are saying the one I think,you've to just copy paste.If you have installed a previus patch,accept when it says to replace.After these,go to the saves and copy the Rosters and Profiles on the "EA Sports rugby 08" folder(repeat,in the saves folder).Hope I could help you in something.

 

[Dirtdiver21]

What I mean by the main folder is the EA SPORTS TM Rugby 08 program files main page. Have tried again no luck, roster works but not the actual patch. any ideas?

 

[Dirtdiver21]

At last it works, but the roster does not load, can I use another roster instead

 

[master720full]

At last it works, but the roster does not load, can I use another roster instead​

See,that was it happened to me(the 1° time).First,delete all the saves you've,the profile ones,or copy them like a backup.After these when you star the game will said you"can't load..."when it happens just creat another profile,the roster must be the one you've download,and it'll funtion,trust me.Hope it had been clear.

Cheers,master720full

Hey

Basicly i know absolutely nothing about computers. I downloaded the files, but i cant open it because apparently some folders are compressed. Do i need another programme to open this download, and if so can you recomend one?


Thanks

PS. Looks like a fantastic addition to 08, it was looking a bit tierd!
