What Teams/Tournaments/License's can we expect?

[aussie1st]

those tournaments look good just hope the combine it with a career mode. Maybe u can play as a super 12 side and then pick ur international players from the super 12. Then you have that end of year tour. After 4 years u get the WC that would make the game last a lot longer.

I doubt anyone at EA would have the brains or ambition to try and implement something like that though.

look at catabury's fullback and which direction he is facing

Fair comment, but lets be honest its easy to notice when studying a screenshot. When playing it wouldnt be as apparent and as long as the guy turns around and does his job as he should it wont matter.

I think in any game with the complex AI companies use now you are always going to get some unpredictable results even if only for a split second. That guy is probably taking in to account where every single player on the field is at that given moment. The AI probably decided the best thing to do was run away

Listen to me defending a company that ruined my life with the release of R2004

True - however it is sometimes the little touches that make a game.......

For instance you would not have seen anything similar in say PES4, as all off the ball players still react realistically regardless.

If this was a rugby version of PES4 then the fullback would have been tracking BACKWARDS, with an eye kept on the ball carrier.........

Unless of course its Ben Blair making a fool of himself, than of course it means HB have done their research.

I doubt they have NPC and Currie Cup Licsences, although I dont see why not, FIFA has what? 350 odd teams? and Rugby 05 is using the same engine and money shouldnt be a problem they coughed up around a Billion dollars to get their hands on the NFL Licsences

it looks wicked!!!

I think the greatest sign of this game is thar EA actually took the time to continue the franchise. Its good that they actually made enough money off rugby 2004 to actually invest some money into the series.

I think rugby 2004 was only a test product to see if it was worth it for EA to invest further in the franchise and we are seeing what they have come up with

Hopefully this game sells a lot!!!! I know I will be picking up a copy of it as soon as it comes out

 

[umosay]

Hopefullly it will keep us occupied for ... more than one day

unlike rugby 2004

Maybe that's what the people who paid full price for Rugby 2004 should think: If we invest now we might actually get a good product.

Yes they are ingame but is that what it will look like? probably not - as the camera views don't allow you up that close unless its a cut-scene [/b]

[umosay]

Stop asking such no brainers neh, just because someone is wrong doesn't mean you have to call them f*cktards all day long

[raziel_eire]

just found a link to the EA legal notices ...

http://www.ea.com/global/legal/legalnotice.jsp

... states all the license's they've obtained for R2005 (and the rest of their games)

- tho there is no mention of the Heineken/European Cup in there, so I'm not exactly sure of how "up-to-date" this actually is

Why wouldn't they be... screenshots normally come from the games...

All games release these kinds of screens first to show it off

when WCR released pics, they were in game, gameplay pics

ie, even the replays were genuine, from the gameplay itself

i dont wanna see intro pics.

like the intro pics from pes4.

the intro in pes4, is graphically alot better than the game itself

pls tell me these pics are not the 2005 intro pics, coz if they are, the real gameplay visuals arent obviously released yet

surely u all know what i am going on about.

 

[raziel_eire]

how many playable teams were in R2004?

... 12 Super 12 teams,
24 European teams,
20+ National teams (about 22/24?)
and the British Lions

... equaling around the 60ish mark, is that right ?

 

[cavan]

i'd say NZ Maori are in too, they did the motion capture for the game after all...

Damnit. I'm being pedantic but the Lions have green on the tops of their socks.

Always have:

Always will:
