Rugby League Game

Have just bought the rugby league game on xbox and have mixed opinions of it, so i thought id share it with others before they went out and spend a fair bit of money for it. i did own rugby league 2 on computer and thought it was ok but every league game seems disappointing verse the ea games of union etc.

The goods
-close up graphics of players is good
- the play is abit more realistic with knock on etc
- good kicking options, strip ball, hard hits
- it has all of the 2010 squad and some reserve players such as humble etc
-different game modes like super league and origin
- features like 10 interchanges, fatigue level etc

The bads
-the distant graphics are bad- players arent in proportion like burt is as big as grothe
- you cant set hayne as a playmaker or kicker, only the halfback and 5/8 are the kickers
- the goal kicking is so hard- they have tiny bars you have to read and it goes so quick, its suppose to be fun not frustrating
- no individual skills, like mateo and offloads, grothe and strength, hayne and brilliance etc
- the crowd is just a flat block of colours
- players out of positions, like making a break and pass to the outside and you get cayless or mannah instead of your centre or winger
- time- you dont get enough time in play to kick the ball, the kicker stands up int he line and by the time they get the ball and you choose where to kick it you are tackled. cant they have the kicker stand back abit.

I have to say for the price i was a fair bit disappointed, i thought by now they would be up to the standards as others sporting games, but i guess not. I think ea sports needs to take over as their union,golf,basketball games are so much better.

  • they need to read there fans feedback. last tackle kicking is riduculas with the halves gettin no time to kick. also wen u make a play down a certain side the wingers dnt always follow u so u pass it over the sidelines, tho ive only played RL2.
  • Never in a million years will EA make an NRL game. They pour millions into those succesful games and there simply isn't the market selling an NRL game
  • The fact of the matter is that the odds of EA making a Rugby League game are vastly low, given that the bargaining chip that FIFA, the NBA, NFL, NHL etc. have to offer is much much greater than any chip that the NRL or ARL is able to utilise.
    The sport games that EA makes, are internationally recognised brands, and are shown in many countries around the world.

    I wouldn't mind seeing the initial gaming company Sidhe if I'm not mistaken, make the next NRL game.
    From memory, the last one they were involved in, it was quite good.
  • The rugby league game on the wii is cool when using an old fashioned controller not brilliant but certainly enjoyable and better gameplay and graphics than previous games I've played
