It was a f**king abomination. Impossible to stick to the salary cap in franchise mode, some teams actually played more games than others in the regular season, and regen players were making all the rep teams within the first season of the game.
Terrible stuff.
Quoted for truth.
I signed a lock, Paul Johnson his name was (I thought it was the pommy at first), 163cm tall, weighed 102kg and rated 4/10 for defence, only in my squad to cover injuries (and how ridiculous were the injuries!) so he never played, and he was the starting lock for NSW. How did they manage to f**k up so badly?
I signed Buderus from Newcastle, his speed somehow increased to 9/10 (equal to Minichello) and he played until he was 36. And while I'm ranting, the signings by the computer were so stupid, by the end of the 10 years the Warriors were running props in the centres and backrowers on the wing, and the Tigers had Karmichael Hunt and Matt King as their props. All this for what, wasn't it $90 when it came out 3 years ago?
Don't give them a cent of your money, we're better off with no league games than completely broken ones.

I hope you don't mind me saying that I pissed myself laughing reading that, but it is a bit of a tragedy. I started scratching my head back when I had a game against the Roosters and the halfback was Jason Cayless. It was all downhill from there ...Quoted for truth.

I wouldn't mind trying RL 2 for PC regardless of what I heard it's still a NRL game. Why can't anyone make a RL game like Rugby 08 why do them Union bastichs get a decent game it pmo. C'mon EA make one for the fans but since I am in Canada if they didn't make one for PC i'd be screwed curse the PAL/NTSC formats why can't there just be one geez.
hahah EA rubgy 08 is done by a bunch of amatures, definately not worth 100, read my earlier post u'll c why, and go on google and look up forums,
While RL2 felt polish, it failed to fix the poor AI within the game which utlimately hurt it. That being said it's stolen 100+ hours of my life and it will probably take plenty more before I'm through with it...or the disc gives out on me.
If they were to make a RL3, these would be my idea's...
-Better commentary, Rabs, Sterlo and Gould. Voss on sidelines.
- Set plays
- Better kicking mechanics, especially for bombs. AI should be more alert and chase through.
- Personal AI stats (Make a ton of tackles, Tackle less but make big hits, go to dummy half, stay out on wing etc. etc.)
- Better AI all round, make defence tougher to penetrate (less gaps generating). Better support play (especially from fullbacks) etc.
Franchise Mode:
- Have a Big League mag. to check on possible signings/releases
- QRL, NSW Cup and Toyota Cup included...makes for better depth management.
- If coach for rep teams the ability to select those sides
- In depth training
Create a Player
- DL content updates the game when neccesary
- More indepth like a WWE game if possible.
Many more to come...
