Whoever said there wont be another EA cricket game was lying, Cricket 2004 is due out for release quite soon.


As for the 'rugby' issue, in Australia no one refers to rugby league as 'rugby', that is the name given to rugby union. By naming a RL game 'rugby' means that you are going to lose a lot of people in Australia who see the cover and automatically turn away in disgust.

Call it Rugby for release in places like New Zealand, Europe (outside England), and other countries.

No one in NZ calls League Rugby either.
It's either Rugby League or just League.

That's the whay it has always been over here and it the way it should stay.

yer i dont think microforte would have done as badly as rugby2004 (probly no where near as good as sidhe though) but since they had only been working on the game a few months it wasnt looking any worse than the rugbyleague demo was AND u must include the fact that they also were going 2 include multiple tackles, im sure if sidhe started production first and then microforte took over and made a kick arse game ppl would also be sayin "geez im glad sidhe didnt make the game look at those early scrrenshots"

BTW screws yas all im posting a screenie :D :D :D

I wouldn't give Microforte any credit, they couldn't have been capable of doing a decent job of the game if development got taken from them and given to Sidhe. Are those screenshots of the old game even real? From what I've gathered they're just developed in a 3D modelling program or something like that.

I'd confidently say that HB Studios did a better job with Rugby 2004 than Microforte would have done with league, at least they've got one release before that under their belts, even if it was Cricket 2002 (not a good game, but at least its playable).

i think all those companies will be jealous especially ea auzzie and ea nz

SIDHE have nothing on EA, they still produce high quality games when they actually feel like it:

Tiger Woods 2004

NFL Madden 2004 - BEST GAME EVER

How f**kin slow are you?? :lol:

Rugby Union is known as Rugby in England and NZ, in NZ rugby union is a religion. Union has a higer percentage market in England then League (Which owns the north and gets pawned whenever it tries to venture south)

Exactly.

Read what I write.

Call the game Rugby in the areas where Union is more popular so some Union fans see a game called Rugby ???? and buy it.

How is it false advertising?

The official name of Rugby Union is Rugby Union
The official name of Rugby League is Rugby League

If EA cut the Union off the name to sell games, why can't Sidhe? It's nothing to do with what's more popular or anything.

It will be obvious. Anyone who buys the incorrect game can't count to 6. :lol:

im not trying to bad mouth sidhe here but i think microforte could weel have done a better or equal job....to my understanding they had a month to make what they had made and i think it looked awesome for the time they had all they needed to do was make the jerseys alil better and add in the stadiums and it was probly as good as sidhes demo was and that wouldn't have taken 2 more months....microforte forever!!!!! :lol:

Konami have nothing to be ashamed of. You can't front on the ISS Pro or PES games, they are the best sports games ever. If RL/Stacey Jones is half as good as the PES games, it will be great.
