That depends where you are. If you're inside your own 22 then it is virtually impossibly to recycle. If you can get out of there, and keep it close to your forwards you can recycle (depending on who you're playing with, and who your opponent is). Also, keep an eye on your momentum bar (by the score). If it gets bigger for you it is easier to maintain possession. I'm finding hard mode fun now.Goleel said:Hard mode still makes rucks ridiculously hard to win, you can't recycle posession at all.
I've found kicking ok with Classic 2. Having a good kicker really helps. Just have a game with Andrew Mehrtens as the main kicker, makes a huge difference.Kicking is easy to do but broken, kicks don't get enough distance unless in side view mode, which is an absolute joke.
Yeah, the penalties are quite lame. AI needs to get offside, have hands in the ruck etc. And dangerous tackles need to be implemented. They've got the animations, but just need to have high, late and air tackle penalties added.I've copped a few penalties, although I think all of them are penalty tries when they collapse scrums close to the line. Never offside, never with hands in the ruck, basically penalties only exist for your team. Joke.
It get's better as you play it more.
