I know some of you 'high and mighty forum dwellers who know all and are above all in rugby league' think the footy show is too 'low brow' for you, but I hardly think its a knock on someone if they enjoy it. Heck, I love the show. It's more a knock on you for being a bloody wanker. Get your head out of the clouds.
As for a future sequel, look, if AFL can get a game every year, and a sh*t game at that, Rugby League deserves a game every year too, as long as there are improvements that can be made, and I think there will be for the first three or four years, new modes of play, more competitions, gameplay refinements, online play, franchise modes, etc.... then perhaps eventually, being able to change rules to make the game different, such as implementing the 5 metre rule, and things like that, and playing with classic teams. There is plenty to be done, and until they run out of significant improvements that could be made, I'd love to see a new game every year, and would definitely buy it.
Not sure if the whole general public would shell out for a new game every year, but if they were good, the core gamers would buy them for sure.
