I was just about to ask the same question. What do you have to do to register a hitup? My game plan is very simple, hit it up and wait for a break, but I just don't get any hitups in the stats.HELP ME!

Just get the ball, and sprint towards the tacklers. Don't sidestep, don't pass, just run at them. If you try and get around them without running through them, it's not a hit-up.

I think a hitup in this game is where you make a run with no special moves, no fends, offloads or steps, and just take the tackle, one off the ruck and off an early pass. Don't quote me, but that's how I think it goes.

My understanding of a hitup is when a player gets tackled with the ball. Simple as that.

Is that correct?

That's what a hit-up is in the NRL as well.

No that is not correct, look at any NRL match stats and you will see there is A LOT more tackles made than hitups registered. A hitup is when there is no offload involved and the player is usually 1st or 2nd receiver.

So if the ball is passed 8 times in a play and it finishes up with a forward taking the tackle, is that not a hitup?

Its sort of a grey area, im not sure the exact definition for this game, but if its a real NRL game, but most likely that scenario would not be considered a hitup.

Yeah an NRL hitup is pretty much every time a player gets tackled, as long as they are on their feet, i.e if they dive on a loose ball and are tackled, its not a hitup. The reason the tackle counts are so much higher than hitup counts is that 2 and 3 men tackles are counted as a tackle for each player.

But the game is stuffed in measuring hitups, what I said above is how I think you register one.

Yeah the hitup should be counted just whenever the player gets tackled regardless of whether he side steps or trys to run around the defender.

Why? That isn't a hit-up in the NRL, so why should it be in the game.

A hit-up is when a player trys to run through the defence, not around it.

Yeh I agree with u there.

This game however doesn't seem to recognise many hitups

Yeah, I was browsing through the teams stats and I only had like 50 hit ups by the end of round 15, where as the Raiders were leading on 500 (I'm using 15min games).
