Go to the video shop and rent copies of madden 2004, fifa 2004 and yes even rugby 2004. What you have on your hands at the moment is a ok game to keep the hoards that have demanded a rl game for years. Dont get me wrong i want a rl game, and with developmet and continuous development in years to come you may have a fifa or madden on your hands. but these games just do thngs that can be implemented in rl to make it THE EXPERIANCE as far as games go.
Madden 2004 & fifa offers:
The ultimate in player customisation and personel management for teams in the game. You should be able to edit any players attributes...if people create super teams then so be it they are ruining it for themselves...have player accessories, tape..different shoe types...socks up or down ect...make it fully customisable...the great games' do it and giving an excuse of 'we think that would challenge the integrity of what we are creating' is a cop out.
have a depth chart like in madden so if a player is injured the team is reshuffled accordingly...have mutiple week and season ending injurys...this makes the depth of your team important...have players progress or regress in their ratings like in madden dependant on their performance and age...have players retire, then to replace them hav cpu generated rookies, or youth players (refer madden, nba, nhl 2004)...have a pre season so you can play development players so they can improve...have coaches who will affect how players develop...have a salary cap and player salaries in francise mode so not only do you play the season you have to manage the team...(refer madden, nba, nhl 2004)..if you lose and attendances are down have that effect the money you can spend on players and coach next season...have the cpu pick origin and rep players at the appropriare times and have that based upon the players performances at that point of time (as per pro bowl in madden and all star games in nba and and nhl)...make the cpu use the interchange as at this point in time only human players seem to tire and need replacing (rugby 2004 does this in longer games 10 min+ halves)...rugby 2004 gets no love here but it has a lot of basic things that i thought would have been a given in the rl game. from dummy half beable to pass to eithr a forwar do back using the r1 for a pass to the back or r2 for a pass to a forward for a hit up...have the hooker be the dummy half...(this should be done cause in rugby 2004 the scrum half will usually be in position unless he has bee tackled)..have some structure to the team..(in rugby 2004 after a tackle the players retun to their positions...wingerg get back out to the wings and the fly half gets back to first reciever and forwards get ready to hit it up)...get a better method of kicking goals, the current one just sux...have a kangaroo tour, like the british isles tour in the rugby..have a word cup mode...make player ratings out of 100 not 10 , to give greater differences in players abilitys...such as a speed rating may be a 7 for johns and a 8 for lockyer, but when out of a hundred the difference could be a little or a lot such as 71 and 89, you would se a differenc or 79 and 80 and ther would be very little speed difference..add more attributes such as intelegence, as some players have all the physical abilities in the world but could not match it with a wally lewis or ricky stewart because they had unbelivable vision and game smarts...
i am not bagging the game, i just want the game to progress...that is why madden and fifa are so good, they have been developed for years..games like rugby and league and cricket only get made every now and then..both rugby 2004 and rugby league could be awesome games in a few years if they are developed and upgraded yearly, without doing this they will never be at the level of the madden or fifa series...so mario please get a video card, go to the strore and get madden and fifa and see how they do it cause this game could be huge.
