It rocked my socks!
Went in to Gamesmen Wollongong and played for about 40 mins all by myslef
I first played as the Dragons Vs the Sharks @ WIN stadium, and as soon as i kicked off i was grinning with joy. The stadium was so impressive, every detail spot on. I was playing on the Reserve dificulty so it took me a couple of games to get the hang of things. The first game i played i lost 6-4. I then played a rematch and won 16- 4, with Nathan Blacklock getting injured. Bailey (from the sharks) and some other Sharks player got injured, whilst Beattie was sin binned for a spear tackle!
Then it was off to Oki Jubilee against the Doggies, and only played there for half a game cuz i wanted to see as many stadiums as possible. I then played at Telstra stadium ST helens V Newcastle, and the Knights are a gun team. It seemed that once they were on a roll, its very hard to get back into the match.
I also played against the Panthers at Penrith in the wet and they seem to play like they do in real life. They were hard to shut down. As you would expect, there ara a few more knock-ons in the wet. I threw a nice ball onto the chest of Brent Kite, and surprise surprise, he knocked it on (this game is VERY realistic ;-) )
This game feels like rugby league. When i first started playing i was offloading the ball in my own 20m, and was getting punished for it. I soon learned to play as you would in real life, using the forwards out of my own half, and it works a treat.
Defence will take some getting used to, and can be disorganised, but the tackle animations are perfect, and there are lots of them.
Kicking was the only thing i couldnt get the hang of, but i managed to put up a couple of bombs, and a grubber. The ball bounces nicely and Joey Johns seemed to have no problem finding touch 5m from my goal line..bastard.
Anyway, cant wait till Friday, if ur in the Illawarra u should check the game out.
