Rugby League 2 bugs and gripes

[Panthers_God]

I just got the game today on ps2. I took it home and put it in and it didnt load. So i took it out and it had mad huge scratches all over it. I got heeps pissed off and went back to EB for a replacement. The guy there told me no replacements on scratched disks unless i bought the garuntee thing for it. Then he told me it scratched most likely because my ps2 was old. Then I blew up at him and said why didnt u give me this information before I blew 90 bucks on this piece of scratched crap. And after a long arguement and alot of cursing he finally gave in and gave me a fresh copy of the game. And this time I payed the extra 5 bucks for the warranty. So far Ive had no troubles with the game.

Beautiful mate

No its Australia All perfect 10's.

But Bulldogs are the best NRL team and Rabbitohs and Raiders are worst.

one thing that pissed me off was the amount of biased reviews, almost all reviews i read gave it 9.5/10 with no mention of the bullsh*t bugs, some such as the f**k ups in rules are real amatuer!!!!!!

Stats - what happened to top tryscorers, top goal kickers, top tacklers, etc?

Create teams/players - why limit it to 32 teams / 250 players?

Custom jerseys - too few colour options (10 from memory)

This is all pretty basic stuff which would have made the game more enjoyable. I feel that they have spent too much time on getting the player likeness right when this could have been spent on gameplay issues.

Maybe it's because the reviewers are giving their honest opinion whilst the posters at this forum are a bunch of whingers?

 

[Moffo]

i think its a fun game. a couple of bugs but nothing that will do your head in.

that said, my game froze yesterday in franchise mode after a video try was disallowed??

couldnt have said it better myself

 

[Raider_69]

my only complaint about the game is this bullsh*t "no cd key provided" sh*te when trying to play online

Can somebody explain the point in having team ratings (offence, defence, forget the other one) when you can edit them anyway?? Also, does the team rating go up or down based on the players or is it a fixed rating?? I always thought the team rating was calculated by the quality of the players on the team...

What are the soundtracks like?

 

[salivor]

My biggest gripe is the difficulty in scoring tries, the first game was far too easy now they've gone in the complete opposite direction, takes the enjoyment out of the game for me. It's the ridiculous amount of times you get held up that really gets me, I had a set of six where I was held up 4 times and then on the 5th time crossing the line was awarded a no try from the video ref. Playing 10 minute games and only winning 18-24 nil while crossing the line about 10 times gets very boring after a while.

 

[McLovin]

Yep, being held up in the in-goal happens far to often.

The post-try music is the same..

After putting in 5 hours today here's some updated gripes. Overall I like the game more than I did at first impression, and am happy to support the continued development of Rugby League games with my cash $$

'Clean' breaks - seems like you can never get through a hole cleanly, even with the fastest guys and scoot away untouched. My long-range breaks are always hampered by ankle taps, and unrealistc cover defence

Backline movements- cannot put a decent one together... 'player positioning logic' either puts players too far in-field, over the sideline, or always picking up the ball on the bounce. Game needs a "forcefield" effect on sidelines where the game engine consciously pushes players away from going over the sideline e.g. NBA LIVE does this. If the damn players would just stagger so I could have a sweeping movement.....

Play the balls are too slow, even mashing the 'play the ball' button, you cannot get a roll-on really, and really push the defence and draw them offside or find gaping holes......
Play the balls are also 'union like' in that the WHOLE game waits while hooker takes up to 5 seconds to pick the ball and either pass or run, it's absurd.

Goal-line defence- no urgency, no compressing the line, too many stupid tries where guys sneak over untouched with open space in front of them

As someone else said the ball also won't run well on long kicks, like it's hit an invisible puddle of water

Team selection of opposition and representative sides:You should be able to control who is selected for any team if you choose, and hand-pick rep sides yourselves from the player pool. It drives me nuts when I played Dragons with no Barret, Broncos with no Lockyer, and Cowboys with no Thurston because the game decided not to pick 'em!!!

I'm going to keep playing but I will love the game more with patches/ mods
