Rugby League 2 bugs and gripes

[Docking]

I have found a bug that I've seen on PC (I don't know if it also occurs for PS)

Sidhe reports that 250 custom players can be created, however I created 26 and then the game reports that I have reached the limit and no more players can be created.

Anyone else seen this?

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.

That actually sounds more exciting. The thing in the first game that annoyed me was the bad defence.

 

[McLovin]

Defence sucks. If you go one way and the opposition go the other way, it takes about 3 seconds to turn your player around...

Adjust the sliders. Using the sliders you can make the game play the way you want.

I'd much rather a very difficult game. FIFA is far to easy winning 10-0 every match on the hardest level.

And you said you scored 3-4 tries in a 10 minute match and you find it too difficult to score tries? You rarely see that in real-life, and RL2 is a sports-sim.

What about the soundtracks at the menu?

Is it just the same plain music or do they actually play songs?

No commercial music. Just music. The licensing fees for the songs would probably be too expensive for a game with a budget this smal. The budget was still fairly big, but the money best goes to the development of the actual game and licensing fees for the things that matter (players, competitions, teams, stadiums). Having commercial music would have taken something out of the game. Commercial music would be the least important thing for me.

As long as the computer defence is good. I think I can score tries.

 

[Special K]

Is there any way to have a bigger then 16 team created comp on ps2?

 

[Steven Gerrard]

If you the thing before cut scenes, you can take them off.

Please tell me how!

 

[TeamSatan]

Try this if the opposition kicks the ball down field kick it straight back and have one of your team pick it up and score
just happened to me just after the full time siren

This game is pretty bad though

Dont know how to fix this. The game fails to load properly on PC half the time. The computer would hang and i'd have to restart the computer....

(the "Loading....." bar would go one third of the way then stop...)

 

[Mal Meninga]

Sorry if this has been mentioned... I took a penalty shot from halfway and nailed it, but the game kept going, ie you couldn't tackle any player and no trys could be scored, than i punted into the stands and everyone just stood on the sidelines and the game hooter went off and the game kept going still....

That happens to me too. I also find something else that if a player doesn't greet you with a wave when you enter the game then the game will not work properly. Therefore I just exit and re-start the game to make sure that Craig Gower or whoever greets me when I enter the game so I know that the loading screen with load fully when I start a match.

Also now I have created the maximum number of custom teams, the game does not save changes I make anymore to teams and players :x It does not ask me to save changes. Not sure what the deal is.

That and Andrew Voss sometimes says irrelevant names like Bailey or Smith when there are no such names involved in a game.

After 7 months or so of playing the game I realise that its full of bugs like the last one. Oh well :roll:

 

[canberra_raiders2k2]

it took you 7months to find out that this game has alot of bugs? damn lol..after a few games it felt like RL1 with new and improved bugs.

 

[adamkungl]

Yeah, the two Rugby League games have been overall, fairly poorly made. Example, more than once iv kicked for touch and the ball didn't return to the field, the game wasn't frozen, just not doing anything.

 

[Sean7]

I've scored some funny tries because of the bugs.

I was about to score a run away try, so i pressed the button to score and my player didn't dive for the line he just dropped like he'd been shot. Luckily the defense was so far way that I could get up again and put the ball over the line. It's happened quite a few times - the dropping dead part - but I normally get tackled short because I don't have time to get up.

I scored another run away try in a strange way too. Glenn Morrison was clear by a mile, but when I pressed the button he put the ball down one-handed but short of the line. Trailing through was Ashley Grahame who dived on the ball and slid over the line for a try. Looked pretty cool actually.

The game has almost as many bugs as the original. Even the dreaded kick off bug rears its ugly head every now and then although it's slightly different this time.

Plus the Franchise mode is shot to bits.

 

[Alan Shore]

Franchise mode should have different difficulty settings for gameplay and off-field recruitment/management etc. On league god buying and re-signing players is near impossible.

 

[Mal Meninga]

Just been playing and found some strange ones:
If you don't field the kick and let the ball roll out of the in-goal during a kick off it's a penalty back at half way....
Don't pass near the line because if its intercepted and caught in goal it's a 20 metre restart....
Sometimes if you're going for 40/20's too much the computer will just f**k you over and have the scrum back at the 40 metre line with opp. feed....
and yeah pretty much the AI really sucks. Their's sometimes no point having prop's you may aswell have wingers at prop's and just side step it's more effective!

 

[Mal Meninga]

Also why is it on legend level the computer's attack resembles hot potato... you can never seem to wrap that ball up....

 

[Rocco]

there are a few things that i didnt like when playing the game.

1. after you kick for touch when getting a penalty, why do i end up getting a scrum?

2. why are stats wrong?

3. why do the players just stand around when defending on the goalline?

4. and also the players are very slow to respond to.
