Rugby League Live 2

I don't know where you get that idea. The game has been very popular and most people still enjoy playing it.

 

[natheel]

lol James Graham somehow got injured in a match he didn't play in. Good times.

I've had them injured in training sessions...maybe that's what it was from

Nah was definitely in a game. It's never happened before so I'd say just a small glitch.

 

[Simo]

Anyone else have this game stall when you score a try? I was hoping the update fixed it but no good, the sound is still active, can access the menus and the xbox home still works but the game just sits there once you score, doesnt go to goal kick, cant continue playing at all.

When first got the game it was ok, maybe a month or two a go it just started happening.

Xbox 360 version.

Anyone else had this or got a fix?

2013 Pirates, spend big on the backline, sitting 5th at the moment. starting a career with a custom side full of youngens = massive amounts to spend at the end of the year. i didnt wanna spend too much though, defeats the purpose of developing players.

Every season I have started since the updates has corrupted by about the ANZAC day game.

I did manage to get to the end of the first year by simming all but SOO and finals games so I dunno what's happening.

In other news, top 4 for 2013 was Broncos, Cowboys, Eels, and Dragons hahahah.

 

[madunit]

The bloke that funded this game is broke as hell now.

I wonder what quality of a game we'd get if the NRL decided to tip in a big chunk of dollars

 

[Patorick]

Any word on a World Cup patch?

Or will it be a separate game again?

 

[Prometheus]

We've been given no reason to expect either.

Just playing the Cowboys on the hardest difficulty:

Down 30-12 with 10 to go:

Attacking there line, pass out of dummy half intercepted (pass was too slow), length of the field try to them.

Next time we have the ball, Hayne takes a hit up on the halfway line - one on one strip - 45 metre run, 3 of my guys have good shots at him, breaks all three tackles - try.

Later, Keating passes from dummy half, ball just dribbles along the ground, goes to no-one, they pick it up, 50 metre try.

Next try for them, 3 or 4 of my guys just randomly fall off the tackle, then he dives straight through my player with one of those lovely slow motion dives for the try.

I hit back with two quick tries.

Then we start to get on a bit of a roll. Attacking down the right side. Have my centre on my right and my winger outside him. Only one defender on us. I decide to play it safe and pass to my centre, game ignores that idea, throws a cut out pass - 50 metre try to them.

This game is better than any RL games before it, but I can't believe how many problems from as far back as RL2 still exist.

You're playing as parramatta...what more do you expect?

 

[Sean7]

Hmmm... you may have something there, but seriously, almost every play the computer makes is just random. It's not like they ever build for anything, they just suddenly decide they're going to break 3 tackles in a row (sometimes from a standing start). It's pretty random for the human player too. It's nice to play it a little safe with your passing, but the pass icon doesn't even appear above the players' heads half time when you hold the pass button anyway, so you're still in the dark about who the ball is going to go to.

 

[Patorick]

I'm still having a problem with my fullback/wingers (when on kick-returns) passing or kicking for no reason.
Is it just me?
Do I need a new controller?

 

[Prometheus]

I've never heard of that problem before. It could be a controller problem.

I have noticed that random, select games can pit you against an unbeatable opponent. Two examples, one was I went through the season undefeated until I met the Titans. I played this game 8 times & each time I was not MEANT to win it...I will explain why in a moment. The second match I had I played the Cowboys, it was the last game of the season & I had wrapped up the minor premiership so I rested all my big guns & tired players, pretty much fielded a reserve grade team. I lost 32-30...First semi final was against the Cowboys again but this time all my big name players were back. 12 times I tried to play this game but from the kickoff it was obvious that I wasnt meant to win the game...13th game I won 8-6.

When you arent meant to win the opposition have a brick wall built in front of their tryline. Ridiculous try saving tackles, held up over the line & intercepts that result in 95 mt tries. Another indication is stripped balls...no matter what you do or how long you fight they always strip it..never a penalty. But on the flip side when your player tries it & YOU DONT want him to do it, then its a quick penalty against you. Missed tackles or bumping into opposition players especially in their half. And once they get into your red zone, I usual change tackling style from around their legs to around their arms as offloads become unstoppable in this part of the field. And I havent found a way to stop those stupid dive over tries from a few meters out....what p!sses me off the most is I cant do those dives.

I can accept missed tackles & offloads in ordinary circumstances but this game...at times...blatantly cheats. I can tell within a minute or two if its going to be one of those games & I usually switch the console off as I know I will be throwing the cat at the TV & spraying spittle at the missus within minutes. I love a challenge, I love nothing more than playing the hardest difficulty with a reserve grade team, but I hate going into a match that I know I have no hope of winning.

 

[Someone]

i find fifa to be worse at the whole 'un-winnable games' just because i upped the difficulty.

I actually feel winning in RLL2 is totally upto you, i guess sometimes your just outplayed though.

 

[Sean7]

I cannot believe how many of my short passes get intercepted. Draw in the centre, have an open winger, pass what looks to be a very safe pass - intercept and try to them. Once in a game today, I drew in the centre had a winger completely open about 5m wide of me, threw the pass and the centre that was defending me just slid/hovered across the field with the ball and took the intercept inside my player. Of course - try time. Your AI teammates don't react to the ball in the same was the cpu opponents do. Sometimes I'll just spill the ball in a tackle and they'll pick it up and run the length of the field to score (often it's a prop too). My players do nothing. Melbourne scored a try against me today by passing directly through the body of two of my players. They didn't even attempt to intercept it.

Also very frustrating is attacking on the their. I got tackled a metre out. Then I played the ball and passed to the play maker who was standing on or just behind the 10 metre line. This pass was intercepted and it was a length of the field try. Absolutely ridiculous. Passing from dummy half on their try line is a huge problem.

And I thought tapping the pass button without one of the other buttons would just pass to the player beside you, but it seems completely random. Sometime it'll just cut out 3 players and result in an intercept.

And why can't you tackle the cpu players when they are going through certain animations? Extremely frustrating. I'll just go in there and press the tackle button, but nothing happens.

I actually defend pretty well, but the intercepts are killing me. Often the only tries the opposition will score are either from intercepts or me dropping the ball and them running the length of the field. Meanwhile the cpu plays by a completely different set of rules to you, just throwing the ball around like crazy.

And f$%king hell, just trying to put the ball down can be a nightmare, watching the replay of my player diving or trying to put the ball down and then suddenly standing upright and being tackled sh!ts me to tears. And trying to dive from outside the tryline... just doesn't seem to work. Yet the cpu just slow-mo dives straight though my players and pressing the tackle button does nothing.

This is all playing on the hardest difficulty by the way.

So I'm up to my 5th or 6th year in career mode, and looking at the ladder coming into the last round, both the broncos and storm have had three byes, while everyone else has had two.

Anyone else encountered this?

The NRL wish they could give these teams 3 byes in real life...
