still haven't tried this one, if i see it in the cheapo bin for 25-40 bucks ill give it a crack. Only problem is with the first 2 games that came out i played it that much i basically became unbeatable and lost interest. Started doing seasons with teams filled with the bench running on with the 18-25 squad fillers and still dominating

It's an okay game. Average. Has a few little bugs you can work around. Some say it's a great game...IMO they are cutting it some slack because it's RL. Some say it's shit...IMO that's a bit too harsh, it plays okay but you will find it incredibly frustrating initially.
I think it is worth picking up IF you find it a bit cheaper, second hand or whatever. It seems to hold it's price well and IMO there are far better games you can get for half the price it generally goes for. But- It's league, and there's few options in that regard.

Either that or they remember how utterly crap RLL1 was and appreciate the huge improvement that was made with this one.

Something interesting, it's cheaper to buy the original version of the game, and then buy the DLC separate than it is to buy the "Not Even Close to Game of the Year" edition.

That's fair- It is certainly a big improvement, for sure.

 

[Prometheus]

This game has logos and uniforms for Glebe, University, Cumberland and Annandale. What other league game has ever gone that far in depth?

 

[canberra_raiders2k2]

I think you misunderstand. We know that it packs a lot of features. Features don't necessarily mean it's a great game....

gameplay wise it is heaps better then Rll 1....but its still a shit game.

 

[Prometheus]

If it isn't to be judged by the standards of other league games, then I really don't know how it should be judged.

Have always found it fun for the odd game with friends but doesn't hold my attention much beyond that.

I play a lot of FIFA and NBA 2K though so my standards for sports games are high, RLL2 doesn't reach them. I'm unable to just gloss over that for the fact "it's a league game" beyond what I said above, playing with friends. When it comes to manager modes or the online offerings of FIFA it can't compete for me, nor did I expect it to.

As a game. With the gameplay. How it plays. That's what people have said.
It's certainly better than the first one- But that does not make it a fantastic game by default. It looks okay, but it still has actual gameplay issues to work out for a next game.
A game may look good, and have all the correct teams n logos, but if it doesn't play well, that's the most important thing.

The vast majority have said the same thing. It's a definite improvement in league games. But still has a way to go to be a top notch sports game in the gameplay dept.

One of my custom players made a rep side! Anyone had this?

 

[WarriorsFan4Life]

That was made to work in the recent patch.

 

[Prometheus]

It was? I haven't had any make the rep teams yet.

 

[natheel]

Mine was a halfback for New Zealand.

You got to make sure that when creating a player that their team you out as their rep lack in depth in that position.

So mine was a half I out at dragons so he was an instant starter therefore made nz rep

I reckon he could've made country as well if i made him aussie as their half that year was Townsend

 

[Prometheus]

Did you create the player before or after the patch?

 

[Parra Pride]

I have had my created players start making rep sides after the patch, though it took a few years of career before they got to Origin and Australia.

 

[natheel]

After the patch mate

When I got it I completely reset my teams

Yeh I'm in my 4th year and one of them from Penrith made NSW on the wing and all stars

I wonder if that makes the difference
