Just saw the player creation youtube video... holy sh*t that looks impressive

was tentative about purchasing the game before, but if the quality of that and the reviews on here are anything to go by, definitely getting this one when it comes out

Ok, I have not bought a league game since Rugby League 2 which was utter crap, but the more I see and hear about this one the more I want it.

Got excited when I saw a Sept 28 release date on Mighty Ape, but then saw that it was just an estimated date. Dammit I want it now! lol

Will be getting on ps3 as soon as freaking possible and raising Campese's injury resistance to one million!!!

Tru Blu has posted questions and answers to them on their Facebook page. Surely that will shut up a few people.

Q: Is there going to be the actual QLD and NSW players?

A: Yes, both leagues’ players are fully represented and each has their own competition mode to play.

Q: Can we edit current rosters, both changing player’s teams and ratings?

All teams’ rosters and player attributes are editable and you are even able to add custom players you've created yourself to squads and then play with them online or in competition or casual mode.

Q: Will the crowds be bigger and smaller depending on the way the team is performing?

A: Within career mode, stadium size will be dictated by the teams’ progress within each season, so yes, grounds will be full or partially empty depending on how you are progressing.

Q: What has been done to customize game play experience in terms of "game sliders"?

The game does not specifically have game sliders however, we have included a mode called Footy Factory which allows for custom created and existing players to have an array of attributes adjusted to tailor your experience, as well as allowing you to freely move players around clubs and then play in competitions locally or against friends online.

Q: When you say the NSW & QLD cup and Toyota are in the game does that mean we get to take control of them during the Career mode and select the teams and bring players up through them to first grade?

A: For this iteration we haven't introduced a “be a pro” mode. A lot of additional content has been added, even to the degree of playing career mode matches cooperatively online with a friend.

NSW, QLD and Toyota Cup have there own competition mode where you can play as teams in those leagues and also players from those clubs can be signed to your NRL or even Superleague team while playing Career mode.

Q: Will we have official crowd chants?

A: We don't' have official chants, we have though spent a lot of time on crowd sound effects and also a lot of time on improving the commentary for the game, we feel the commentary really stands out over previous versions.

Q: Has there been more effort put in to the English super league players faces?

A: If you are asking about detail ,the Superleague team players have had a similar attention to detail as NRL, with Superstar players getting added art time across the board. If you are asking about player likeness, this is not covered by our Superleague agreement.

Q: Will there be unlock able teams? Example team of the century and greatest NSW and QLD teams.

A: There are no unlockable teams in the game, all 100+ licensed teams are available for play right from the start however, there are multiple challenging achievement trophies to unlock.

Q: And of course lastly, the most popular question, the release date.

A: This was by far the number one question, we will address this in a separate post at another time.

Officially they can't, it needs clearance from Microsoft & Sony.

Per their agreement with the NRL it HAS to be released this year.

I'm not as impatient as others, given I had to wait until March for Rugby League 3, I can handle waiting until December or so for this game.

spot on... Honestly there are enough games out there and enough games comign out to warrant a longer wait...

Yeah I'd suspect that not being able to announce a release date must be just as frustrating for them as it is for us.

Not to go all negative nancy but it sounds like they got the most general information no one cares about and played their own game of jeopardy.

Also:

"add custom players you've created yourself to squads and then play with them online or in competition or casual mode."

The lack of "career mode" in that sentence has me nervous. the inability to play career mode with a custom team sh*tted me massively with rugby league 3.

custom teams probably won't be able to be played with in career mode but custom players most likely will be able too

If "editing teams" includes jerseys and team name then I guess that is a simple alternative.

You could use custom teams in Rugbg League 3's franchise mode though, I had a bunch of players who weren't in the game in my Eels team.

The question about promoting through the NYC they said you can sign players but didn't specifically say you can promote players from the lower grades.

Competition may cover all competitions though.

What happens if you are playing online with someone who has added Thurston, Inglis, C.Smith, Cronk, Slater etc to their side? Wont that be unfair..?
