Some good tips here....and this is where RLL2 ends up being a jekyll & hyde type of game.
One moment your bashing your way up field fighting for an extra meter or two before booting the ball down field & making the opposition fight their way out of their own territory....just like a real game.
The next moment I pass to Nathan Gardner who takes the first hit up & weighs what....56kg wet & watch him palm & bust his way through 3 forwards. Second hit-up is Paul Gallen who doesnt bust a single tackle the whole game?!?!? WTF?? It should be like tackling a forklift...yet the speedy guys like fullbacks, wingers bust so many tackles & palm off like champs, yet my forwards do nothing....
Passing I have found to be iffy. I can press the quick pass button & nothing happens, no reason why. Other times I will press when I shouldnt because there isnt a player close by & the ball flops onto the ground. I may be doing something wrong here but no consistency...its not a matter of quick press or holding the button, its also not a delay...the player just wont pass.
Tackling is a little funny too....Btw Iam playing Professional. I tried rookie & won 38-6, professional Iam losing close games or getting a horrible hiding. A massive gap between these two levels. In rookie the opposition had 50 missed tackles to my 5!!!! In professional they average out to be the same for both teams.
Often I have ambled up to a player in possession & bounced off him, no he didnt break the tackle, there is no animations, I just bounce off him without making an attempt to tackle.
The career mode looks like Sidhe version, just polished....
The advanced stats & man of the match are a joke. Basically as far as I can tell its most meters gained. Seeing as your fullback & wingers are beasts...they get all the awards. Really advanced stats = one stat?!? Couldnt they have included a few other things??
So far my game stats have reflected the following....
N Gardner.....20 hit ups.....250 meters
Down the bottom
B Gibbs.......2 hit ups......2 meters.
Man of the match N Gardner
I have enjoyed the game & I think it will be better when I get a hang of it. But the bugs in this game shouldnt be in it...if real supporters had designed & tested it.
Overall ..... 7 out of 10.
I think you'll find that right and left trigger/bumper (cant remember which one) reveals the rest of the advanced stats... there are A LOT of advanced stats in there...
The gap between rookie and professional seems concerning (I have only just started wrapping my head around Rookie after dominating Amateur)
