They show one pass in the trailer which makes me believe the passing game is as bad as its been since the original game twelve years ago.

bit of polish on the 1st game and push it out the door
fully expect all the same terrible gameplay

it is obviously beyond them to make a decent game

That play with Austin and Waqa looked good.

Overall the animation in that trailer did look very poor. The general movement of the players and some of the highlights just looked way unrealistic. Players charging forward, ball held up then randomly pulled out for a try. Right idea, but it just looked weird.

Still, nothing in the trailer resembling actual gameplay.

I get what they were going for with the kick, but they just went completely overboard with the hook on that thing. I tried doing similar ridiculous curved kicks in the fanhub, and while I could get the curve happening (which is really easy to do) I could never find the right spot to aim the ball to get it to swing in.

Imagine that. RTS coming up against a dummy half, one on one and only metres out. Rather then take on the fullback, he does a chip and chase lol.

Graphics looked reasonable, but need to see some gameplay footage to comment about the graphics.

We have only seen a minute of footage and according to the BIG ANT forums, Sony has since confirmed the release date as 10 September. As usual, BIG ANT have not provided anything and neither has Tru Blu.

They really seem to be going out of their way to be ambiguous about the gameplay aren't they. That is NOT a good sign.

That JT kick looked janky as f**k

Yeah, Ross on the BA forums pretty much came right out and said it was replay footage and that the people who test it next week can post up gameplay footage.

Seems to me like it would be batter to cop criticism on someone else's shared videos online rather than official ones from the company!

It's really hard not to be cynical about this release at this point.

Don't know what people are complaining about... looks pretty good I reckon. Are you all expecting Madden or something? It's a low budget game for a niche sport that only half of a relatively small country care about guys. Try keep things into perspective.

OK,

It looks as though none of the concerns have been addressed.

Animations look the same, Hooker playing FB, Inglis palming looked garbage, the forwards barging over looked suss, Thurston's kick.

Graphics are a non issue to me. It looks like the NRL so I'm happy with that. Most peoples concerns were never to do with graphics.

Also, to all those bleating for EA to make one, I'd rather 2K did it.

If they want to charge the same price as other games, they need to expect criticisms based on the games shortcomings compared to those games. If it was a $50 or $60 game, comparisons to Madden etc would be unfair.
