Rugby League Live 3

[edabomb]

Dunno if its been mentioned but apparentely the PS3 and Xbox 360 release has been delayed

Gameplay looks very much like RLL2 - with less intercepts I guess.

Funny how ARL 96 managed to master a smoother flowing passing game - where you don't pass backwards 5 metres to a player standing still.

ET's Rugby League had better AI defence than this.

So those lines in front of the player receiving the ball are just there for show right because I am yet to see any lines run!!

Also what is with the continual lack of fast play the balls? You know A fundemental part of the game it's trying to represent...

3 days out & nothing on steam.

All that video from powerup did was make me lose interest. Surely that wasn't released officially? It appears fullbacks are completely redundant in defence now.

 

[chigurh]

I liked the bit where Burgess made a line break and the nearest defender chased him in reverse

Or adam Reynolds busting through 4 tackles then sprinting 40 metres to score a try. All in a 2009 hayne like play.

But guys it isn't an ea developed game.

 

[redvscotty]

Yeah, that severely dented my optimism.

 

[canberra_raiders2k2]

Honestly, I can handle plays like that. What really shits me is watching the AI continually drop back, even though the attacker is coming straight at them, basically giving the attacker an easy line break. I have even seen it happen on the goal line. I remember that was my biggest problem with RLL2 -

The AI moved up and down as one and generally refused to face and move to close down the threat. I could only handle so much of that before I decided to return my copy.

Has anyone showed it on the hardest difficulty yet?

I do like the dummy half running is used more now

No need to show it, just imagine the same gameplay with more tackle busts and offloads

 

[ek999]

Cuthbertson try was the best, the defenders ran backwards over the try line and let him score. That or the Castleford one where the defender ran backwards to make a hole in the defence even bigger

:lol:

 

[Walt Flanigan]

All the footage so far has been pretty underwhelming.

 

[nzwarriorskuz]

rumours are the game will be released tomorrow.. someone got it early.

 

[canberra_raiders2k2]

Wasnt it a rental though? Not sure if that counts though...

 

[natheel]

Yeh was a rental. EB games are apparently looking into it tomorrow morning so will probably be released in the afternoon if at all

 

[saints4ever]

That's bullshit.
Rental or not retail stores better not f**k us around. The guy paid money and is playing it. Street date=broken

So 24 hours to go & still nothing on steam. No page, no notice in the upcoming games, the best they have is the fanhub demo which doesnt even have a community forum!!

So I guess this will be an indication of the quality of the conversion.... gunna grab some popcorn & wait for release across all platforms cause I think this will implode on Bigant.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

My copy has shipped via express post.

This had better be at least somewhat better than the last offering.

There is a delay on PC as per Ross over on BA site
Probably be a couple of months

I still don't know when my copy will be released (PS3). Retailer hasn't been in touch, BA havn't announced.
I'll head to the retailer tomorrow and act like I'm going to pick my copy up. Probably won't get it, but should have more info (hopefully)
