Rugby League Live 4 confirmation

[RoosTah]

How many of those "indie games" were simulators of a footy code?

None. There's a difference between making a narrow scope artsy passion project and a sim of a sport people will dissect, criticize and over-analyze to death for not being close enough to the real thing.

These people aren't making BadLands on the iPad - they're making Rugby League on PS4/XBox0ne. It's not the same

Exactly. As I said above, all you have to do is look at the 5 studios that have tried to make Union work over the past 15 years.

Are you lot really arguing that not one studio has had any passion for the sport? At what point do you start accepting that maybe it's just not that bloody easy; that maybe it takes big bloody teams and a lot of money to hit the standards you're looking for.

you can't make the Avengers on the budget of an episode of home and away either.

I did.

That trailer looks the goods.

That's a broken street date for Mine.

Cheers - that actually sounds pretty encouraging to be honest. My biggest issue with the past titles has been that forwards just don't drive forward, so if that's been fixed that's awesome

 

[Arnold]

Plenty of good stuff in there.

Meh, I still won't fork out $80 or whatever they want for it without playing a demo.

Apparently the forwards have been well and truely fixed. Watching some gameplay and it genuinely looks awesome! The AI is great.

I'm so pumped for Thursday as that's when I'm getting it.

We aren't talking about your coach.

They finally did f**king live interchanges which is a plus. Not sold on the gameplay yet though.

Wtf was that shit with the penalty at 1:13:30?? There's a forward pass from the AI opposition in there first of all

 

[King hit]

It looks ok from first impressions

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

The AI defence in be a pro is still dogshit

f**k me I'm a glutton for punishment. I should be receiving this by Thursday-Friday from Mighty Ape. I'll report back with honest (brutally if necessary) impressions. I'll take questions as well and endeavour to answer. Gameplay, rosters, stadium accuracy, anything you wanna know.

The foresight mode looks to be the way to utilise forwards best.

Pick strength foresight pick out a weakened defender and run at him.

I actually think it looks and plays alright. Overall, hard to make a direct decision, considering the videos are mostly of people with zero ability haha.

 

[Arnold]

Yeah I will play it differently to most. I will wait to get it in Aus can't be bothered ordering from Nz

Has anyone pointed out that the halves are on the wrong side? As are the second rowers.

So if I play as the Roosters and want Pearce on the right side (Which is where he plays in real life) he would come out in the number 6 jersey despite playing practically his entire career at 7.

If I play an Origin game Maloney will be on the right and Pearce on the left, Cordner will be on the right and Jackson on the left.

Why do they have to do this for? Only a few number 6's actually play on the right side, the fair majority of halfbacks actually play on the right side in the 7 jersey.

I bought it from mightyape yesterday at lunch, it turned up in Australia at 9am this morning. Playing through only 1 game so far and I can't feel much change from the last besides its not as easy to slow the play the ball down.

Mine arrives tomorrow.

How do you rate the game? I never really played the previous edition.
