Suggestions Thread for Next Year's Version

[TripleM]

He won't commentate, he doesn't want to. So I wouldn't count on it.

I agree with just ironing out bugs, and then adding some of the more major features of the game.

 

[nibbs]

I'm happy with game play and all that. I reckon its fantastic. There's always room to improve and I'm sure the next version will be better.

I think there is room for improvement in the make up and other side of the game. For instance, stats are good, but having to go through half the 100s of NRL players to find Kurt Christensens season stats is annoying. Perhaps have it all set out teams instead of everyone in one massive list.

Apart from the minor errors with incorrect rules

- Franchise Mode
- Online play
- More International teams & Local competitions (AMNRL, etc) - I can't see the license fees being that expensive
- More customisation - can turn rules on or off.
- Replays at anytime, and saveable
- Player awards
- Ability to jump
- Ability to create your own set plays, which can be called during the game with an audible button.

The passing & kicking system from what I've experienced so far work great.

Double post

 

[Le Rouge]

my main prob with with this current version is that players play out of position. sometimes the Halfbacks are playing on the wing, the fullback is mostly the dummy half

things to improve on for next version is:

* some structure to the plays- in this version most of the time its just
passing willy nilly
some moves like decoy running and angled runs for inside balls.
etc are needed.
ie. this is the best part of a real life game of league how
organised and fluent each play is

* less sin bins and send offs - maybe referees placing guys on report

* maybe injuries could last from a few minutes to a couple of weeks

* it should be more obvious who has the ball - like in fifa04 how it
says at the bottom who has it, not just relying on number reading and
vossy to tell u.

* players on the bench and reserves should say what position they
play in

* try releasing the game in the US- expand the worlds knowledge of the
game eg. we play madden they should play league

It was mentioned 3-4 months back that since players won't be suspended, as a penalty they'll be sin-binned for 10 minutes for some offences.

IF you make a normal tackle you will never get penalised. Only if you go in with an aggressive tackle there's a chance. The percentage rate is about the same as it is in the NRL.

Oi Razor, hes just suggesting Ideas for the next version

 

[Freak]

Franchise mode is a must
Auto interchange option.
Club songs of winning sides after games
Better defence from computer from scrums
A bit of biff every now and then (not every game but sometimes)
Try celebrations every now and then (not every try but some, only if winning and in the 2nd half)
Player sound affects. EG When copping a big hit
Defensive & Attacking tactics. EG Up and in or slide defence.
minimise the amount of offloads way too many currently.
No penalties for forward passes
Kicking bar for kicking for touch
Scrum bar, but make it almost impossible to win against the head
Better music.
Video Ref
2 commentators

Thats about it!!

 

[Le Rouge]

more suggestion i forgot to mention B4

*when goal kicking the wider out u r the faster the accuracy thing should be so when u r in front it should be goin really slow.

* kickin off and kicking for touch should have a power meter, some time if u have a penalty in the middle of the field its hard to kick with enough power to even make the sideline


thanx, Le Rouge

You joking? Maybe you didn't realise if you hold down up the arrow gets longer, making for huge gains from penalties. Aim to bounce it into touch. If you are nearer to the sideline you can make up to nearly 50m gains from that. Close to, anyway.

Some need to read the manual

 

[League Freak™]

After playing the game I would be happy with.....


*Make the player faces more realistic.

*Allow Eye Toy support so you can import a picture of your own face into the game.

*Make its easier to trade players between teams. Madden Style Roster managment would be ideal for Rugby League. I found it so difficult to just add one created player to the Panthers side that Im a bit scared or tarding players around incase I stuff all the teams up.

*Allow the ability to save more then one Roster set per memory card. I would like to have a realistic roster and a fantasy roster....but I can only have one this year.

*Add player profiles to the game.

*Toughen up the defence when a scrum had been formed.

*Less sin bins. Throw in a few more penalties instead of so many sin bins.

*Allow the ability to make custom jerseys similar to the system in either Fifa soccer games or Madden 2004.

*Add more ratings to players and player positions.

Manual scrum feeds rather than auto. I got caught out when I turned around for a few seconds, looked back and Brett Kimmorley's standing there like he popped another testicle.

Also, from scrums, a look mode where you can see how many peopl are on either side from the halfback's point of view. Will allow you to spot gaps.

With the standard view, an option to move the camera along to see if you have an overlap out beside you, maybe using the right analog stick.

Fix up the interchange system. It's useless to interchange players, because the person you bring on ALWAYS goes to lock. When you make an interchange, have a couple of dudes come back from the bin, etc...it can lead to some mind boggling team line-ups. Jason Stevens at halfback!? WTF!

 

[ripper]

Why would you want a manuel scrum? theyve captured League scrums perfectly in this game

 

[-JJ-]

*When you make a massive break and then they tackle you the defence gets back in the line before you have a chance to pass the ball from the ruck. So basically either the slower players from opp team should take longer, or the PTB should be able to be even quicker.

ok the things I'd like to see in the next version are:

- Franchise/Owner mode with Rep Games included where they would be during a season.

- Decent Replays that can be saved.

- Better defence from scrums/taps ect.

- Players drop back when the other team is kivking for touch.

- Manual scrum, in my opinion it's not that important but it would just feel and look better when playin the game.

- Better Substitutions that are used by both the Human and CPU players.

- Maybe some mini games or Drills? A Trainin camp or something along those lines would be cool.

- Online Play with online Franchises/Owners Box aswell, I'm pretty sure Madden doesn't have that? Prove me wrong.

- Improve create a player and have it something like Madden
eg- When typing the players name it comes up with a keyboard that is easy to read.
- Players have prefered positions.
- Can put the created player straight into the team.

- Improve create a team
eg- Make your own jerseys with a variety of colours and numbers to choose from.

- Spear tackles and Head highs cause injuries, I play heaps of games and people get snapped but get straight back up and keep playing.

- For place kicks/drop goals, have a power meter.

- Have the weather conditions set out like Madden, how you adjust different things and it either makes it hotter or raining or even snowing (I wanna see another Canberra game like that )

- Licence some music to play during games or in the menus, be able to use the xbox harddrive to play music of that.

- Better cutscences. Maybe a few cutscenes of players givin eachother abit of a push after a high tackle, post try celebrations, shots of cheerleaders, choaching staff, benchies ect ect.

- Be able to pick a defence style, and maybe have an option to choose first and second receivers.

- Better camera angle that allows you to see what the numbers are on the back of the jerseys, either that or have the name of the player underneath the ball carrier. Or both.

- Better sound and graphics of course.

I love the game as it is now but the above is just the things I'd like to see put into the next version, though don't really care if they arn't.

 

[ripper]

So basically all the features Madden 2004 has

 

[Parra_Boy]

Well..........yeah!!

Thouhg some of them arn't just used in Madden, they are used in almost all sports games.

 

[Jono078]

Idea’s for the next league game on play station 2

• Firstly definitely better graphics
• Choose your referee like – blind, reasonable, strict
• Better season mode with transfers, training, more fmv
• Be able to restore your team example – a default button
• Better layout
• More music for when you score try’s
• Get more/better beta testers
• Cheat/codes
• More variety in the create a player mode
• Not so many fouls or penalty’s
• Make conversion’s like rugby 2004 where you can curl the arrow and choose how strong you want it

 

[Razor]

- For place kicks/drop goals, have a power meter.

For place kicks there is. Just press the forward button as you are kicking to kick further.
