How about like a footy show wrap up kinda thing (optional of course), like have Sterlo, Fats, Cheify and Matty (preferbly like reg) go over the scores of the games, and the odds for next week games. Also have them say how they played and who outstandingly performed well.
Also like a sunday footy show, have Fats and Gould with various guests jus talk about the games left to come for the sunday.
Injuries lasting longer than one game
Franchise (THANK GOD your doing it!)
Shots of coaches.
Have it, so you can model yourself in as a coach/player. using photos on PC or Eye toy for PS2.
Have occasional waterboys run in and talk to players.
Cheerleaders!
Have an unlockable "gimmick team" with the mascots like having the shark, the bunny and so on, there wont be enough so have players like Trent the air stewart and Reg Regan.
Have the greatest ever team, eg Sterlo, Walters and Sailor (okay, or whatever)
Change the way the team is after a try is scored against them.
Dont have so many bloody CPU offsides, lol. I've done my All-Star team and every second or so set im called offside!.
More stadiums like North Habour.
Multiple Refs and Ref voice-overs
Touch Judges, and have them call back a late shot or whatever.
IF on franchise mode, have the Judicery and have players on Report, so they can be suspended for a few weeks (ooh god, help us warriors, Faumuina- coming back this week!, seuseu and meli)
Definately have more emphasis in the Grand Final, i dunno like fireworks.
As people are saying, have Video Ref, possibly as an option.
have Vossy commentate , but have Rabs or Sterlo say something in a HUGE play.
Have captains, and refs talk to captains bout how ever many offsides or high shots.
Definately fix up the bug bout changing positions, so you dont have to use up your interchanges as much.
Have in like 10 minute halves, have the players especially props get really tired and need changing after like 3 or 4 mins into the half.
Have the CPU team take the easy two points when they get a penalty.
Have shots of the bench players, and Vossy say things bout em like " Price, the captain doesnt look happy jus watching on" and " Hohaia , waiting to be put on".
Also like when youve decided on a interchange, have the players warm up before they go on.
Ball Boys!
Man Of The Match, for everygame. Then have like on the Footy show, Man Of The Week. Then possibly, have like Footy Show Awards, and they show clips of like 5 Man Of The Weeks to show their BIG hits and Awesome tries, then have a Player Of The Year. Also have Rookie of the year, best try, best forward and so and so fourth.
KEITH GALLOWAY!!!.
Have it so you can CHOOSE an SOO squad, and those players dont play in that round. EG i choose to be the QLD coach, and i get to CHOOSE the players i want, so its not from a specific squad, and lets say im also coaching Melbourne, then Smith and Slater will be unavailable for that round. Same with the International Tests
Have Mascots walk around the park while your playing.
Maybe, watch the players in the dressing room, then walk out onto the field while they show the names (optional)
While the names are being shown, also have Vossy name all the players and positions AND tell us who's the interchange players are.
Ooh and a flop button, or something, you know.
Also (sorry) get the Hit-Ups and the completed sets stats working properly. Because i get to the last on like 9/10 times or so, yet my team is way at the bottom and i usually dominate with the ball in the games too
