When is the next EA Sports Rugby game coming out? There was no rugby game in the 09 series and there doesn't seem to be a Rugby '10 either.
And what would you like to see in the next edition of EA Sports Rugby? I've made a list of what I'd like in the next rugby game (in no particular order):
1: Get rid of the "Star Players" option. Nobody likes it.
2: Make sure players are labeled with the right positions (eg: Piri Weepu and Hernandez to have "Fly-Half" as one of their positions, which they don't in Rugby 08. And Tamati Ellison to have "Fullback" and "Wing" etc...)
3: Be less harsh when players are out of position (Because in Rugby 08 when a player is "out-of-position", their name goes red and they make lots of handling errors. This is a problem because many players do not have all of the right positions equipped to them, and it stops you from playing them there.)
4: Get more licences for teams and competitons. (Especially for the Heineken Cup, Magners League and Top 14). It's annoying playing with ficticious teams like "Neath Swansea" (unregistered Ospreys), "Paris" (Stade Francais), and "Brescia" (Rugby Calvisano).
5: Better player and stadium accuracy (Stephen Donald looks nothing like his animated character, Cory Jane doesn't have a bald patch and Wynand Olivier should have long blonde hair, not short brown. Westpac Stadium has its tunnels in the wrong places. Just a bit more accuracy, please, EA Sports?)
6: Francois Steyn's Kicking Power > 95 (He's rated a pathetic 74 or something...).
7: The Hurricanes are NOT the Super 14 wooden spooners. They need a rating much higher than 69. At least make them better than English second-division relegators Bristol. Please.
8: New Zealand Rugby World Cup 2011 stadiums. (Or at least have North Harbour Stadium, Rotorua, Yarrow and Invercargill)
9: Bring back the B&I Lions and the NZ Maori.
10: More stadiums from the Pacific, Japan, Namibia and the European minnow countries (eg: Russia and Romania). Give each International team a stadium from their own country.\
11: More competitions (eg: Pacific Nations Cup, Air New Zealand Cup, Magners League, Top 14, Currie Cup, European Nations Cup and the Top League). I'm not demanding ALL of them, but it would be nice to have more tournaments in the game.
Well, that's about all (I just realised how long my list is)... I was wondering if anyone had anything to add to that list or that they disagreed with, so all comments welcome!
