Still remember playing the first Rugby League game on PS2, brilliantly bad. Every player looked the same and we were referred to as the 'Hull Sharks'. the novelty o playing as Hull FC sort of made up for most of the games short comings but the other games didn't seem to improve based on reviews so didn't bother again

might rent it and give it a go when it does come out, certainly won't put on my Christmas wish list

Seen some footage of actual game play on utube and it doesn't look half bad. pre ordered it anyway. Also found this review interesting. paraboxgames.com/?p=839

16th November release date in UK

Anyone played this yet?

wonder if there'll be squad updates next season

The KC looks really realistic, not checked out whether caravan park has a car boot yet

Anybody wishing to see the game demonstrated "hands on" can do so at Grainger Games Whitefriargate this Saturday from 2.30 pm onwards.

Stadiums look really good, the Super league players look nothing like the real players except for the Aussies in the squads. NRL players look good though.

Gameplay is a massive improvement on the last version and although it takes a while to get used to it, it is worth persevering with and moving up the difficulty levels.

That's a licensing issue, I believe.

Just think the ESL could have made some cash by selling the rights.

The same people who got the Stobart deal

The fact you can dive on a grubber to score is a big improvement.

have you seen the hullfc v hull kr game play video on youtube looks great!

My lad stuck 50 points on rovers the other day and was happy as larry

You could even do that in Rugby League 2....

Just little things like the player only passing from within the tackle occasionally, 40/20 not being easy, flat passes, deep passes etc that all work.
One little bugbear I have is the ease with which the computer intercepts when you are passing, but once you get into you learn when and when not to throw the ball out wide and when to chip forward. Also it is easy to get a repeat set of six with a simple quick grubber at their player and you pick it back up 99% of the time with another set of 6.

Still a major improvement on Rugby League Live and if they continue to produce the game the future versions will get better.

Well played JTP jnr



Virtual or Live, it's still Smashing Rovers!

What I like most is how you can sign players in the career mode! I've pre ordered mine, now just waiting for football manager which is out tomorrow

Every pass is a no look pass! The players still hardly shape to pass the ball, it just seems to fly away from them whilst they carry on running.

Can only sign after a full season though.

Looks absolute garbage.

I got the first one but i doubt i will be getting this one.

Just got it today. Anyone know how to change the match length and difficulty during career mode?

I've had it less than a week and I'm bored of it... Bought COD MW3 to play instead.

It's difficult to replicate rugby league gameplay on a console. I'd much rather see someone bring out rugby league manager game.
