All i want tobe able to do is update the teams. That was a major bone of contention with the last one.

I'd assume that you can. It says it has online player sharing so it would be stupid if you couldn't then edit the teams.

I'm waiting for a gameplay trailer to give us some idea of how it plays!

A RL game must be so hard to make with the action being so quick and fast paced.

I'll rent it to see what it's like first before spending £40-50 on it!

Is there P&R or do you have to apply for a franchise?

Dont be daft, its no where near as in depth as fullys post!

Cant wait, especially if there's championship teams and a a manager mode.

Christmas release date i assume?

I've been looking at the developer's previous game, the AFL one. It looks absolutely shocking, there seems to be about 1/20th of the animation frames there needs to be, as if you are watching a flickpage animation.

As much as I love RL, I just don't think it lends itself to being a video game. Soccer games are essentially Pong; move the ball from one side of the screen to the other. But RL has such different rules, in terms of the attack and defence running in two lines across the pitch, forward passes etc. Even trying to pick a camera angle that offers the best way to control the players is tricky; if you look straight on, you can't judge who is in front of whom, if you look from the touchline you can't see where the defense are.

I'm not much of a gamer but think Rugby League 3 for the Nintendo Wii is brilliant. I'm sure if the demand was there they could have further developed the game for all consoles.

Agree with rugby league 3; the franchise mode is decent, the graphics are ok and the gameplay is good. However i cannot play with the remote which is the main point but is resolved with a game cube controller.

As an Apple Mac fan of many years and rabid hater of shoddy PC's - are you telling me there is actually something PC's do well! (Not that I can argue with you because I have no interest in computer games no matter what the platform).
