Even though I probably wont get a reply, ive sent EA Sports a very detailed email regarding the possibility of a Rugby League game in the near or distant future explaining...
Quote Sidhe
Hello,
Im Mike and im an avid rugby league fan. My passion, along with many other millions of fans world wide is undoubted, however when it comes to general entertainment, we've been starved of anything remotely interesting when it comes to rugby league games on the XBOX 360, Playstation, Nintendo and PC.
At this moment in time, im aware that an Australian company called "Sidhe" have produced two previous games for the fans of this sport, called "Rugby League" and "Rugby League 2". Im not sure if you've been on this game before, but the result is pretty woeful in all honesty. The fans flocked in they're millions to buy this game, and after a while it was hard to get hold of a copy because of the sheer scale of the demand.
The fact the game didnt deliver complete satisfaction to the fans didn't matter, because it was a rugby league game afterall and people merely settled for what they had.
Im a big gamer myself, and have been collecting all of the Madden NFL titles for almost 10 years now and the game play, graphics and general art work is fantastic, similarly to FIFA football, Fight Night, and so on. Im also aware that EA Sports has in the past developed several "rugby union" games which were popular at the time of release.
At this point you've probably guessed what my email is about. When will EA Sports develop a rugby league game? If you can manage to create a rugby union game, where the numbers of supporters are very similar to that of rugby league world wide, why is it rugby league doesn't deserve a chance?
I understand the amount of time, dedication, money and research that has to go into each game, although I honestly believe that if EA Sports developed a Rugby League game, it would sell in its millions! They are several prime leagues in the UK, france, Australia and New Zealand, all of which could be added into the game.
Is they any slim chance in any shape or form that this would ever get the go ahead? If you like, I could start a petition for rugby league fans to sign stating how much a rugby league game by EA Sports would mean to them? At the end of the day there's two things to gain from this.
Money for EA Sports, and pleasure for rugby league fans....everybody wins!
