Quote: Fishsta "Great start. If you're going to review a game, get it right. Every game I have owned on the PS, PS2 and PS3 uses this combination of keys... Name ONE that doesn't? '"
Odd, every single PS3 game I've bought uses O to advance and X to go back, except RL Live.
Quote: Fishsta "A licensing issue, and frankly not important. '"
Hmmm, well they had the licensing for RL 2 so is obviously a backward step. It is important for realism, of course it is don't be daft.
Quote: Fishsta "Maybe.'"
No maybe about it, the player stats are terrible and unrealistic in many cases.
Quote: Fishsta "Not true. '"
Really? Run down the field and tell me the players look any different other than player size etc
Quote: Fishsta "Yes, but again I'd question the importance of such a feature... All I've ever seen it used for is people making teams of max stat players to increase their chances of winning. '"
I think most people use it to update the squads so that after half a season it's not out of date. Or to correct some of the strange representative squads.
Quote: Fishsta "Never seen any players missing heads. Seen a few glitches online due to lag, but nothing really unexpected. '"
I've seen it in about 25% of games I've played.
Quote: Fishsta "Quick play the ball isn't an advantage?'"
Not when the AI cannot be caught offside or not square and so you get little advantage on the harder difficulties. Plus you can get quick ptb's from other than hitups anyway so theres still no benefit.
Quote: Fishsta "Tackle breaks and offloads are very important and size/stat dependant. You've clearly not put much play time into it.'"
And are also dependent upon speed into the collision, plus half the time offloads are merely intercepted by the AI opposition.
Anything else you want to tell me about what I've done without ever having met me? Or can we leave the pathetic arrogance aside, just for once eh.
Quote: Fishsta "You not used the cut-out pass options? Try combining running from dummy half with a pass. Plenty of options.'"
Of course I've used the cut-out options, its still not anything close to looking realistic with no dummy runners, out the back options or A ball options. It's merely a simple pass to the 2nd/3rd/4th player in the line instead of the 1st. And it often leads to unrealistic intercepts.
Quote: Fishsta "Again, not true. YOU'RE NOT DOING IT RIGHT.'"
I've played over 70 games against the AI on differring difficulties and not once received a penalty for offside or not square at marker. It's easy to catch them offside with quick ptb's but never ever get a penalty.
Quote: Fishsta "And that's why you won't ever win or achieve your 50 impact tackles trophy.'"
I couldn't give a toss about trophies, I don't play games for trophies I generally play games to be entertained. In the case of RL Live I want to play a game that closely mirrors rugby league. Sadly RL Live fails miserably.
Quote: Fishsta "How so? '"
On both grubbers and high kicks the kicker is too quick to move forward and doesn't have their momentum affected by actually putting a kick in. In dome cases of grubbers this would acceptable but not every single one and certainly not for high kicks.
Quote: Fishsta "Not AWFUL per se, but annoyed with it calling players "Meninga" for no apparent reason.'"
I really do think it's awful in the new generation of games. It hasn't been improved since the original game and sounds stilted and unnatural.
Quote: Fishsta "In that players don't immediately take the field, maybe.'"
Maybe? It's wrong. Players are only interchanged during stops in play whereas in reality they are interchanged whenever the team has the ball.
Quote: Fishsta "YOU'RE NOT DOING IT RIGHT. You need to play tactically, note where the full back is, kick into space, kick low if you must, the grubbers are very useful for forcing drop outs.'"
I know how to play tactically thanks. I force plenty of drop outs and pressure the line. Yet in a game of rugby league that kind of pressure affects the defending team's stamina and fitness ie grinding them down. In Rugby League Live this does not happen. The entire essence of the sport is missing from the game.
Quote: Fishsta "You haven't played the upcoming RU World Cup Demo yet then. Now THAT is awful. I think your problem is that you're just not very good at it, not that it's a bad game.'"
How many times are you going to try and tell me things despite never having met me. I've played the game plenty, I've won it on every difficulty thanks. It still doesn't excuse the fact it's a terrible game. I can only deduce that either you are letting your arrogance affect your judgement and are still p[ii[/issed off at being banned from the Leeds board, or you know sod all about rugby league. Because Rugby League Live does not come anything close to accurately representing a game of rugby league.
