add me people lukebulls_1

Nice to see a small community of english players here. Add me on PSN, mattjolley, I'm away til the 19th december but I'd like a game against someone without lag, eventually!

Saint Ryan, everytime I replied to your invites the other week it timed out as soon as I accepted it. I dunno what was happening.

Dunno which game you're playing bud, but RL Live is awful. Anyone thinking about getting it, don't waste your money.

The issues with the gameplay itself are too numerous to mention but to say there's nothin intelligent about the AI would be an understatement. There's so much wrong with it - but surely something as simple as sticking a prop at first receiver on every last tackle is an easy fix and for £45 should've been. The sound and commentary are awful, the motion capture is awful, players jump around all over the place, it's repetitive and predictable, and the online mode is a joke as there's never anyone to play. If what I've read from people who've played a game online is true, I've nothing to look forward to either.

Absolute rubbish.

Agree with Oxford-pie-eater, I don't even play this game anymore.

Well, it's a big step back from the original Rugby League game on the PC, isn't it.

It's a shame, really it is, it plays more like the original demo.

1) It's IMPOSSIBLE to kick the ball out on the full with a Super League Team from the kick off. And believe me, I've tried. You need NSW or Queensland teams to get the distance to reach the sideline.

2) 40-20s... so far, even with wind assistance, I cannot get the distance for a 40/20, no matter what team I pick. Forget even trying in Super League.

3) Trophies don't seem to work. I had to win THREE matches with over 5 tries and a 100% kicking record before I finally received the trophy. As for the one awarded for a breakaway try from behind the 10 metre line, done it many times, still not got the trophy.

Online, it's ok. First match seemed alright, but then I played against someone with ridiculous lag, his player's stood still with me coming into the tackle, then suddenly re-appear behind my defensive line, leaving me hoping for a full back rescue, no chance at all.

On the plus side, it's a good challenge when you crank the difficulty up a bit. Thanks to Uncharted 2 running quadruple money on multiplayer over Christmas, I haven't invested too much time in the online side of RLL, but I will be now, so if anyone wants a match, the PSN name is Fishsta. PLEASE put "RLFans" or something in your friend request or I won't accept it (Anyone else get random people you've not even played against trying to add you?).

Yeah, if someone chooses an Australian team online, don't bother playing, they're most likely Australian. The lag from anywhere but the UK is horrendous.

I'd also add you on the ps3, but ... the game is crap. Not played is since about a week after it came out.

Kicking is a joke too, Cunningham and Wilkin are our kickers. I've never even seen Cunningham try and kick the ball more than 5 yards! That said, goal kicking is a huge no no, just got to hit and hope when you're more than 10 yards to the side of the goals. You should be able to choose where you wish to place the ball if your players don't have the leg power, complete joke.

I actually thought the goal kicking system was the best so far in the RL games. HOWEVER, what the developers REALLY need to look at is the interface to EA's Rugby 2001. I know it's an old RU game, but the kicking system in that was top notch, better than any other system I've seen in a Rugby or American Football game.

It's the lack of balance that annoys me more than anything. I'd been trying to kick as close to the touch line as possible, with the wind (of over 20 mph or kph or whatever it is), and still getting nowhere near it, try it with NSW and it's straight out of play. Cripes, if I can kick the ball out on the full IRL, surely any Super League player could do it, never mind the "designated kickers"!

2 games in a row and both times the other person has quit before half time!

and a 3rd quit! After the scores were 0 - 0 after 20 mins!

And StRoby just left with about a minute to go!

Annoying when people online always want to be the Aussie national side!
