Deary me, seem to have touched a nerve here.
Quote: Him "Odd, every single PS3 game I've bought uses O to advance and X to go back, except RL Live. '"
Then you won't have a problem naming one.
Quote: Him "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. '"
Clearly I put making a decent game higher on the list of priorities than you do.
Quote: Him "No maybe about it, the player stats are terrible and unrealistic in many cases.'"
You're right, according to the stats Leeds Rhinos are the best team in Super League. What an oversight!
Quote: Him "Really? Run down the field and tell me the players look any different other than player size etc'"
Not sure what you're getting at here. Tell you they look any different other than "size etc". By etc, I take it you mean face, hair, skull cap, skin colour etc? Then yes, they all look different.
Quote: Him "I think most people use it to update the squads so that after half a season it's not out of date.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.'"
Again, I spend more time playing the game than tinkering.
Quote: Him "I've seen it in about 25% of games I've played.'"
0% of game I've played. Previous poster is right, your PS3 is faulty.
Quote: Him "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. '"
The AI CAN be caught offside or not square and DOES get penalised. I think this is like the X and O thing, it's patently NOT TRUE.
Quote: Him "And are also dependent upon speed into the collision, plus half the time offloads are merely intercepted by the AI opposition. '"
No they're not. Again, a blatant lie. First off, if you're playing to win then you should be respecting possession. Just like real life, you can't expect to throw an offload in every single tackle and retain possession. At the moment, because I've unlocked all the obvious unlocks (and some not so obvious unlocks), I'm trying to attain the platinum trophy, I think this may unlock more features, grounds or even teams. As part of that I need to perform 1,000 offloads. I aim to do this whilst racking up my 300 wins and 50 impact tackles. Whilst most offloads don't count because they go to ground (albeit backwards and recovered), not that many are intercepted. I'd estimate it's about 10% that get picked up by the opposition.
Quote: Him "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.'"
Oh, here we go, found out in the lies, here come the insults. I'd hazard a guess that you're a Leeds fan given the way you've blown up here.
Quote: Him "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.'"
Ever used the "dummy pass"? The player you throw the dummy to speeds up into the defensive line. You can actually dummy your first player along the line and then cut-out to the second, the first will run into the line. You can also do the reverse and then pass along behind him.
Quote: Him "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. '"
Then you're not doing it right. I've played probably a hundred games and managed to get offside against the AI on several occasions. It doesn't happen often, but then the AI doesn't TRY to give penalties away.
Quote: Him "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. '"
I try and attain trophies as a specific challenge when I've played a game to the point I'm satisfied I've mastered it. In that time I've certainly been entertained.
Quote: Him "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. '"
OK, I'll check that. The last time I played I'm sure the kicker "skips" into the kick and has to regain their pace again.
Quote: Him "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.'"
But again, commentary isn't vitally important.
Quote: Him "Maybe? It's wrong. Players are only interchanged during stops in play whereas in reality they are interchanged whenever the team has the ball.
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. '"
Of course it grinds them down. Stamina levels drop, especially when you play 40 minute halves. More broken tackles, more dropped ball, and stamina drops quicker defending than it does attacking.
Quote: Him "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.'"
I've surmised that from your lies, from your untrue statements. You say no other PS3 game uses X to go forward and O to go back. I have owned close to a hundred PS, PS2 and PS3 games and EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM uses that combination. This includes games such as Modern Warfare 1 & 2, Black Ops, Uncharted 1 and 2, Tekken 6, Street Fighter 4, MGS4, Virtua Tennis 2009, and many more. I'm curious to know what games you own, as you must own NONE of those "big name games". You say you can't get penalties against the AI for offside or not square at the PTB. I have had penalties for those infringements, against the AI. So again, your statement ISN'T TRUE. It's black and white, so much stuff you have claimed NOT TRUE.
As for the Leeds board, why would I be annoyed (See how I don't have to stoop to your level of AUP-breaking gutter language and swear-filter avoidance to reply)? I was banned because another user broke the AUP saying I was a racist (despite me never making a racist statement in my life) and I asked a moderator to take action against the libellous post. How he came to ban me for that I don't know, but based on that action, it's clear that right-minded people who don't break rules aren't welcome there. I can see why you fit in so well if that's where you belong.
Like I said... found out in the lies, watch the insults and gutter-language abuse roll.
