Mario,

Would you know the answer to the following gameplay questions?

1) Can the Loose (Lock) Forward pick up the ball from the base of the scrum rather than scrum half?

2) Can you "do a Jimmy", i.e. from a play the ball about a metre from the try line, have the dummy half attempt to power through the legs of the defenders to score?

3) For scrums and tap penalties, is there any "special plays" you can organise, or indeed can you call them mid-sequence? e.g. organise the attack for a "barrel" maneuver from a tap, obviously not in the style of Madden games for EVERY play!

4) Whilst fights are (rightfully) outlawed, could, according to aggression stats, a player retaliate once resulting in a double red/yellow card?

5) Is the (extremely rare) 8 point try possible?

6) Can a scrum be won against the head under any circumstances?

7) Could crowd noise include any (generic or specific and non-offensive) chants? Maybe as an unlockable for Wigan-Saints games, or other derby combinations?

not after much

just heard that the release date was now march 2010 oh well thats saved me having to buy a wii before xmas.

I can confirm that HES has delayed the release of the game until the start of the next season, March 2010, for logistical reasons I can't go into.

On behalf of Sidhe and HES, I'd like to thank those who had already preordered and apologise to those who were expecting the game soon.

will this now use 2010 teams or 2009 teams?

Will this mean it is coming out on PS3 or 360?

2010 I imagine, can't be that hard to switch a player from one team to another, can it?

I am guessing the kits will be the same though.

I think it's more likely going to be 2009 roster otherwise they will have to delay it even more.

Why would they? 90% of signings will be announced by January, it would take one person a couple of hours at most to transfer 100 - 200 players from one team to another, anyone who hasn't been signed up yet could be put in the transfer window/unassigned list, or kept in the squad they were part of in 2009.

I could do it myself in game, but I would prefer to spend the time playing it

HES is yet to determine what they want to do with respect to updated content.

But if yous were to update it, It would have to be delayed? Correct?

If we were to make any updates, then the title would necessarily be delayed beyond March, yes.

Surely it's more important to be accurate than out of date?
