The game is ludicrous online. The fend is far too effective.

Having played it for a while now on different settings with different teams, in general I'm very impressed. It's a massive improvement on the last effort.
There are a few niggling little things:
The interceptions, even as MadDogg points out if you don't use long balls close to the line, there are still too many. Especially as you can rarely take advantage of making an interception yourself as the camera turns around and means you stop running, or you were pressing a tackle button so end up kicking the ball.

Too many times I find props running out on the wing or at centre, and often find centres and wingers well out of position in defence, defending in the middle of the pitch.

As El Camo says, the fend is far too effective.

It might be me being a bit rubbish but I find it very difficult to get a drop goal away even using the tactic and pass to playmaker button. Also the pass to playmaker isn't always very useful, despite having McGuire and Sinfield near the play the ball I've used the pass to playmaker button and ended up with Darrell Griffin, Ian Kirke and Kallum Watkins receiving the ball. Who aren't exactly my first choice when trying to kick my way downfield.

Customising teams isn't easy, and the limit of 14 is annoying.
Also, how do you replace the original teams with customised one in the franchise mode? Or is it not possible?

On the whole, especially considering the last effort, I think these are mostly minor issues and its a pretty good game overall

I'd say as a whole I'm very impressed.
If the interceptions, fend and in-play kicking (which was actually better on number 1) were sorted out, it would be a really good game.

Anyone online on PS3 fancy quick couple of games> Only at rookie level though so give me a chance!

I'll give u game if your on any time - gamertag is TyraelX

When you select your team to use in franchise mode, I think you click Y to replace the original team with an edited/created team.

When playing as a custom team in career mode how do I select my heritage or vintage shirts? They're listed on the team info screen in the footy factory but I only get the choice of home or away.

Does anybody know if there's is another level harder than "Legend" that is unlockable finding the Legend mode a little too easy now!

2013 patch announced - released 19th June

I have this on Xbox. Turned the game on and said there was an update. I downloaded but then after, it says I have to pay 4720 Microsoft points. That seems an awful lot?

Don't know about Xbox 360, but I noticed its only £19.99 on the Playstation store. Although I don't know if the patch is included, well worth it considering it was £49.99 when it was released

The 4,750 ms points is for the whole game - its about 800 ms points for the 2013 updated squads which works out at about 6 or 7 quid

nope it's just the normal game, i bought it for 17.99 due to being a ps+ subscriber. i think it's 6.49 or 6.99 more for the 2013 teams.

glad i finally picked it up though, even with it's flaws and quirks it's playable which considering it's our only option is a relief.

im not playing an online match until i learn to kick and kick defend... defeding from bombs seems a little random at times, the play can be ready in the target area then darts off at the wrong moment, makes for comical replays

ive downloaded the update and I now have options for super league 2013 but its got a padlock on it...can someone tell me how i can unlock it (xbox) thanks
