What are peoples thoughts on rugby league live?

Finaly a league game on xbox 360 and ps3 but imo it looks no better than rugby league 2 on ps2

Imagine my shock horror on finding out that my impatient friend couldn't wait any longer and had this imported.

After playing for a good two hours this morning . . . . . . . .

WOW this is amazing.

Everything from the enhanced player likeness to crowd chants (unfortunately I've yet to play at Knowsley Road so can't confirm if the crowd shouts forward or calls there referee a ******* ).

The main notable improvement is that the kicking game has improved tenfold, with the added variety of kicking options that give you, and also your opponents that killer edge and for the Stevo fans Rugby League Live does have the chip kick option which when used works beautifully (a little chip over the defensive line and the regather to score).

The AI is the other notable improvement in that by playing games on the medium and hard settings you really do feel that your team is in a arm wrestle to get the points.

In the easy mode you'll still struggle to find those gaps but I would advise anyone when they finally get hold of this amazing game to start off at medium and learn the hard way, make your players work had to create those gaps for the break through.

The AI controlled opposition really does make life hard for you when trying to get out of your own half and when attacking the try line adding to the realistic experience of playing this game.

The video referee has improved beyond recognition, with it making frequent appearances than the previous games and now checking for on-side kicks and those all important groundings of which there are at least seven different types of grounding for tries (in the previous games we just had two for the video referee calls).

There is much more to add but I'll need to play for longer than I have done.

I've yet to try out the online play as my mate isn't hooked up, but I hope that come the end of November if we get enough people we can start a TRL season of sorts.

I would love to play Kenny a game on this, him being Castleford, myself Bradford

So then out of ten this gets twenty because it surpasses the previous four games by offering IMO the ultimate realistic Rugby League experience.

Now cue the usual rabble saying it's awful and no improvement on the previous one

Cheers mate..i wasnt to sure if i would risk it after the first 2.

i'll take your word for it and get it now

Can someone please provide a link to download as all I can appear to find is RLM2010. Cheers

mick it is an improvement on the previous ps2 and xbox versions. but its a step down on the Wii version that came out in the summer. They've changed the developer from the one that did the earlier versions and a lot of features that appeared in the Wii version have been stripped out/not implemented in the 360/ps3 version. Plus a lot of the lower division teams arent in it anymore.

Yes while the game play is better then anything we've seen before the let down is the poor franchise options and as you say there is teams missing from Championship 1, Championship etc etc.

After playing both Rugby League Live gets the nod over Rugby League 3.

Rugby League 4 should implement the good ideas from both IMO.

Cheers mate nice review. Im glad the gameplay is improved rather than just updating the teams, there was nothing more frustrating than your winger colecting the ball after a kick and randomly runnning into touch.

anyone know if i will be able to play this game on the mac?

Will be playing some more tomorrow so I'll add a few bits but from the first play it has improved ten fold, even if some of the games features like the franchise mode have suffered.

Not 100% on this mate, will get back to you.

no need mick, had a look around the web and found its only pc compatible!

absolutely gutted! was really looking forward to having a crack at this as another way to avoid my uni work!

thanks anyway though mick! much obliged!

You can get Rugby League Live instead though.

I suggest we start up a RL Fans League

already paid my deposit for it and would definitely be keen when its released for an online league! let me know!

Would be great to play a few people off here.

What console would this league be on?

I'm in if it's for ps3

!

It's always good fun when you post a record score on the Rhinos

I'm dissapointed with your 15 missed tackles, back to Roundhay park for more hill work!

Look at the 28 line breaks though



I wnat to see this kind of score down in Cardiff.

COME ON YOU BULLS!!!!!!!!

Just lost 18-4 to Australia playing as Scotland on the hard level at 15 minutes per half.

It was 6-4 till the 57th minute when Billy Slater just dummied his through up the middle of the pitch and thus went 70m to score under the sticks. It was highly frustrating, considering my fingers we're aching from repeatedly pressing the sprint/fend buttons.

The final nail in the coffin came just four minutes later when the bomb went up in the Smith outjumped Henderson for the score.

We did have a late try claim chalked off by the video referee for being held up over the line but despite the loss I feel like I've won, just for keeping the score very respectable.

One thing that really gets me is that the referee will give penalty after penalty to Australia for me being offside but yet they do it and I get nothing, despite the ring under the Aussie players feet being orange meaning he's offside.

I think I only got two penalties all game, one for a high tackle and one for holding down.

nah mick thats just the game tuning itself to be more realistic. It knows your a bulls supporter and has adjusted the reffing accordingly to give you a more realistic matchday experience.

I tend to get a little annoyed about the offsides too.

If I spot someone offside nearby, I tend to run at them from dummy half, Terry Newton style. But they inevitably just tackle me anyway and don't get penalised. I think it's more down to the fact any offside AI player in the game tends to get back the 10 before actually making contact, rather than the computer referee being against you


Whereas when you control an offside player, you don't automatically go back the 10 (and manually going back is very flaky to be honest). I tend to try and take control of the marker every time to avoid being constantly offside (as then the computer takes control of the defensive line and gets them back).

Anyone else find it stupidly hard to find people to play against online?

My xbox gamer tag is Josef1988 if anyone wants to add me for a game

I have a PS3 bugger or I would play you mate.

I hate playing the Aussies online because I go 6-0 up and then they switch off
