At the end of the day, I own an iPhone and iPad and wrote it for myself to play

And it is lots of work to keep that app going and improve it, so at this stage I have no time to make an Android version as well, despite the fact that it has more market share. Market share isn't really everything. But point taken





At the moment, the player will run to wherever you touch (and you only have to touch once). so if you touch the 10m line, they will run to it (and a little bit over it). But I'm looking into adding a joystick and buttons, which means you can just hold the joystick down - that might make it easier.

As for the goals - yeah... lets just say computers are really good at maths. i'll fix that. Haven't gotten around to it yet. Sorry



Regarding penalties, that is a good point you make. Currently, if their players are offside, they will kind of just run away and not get involved, so you never get a penalty. But i will change it so that if they are in your way (or if you can run into them), you will get the penalty. there are a few other offside rules that need to tighten up too i think (like if you are in front of the kicker you need to leave 10m to the receiver - i think that sometimes they sneak inside the 10 and don't get caught...cheeky buggers).

Thanks for the tips!



Kickoffs/dropouts are always caught on the full, if they are high enough. If you are receiving a kickoff, don't touch anything and the nearest player will automatically run to where it lands, so you too can partake in the catching-on-the-full. If the kickoff is low, or placed really well, then no, it won't get caught on the full (but a high kickoff that none catches is incredibly hard to do). Much like real rugby league in that respect (i guess 99 times out of 100 a high enough kickoff is caught on the full).

Joystick/pass button is currently being looked at. Just trying to get the implementation right. My personal pet peeve with other rugby/rugby league games is that if you want to pass back for a kick, most of the time you can't. it can only go to first receiver. Will see how i go with that, but yes it is coming.

Regarding tackling players into touch, I like the idea. Will add it to the list

thanks for the ideas!

I won't because i'd do a pretty cr@p job, that's why i wouldn't attempt it.

Point being that someone has asked for opinions and i've given mine. I'm not criticising anyone who likes it but my opinion is that it is terrible.

Credit must go to the developer though for finding a niche market and creating something he can generate an income from. If this was a football game it would be FREE and still a very poor app!!

i have to agree with you.

the 1st app such as this that i bought for my iphone. and although i aplaud the developer for his/her efforts, it really isnt that good.

ill still use it on the train mind.

I think it's good fun and for a couple of quid, I've had more than my money's worth out of it already.

Enjoyed the early release, and the addition of full competitions has given it an extra dimension. Haven't tried the new 'joystick' controls yet because the touch-screen stuff wasn't a problem for me. Only thing I would say is that once you've mastered it, it can be quite easy - I'm well clear at the top of Super League with Salford at the moment, and if you're running with the full back or wingers, line breaks seem to quite easy to come by.

I'm playing on an iPad, incidentally - can imagine it being a bit cramped on an iPhone screen, though I've no first-hand experience to go on.

Did you play with the joypad controls?

Is there any chance of some difficulty settings, once you've mastered the controls it gets a little easy-I've won all competitions comfortably with the worst teams.
