Don't wish to sound negative, but hope they've made some serious improvements to the gameplay, the others were pretty poor playability-wise IMO.



Still, as we can only dream of an EA Sports RL game I guess it's nonetheless good news.



C'mon producers, please have seen sense and added Biff on.

Hey have you invested in any of the new shirts mate?

Bought the home shirt from Sportsdirect last Thursday, but DW wanted to charge me £19.50 for JONAS 18 (

) so decided to hang fire with printing, robbing barstewards.

I've just remembered that you PM'd me about something similar ages ago.



I'll reply now.

Lol, sound.



Hey what's happened to Stan Butler on here by the way?

I agree, I remember playing a friend and it was a really close match, Was great till i side stepped his player, who then started running on the spot and then anouther dived through my player and i scored lol.

Gotta say the union game Jonah Lomu Rugby is still unbeatable for gameplay.

Pre-ordered today from GS, they say November release. I'll be happy with RL2 gameplay as I thought it was fine. Far better graphics would make it a winner.

Add me on PS3 for a complete whupping - matt_rs

i'll be getting this for the ps3 regardless

add me for ps3 - same name FrEaK-HullFC

I loved that game.

Codemasters just got so many things right - kicking, passing, side-stepping, running good angles, it was as close to a perfect rugby game as you'll ever get. For anyone with a PS3 which can play PS1 games its easily worth the 2 or £3 you'll pick it up for on that popular auction site.

Odds are this will be delayed in the UK just like the wii rugby game earlier this year. It has certainly been kept quiet by the developers who denied there would be a RL game on the 360 or PS3 so either it has been in development for a while or it is a rush job. Lets hope it is the former.

Also agree Lomu was an outstanding game and still stands up well now.

Personally I'll never be able to shake a feeling of apathy for upcoming RL games until EA Sports finally do one (which I know will never happen). Why can't they just take a chance and make one ffs.



When you look at the games they've made in the past (e.g. Nascar Racing?!!

), surely it wouldn't kill them to test the water.



Hopefully this will be a great game, but will always wonder what the greatest sports game brand could produce with the technology and knowledge that they have.



Can't believe I'm saying this, but would always be cool (in a way) to have Eddie & Stevo do commentary for a change.

Whos getting this game. and on what console?
PS3 or 360.

Is this game the same as RL3 for the Wii?

No its different Gaz.

Will be grabbing it on the 360 to see if it is any good, if it is i will go buy the ps3 version




As for EA doing it, well they did a rugby union game and it was pretty poor, and they are releasing another RU one in 2011. Nascar will sell well in America as they are huge fans of it, RL would be mainly limited to UK & Aus sales and will only make America if it is region free on the 360.

ill be playing it on my 360 when it gets fixed



Im currently deprived of my console for the next month or so

Yeah agree their RU series is patchy, but they used to produce some great RL & RU games in the 90's on the likes of the Mega Drive an arcade-style RL game by them would be ace.



Mods - can I post one or two clips from that popular site of these old games to illustrate the point?

can any one link me to a site were i can buy this game?

No uk sites have got it yet I think ,think I'm going to import it from OZ

Play.com will be one of the first to have it i presume, however not showing up on there yet.

but i thought it was due for release 2 weeks tommorow? and is their any overseas sites with the game on?

take the release bdate with a pinch of salt. Don;t expect it to hit the uk till Oct or early Nov.
