    What's the game like in terms of difficulty? Is the AI clever in attack?

    I had to move up to pro difficulty within 24 hrs of first playing it.

    So far I am finding Pro pretty decent to be honest. I think you get a mix in it, with Leinster I am winning a lot of the games I should, but still having tight games against bigger teams, pulling off a shock away win to French sides but every now and then slipping up to a lower team like Aironi :(:o

    Just completed my first six nations in career mode... I won 4 out of 5 games. Had a handy enough win at home to France, and away to Italy, I beat wales by a handful of points away and beat Scotland with a 80minute + drop goal from Rob Kearney, which was a cracking tough game and a great way to win.

    Last game at Aviva against England for Grand Slam.... lost 17-6 while i dominated much of the game I just could not break down their defence line. Disappointing to lose, but in some ways I was very satisfied by the game nonetheless as there is a good element of difficulty mixed with realism in it at Pro level for me at the moment

    May have to give that a shot so. Have been playing on hard for a while and am finding it a little too easy, especially against the weaker sides. The only thing about Pro I'd be wary of is the place kicking. I still find it a little awkward on Hard....

    Not much different to be honest. I still find it as tough. Interestingly I have a higher success rate with sexton and o'gara and about 15-20% lower with necewa and Kearney. Can't tell why it's harder with those players, I guess the cursor moves quicker or something

    just delete the saved games file in the game utility. Make whatever edits you want/install project nova and then re-install patch

    So from looking at people's reports on the Sidhe forum, it seems that you're basically screwed if you don't have Live for Rugby Challenge. From a longevity perspective at least. If you can't move players from league to league then your career mode is ballsed from the beginning. Is it just 13 seasons of the same league, does anyone know?

    Really want to get this game but very unimpressed with the looks of the 'patched' EU version.

    i've tried that, but the game automatically recreates a new patched file on boot up. It appears the patch is undeletable. Fcuk

    the patch makes the game a hell of a lot better, the licensing issus are a pain in the ass though.

    Cheers man. It's just very annoying as I don't have Live (no WiFi dongle thing for the 360) and I was really looking forward to a good in-depth career mode like the football and American football games have.

    It's not perfect but it is the first in a hopefully long line of rugby challenge games that will get better with each iteration. If you like rugby and want to play a rugby computer game this is the only one to get. Rugby World Cup is a joke of a game, it was a complete waste of team licenses. Hopefully Sidhe can get these licenses for the next game.

    The career is 13 season's with your chosen team/s you can pick either international & club or just one of them. It includes the world cup every 4 years, the heineken cup, six nations or tri/four nations every year as well as the domestic comps.

    Got my copy today. Used the Project Novo option file and it worked away grand, well for the international teams anyway as that's all I played so far :)

    ps3 or xbox?

    PS3. PSN name is Mike_Ireland if you fancy a game sometime


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,433 ✭✭✭✭thomond2006


    Downloaded the game this morning from steam. My computer isn't able to handle the game though. :( I tried lowering the graphics quality, resolution, everything.

    My graphics card is an Intel G41 Express Chipset, I'm guessing that's not very good? :o

    I think this has a better gpu! ;)

    You should get it for PS3 dude if you have it. Think the majority of folks around here are getting it on PS3, we could do some leagues... Gonna grab my copy today.

    What do I need to pay to get a decent system?

    I don't have a modern gen console.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,308 ✭✭✭✭.ak


    How long is a piece of string? I've put together decent gaming rigs for as little as 300 quid.. but that'd be the lower end of the 'decent' spectrum. But you'll find many people keen on gaming spending upwards of 2k to put together a killer system.

    Building your own machine will always work out cheaper... Unless you can find someone's old rig on adverts.ie?

    Hrmm, the bare bones of it seem fine. Just the GPU. Is it a lappy or desktop?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 382 ✭✭Mister Dread


    Any good deals in the shops for this? I'm torn between ps3 and xbox.

    PS3. You'll save yourself a fortune on buying into Mickey Soft's live crud.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 382 ✭✭Mister Dread


    I know, gave up the live years back as I'm not a fan of online. Much prefer the xbox but I think I could enjoy online rugby. I'm hitting the shops now so will let you know prices.

    Desktop

    So it is just the graphics card? (or whatever you call it!)

    Yeah it seems that's an Intel GMA (integrated chip on the motherboard). They're okay, as far as I know they use the CPU to help out with graphic tasks... But those integrated things just aren't ever up to running decent games.

    You can get a fairly decent graphics card now for around 100euro. Spend more on it though if you plan on playing more games etc.,

    You need to find out what type of cards your mobo takes. Most modern motherboards take PCI-Express, but if it was a manufactured PC you never know...

    Is there a make (Dell, HP etc?) and a model no?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,433 ✭✭✭✭thomond2006


    It's a Packard Bell, don't know where to find the model name.

    I might have my old GeForce 6200 somewhere, could that worth a try?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,106 ✭✭✭andrewdcs


    Gah! Credit card I have on play is expired or would have arrived today!
    :mad::mad::mad:

    Hmv have yet to get it in but it's ordered. Didn't get a price. I don't like spending 50 quid on. A game.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,249 ✭✭✭Stev_o


    It's being sold at 54 at Game which imo is shocking considering what Madden 12 was priced at when it's released. Anyway it's a fun game and on the PC we are already in motion to getting a full roster update.


  • Registered Users Posts: 117 ✭✭Mr.SlumDuck


    Beyond disapointing not being able to move players to International Team. I cant spend the endless hours editing the teams from scratch. So its basically got no International teams for me. Such BS. Also its evident that Lomu hadnt heard of Healy/O Brien who have low stats. McFadden isnt even on Leinster. Game play is good but this is such a cluster ****


  • Registered Users Posts: 370 ✭✭JonnyF


    had a quick spin of it at lunch there, 5 minutes really played Leinster Connacht. The graphics are great but it's last year's squad's for both teams which is disappointing. Not that I care that much about jerseys but they could have uploaded a this season's squads to the game, especially given the delayed launch here.

    Players look good, like real people but are not likenesses of the real players. Pretty much just height and hair colour match.

    I rushed into a game after doing the tutorial and first impressions are that it doesn't play as smooth as RWC11 but that may be down to me trying to play it like it's RWC11, fair few passes going to deck, hard to pull of moves like the sidestep and fend.

    Commentary is woeful, Justin Marshall and Grant Nesbitt barely keeping up with play and saying nothing of consequence.

    I'll be able to give proper feedback after giving it a real test drive tonight but I'm optimistic, it definitely seems a lot less arcadey than RWC11 and all of the teams and comps give it a lot more depth, will see how it handles once I get the gameplay sorted in my head.

    Hang on, so you CANT edit players, only make new one? And even then you can't swap new for old???

    AHHhhhhh sakes, every review / comment I've seen says they're editable!
