    Serious supply issues with this. Gamestop just sold out in Stephens green.

    The cut of Reddan in this. Plays ok so far. Probably preferred rugby 2005 on the xbox as that is all I have to compare. The defending is a bit manic in this with the player selection the main cause of trouble.

    Yeah.. I made the boo-boo of 'removing players' from Leinster that are no longer signed. So now I don't have enough space, don't want to swap out players I already have...

    I just installed the project novo, which has reset everything, so I'll use the 'change player' function... So word of advise to anyone else.. DON'T REMOVE PLAYERS

    for xbox or ps3

    Comments on Leinster players:
    Strauss and Nacewa are very bad in this, even though they're 2 of our best players. O'Brien is below average too...
    Jennings and Hines are beasts! Very fast, great in the loose.

    Been playing it for the day, have gotten comfortable on hard... I imagine once I get comfortable on pro the game will come into it's own.. but at the moment finding it a tad shallow and lack of depth... lack of tactically changing running lines and stuff... should be able to set up first attacker, second attacker if available etc. and the defensive part is quite weak.

    I think if they just slowed the whole gameplay down a tad it'd make it more interesting... seems a bit fidgety at the mo. Got a feeling this game will be patched several times over the upcoming months.

    Just got the game today. I've played about 7 or 8 games, found easy and normal too easy so switched to hard. This is where I see some issues cropping up...

    It just seems impossible to keep possession for more than 3 or 4 phases before a turnover happens, like I could have the whole pack in the ruck but still lose it??

    My biggest issue with the game really is the attacking lines. There always seems to be a forward as first receiver and the scrum half isn't always passing from the ruck, the backline never lines up as it should do. This is where RWC 2011 gets it right (although it gets most other stuff wrong), it always has the backline lined up properly. There should also be an option for the out-half to drop back into the pocket for a clearance as he is always too flat (on the rare occasion he is first receiver). I do know you can pass straight to the out-half with R1+L1 but it doesn't work as well as it should.

    I also thought that any of the ridiculous offloading would be gone but no, it's not. On Hard difficulty, there was a game where the opposition went the length of the pitch just offloading every single time I tackled. Not even one ruck and they went in underneath the posts. It was annoying to say the least. It's fine if the team is New Zealand and they offload a good bit but the amount of offloading from teams like Aironi is just outrageous.

    That's just my first impressions anyway, maybe I'm doing something wrong but I really do hope some of those issues are fixed with future patches etc.

    On the offloading, reduce the offload success rate. That should fix it.

    Stick with hard or pro anyway, no point playing any lower. Took a while for me to start liking the game cause at first try it seemed a bit all over the place.

    You get use to it eventually and i found my team started to take a better shape as i got more familiar with the game.

    Everyone looks like they are from New Zealand though...

    Also Jennings in a beast!

    Too true on Jennings, I really like the pace of all the forwards in this to be honest. You needed a very pacey back to score in RWC for comparison. Some of the tries you score in RC are brilliant. Full back play is awful by players and AI alike.

    Brilliant game so far. Took me a few games to get in to it but loving it so far. Had to switch to club only career as the international team had fake names (real annoyance). Great gameplay though and definitely a lot more solid than RWC.

    RWC plays more like a 7s game. If the makers take it down that route, it'd be great.

    RC is significantly better, but still only a 7/10. There are plenty of failings.

    In Rugby Challenge do the players on the international teams (e.g Ireland, England & Wales) look like themslves and you only have to change their names and stats (if you want to) or do you have to change the whole player's appearance?

    Also you allowed to download the changed ("real" created ones) kits
    on PS3?

    You can't. Or at least I haven't been able to. There is an Xbox section on the Project Novo forums (here) where somebody has released a patch for 360. It's alright, not great. Nothing as extensive as the ps3 version and certainly nothing like those impressive screenshots! He has made a second version of his patch, but you have to donate to him to get it. :rolleyes:

    The players look/stat'd exactly the same as they are in the Leinster/Munster/etc lineup. So you just have to change the names. This can be tricky tho as the likenesses aren't the best. ;)

    ... or you can download the project novo file for the PS3, which will do everything for you.

    Although I spent a long time correcting the Leinster/Munster team as I felt they weren't stat'd correctly (and some of the likenesses were way off, Redden, SOB's scrumcap etc., etc.), and then you need to do that AGAIN to the Irish players as well.. painstaking.

    Although TBH, playing with the clubs is 100% more fun than playing with the national teams.

    I wasn't happy with the Leinster stats either so I changed them straight away. I was probably a bit too generous though and I messed them up and they are rated higher than the all blacks now! :(

    Project Novo installed, and the All Blacks are just unreal.

    No chance of beating them, ever.

    Anyone find passing/offloading a bit of a pain. So often for me simple passes seem just to go to no one.

    Also, on hard mode, turnovers are too easy. Pull everyone in, grab their scrum half, then pile all of your forwards in and turn it over.

    Haven't played against the AB's yet but I have noticed against certain teams it's ****ing mental trying to put down a player.

    The offload is a pain but I can understand why it's done since Rugby is a hard sport to create good AI for, you always end up cheating. But it's challenging none the less. Provides for some fantastic tries.

    I love thanking screenshots of this game though it just has that right look.

    i beat the AB's with Ireland in career mode. They had 90% possession and territory but somehow i sneaked two tries past them! Great day for Ireland :D

    Is it what, after waiting so long for the game i nearly cried...

    cant maul off a lineout,
    cant take a quick lineout,
    cant kick an up and under,
    no player can intercept the ball during a pass,
    cant make subs,
    cant change the starting lineup for games on line,
    the game dosent seem to know what offside actually is.
    Everyone online makes up for being crap at the game by just going the ABS the whole time

    ... and since when can john hayes do a spinning left handed offload while he is being hit by too guys that goes half way across the pitch.

    i mean a proper up and under.

    Unless im blind there is no option to make subs on the xbox

    Yes it is a game..but at 50 quid a pop.. you would think at least somewhat realistic would not have been a big ask
