TableTop Cricket general discussion

not sure you can build a rugby game around taking conversions!

It's pretty realistic - The modern game (well, for the last 20 years) is all about the boot (unless you're New Zealand). The running game is just to get you in range. :) They're trialling different points systems to try and change the emphasis back to open play: I watched a game built on a 2pt penalty, 3pt conversion system and it was totally different. More like NFL.

A good kicking system would be a good start: drop in an analogue-stick-only pass and move system and you're on the way. For me the most important thing for a rugby game is to control the direction of play rather than the players directly, if that makes sense: Madden worked this out years ago, making you feel skillful because you're directing play, rather than moving the player (which is kinda boring).
 
Well.... Rugby isn't meant to have a penalty shootout to crown the World Cup winner!

Wow. That's a long memory. I would have thought that the 1/4 final in 2007 (which we also won on penalties) would have been fresher in the mind, although I guess at least it wasn't in your own back yard. :)

They should remove the offside rule and just require players to bounce the ball every 15 metres, and play it on an oval, with another set of posts.

I think it would catch on.

Bonus: nudge towards the thread I made to talk about Rugby 15 itself
 
Big ant studios going to make wc game as well?
 
Will there be any new screenshots or trailers for TTC? Also is it true that it won't be available on Xbox 360?
 
I hope MS approve it for xbox360, been looking forward to it for a while

Unfortunately not :(

We do not have publishing rights for TTop on XBLA, we have it for PS3, Steam. Xbox One & PS4 will be later in the year during some other tournament that's going on in Britain.
 
Oh well that's a shame but good luck with it anyway!

That's great news...Yeah could have posted directly here rather than you posting it...Anyways thanks..
 
Given I know it will get back here because someone will re-post it, normally @MattW, I've become a little lazy :)

I'll try to get info here at the same time it goes to twitter/FB. I am still here at least four/five times a day most days.
