Looks the same as Rugby 06. Can't see what the TRF guys are saying on it because they have put in a stupid rule where you must have at least 10 posts to view the EA forum. :

Has anyone got any news on this game? Has anyone played a demo, is it better that other Rugby games?

 

[aussie1st]

There has been no demo, been a few slight improvements from what I've seen. Kicking system is different to 06 and the comp actually passes when they have a 2 on 1 situation with the fullback.

Well, here's hoping, we need a decent Rugby game. Is it coming out on PC?

Rugby 06 was the best Rugby game I've played so EA have done well on the Rugby front.

This game was released on PS2 and PC a couple of days ago on Play.com

Rugby 06 was the EA/HB Studios team's best effort in any game so far, so hats off to them. Let's hope 08 is good, I'll be getting it most likely, 06 was so improved on 2005, even though visually it looked quite similar, the small tweaks were so important.

By the way Holdenator, Ian Healy disproved that urban myth in your sig a while back, he never swore at him.

Let us know what the game's like overall, it's AI and the amount of game-modes!
I've been waiting for a good rugger game as much as a good Cricket game.

I've got the game, don't have the time to play it atm, hopefully I'll have more time tonight. If you want any screenshots just let me know and I'll see what I can do.
