Discussion about this new game

[trab_pu_kcip]

well first off i'd like to say, after being on a tropical island for 3 months then to go on the internet for the first time and to discover a rugby league 3 title is scheduled for release was somewhat satisfying, despite the small inconvenience of it being a solo platform release, because i had been craving to see it happen ever since the announcement of rugby league 2. i was then slightly disappointed to discover that the broncos had dropped out of the top 8 after starting the season so well, i blame the dragons and the bulldogs for stealing all their good players.

so i am very pleased to read that there is a.i support play, which i assume means that wingers will be smarter and forwards will run on to the ball.
i am a bit confused about the toyota cup being included, not necessarily because it is there, but because it has being prioritized ahead of the qld cup and the nsw comp, which are undoubtedly better competitions and have more nrl players going in and out of teams weekly.

The bit about 'Advanced player management', i wonder what this means exactly, i can imagine, but i have a pretty wild imagination. Could it mean that player contracts are more in depth? players have morale? player specific training, such as goal kicking, or general kicking?

player of the year, club records, manual rep selections, all top class additions that have been severely lacking, i applaud you magic men with key boards.

so the next question is if this game does prove successful on the wii, what then? pc and ps2 versions? or will sidhe just bide their time, gather more information, more money, more of whatever it is that helps them make diamonds out of coal, then release RL4 on ps3 and xbox 360?

other things that i think should have been included are a new jumping system with different camera angle, im proved goal kicking, inside runners, improved passing and interceptions.

what will the sprinting be like? the old tap for a while then hold?

I agree! Buying a winger for $400,000 is insane!

Because of the Greedyness of the Broncos, now themselves and the Storm are suffering.

$400,000 for a winger is crazy. I didn't even like the fact that SBW was getting paid that, and he was more involved.

Players like David Stagg, Nathan hindmarsh and Alan Tongue should be getting paid that money, not some flash 19 year old that has 5 runs a game and 3 tackles a game.

LOL! We've highjacked this topic and turned it into a Bronco's poor buying decisions topic.

$400k is good to pay for a centre, halfback, fullback, hooker or 5/8. Maybe in the extreme a backrower. Props and wingers all do the same thing. It's very rare to have an especially good winger. If you think about it. The form wingers in the comp are usually just the finishers in the form teams in the comp. This year, Bryson Goodwin and Brett Morris.

Taniela Tuiaki is a great winger. Here's a guy who is going so strongly for a team that, although has played well the last few weeks, was kinda crappy at the beginning of the year. But Tuaki was always playing well.

Michael Weyman and Justin Poore got called up for Origin and their fill ins were the same as them. Weyman and Poore are good, but not worth $400,000. Never pay more than $100,000 for a prop or a winger!
