After such expectation and delays, I was expecting to find the rumours that they were updating the squads to include the sun wolves and Jaguares in super rugby to be true. What else could delay the release of a seasonal game by an extra year. To load the game and see teams from a whole season before (2014/15 teams after the 2015/16 season) was a dissapointment. Also ratings had barely changed whatsoever and now you can't edit the players already on the game only created ones. Therefore as a Tigers fan. Manu Tuilagi at 70 rating is a joke. In terms of difficulty, the hardest one 'pro' isn't hard at all just the game almost tries to make you lose. It's tough but for the wrong reasons. Contests in a ruck for you don't work 95% of the time but for the opposition your players will stay away from the ruck to give them time to steal it from you. Also when I say tough, I mean tough if you haven't got an agile winger. The worst team can win by just passing to your winger and stepping the full back and sprinting in 7 times in a game making it unrelatable to the actual more physical style of rugby. However the game does have improvements. Sevens is interesting for a time before you realise how easy it is to score and it becomes boring. Online mode is actually playable for once but there is no sevens match,asking which is the only way to get a decent match in the mode. Be a pro is also good but your team is frustratingly useless and unless you increase the match time to almost real 80 minutes, most games will end 7-0 because your team cannot score and their team cannot score. U less you get a yellow and in ten minutes the score goes from 0-0 to 24-17 and then doesn't change. In my view it is a half arsed attempt at hiding the fact they haven't really done anyhting to gameplay or actually updated teams by adding new features. I literally will beg that they re release RWC 2011 again because since the classic '08 apart from rugby challenge it's been **** and even rugby challenge is starting to lose its entertainment value.
