I dont know how many of you play this game, because its obviously not the most popular sport around and even to play the playstation game you have to know the very complex rules.I reckon its got most of the rules and graphics spot on, but I do have a few problems with it, so as much as I love playing it, I'm going to be a nerd and complain about it on the internet.First problem, playing players out of position.Why if you play someone out of position do they autamaticly have a bad game? Example, James Forrester is an out and out back row forward, but has played many games for Gloucester at 12, so why wont I do so on the playstation? because the game will make him the worst player on the pitch. Same story with Steve Thompson, who started life as a flanker, and still plays there ocasionally for saints, but I cant do so on the playstation because he will automaticlly drop every ball that goes his way. Now thats the stuff I can live with, but the problem is, payers are frequently changing positions. For instance Leguizamon moved to London Irish, and was soon transfered from a 6 to an 8. On the playstation I cant play him in what has turned out to be his best position.Another huge problem I have with the game is injuries to props.Because the front row is such a specialist position, if your replacement prop is injured you are requiered to bring on your original choice but you cant do this on the playstation, and if your replacement prop was injured, you must go to uncontested scrums. On the playstation, there are no uncontested scrums, you just have to put someone else in the front row, a normal player, and this creates a whole new issue. In real life, put an ordinary player in the front row of an international match and he will break his neck straight away, no doubt about it but on the playstation he will scrum all night and just lose every one of them, totaly unrealistic.These are my only real issues with the game, its by far the best rugby game on the market but there are vast improvements still to be made.
