As I say guys the "5 weeks" is only what someone was claiming on another forum! I am really hoping that we see delivery this week especially as they have been 'dispatched'.

My copy has arrived today so if you've had an email to say it's due this week you should receive it any day now. Think I got my dispatch email last Wednesday so 1 week for delivery from NZ including a Bank Holiday isn't bad at all.



Currently having a bash at playing a season in Super League to try and get used to the game (I'm finding it difficult at present even on easy level).



I've seen on other forums that some people aren't happy with the kicking aspect of the game but personally I find it much better than Rugby League 3 on Wii.



I'm just waiting to see what will happen with regards to squad and kit updates as you can't transfer players between teams yourself.

why does this game only come out over here on november 2nd

As far as I am aware it is something to do with getting Kyle Eastmond on the cover art for the UK version and they had difficulty with this but I don't know why.

Weak pound to the dollar or something.



Basically didn't want loads of Aussies importing and not getting as much money from sales over there.

He was probably injured for the phtoshoot...

Arrived this morning.. so far i'm very impressed!!

My only gripe so far is with the difficulty levels. Easy is too easy and on medium I am either getting 6-0 results or getting hammered by the likes of Salford! The game looks very good tho and much better than the previous versions.

when you order yours?



I ordered mine friday last week so 7 days ago.

I ordered mine back in August.. in the first week or so I think. It was dispatched last week n arrived today. Took exactly 1 week from dispatch to delivery. I heard others got theirs sooner tho. Hope u get urs soon mate!

Got mine yesterday.



It's one of those games where on your first few plays you think WTF is this crap but if you take the time to get used to controls and their timings, there is a lot of depth to the gameplay. Especially using the side view.



I had a match online yesterday which ended up 18-6 and there were tries from a grubber kick to the corner, a bomb which was fumbled by the defender in the air, a wrapped up attacker near the try line reaching out and putting it down over the line and a 30 metre break with a pass to a supporting player when the fullback tried to tackle him.



When you kick the ball, you can hold down X, (on the Xbox), and the player nearest to where the ball is going runs straight to it, which makes great tries from kicks possible. At the same time goal line defence is a lot better. Every tackle near the try line is either an attempt to shove them back away from the try line, hold them up or pull them into touch. No longer do you tackle them into the in goal area for a try.



I would honestly recommend this game but don't just play 3 matches, think "This is garbage," and stop playing. There is a steep learning curve but when you have got to grips with it, the basic gameplay of rugby league has been nailed. That isn't just me wishing it to be good because I'm a RL fan, my housemate who isn't into RL is enjoying it too. I can't reiterate enough though that side view is the view to use.

Have you bought an Australian Xbox 360 version of the game and it plays on your UK console?

I believe he has, yes
