We haven't seen a great rugby game from EA Sports since 2008, so we're about due for another one. Fortunately, we're getting it. The company announced today that Rugby 2012 is in the works for both Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3. The game is being developed by HB Studios, and is currently set for a late 2011 release. While that may be a long ways off, keep in mind it coordinates with the 2011 Rugby World Cup, which is taking place in New Zealand.
I bought this game when it first came out and it was only £20 so not much complaints about the price. but if you play rugby in real like and compare it, its like your playing a complete diffrent sport. every single back has hands from god. once jason robinson gets it youve scored. you can kick from ridiculous distance, but i geuss that what makes the game so playable. i agree that it would be so hard to make a realistic ruck system. hope theres a new one coming out so i can go on xbox live.
yeah the offloads are ridiculous, none of the offloads made in this vid would have come off in real life. and people like Dan Carter can kick the ball way too far.
If you bag on rugby the only reason you do it is because your to scared to play the sport and make out that its shit so you have an excuse not to play simple as that.

you can't judge it from a game. it looks stupid because not much effort is put into ea's rugby franchise vs football or basketball. If you knew how to play you would realize how difficult and dynamic the sport is. Rugby players are incredible athletes. its like football with no pads and no stopping. takes balls, its one of the most violent sports out there.
let me guess, you just want an argument, because your a soccer player, you wouldnt actually dare tell any rugby player you dont like rugby, because you ARE A bitch!
so, judging by your screen name you skate, thats a sport isnt it... pfffff, you piece! its your sport because when you went to play rugby you were picked last, haha so your pride is too big to actually keep going so you go play with a piece of wood.
this is alright but theres heaps of stuff ups like wrong names and out of position players (Julian Huxley at no. 8) but theres more star players which is good
the graphics of the stadium are mean i wish they could have made a little better effort in making rugby 2009 that will be awsome when it comes out. i could have score within 2 minutes i think the song is orite not the best but good.
this game is so easy lol i beat the all blacks with japan on whatever the hardest setting is i think its expert (on playstation) its still brilliant though
there gonna make a rugby 2010 probably, cos remember there was no rugby 07...i think. i hope they spell the names right this time. how did you record this?
i have this game on ps2 but i play it on my ps3 and in playing rugby 08 i have veered off the game to get into a different sport. and the one only sport for me that was like rugby in a way and was REALLY REALLY REALLY enjoyable was madden football. so on my birthday i am getting the latest edition which is madden 09
Get over Jonah Lomu rugby it's overrated. Yes the EA Sports Rugby Games have a lot of flaws but they are much better than the recent trash Swordfish Studios have made.
I forgot to add before that Swordfish Studio's was founded by Members of Rage Software the Company that developed Jonah Lomu Rugby so 1 good Rugby game out of 3 for them, lol pretty much speaks for itself.
What are the stats like for the SA players? That's going to be the deal breaker for me. Oh, and dont tell me. Australia still have one of the best front rows in the world and Englands backs have more stars that ours! EA always have crap stats!
rugby 2006 would let you do a manager mdoe with team but all you c an do is play the world cup, and the team are poor japan ,spain, mamibia, and all those teams who c ant eveen play rugby its stupid.
they should have like a manager mdoe like fifa 08 for rugby 2009 realy desapointed i am going to return this game back.
i say first your are stupid . if you play rugby 2008 you see you like it and you will play every day my bad language wtf whats your problem i play rugby in real life and i like it so much
at the same tym they made it shit , u cant edit teams sme players are missing sme teams like spain cant qualify for any tornaments so the game play is simply n nt realistic enough so there is a lot to improve but im addddicted i ave 2 say
no soy muy bueno en este juego, pero un amigo q juego bastante bien dijo q este juego tiene un error, un jugador puede agarrar la pelota, buscar un hueco y correr y anotar, jajajja es lo q el siempre hace
when the game starts you try to knock people down , have a pushing session(like face off in hockey),kick as much ass as you can and take the ball to the safe zone or something like that:pSee its not confusing at all:D
esperaba mas del juego.. pero igual me re colgue... sabes que fuckin botones apretar para limpiar los racks?... me enferma q si jugas con un equipo de 80 para abajo contra uno de 90 o +, siempre que va al suelo te la roban.... gracias
does anyone think this game is still too easy after mastering 06 i played it in the shop and found the ai still boring to play against. its just not that hard pretty dissapointing
i never understood on this game the first person into the ruck dives on the ball and seals it which is illegal!
