Looks like a last gen game to me, but I'm still excited for a league game.

They devs have said it's a different team from the Wii game (which was pretty bad) so hopefully it's ok.

I have been waiting for a good league game forever! I wish EA would just use the Madden engine already

I think I will get it...I wonder if it will have a franchise mode.

Ah sweet! I never new about this new game to bad there won't be a NTSC version of this, I have Rugby Leage2 for PS2 and that wasn't good at all although I tried to like it and had a little fun with it. But if this game is any good it might worth picking up on PS3 along with Ashes Cricket get my fix

I will get it and be disappointed AGAIN. Nature of the beast as we are blessed with so many good games from EA SPORTS and the like.

The novelty of another rugby league game will see the pre-orders go through the roof. With any luck, this is the first small step forward for what will become a massive franchise (a lot of hope in that statement).

Here's the official trailer.



Looks pretty much like RL2 imo. Probably won't buy it since it's $130 in NZ. I like that they've added shoulder charges though.

That's crap, the press said it was a new team and new engine. It looks like RL2 in HD.

Which was a very average game...

I guess all us League fans would love it to be great, but it doesn't realy look like it will be.

I'd like to say I'll buy it to support the only developers coding League, but i'm not sure I will.
