i might give this a go this year, like the sound of the multi-year career and being able to change rules
the first game was supposedly good but bug riddled, so hoping these are ironed out this year

A lot of time and effort was put into career mode this time around. We set up the foundation last time, but this time it was a top priority. Do at least check it out, maybe rent it. It doesn't look like it in the screenshots but it is a real step up.

Sounds encouraging. I'm sure you can't reveal specific information, but hopefully the player duplication is gone from that mode.
Do you know if it will be a day one title on the PSN North American store?

We've got two new screens up, showing the newly unveiled All Blacks strip:

No sign of Gamestop in our preorders list yet. Which territory are you in?
