I got Rugby League Live for PS3 yesterday.

or so I thought

It is absolute rubbish. There is no franchise mode. You can't unlock heritage jerseys by winning games and the create a team mode is severly lacking. There are less teams that you can select (they don't include the lower grade English teams like Rugby League 3 does). Even the gameplay is worse then RL3 on wii which is quite funny because on the RL3 boards the admin said they didn't make rugby league 3 for PS3 or X-Box 360 because those consoles are far more advanced and they want make a game with a better engine for those next gen machines. Well Tru Blu all I can say is EPIC FAIL. They have sacrificed gameplay for player likeness, they have a created a slow mode close up screen shot for heavy hits (big whoop) and the have an online play mode. Something that I laugh at is the crowd still looks like the same cardboard cutouts used in the first rugby league game on PS2. Even the uniform and pitch degredation is minimal at best so I don't know why they advertised that as a highlight.

The couple of improvements I can see are...
When you tackle someone near a sideline you have the option to push the triangle button to drag them into touch.

The computer uses it's subsitutes instead of waiting for an injury, even if they are a bit odd sometimes (Subsituting Michael Ennis for Mickey Paea)

The video ref isn't random. You watch the replays and you can actually tell if you scored or not.

Goalkicking is better,eaasier, more realistic (It actually takes the wind into consideration).

In conclusion. Don't buy this game. Tru Blu have created history as this is the forst rugby league game I will be returning for a full refund.
