And its still called Rugby League 2. Does that mean it will be the same as the last with all the flaws. Me and my mates went pretty hard out but it was such a frustrating game to play.
Still, good to see though.

Give the rights to EA. Please. Or at least make it so we can change button configurations.

Still, good to see though. I don't know much about it but it sounds like RL2 with the World Cup on it. It's better then nothing. |

I'll probably buy it, RL2 has alot of flaws but still much better than the original. Would be great if EA could make a version. There is already alot of international teams on RL2, they could even have qualifyers aswell. Also all teams will be updated hopefully so we could have titans in NRL and Celtic and Slaford for SL. |

It wont be going to EA anytime, the market for the game is so tiny EA probably dont even know it exists
I would almost certainly buy a WC version but as you guys say it can be so annoying and once you have worked it out its the easiest game to play and win, I beat NZ 86-6 with Scotland once on League God setting

Yeah Celtic and Salford should be there but depends when they made the game, maybe too late to turn back, as for Toulouse i dont see why they should be there, I mean the other NL1 teams arent gonna be there, like Barrow  One thing I do hope they have corrected is the original RL2 didnt have Samoa in |

They did have a few NL1 teams in RL2, Leigh and Widnes were both in it so it would be nice if they continued that tradition, and the WA Reds aswell  |

Actually Salford were in the last one so they should still be there, but when they made RL2 salford were in SL, when they made this WC update they obviously wernt. They did have a few NL1 teams in RL2, Leigh and Widnes were both in it so it They were all in the 2005 superleague though jim, which is when the game starts, so therefore they should have been in the game, they wernt NL1 sides when the game came out, the only side that wasnt in any division at the time was Catalans, so it didnt have any NL1 teams in it |

I don't expect to see any non Superleague 2008 teams in there. On the PC versions last time they had some of the files from non Superleague teams at the time (eg, Castleford, Featherstone) but as this is coming out only on PS2 it expect it will just be the top flight teams. If you want greater variety in teams buy the PC version of RL2 and download the update mods from their website forums. There is a particularly good one which includes all the NL1 sides and Toyota Cup. There is also an International Edition Mod in the works which will include Serbia, Czech Rep, Italy, Germany, Estonia, Latvia, Toulouse, Dorcol Spiders, Lisbon Espoir plus more  |
