According to the sidhe forums it's looking like a late October release over here.

Also I doubt Championship teams are in.

If anyone finds a web link for UK preorder, could they post it here please? I'll be getting a copy, before I get a system to play it on! Also where's the TRL comp thread gone? Was it for PS3 or XBOX?

Ok fellas, I've spoken to a source at Alternative and the situation is this:

Rugby League Live will be released in the UK during the last week in October, possibly the first week in November. I don't know the ins and outs of the importing business, but due to the Aussie dollar being strong against the weak english pound, the game would have to cost £65 + in the uk to be released at the same time.

Apparently, if it were released simultaneously, people could buy the game in the uk, import it into Aus/NZ for a lot less than they'd pay for it off the shelf, so it makes sense for HES to have at least a six week delay to the UK release.

Also, I'm 99% sure that there WILL NOT be a franchise mode in Rugby League Live. It was stressed to me that Big Ant were keen to get the online multiplayer side of the game as perfect as can be, so they had to make sacrifices and Franchise is one of them.

Just discovered this, a bit fuzzy quality, but the tackles, and smoothness look awesome!

Like the shot of Richie Mathers getting crunched!

It's the same clip as on the e-mail Brooza posted, but his was the Official one and is better quality.

Agree, there looks a lot more variation in the tackling and the big shots look good, particularly liked the one of the Wire player getting smashed!

[Matt J]

It looks like they've used the Madden style tackling system, where its much more dynamic and can actually win more on the contact
