Looks great! Honestly, I think sports game developers are too focused on realistic graphics, when there's a significant audience that just want something fun to play with. Look at minecraft for example. That games huge and it's just a bunch of simple blocks. Gameplay is 100x more important than everything else

Precisely my thoughts too mate. And games can combat the missing licensing/players by allowing an editor for teams/tournaments/players. Never have I looked back on older games and thought, god I loved the roster is that game, but I do often remember gameplay fondly!

The only one I remember is Team Lomu:

"LOMU!! passes to LOMU!! passes to LOMU!!"

When you're done, is this going to be a PC game only, or can degenerates like me get it on consoles?

Haha you needed Mather from team rage to stand a chance against team lomu!

PC first, then I would absolutely love to get it onto consoles

you're right, inthe olden days (!) the c64 ,speccy etc- the graphics were not much but the gameplay and imagination put into the games made for fantastic games!
