must be a contractual issue why the cant get rabbits in the game but at least a 2nd commentator is added in gus gould. So hopefully it goes good.

Screenshots look good. I bought the 1st game on launch and was utterly disappointed, as it was a total rush job of a game and lacked features. Hopefully RLL2 turns out to be what RLL was suppose to be.
Regarding Rabs not doing commentary, I remember reading a post over on the Sidhe boards the other year before RRL came out, that apparently Rabs is difficult to work with, which is why he didn't do the commentary. From memory it was either Mario (Sidhe) or Ross (Big Ant) who said that.

I don't think it's that; I just don't think Rabbits wants to do it.

Phil Gould can tell us how much he loves his Sunday footy at Leichardt. Throw in Ray Warren and they can bicker at eachother like old hens and get the names of half the players wrong. That'll give the game a real genuine feel to it.

As you know, Vossy is super passionate about the RL games. Puts in 110% into the sessions and is an absolute champion guy.
Gus was also very excited to be part of RLL2 too.

Really who gives a crap! the most "exciting" new feature they could add is a game thatis fun, responsive, and actually plays f***en well, realistic or not.
For how many more years will JLR be the benchmark for footy games (either code)
