Oh my god, now you say that! I take it all back.
Just imagine playing as Mark Talea with his socks pulled up! Ridiculous.
I mean, is it even the same guy then am I right?
I think the sock height needs it’s own slider now you have said this. Because sometimes Marks socks were at the ankle, sometimes he wore half height. So if you had a slider that visually slid the sock up and down the leg you could stop it at EXACTLY the right height.
Thereby … ensuring the “Most complete Rugby game” of all.
This is exactly what I mean . Like in Rugby challenge 4 and rugby 08 you could select the socks height .
They will have to drop the GripSocks idea to achieve this though. Valid sacrifice imo.
New fear unlocked.
Full body socks.
Can’t wait to be in September for the RWC23 
My gripsocks are ready
What a legend good catch!!
You’re 100% correct.
The option to have high or low socks is extremely important. Just as grip socks are extremely important with close to half the pro players wearing them.
But the option for high or low socks will 100% be a customization option when we look at Bug Ants other games. They won’t miss that detail.
Can only pray for grip socks now.
No this has to be a joke. That looks like Rugby 22 from what we can see.
That’s scary
Yes it does and the short trailer they released . All of this delays just to have a game like rugby 22 .
Real rugby fans, care about … socks … apparently.
Out of all the things I would see requested most in a rugby game, never would I have expected … socks.
Not tackles, not passing, not steps or chip chicks. Not fun, not creation options and not authenticity … socks.
Make sure my socks don’t stay up right please.
Also make sure my socks look like I sort of made an effort … but then gave up half way.
I have seen a new American football game in beta that allows you to have one sock up … and one sock down if you want. Could be a dream game for some foot enthusiasts.
Maybe you are scared of how the game looks because you have had them designing socks of all descriptions instead
Edit: Post contains 99% banter *May also contain traces of sarcasm.
You don’t get it bro.
Those things you mentioned are the obvious of what’s needed and Big Ant knows that. We don’t have to point out the major details that are needed in the game.
Small details for immersion and realism are just as important to make the best rugby game ever as they are saying
I hope you are doing well.
Could you please let us know if we might have some information soon?
From previous communications, I understand that last Super Rugby Pacific team, the Chiefs, was captured on June 5th.
You mentioned that 14 days are needed for the validation and to have the team in game etc. Does that mean that EA could be live by 19th June?
You wanted 1 full comp: Done, Super Rugby. And almost all premiership and URC
You have international men teams: at least NZ, Australia, England, France (from the video taken at BigBen Week). Probably Scotland, Wales and Ireland thanks to URC.
You have international women teams: at least England, Australia.
What is missing to have the Early Access ?
Cheers
I reckon they are shy or too scared to share any screenshots or gameplay . I mean you guys delayed the game for about 3 times and the screenshots I’ve seen looks like a upgraded rugby 22
Ross being like " I cant wait to show them our fully face scanned Vietnam Rugby team. Oh boy they are in fior such pleasnt surprise "
No, you don’t get it bro.
You haven’t even mentioned collars, clearly you know nothing at all about immersion.
You can’t have socks down without popping your collar in rugby.
5 % of all professionals do it. It is a must have for a complete game and you have completely over looked it.
Don’t even get me started on mouth guards.
Edit: Also many will enjoy every single tier nation and getting to play as them and arrange comps etc. People acting like everyone just wants the top 20 in the world. Yawn fest, Big Ant are doing something no rugby game has ever managed before. Colour me impressed to this day about 130 something nations.
We want depth … but not too much depth … we want an authentic game, but don’t waste time making it TOO authentic. We don’t want a rushed piece of garbage … but hurry up and release it who cares if it isn’t finished.
Bruh 
I don’t envy BA staff and the grief they get lol.
Won’t lie though … on the game information front aka what is hoped to be in it modes and feature wise outside the teams and the EA information shared. SLIM PICKINGS is an understatement. I find that bit strange and it does annoy me.
When Val was full of hope and sure the game was coming in Jamuary… Already 6 months ago haha. Stay strong bro ! Happy half birthday
Who would have known that it would be delayed three times with no more date at the end haha! Stay strong Val, it’s getting closer
Stan may have some issues
