A few things that annoy me in career mode is: After the season has finished, all the players numbers change randomly. For example, micheal Witt went from number 6 to 8 and Antonio kaufusi went from 8 to 16. Also the way the fixtures are not randomised after each season so they are always the same. However apart from niggles in this game, I haven't come across any bugs and I really do like it

Does anyone one know how to change the difficulty?

You do it in Match Settings just before the game. I've played a couple of times at the legend setting, you are allowed no time at all to hold the player down at that level.

I've noticed that the computer team is very good at kicking into the wind. From kicking the ball to touch from a pen, against the wind, they always make decent yards. Sometimes I can't even make touch with the wind (i'm stopping the green bar too just before the red).

The interceptions really pee me off, you can't catch them when they are clear either. If you intercept you either A) kick it, because you're trying to tackle or B) run backwards\sideways due to the camera switch.

Apart from that, not too bad

The new patch seems good. Ive edited the teams to as close to the 2013 season as possible which is good but the squad numbers are still an issue.

Also, if you replace a team in career mode, ie put Featherstone in for say Salford then whilst you'll be playing against Featherstone you'll be playing at Salford.

Looking forward to finishing my first season with the Bulldogs so I can get rid of some of the deadwood. Ideally need some more forwards and maybe a stand off. Currently 2nd at the moment, Perrett and Inu are on fire down the left

As Broncos, ive made some decent signings, most notably, James Graham and Tony Williams!

I'm getting really annoyed at the controls. I try to throw a first time ball out but must be pressing B slightly before pressing the RB button and as soon as my player catches it he chips it straight to the defence as opposed to firing a pass out. Cost me 8 points against Castleford and I ended up drawing despite being comfortable throughout.

Two things that are really annoying me about career mode.
1. If you're a super league team, at the end of your first season, you have a ridiculous amount of money to sign pretty much however you want, but if you're an NRL team, you haven't got enough money to re-sign all your players.
2. In the second season, all your players have stupid squad numbers if you're a super league team. This is only a minor annoyance but seeing Wellens wearing number 10, Roby with 2 and new signing Ben Matulino with number 1 really really winds me up.

Prop forwards running the length of the field is annoying as f*ck

After a little while getting used to it, I'm really impressed with the game.

You have to keep in mind these guys don't have the big budgets of the Fifa's of this world - they only have so much to work with.

I think the presentation is great, the stadiums are very impressive and the commentarys acceptable. Player likenesses in the SL aren't good but it is an Australian based game.

As for gameplay, I think when you get used to the games limitations and play around them its very enjoyable. It is attritional but some might say thats realistic. There were a lot of interceptions for me at first but you just need to learn not to play long balls close to the line. My main gripe is you can't seem to do anything to speed up the play the ball and its almost impossible to scoot from dummy half and get anywhere.

Overall though, pretty good - far better than I was expecting.

The game is ludicrous online. The fend is far too effective.
