Rugby’s more recent video games often felt a bit clunky. In 2021, it also provides an evocative reminder of legends who are sadly no longer with us, from Christophe Dominici’s mazy runs to the barnstorming carries of Jerry Collins. A peak Gavin Henson is the best example he is an absolute force in Rugby 08. It’s great to play as individuals in their prime when their careers didn’t quite reach those same heights after. Rugby 08 is an interesting game to revisit with hindsight. Brian O’Driscoll could reap carnage upon opposition defences by simply running in circles this was a personal favourite. EA Sports did a tremendous job of enhancing the legendary status of certain players, with golden stars being attached to their names.įrom Shane Williams’ audacious acceleration to Jonny Wilkinson’s gargantuan kicks, the game made these players feel superhuman. It allowed fans to play as the vast majority of the era’s blockbuster names. Unlike recent releases, Rugby 08 had extensive licensing.

Additionally, having to manage the salary cap gave players the satisfying task of finding hidden gems to pair with established superstars. It was incredibly satisfying to climb through the divisions with your own personalized squad. Heffler has become a frequent meme to the aforementioned Facebook group. Most notable though was D.Heffler, the fly-half who would tide fans over through the early games, but would fluff most kicks at goal. This reviewer fondly remembers a friend and I signing the likes of Brian O Driscoll and Brent Cockbain to our Bristol team, only to keep the fictional G.Nawali on the wing. These fake players have since become iconic figures to the Rugby 08 community. Whichever club you started with had its best players removed, and replaced with fictional players with deeply flawed stats. Gamers would start with a depleted squad in the bottom league. It was such a creative concept to split the clubs across Super Rugby and the Heineken Cup into four divisions. The Rugby 08 World LeagueĪsk any Rugby 08 fan about the World League and you’ll immediately see a nostalgic grin. I still play Madden 10 in a very active sim-oriented Online Franchise and do have fun as long as I'm not playing the cpu.As well, add to that the ability to play the 2007 Rugby World Cup, there were various unique aspects to Rugby 08 from EA Sports. Keep in mind I am not just trying to bash Madden 10, although I do hate it. The only things I feel Madden 10 has over Madden 08 visually are the intro sequences and the stadiums/crowd. Overall the field looks more realistic than Madden 10's do, and in my opinion the player models ,while not as detailed, look much more realistic in terms of the shape of the human body in a football uniform. I am in awe when playing rain games as the field looks awesome, the players get progressively muddier and rain pours down on the camera during cinematics. In particular the weather games look incredible. It definitely does look better than lower settings though. I just don't think Madden 10 looks good at all because every animation looks so robotic. I'm sure any new desktop can easily handle Madden 08 on the highest settings, and the specs you listed are definitely more than good enough assuming you get a decent video card.īased on your previous post I don't think you would find it better than Madden 10 even at the highest settings. 2 x 2.10GHz, NVIDIA GeForce 8700M GT, 4Gb DDR2 RAM. I play on a laptop with every setting at the highest level.
