An experienced studio…\n\nDeveloped by HB Studios, based in Canada, RUGBY 15 benefits from the considerable experience of a team that loves sport and video games.\n\nHB Studios was behind Rugby 08 and Rugby World Cup 2011, and for a long time has been working with EA Sports on the development of the sport simulation games Madden NFL, FIFA (in particular the ‘Ultimate Team’ mode), NHL, Tiger Woods…\n\nA dynamic game\n\nYou can select the weather for your matches (rain, sunshine…) as well as the time of day, or leave it up to chance with random weather.\n\nYou can also decide the wind speed, but mind your conversions! It’s not just the gameplay that will be affected by your choice of weather conditions, but also the entire environment, with pitch and equipment deterioration. But rest assured, you won’t need to clean out the locker rooms after the match…\n\nEngage in a real struggle against the emergent Artificial Intelligence, which dynamically adapts to your style of play and to situations, and do the same using controls that let you change defence or attack on the go.\n\nPlay with the most famous teams\n\nRUGBY 15 lets you play with the teams from the biggest leagues, and is the only game with the PRO D2 and TOP 14. Other prestigious leagues are also included, such as the Aviva Premiership Rugby and the PRO 12 (formerly the Celtic League).\n\nSee how you fare playing against the computer or against your friends in ‘Friendly Match’ mode. Set off in the race for the Brennus shield, or the PRO D2, PRO 12 and AVIVA PREMIERSHIP RUGBY titles in ‘Season’ mode. Create and win your own competition in ‘Custom Cup‘ mode. Take on the Old World rugby elite in ‘European Trophy‘ and ‘6 Countries‘ modes. Finally, earn a place among the best players in the Southern Hemisphere in ‘Southern 15‘ and ‘4 Nations‘ modes.\n\nRealistic movements and animations\n\nMotion Capture with real rugby players has been used to ensure RUGBY 15 has ultra-realistic animations and a variety of moves never before seen in a rugby game. All rugby moves have received special attention for a deep and accurate game experience.\n\nHand-offs, spins, tackles, lineouts, scrums, conversions, rucks, mauls… For the first time in a rugby game, make all the moves such as up & unders and pop passes!\n\nPlayer characteristics that come as close as possible to reality\n\nThe databases, provided by OPTA, the world leader in sport statistics, mean each player in the game has precise, realistic and updated characteristics and skills.\n\nThe choice of an acknowledged database used by the major players in the world of sport provides the players with everything needed to make RUGBY 15 the leading rugby simulation.
