OS: What weather conditions will be in the game?

OS: Do teams play to their strengths or styles, especially when controlled by AI?

Answer: In Rugby Challenge, we have set out to give every team its own personality. We accomplish this by being able to adjust each team's onfield play style. For example, New Zealand will play a more heavy contact forwards game, where the Wallabies will kick the ball a bit more and play for territory gain over taking contact. These attributes or "tactics" are editable by the gamer.

OS: Are there injuries?

Answer: Yes, injuries can occur during a match if a hard tackle is too much for a player.

OS: Can you explain team tactics?

Answer: Tactics are the settings that specify a particular team's overall play style. Tactics can be adjusted by zones -- defense, mid and attack zone. For example, you can adjust whether a team’s forwards and backs drive, take contact or hand the ball off. You can also set what your team prefers in the line-outs, scrums or mauls (such as pass, pick and go, or take the ball to ground). A team’s kicking strategy can be set here also, such as short, long, left, right or even a more territory gain kicking style.

OS: Can you list all of the available modes, and detail the online options?

Answer: Single Match, Training/Tutorials, Competition Mode, Career Mode, Play Online 4v4 (Quick Match, Private Match and Leaderboards), Customize Player, Customize Teams and Customize Competion.

OS: Who are the top five rated players in the game?

Answer: Jonah Lomu, Brian O’Driscoll, Daniel Carter, Mils Muliaina and Richie McCaw.

OS: Can you explain how rucks and mauls will be handled?

Answer: When a ruck is formed, you must balance how many players you quick bind or heavy bind to a ruck whilst also being careful not to over commit too many players to a ruck leaving your defensive line open or fatiguing your players too much. A maul is formed from a contested tackle. These tackles can occur when two players engage in a tackle but have equal dominance; this starts as a contest to bring a player to the ground by tapping the "drive" button. If this contest is equal, you can quick-bind players to form a rolling maul to gain ground or use the ball.
