Change your point of view with Pro Rugby Manager 2
Digital Jesters unveil new 2d tactical display.
Not content with allowing armchair managers to coach their favourite teams in photo realistic 3D, Pro Rugby Manager 2 is set to offer a 2D tactical display, bringing a whole new level of strategy to the world's number one rugby management game. The new option will provide gamers with all the tactical information, statistics and available strategies as well as a crystal clear representation of the match as it plays out.
The 2D tactical display has been developed in collaboration with the Heineken Cup winning rugby star Francois Duboisset who has provided Pro Rugby Manager 2 developers Cyanide with valuable insights into the intricacies of the game and how these could be most accurately represented on screen. "The new bird's eye view give a better overall view of the game," says Duboisset. "You get a better understanding of the ebb & flow of real rugby."
The whole interface has been designed to provide a more dynamic and intuitive experience when taking control of a team on match day. Of course it is still down to the preference of the individual manager whether they choose the new style tactical view or continue to take advantage of Pro Rugby Manager 2's 3D action mode with photo realistic stadiums and recognisable stars from clubs and countries around the world.
"With Pro Rugby Manager 2 we were determined to provide fans of the original game with a deeper, more flexible experience," says Leo Zullo, Marketing Director, Digital Jesters. "The implementation of the new 2D tactical display helps tie the realistic management and the dramatic match action together like never before, allowing each gamer a greater choice in how they choose to manage their favourite club or country"
To celebrate this announcement, Digital Jesters have re-launched www.prorugbymanager.com, with loads of new features and content, and have included an easy to follow flash walkthrough of the new 2D simulation.
Pro Rugby Manager 2 is due for release on the 25 th February 2005 priced £34.99.
