Can't get over the basic errors in online play in RWC 2011; they have no stat tracking at all and if you get up a try or two your opponent invariably drops out because they know it has zero consequence. Things like that are hardly budget issues, just lazy development.
i have no motive to defend HB, however your statment is not necessarily correct, it could be a budget issue if they didn't have the staff numbers to do everything they wished and had to prioritize and they didnt do what you are talking about.
Possibility. However, RWC 2011 is muck and HB suck

In terms of what it takes to write stat-tracking code for something that by it's nature is easily record-able, it can be a one-man job. There's no modeling to do, nothing to really create besides a way of caching information already available.
It's such a hard product to comprehend; they spent all their budget one the licenses clearly, but not even keeping fudged club teams, career mode or any of the other options that made Rugby 08 enjoyable is hard to fathom when the entirety of what they made for this release was a few borderline last-gen player models and a dozen or so stadiums. Almost everything else is copy and pasted from a four year-old game.
This is a developer that still does alot of work for EA Sports so for them to sleep on a sports game like this is almost unforgivable, EA wouldn't contract out to these guys if this was the standard level of their effort.
Maybe they were planning on this game being the FIFA WC to a future 'regular' Rugby 12 game but a game coming out after a hiatus of four years doesn't have that sort of luxury because a mis-step here could end the series. Indeed of RC is half a good as it looks HB Studios' time may have passed.0 -

Oh absolutely. FIFA WC 2010 was a fantastic tournament game and light years ahead of RWC 2011 in terms of giving a flavour to the event it's trying to capture.0 -
