Seems they've still not included player likeness for SL

Take a look at number 7 Jace Van Dijk for example



Unless that's Matty Smith

Unfortunately, the SL license doesn't cover likeness rights for the players, unlike the NRL license, sorry.

Don't apologise Mario, if we finally get a half decent Rugby League game it won't matter what the players look like

Well, hopefully you get to try it out soon enough. We look forward to hearing what people think of this latest version.

Fair enough, it's not a big issue, not been a problem yet.

Is it something that could be resolved in future releases though? Or is it a case of never happening?

I'm not exposed to the details of the license, but I imagine it unlikely given the players themselves don't provide likeness rights to the SL. HES would have to do individual deals with each SL player, and that just isn't practical unfortunately.

I hope there's the option for the Loose Forward to pick up from the base of the scrum rather than always the Scrum half.

Also, the unlikely option of contesting a scrum, too.

It does happen. Rarely, but it does.

Aah ok, I see what the problem is now. I often wondered what the issues were since you already had their names, now I understand

Another question if you don't mind Mario, are you able to, and do you use official stats to base both SL and NRL players off of?

Keep up the good work, can't wait for it

We have historically used official stats, though this time have opted for a hybrid approach - official stats with some alteration. You can always customise if you don't agree.
