Anybody else having to run a Direct3D Reference Rasterizer which is causing the game to run extremely slow so you can't play it? I've already tried the driver that is on the website.

Yeah me. Have you managed to get round this yet? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Nope, have you tried updating your DirectX with the link on the download page? I t never worked for me but may be helpful to you.

I always go 12-0 up and then the other team beats me 30-12 or something with Leeds. Could have been an easier difficulty.

It's all the same difficulty, just the Easy, Medium, Hard is the financial part of the game.

Have you got good fitness trainers and make your players have the recovery thing after a game?

Has anyone been offered another job so early in the season? After my first game with Wigan, I got offered the Huddersfield job for the next season, they must be desperate!

Also, has anyone accidently forgot to renew a contract, I lost Trent Barrett to Doncaster after my second game because I forgot to look at the contracts screen!

Check your messages after everytime you press continue, continually updated.

One thing that is annoying me, is that when you start as Hull, you are already over the overseas quota when in reality they aint!

I got offered the Bradford job soon after I had started then had Hull KR after me few games in.

The first thing I do is make sure everyone I want to keep is on a long term contract, then offer them all contracts and the senior academy. Then make the salary cap below and sell on some players.

The game is so buggy but it's so fun. I took over Wigan who were already over the salary cap for some reason, got rid of a load of useless coaches and Micky Higham, signed Cunningham and got my salary under £1.8m. Went into the first game against Quins losing 12-0 to which I came back and lead 13-12 until they scored in the last minute - 13-18, then I scored again and won 19-18, but nobody got a drop goal according to the match stats lol (3 point try maybe).

Then I got into a load of debt so put Fielden on the transfer list. Doncaster bought him for about £2m. Then went on to get hammered by Castleford, Hull and Bradford.
