How do you make combinations in ea rugby 08?

Question

i have rugby 08 and i'm doing a tournament, but how do you make combinations between players such as props and hookers?

Answer 1

The easiest way would be to manually choose your team and place players who are compatible with each other. Having a large player base will be an advantage.

i.e: Alex Mauger of ABs work well with most of the Fly halves, but not with other center (No.13).

I managed to achieve 100% Team Chemistry in the World League with Props & Hooker, 2nd Rows, Flankers and No.8, SH & FH and Centers.

Answer 2

it happens over the space of a world cup, which isnt enough time really to build a connection, lets say you have a connection in your team with O' Driscoll & Darcy but in the first game of the world cup darcy is injured and out, you bring in trimble or someone but lose green "connection" if you were to play these two now constantly the by the end they would be in the green. its a waste if you ask me the effect is minimal, they made a mess of Rugby 08, but a bad connection is like a prop playing at outhalf...hope it helps

Answer 3

you have to choose players with the same special abilitys: combinations include props and hooker, scrumhalf and flyhalf and also right winger and full back.

EDIT:

Team Chemistry.

When you choose your starting line up, try to select players who complement  attributes and special abilitys of nearby team mates. such players form team chemistry combinations. for example 2 props and a hooker can form a combination as can a scrumhalf , a fly-half and a centre. To form a combination,it is essential that teamates have high ratings in their key attributes and at least one special ability the same. Each player in combination boosts the attributes of his combination team.

NOTE:To contribute to team chemistry, a player must not play out of posision.
