100% Team Chemistry

[GOGLEDDOLDRAIG]

I have managed to obtain a chemistry of 90% but cant work out what needs to be done now. Its the second row who are the problem

[Reddonpitt]

Personally I think that Team Chemistry is insignificant- but I'm probably wrong. For instnace when I play as Ireland I change the back 3 which lowers the chemistry.

I think I have seen a lock partnership once but I can't remember when.

I find that getting front row partenerships very easy, and sometimes 9, 10 or 10, 12 quite easy. For the back row it seems you need 3 players with 3 different skills.

Assuming that chemistry is important, I've created my own team. Does this affect team chemistry?

You would hope not, but there probably is a bug to do with that as well.

How do you change team chemistry? Mine seems to be constantly at 40%

[Reddonpitt]

You will see it by the players with "chemistry" are highlighted green on the team selection screen.

For the front row it seems you only need three players in their preffred position (i.e not 2nd or 3rd) who have a high(ish) rating

Lockson't know

Back Row: I used to think you needed three players with complimentary skills(That pic in the corneer by form and morale) but I'm not sure that they do if they have high ratings.

Half Backs: Just a good pairing(can also stretch to 12 on occasion if the 12 is a secondary 10 eg Catt, Giteau etc)

10,12: I'm not sure what this is dependant on.

12,13Can start at 10) Not sure though I would imagine it needs a Henson/Shanklin or D'Arcy/O'Driscoll(from 2006 or 2007 6N) combination.

Back Three: Different skills-look at the Ireland team in the game to see what I mean(Kickie/Horgan/Dempsey). This is very hard to get- even if you have a back-three of S.Williams, Habana and Latham it would not have good chemistry because they don't have three different skills.

BUT team chemistry appears to have no affect on performance.

Hope that helps

I have had green for w - fb - w, I had M. Cueto, L. Mcdonaldand one M. Nonu respectively (was with Highlanders)

Tried one more time though and couldn't find them all together.

So i'm not going mad?

I think i managed to get a second row pair with australia... it was with George Smith and another high rating lock.. either Shapre or mayb vickerman or harrison

[Reddonpitt]

I've now managed to get a lock pairing with France:

Nyanga (though in fact he is a flanker but can play lock)
Pelous

Seems that if you play a backrower there it helps (though I haven't noticed this with Jason White and can't imagine it works with Corry).

Maybe it's because both Smith and Nyanga are stars?

[lavspurs]

Does team chemistry actually make a difference to the play?!

That team is just a mix up of players, I'm not saying its bad that you got 100% team chemistry but I meen no carter in the team and you get 100%, it doesnt make sense to me.

[muthabaloo]

Lock is the problem position with team chemistry.

4. Any lock with a solid rating (E.g. Jack, Borthwick, Sharpe, Matfield)
5. So'oiolo, Nyanga, George Smith, Muller (SA lock)

These give you the green light (literally) for 100% TC.

[legenderyhal]

i got new zealand to 100% and if you scroll up you'll see someones listed it out. i was russia on ellite mode 5 minutes half and i still beat them 110-3!!! im sorry ea but you suck 08 is the most load of rubbish ever you rushed it so much just in time for the world cup and its sucks were the hell is the lions tour?? im sorry but you need a seriously good rugby experts!! its not hard make rugby 09 just like fifa manager modes online play for PS3 and just do that.

You can get 100 percent with England as well i think, With Australia you can get upto 90

[breezy2]

So it seems that one lock must be a converted back-rower.

Bizarre.

[tanuvasa]

Maybe team chemistry is better when playing multiplayer?

[breezy2]

it all doesn't make any difference, i just thought that with higher chemistry the team tend to not lose as many turnovers in the ruck. but im not sure coz the games sooo rubbish!!!!!!!!!!

[tanuvasa]

Well thats the holy grail isn't it....trying to not lose the ball in rucks....sad if team chemistry is not the answer.

EA actually know what the answer is to ball turnovers...they just don't want to say it lol!

Maybe I'm just dumb but i didn't understand one bit of that!! please explain

[ddxforce]

yes, i think your first point explains yourself

[breezy2]

and i love you too Ben!

[tanuvasa]

Haha you guys lol!

Lol...ok what I meant was that the "Holy Grail" for Rugby 08 and 06 and 05 was to figure out the ruck system and what determines the winning and losing of a ruck. EA actually knows the exact variables that determine who wins the rucks (obviously because they wrote the programme) but they have not disclosed it FULLY to the public. People have been trying to figure out how to hold onto possession forever but it never happens...we get close but then not quite.
