    Request to Big Ant for Online Gameplay

    One request for Big Ant/Ross (and will request the same of 505 Games/Chief) is to ensure that players can only select the default fields built in the game while playing online. If not then we will have the same issue we had in AC09, i.e. pretty much every online game hast the same 1or 2 fields -...

    Has PC team play-tested or reviewed IC 2010?

    If not, any idea when any of the PC members will be invited for on-site gameplay review/testing by Codemasters? In case the feedback of the gameplay review is positive, would like to pre-order the game.

    Problem with edges and dependency on pitch conditions

    I think the biggest problem with edges in AC09 is due to the logic used for inducing edges. In the game edges are a function of timing alone and don't take seam & swing movement into account. Thus, you get inside edges when you are early playing a shot and get an outside edge (or edge to...

    Ashes Cricket 2009: A rant

    I find it extremely disappointing, and disheartening, that even 10 years after BLIC 1999 was released on PS1 we still haven't got a decent cricket game. Compare EAC 2009 to any of the other sports games such as NBA 2k9, MLB 2009, Madden NFL 09, FIFA 09 or Pro Evo for Soccer and the difference is...

    How to make a better cricket game (BLIC 08 or 09)

    Here's how I will go about making a better cricket game... 1. Take BLIC 99 as the baseline for developing the game. 2. Add 360 degree batting arc mechanism for playing and placing shots anywhere on the ground. 3. If possible, provide a mechanism for selecting shots off the front and back...

    Few queries

    Folks, First of all let me congratulate the 'Art Of Cricket' team on trying to do something that Codemasters and EA haven't achieved, or don't even want to try, i.e. create a game for hard core cricketing fans. By cricketing fans I mean the sort of people who understand that scoring 50 for no...

    Request: Where can I buy BL/SWC 99 for PS2?

    Folks, I have heard a lot about Brian Lara/ Shane Warne cricket 1999 and would like to buy it for PS2. Can someone tell me where or how I can buy the game for PS2 (I am assuming that even the PS1 game would work on PS2)? Thanks, Alf

    Problems with confidence meter in BLIC 2K5

    I feel there are a few problems with the existing implementation of confidence meter in BLIC 2K5 and hope they are rectified in the next release :- 1. Batsmen lose too much confidence while nearing landmarks (50, 100, 150 etc.), which is unrealistic. Surely, a batsman who has scored 48 or 98...

    Figured out why timing in nets and in matches is not the same !!!

    Folks, I think I have figured out why there's a discrepancy in timing between nets and the actual gameplay/match. It looks like the batsman used for practice has full confidence!!! No wonder timing won't match when we are in the middle with a batsman with no confidence! This is how I figured...

    Gameplay differences on PS2 and PC

    Wanted to know from people around who have played Cricket 2005 on PS2 as well as PC, whether there are any gameplay differences between the two versions. The reason is that I saw a video clip posted by a person for PC version and the normal shots (front foot and back foot) seem to have much...

    Improvements I want to see in next version of Brian Lara series...

    I have played both Brian Lara 2K5 and EA Cricket 2K5 and have to say EA's effort is a lot better than Codemaster's. The main reason is the realism in EA - batting is a lot tougher & you need to work hard to score runs. However, in BL 2K5, batting is way too easy and you don't enjoy bashing the...

    Anyone notice this in Cricket 2005?

    I play Cricket 2005 on hard mode on PS2 and have noticed that sometimes the timing of standard shots change from match to match. E.g. sometimes you get timing of a shot (cover drive) and manage to hammer boundaries with ease. But as soon as you start a new match, or reload the saved match and...

    Main gripe with Cricket 2005

    The standard shots - front foot or back foot lack power and punch to beat the infield and no matter what you do, there's no way you can score at a decent pace using these shots (except the leg glance). Thus people go for the other extreme - that is advance down the wicket shots. Using this...

Recently, somebody told me that cricket 2004 is much better than cricket 2005 in terms of replaying the game and that I would enjoy the game even...
