I agree that batting difficulty should remain the same and that bowling should be tweaked to be more difficult. Every other cricket game becomes boring due to the ease of batting, in time, there will be people saying how easy batting is on Legend difficulty, practice will indeed make...

When you bear in mind that batting has been so easy on other cricket games, I have to agree that people need to give the game a few weeks first before asking that batting becomes easier. Patching a game does not always improve it and in rare cases can introduce other bugs (take codemasters f1...

I have to say that although not perfect, for me this game is hands down better than any other cricket title I have played. I still own every cricket title produced since International Cricket on the SNES and this game is better than BLIC '99 on the PC or ps1, which to date has always been my...

I have to agree...

Looking forward to the videos... ;-)

No offence to anyone who is presently downloading this game, but unless you are purchasing this to review it to the wider cricketing community, I can see no reason to get this game. The complete and utter contempt that Trickstar have shown to their customer base is bewildering. Good luck...

Thanks!!! Have replayed EA's Cricket 2004, 2005 and 07 and BLIC '05 & 07 to refresh my memory and I have to say Ashes Cricket 2009 plays very well in comparison. It is the only cricket game, since Brian Lara '99, which I genuinely love bowling in. I can't wait for the 7th August!! villarich...

Has anyone noticed that when a batsmen is run out the team still scores the runs that they ran? Is that correct? For example, Ponting hits it to cover and tries to run 3. He gets run out attempting the 3rd run. He is given out but the scorecard gave them 2 runs for the 2 runs completed. I...

Have just checked the video and that is poor!! However there are inside and outside edges now off the bat and the satisfaction of getting Ponting out with an inside edge onto the stumps is priceless!!!!

Have played the demo to death!!! I played BLIC 07 to remind me how bad that was. The verdict? A tremendous step forward. For sure the animation and graphics aren't great but they are acceptable. It seems a bit easy to use the 6 hit button when batting but remember that BLIC 07 WAS...

The game only works well in multiplayer. The computer AI hasn't been gametested. That's what lets this title down. C'mon Codies give us another patch, one that stops all batsmen smash the ball down legside like a man possessed and then be all out for 42. Some of us like test cricket. And we...

I've been playing Cricket 04 recently and the rain has saved me from losing my 1st test against the West Indies! I always autoplay the computers innings and play on the hardest setting. The West Indies hit 543 and then I've batted for near on two and a half days and then still being 100 runs...

There are good points to this game BUT surely you can't overlook the many wonderful faults this game has! Developers are just not interested when it comes to producing cricket titles as they don't sell enough titles to get proper development time. Being a test match fan I've reinstalled...

After the disappointment of Brian Lara 2007 (and Cricket 07) it's time to go back to Cricket 04! I love playing test matches on this game! Good sound effects throughout the day, variable weather and good batting. I suggest EA and Codemasters take a trip down memory lane and remember what...

The wicketkeeper is dropping it because you're not timing your throw back to the keeper properly. If you don't press the throw button when it's in the middle of the bar the keeper will always drop the ball and then smash the bails off!

?40 and two years in the making????????? Not good enough Simple as that:)

Sorry to rain on your parade but there are so many faults!!!!!!!! Good points however are 1 Being able to find the gap in the field and being able to use the defend button to push shots for quick singles 2 Computer reacts well to where you are striking the ball and will assign fielders...

I was assured that the game would work fine after x box live got some repairs on Monday. I have only managed to play 12 overs against people but the game keeps crashing. I can still talk to my opponent but the game stops!!! :crying I now have stopped playing online as it's embarrasing to...

The simple reason spinners open the bowling is the computer picks the bowler with the highest rating to start. I am playing a test match and found if I saved the innings before the computer fielded I could reload the game and choose to field and make a fast bowler open. Then I would save it...

Mine is still crashing EVERY time the 1st batsmen is dismissed. Was this not tested properly like the game? The answer is probably yes :crying
