ALL ESSENTIAL PATCHES FOR EA CRICKET 2004 PC

[LilleeWilleyDilley]

I'm sure alot of people by now have noticed in EA Cricket 2004 when you are batting, especially against spinners, that is very hard to get the ball past the fielder; so while its easy to get ball-on-bat, the ball is too often hit straight to the fielder. Sometimes the ball is hit fast but straight to the fielder in each delivery during the entire over. I wish I could fix this permanently because its a pain. Far too many maidens occur in this game as a result.

When you, eventually, get the ball passed the fielder(s) then it also seems to shoot to the boundary a little more than it should...

Maybe try playing with the shift key?

I can't get my Xinput controller to detect even when using a program to convert it to dinput. I am using a standard microsoft xbox controller. I tried using Xinput plus which has options to convert xinput to dinput but no luck. Anyone have any tips on how to get a controller detected with this game?

Does anyone have Config Editor V3 that they can post as an attachment here? The links are no longer valid posted by Prakash back in 2005.

Is there a way to reduce extras by CPU? like byes, wides, man they are game breaking things.

the "byes free" configs help big time with that. essentially all the field options have a back stop in them. usually only need them for tests as wicket keepers seems to be better in odis or you dont bowl as many short balls.

I am playing it on Windows 10 Pro 21H2 build 19044.2604 without any issues whatsoever. No compatibility settings applied either and no run as administrator. The only thing I use is RTSS (Riva Tuner Statistics Server) to cap the frame rate at 60 FPS. Maybe try turning off Windows Data Execution Prevention if it's not already off although I doubt that's the problem but you never know what's causing these old executables to error out.

Try creating a new windows profile (local account with giving it administrator privileges) and then try playing cricket 2004 from that profile to see if the game saves from that. If so, then you have to play the game from that windows profile only. I had faced the same issue for Cricket 07 then I tried this fix
