Ashes Cricket 2011 Wishlist

[Covvy]

ability to create grounds that would be awesome but i doubt it will be implemented for a while

That'll be awesome

Players different build and height (hoping this is in AC09) cause seeing someone like mitchell johnson standing next to ricky ponting, if they are the same height it would just look weird lol.

Also would love if they could do a career/be a pro what ever you want to call it. But i cant see it happening for a while. how many people like the idea of a superstar mode kind of thing?

I have an idea about defensive shots. I've posted it here, as well as the Wishlist thread, since this is where everyone is currently living! :laugh

How about if you press the defensive button as usual, with front or backfoot, but if you just tap it, you get an ordinary, safe defensive shot (so you can just drop the ball in front of you and go for that sneaky single), but if you hold it down, you push at the ball more, meaning that it could go further so you could get two, three, or with exceptional (I mean spot on) timing, four. But since you're pushing at it more, if you mess up the timing, you have a much better chance of edging it to the slips/keeper (of course, even the safe shot can be edged).

What do you guys think of that?

Idea is good but it will take the timing out of question. As if you press too early and keep it holding it will be a good push. So I don't think its possible as we want at the same time bowlers to be really quick not slow.

Don't let the player press the button until a certain time?

Full player stat tracking.

I thought it was in this game but now I find out it isn't..a little disappointed here.

seriously, this is bloody cricket. It is all about stats. When will people realize that?

They problem is, we have never had an absolute cricket fanatic (like most us PC members) develop or program a game.

EA 07 was Canadians, and this time AC09 is soo much better, quite possibly because it was developed by Aussies.

Jamie and Heath seemed to know the basics about cricket , but I would be hard pressed to call them cricket fanatics or even dedicated cricket watchers.

Players heights and builds all look to me the same.

No point having heights or build unless they impact on the gameplay. What I mean by that as in this game bowling with Dale Steyn (5'11ft) feels the same as bowling with Morne Morkel (6'5ft). Bowlers like Morkel and Flintoff should bowl that heavy ball (which Kallis also bowls), it should feel heavy when the batsman face it whilst bowlers like Anderson and Steyn should kiss the surface and come onto the bat more quicker through the air.

It is pretty mandatory of all sports game, football, baseball, NFL, basketball, hockey regardless of their quality to have accurate player representation but we have not had that yet in a cricket game. Very disappointing.

After playing the 2009 game these are things I'd like to see so far:

* The ability to autoplay a session, rather than just an over or innings.
* 3rd umpire screens
* More pad/bats

 

[MasterBlaster76]

It would be good if we could see what the computer's reticule was doing, so then we could try to read what the spin/swing would do. As it is, you can't tell at all.

It could start off as an ordinary reticule and then show the direction of the spin/swing for a set amount of time that is governed by how good the batsman is, as top batsmen would be far better at reading the ball than tailenders.

What do you think?

The game appears to be flooded with stats! Manhattans, spider charts, and even some that come up by themselves!

I wonder if there's a way to change the AI's/human's timing window when trying to hit sixes? That way, they'll be much harder to hit and you'll be more likely to get out. In real life, if you want to hit a six, you have to get the timing pretty much spot on (or top edge it), don't you?

Maybe that's something for Transmission to look at for the next game, or in the patch?

 

[cricket/2009]

To be able to create a series, like you can have 5 test's 5 ODI'S and 3 20/20's and have like 3 teams in the tournament,
If i am mistaken but in australia 2007 ashes it was england vs australia as usual then like in january there was the ODI series with them 2 and new zealand. SO to be able to create a series of what you want in it and teams.

 

[Covvy]

Well firstly to fix up the test matches a bit but here's my list.

1. Get more licensing so we can have proper names and also maybe domestic comps, also more tournaments

2. More stadiums, I'd love to have heaps of stadiums in there, the game does have a lack of depth really

3. Better player models, can't really tell who's who except for the big names.

 

[TheGreemSim]

Reall good suggestions, oh and a world cup would be nice.

 

[99 Not Out]

I'd like more bickering and sleging. Like what happened between Watson and Anderson, Broad and Johnson etc.

I'd also like the option to duck under a bouncer. I don't want to always have to do a backfoot defencive if there is a man out on the pull
