SRK your question has already been (partly) answered. Remember to check the first post for links to all the replies so far... Remember, Cheif cannot give specific answers yet. Keep that in mind.

Hey chief, if you are building on a game to include career mode in future versions. I would suggest you to starting from creating some domestic teams in this game and then increasing the number in future versions (if you have any plans to build another cricket game) when you are making career mode. It would decrease a lot of work. If you somehow are unable to include domestic (licensed or unlicensed) teams which I can completely understand, it would be better if we can have luxury to create 15+ generic teams which we can later mod to any domestic tournament. I think for a career mode, it's necessary to have some domestic teams which we can play along, it increases the longevity and it's great to see our player journey from domestic to international.

Sorry for too many questions but I hope we can expect career mode in future versions. I would like to know your views about it.

How about in the ashes mode we get a secret classic ashes mode
unlocked by winning the ashes on hard.
In this mode we get say 30 aus and 30 eng best ever players.
So aus can have shane warne,steve waugh,don,hayden,adam gilchrist
dennis lillee, glenn mcgrath and eng get Hobbs, Hutton, Hammond, Barrington, Pietersen, Botham, Knott, Underwood, Larwood, Trueman, Barnes
so on, we could have a vote on pc to see who gets in the 2 teams.

Will the ratings be somewhat realistic (eg not like AC09 where if you didnt play for the top 4 nations you couldnt bowl faster than 90km/h) and will there be a player editor?

 

[savvart]

What about a good old fashioned ability to replay the action...!!!

Not just at a dismissal but when we would like to see a ball just missing the edge or a dropped catch. You know, have the power to rewind, pause, move forwards...

Any chance?

Hey Chief,
Great to see a Cricket Game WIP finally after a long time. But , if a cricet game has to be made, it has to be made excellently.
I have a few questions:
1. Will we be able to see different kinds of bowling actions(run-ups)? For eg. Harbhajan Singh and R.Ashwin are both offspinners with different actions.
2. Like in AC-09 will we get tutorials to play the strokes, or will there be a nets mode?
3. DRS? I think it has become such an integral part and would add a nice taste of reality to the game
4. Will the batsmen bat according to the situations. Will there be rain-washed games decided on D/L? Will there be a night-watchman if a wicket falls close to the end of day' s play. These tweaks will make the game simply amazing.
5. New shots like the switch-hit, or the Dilscoop, will we get to see them. Thanks.
6 Lastly, licenses? Will we get to see player-likeliness or official jerseys? Or only restricted to England and Australia?

Hi Chief,

This question is inspired by Friend863's post above regarding future games. Are you guys, people at Trickstar, planning to develop this as a series of games? I remember some chat about how AC09 was the first step towards a PES-esque cricket game.

I think once you guys get a game with decent bat/ball/shots physics going(AC09 was pretty decent I think), you can simply add things like career mode* and variety of tournaments along with tweaks to actual engine as you release future titles, instead of re-doing the same bat-ball physics from scratch every time you plan to release a game.

*Career mode : small town boy gets into his local/unknown club, play county, get IPL contract, play for nation..

@chief
I asked this question before but without answer. I would politely ask again. Are you guys using motion capture for animations of batting, bowling or fielding?

 

[coolz_hari]

Each bats man has different style of batting...
Ian bell- class player
kp& warner- aggresive approach with some strange shots
Is there any chance in future versions?

 

[Gone4aDuck]

A lot of people are asking for specific bowling/batting actions for individual players.
I can't see how they can do those sorts of things if they don't have the licence. People get taken to court these days for anything. I would imagine some lawyer somewhere would make a case out of H.Singa having budgies action.
I think we would need to be happy with about 5 or 6 different actions to choose from and be able to assign these action to individual players in the editor.

Sorry: thought I'd answered this somewhere - Yes, we've done all-new motion capture for all elements of the game.

You mean we won't be hit to square leg on the Blackfoot for 6 off a Yorker anymore??

 

[AsadAbrar]

Would this game have multiple number of bats like in Cricket 07 not like in AC09 where you only had 30 bats?

And is there any chance of a partnership with PCB?

@Chief

Replies please.

@Chief

Replies please.

Re bats: Apologies, I didn't spot the question, but I'd answered it here:

On licensing, I promise as soon as I can tell you about those things, I will. If I don't answer, its because I don't have an answer right now...

This was on the official forum...

Wait: Yorkers being hit for 6? Why did no-one mention this before?

Kidding. [biggrin]

I'm making it my life's ambition to make a cricket game where this can NEVER EVER happen. NEVER. EVER. You have my word.

My new question: Do we have Man of the Match awards and a Team Trophy Cabinet?
