Pro Evo has about 25 ability statistics for each player to distinguish one from another.

Hmmm oh ok its those kinds of stats i thought its in-game stats. Yeah i guess we'll see if those stats actually play a defining part in-game cozz no cricket games to date have REALLY made it seem as if theres a destinct difference between players, eventho the same type of stats were available in pervious games.

22. Opponent AI is being improved to include more tactics and strategy meaning batsmen play urgently or conservatively according to the situation.
I think that's stretching the truth somewhat. Note the word, "improved".

Having played the game for a little while and having read many reviews, lets just see how reliable codemasters promises were.

1. available for the Xbox 360, PC, and Play-Station 2

Yes

2. will deliver with online competitive play on PC (LAN and online) and Xbox Live.

Yep, though I hear Xbox live is not great

3. game will include official ICC Cricket World Cup content, meaning that hundreds of the world's top cricketers will be fully licensed.

Well, most faces are remotely correct, but not much more than 'remotely'

4. includes an ICC Champions Trophy competition and exhibition Tests or One-Day matches and exciting 20-over run fests and 1 day test matches.

Yes

5. improved, including batting, bowling, and fielding

Very vague

6. Player likenesses will now be photo-realistic. Hundreds of real player likenesses are being modeled in high detail, complete with animated facial expressions to capture the intensity and emotion of international cricket.

Facial expressions there but the faces are not accurate

7. Stadia, including all eight official World Cup venues, are also being created with a new level of textured detail and will make use of proprietary shader technology for realistic, subtle and changing lighting effects, such as time of day and weather.

Very good

8. possible release Date - March 2007

Indeed it was

9. the game will lead with a dedicated ICC Cricket World Cup 2007 mode featuring all the official teams, stadia, kits and equipment of the tournament.

Yes

10. batting play will see the introduction of subtle edges, sweep-shots and the ability to use your feet to dance down wicket and smash the ball over the boundary for six.

Yes

11. Bowling will see improved set of delivery types, thanks to changes in the way the ball swings in the air and reacts off the pitch. We will see huge variation of spinning deliveries raw pace and even reverse swing as the ball degrades.

Well, a bit over emphasised but I guess so

12. In Fielding, there?s a new reflex-testing slip catch system and players can now be run out at both ends and be stumped by alert wicket keepers.

Alert, ha!

13. Can generate innings

Yes

14. Able to run out the computers

Yes

15. Licenses have NOT been secured outside the world cup and champions trophy, so we will still be seeing dud names.

We do

16. There is no power - play rule to be implemented in the game.

Correct

17. Commentary team will be the same as BLIC05.

Correct

18. Player Performance is now governed by a series of stats, much like they are in Pro Evo. meaning there is a less chance of McGrath bowling 50kph sitters down the wicket.

Less chance, not eliminated. Also, there are less attributes than in BLIC 05

19. In the player creation system you will be able to make your man a star from the beginning so you don?t have to build up you stats.

Correct

20. There will be a 20/20 mode.

You can play 20 over matches

21. There will be an all new coaching mode which will spend plenty of time walking players through the technical terms of cricket, the classic strategies, and the basic skill for batting and bowling.

Yes

22. Opponent AI is being improved to include more tactics and strategy meaning batsmen play urgently or conservatively according to the situation.

They did try

23. Hawkeye will be included

Yes

24. There is no heath bars

Correct

25. Will include enough licensed cricket equipment to fill a sports shop. brands such as MRF, Kookaburra, Dukes, Gray Nicholls, GM (Gunn & Moore), Morrant, Newbery, Slazenger and Albion will be included.

Yes

26. Real player stats from Wisden.

Yes

Honestly, it seems they did not lie too much. It actually seems that they did not promise that much in essence.
