Hi guys, I just installed this patch, I used config editor and imported the patch in from there. I'm just wondering, do I need to import the patch in everytime using Config Editor just before playing Cricket 2004, or do I never have to import it again? Sorry, just confused.

Disclaimer:

As the rule of thumb, first backup your "cricket_pc.gob" found under the Data folder of u'r Cricket 2004 game folder before installing the patch if u wish to revert to original gameplay!. As this is the beta, am not intr in providing the un-installers!

Intro:

Few New Tweaks Made from the previous versions along with few bugs been fixed!. Just test it to find out!.

1. Pace for the seam/swing/spin bowlers were changed!(u may feel it while u play)

2. Edge values tweaked.

3. Pacing Improved in both Tests/ODIs.

4. CPU and Us will get the power, desired direction, timing after only the player will set for some time. Otherwise the result will be a disaster.

5. Each and every stroke's Key frame Timing values redefined.

6. Each and every Stroke's Power, Direction, Height tweaked accordingly.

7. Now the quality bowlers will get more seam/swing/spin from the pitch where as lesser quality bowlers will struggle to find any help from the pitch.

8. New field settings for both Tests/ODIs

9. New Regular Camera Settings along with Replay Camera Settings been Introduced and been presented in GI format. (Bug fixed from prevoius release)

10.Dance down Strokes been reduced and tweaked!.

11. Innovative IRCU beta included. IND, PAK, AUS, ENG Teams Player's char are currently modified!.(Few new changes made from the previous one!)


Game Modes:

Though i thought to release only the Hard Mode, am also have to realise the importance of Normal Mode. Hard Mode made very difficult!(unplayable at times), where as Normal Mode made a bit easy, still difficult to an extent!.

So TESTS/ODIs/FCM/ODM in HARD/NORMAL MODES SUPPORTED!


Installation:

REMEMBER!, UNINSTALLERS NOT PROVIDED FOR THIS BETA VERSION!

Included files in the "cgpv3beta.zip" archive are:

1. cgpv3beta.cfg

2. cgpv3betafields.zip

3. cgpv3camsetbeta.zip

4. dancedowncoverdrivefix.zip

5. cgpv3ircubeta.zip

6. and this "cgpv3betaReadMe.txt".

1.After unzip the cgpv3beta.zip, install the "cgpv3beta.cfg" using "Config Editor Version:2 by Prakash" using "import patch" option,

2.Install the "cgpv3betafields.zip" using "Graphics importer version:3 by Prakash" using "import zip" option.

3.Install the "cgpv3camsetbeta.zip" using "Graphics importer version:3 by Prakash" using "import zip" option.

4.Install the "dancedowncoverdrivefix.zip" using "Graphics importer version:3 by Prakash" using "import zip" option

5.BEFORE INSTALLING cgpv3ircubeta.zip JUST BACKUP YOUR "roster.pak". IT WILL HELP YOU IN A CRISIS!.

5a.Just unzip the "cgpv3ircubeta.zip" into u'r preferred folder. Now copy the contents into "c:\My Documents\EA SPORTS\Cricket 2004\user-xxx", (where xxx - is your user name in-game).

5b.After you begin a tourney just save it on any available slot!, then by using "prakash-line up editor latest version", import your teams with "Roster-import" option. Say for example if you are playing "IND v PAK" game, just import "ircuIndia.lst" and "ircuPakistan.lst" using "line up editor-import roster" option.(Make sure you select the corresponding teams before importing the roster list, otherwise the game may crash!, for example before importing ircuIndia.lst", you have to select "Team" India"). Thats it!, Now you can enjoy your game with out any hassle.

5c.If you don't import the roster list after beginning a tourney it won't work!. It will only select a player from in-game(default) line-up. So that the characteristics tweak won't work!. But for the exhibition matches you won't have to import the roster list. It will automatically plays with the edited line-up where as for other tourney formats follow the step no:2.


Now what?:

After playing a bit with this beta patch, pls remind to put your comments/reviews/feedback into Planetcricket forum thread, so that we can make happy CGPv3!

hey boss i will also use your patch for my story thread next match in the south african odi series between south africa and the west indes so i can also giv u a rev soon
 
since this is for Hard mode as well, makes it good for story writers to use it for their story threads and review it too..

Here is a review of your patch

India vs England at the Oval, Hard mode

Wanna know my score??? 7-8 after 4 overs!!!!!! I was basically testing the advance down the wicket shots to see if they are tweaked and wow, they are tweaked enough, may be a bit too much. No advance shots touch the bat!!! The batsman comes down the wicket in his usual manner but brings down the bat too late and the ball sneaks through to his stumps. Have you edited it so that after some confidence, he is able to use this shot to good effect??

Timing is really really hard for me. And you have done a great job at that!!! As usual dismissal modes vary. Ganguly and Pathan were out when the ball sneaked through their defences and rattled the stumps. So, the possibility of the ball missing exists! Playing a normal shot looks really good but mostly finds the fielders which i think is good too becoz it makes it more harder to score now.

I challenge all these masters of Cricket2004 to try this patch on Hard mode and try to blast 1000 runs in an ODI. No one can may be!!!Again, an great challenging patch for Cricket2004.

Looks like I might have to switch to Normal mode for my story thread as Hard mode for me at least, seems to take off the realism.

More updates on the review: Way too many edges for the CPU batsman. And the majority of the edges were running towards the boundary at great speed. Should tweak this aspect. In this game so far, only edge was pouched by the keeper. rest all, went away for runs. Since this is a Normal pitch, the amount of edges is perplexing and needs serious tweak! And for the tail enders, whenever they play a straight drive, they edge. And the edges dont carry to the fielders. Though they do not go to the boundary, some of the edges should carry to the fielders.

Are you working on making the game more realistic on Hard Mode or on Normal mode? Looks like Hard mode might not be for realistic matches and it seems to be for hardcore gamers which I am not one! I was 19 all out off 9 overs. And the CPU scored 23/1 after 2.1 overs

Ok, played Australia vs India
i'm australia. Bowled India out for 2runs after 4overs. All the wickets were edges to gilly or firstslip, and i also bowled 2people out as well. Pretty much every shot the cpu plays if you bowl a line outside offstump, is edged.
 
Review:
======

Here is the review after playing couple of ODIs between India and Australia at hard level:
1. Fast Bowlers can now bowl much quicker and get decent swing.
2. The hard level is bowler friendly .. both for CPU and human player
3. Human batsman cannot play full pitched / full toss delivery .. They get clean bowled. CPU somehow manages it in most of the cases.
4. Far 2 many edges ... need to control them.
5. Far 2 many byes ... problem faced with other patches too.

Still to review:
===========
1. CPU pacing his innings... cannot make out in totals as low as in 20s(courtesy byes)
2. Bowling of spin bowlers (again did not get chance to play against the spinners as the fast bowlers do their part)
3. Normal mode.

Still lots of things needs to be worked on this patch.
 
I mean I really cant get this,The patch works different in some comptuers and different in some others,I mean I get good results using your patch but some people gets bad results,
