Once again, nice to see a thoroughly well-researched answer based on a number of clear and valid points.
although i am in favour of ashes 2009 but that post was real waste in fact some people just dont understand
this"i love ashes 2009:laugh:laugh:happy:happy"
:doh
will not help anyone or serve a purpose of comparison
please try to give gameplay points of the game you support like
mine
Batting : 360 batting system is superb and much better than the boring 8 shot system of 07 although ai pacing and field placing suffer a bit but overall the batting is better
Bowling : Even in bowling ashes wins hands down as it as more variations ,last moment swing option,better execution meter change bowling in 07 is just too monotonous although the color coded system of ashes is just not good enough but the overall experience is far superior to 07
Fielding :This one is not even in the frame for 07 as there is just the option to choose ends while fielding the catching system makes the fielding intresting in ashes
Game modes : cric 07 has more game modes of course and ashes loses hands down in this one even there were no licenses but even generic tournaments should have been added
@Gameplay patches of 07 are already taken into account while comparing the gameplay
Although it is gameplay discussion patches also have a
bit of ffect on gameplay
Patches(Graphical) : cric 07 is much better in this respect too there are loads of modders patching it also some legendary modders(zaxotes,ahad etc) are also there ashes is behind because full editability has not been enabled but still kits,bats,armguards,stumps,ropes,crowds,in-game text is editable also some legendary modders are there (srk,kabooka)
soon when full version of big editor by abhinav will be released the game will become better than 07 in this regard.(remember cric 07 was launched in 06 and now its 2010) but if the editor is released the ashes will catch up with 07 but currently ashes is behind 07
