well one question, why aren't you going to do Zimbabwe.

I wanted to include only few teams currently and I have never seen Zimbabwe playing in any T20 championships.

One update, I was testing the gameplay engine and I was trying to make is produce some realistic scores. Below is a commentary generated by it. Sorry for bad commentary as I used this just for testing the gameplay engine.

Welcome to the T20 International match between India and Pakistan.
The pitch is a bit hard and we may expect some good hitting.

India won the toss and elected to bat first.

Here is the Squad of India:
Gautam Gambhir
Dinesh Karthik
Rohit Sharma
Yuvraj Singh
MS Dhoni
Yusuf Pathan
Ravindra Jadeja
Harbhajan Singh
R.P Singh
Ishant Sharma
Ashish Nehra

Ahmed Sehzad
Kamran Akmal
Shoaib Malik
Misbah ul Haq
Younis Khan
Shahid Afridi

After 10 overs, the situation is bit controlled by Pakistan. The current score is 75/4.
The current run rate is 7.5 per over. If they want to reach 160, they should start hitting some big shots and they should bat at run-rate 8.5 per over.

Score: 75/4
Current RunRate: 7.5 per over
Overs: 10
Estimated Target: 150
Current Batsman 1: Yuvraj Singh

India's innings has been finished. They have managed to set a target of 144 for Pakistan.
Stats:
Score: 143/8
Current RunRate: 7.15
Overs: 20
Current Batsman 1: Ravindra Jadeja

Target for Pakistan: 144
Pakistan need 144 runs from 20 overs at 7.4 runs per over to win this match.

I am really disappointed from the current result. No worries, i'll do more to improve the gameplay. The most weird thing is that run rate was decreased after 5 overs. Anyways, I hope i'll be able to make some improvements.

I could've thought of giving suggestions but I've got to be locked about the source code until April.

What you mean? No problems, you can at least give me an outside suggestion. I am sure that will be too helpful.

 

[Kshitiz_Indian]

Yeah but if I give even suggestions and my teacher reads them I'm doomed. She'd think I copied.

Tell her that you conveyed to your student. She won't mind if her student is teaching his student

EDIT: I need one person who can test the gameplay engine I have made so far. t would be better if he has some experience in playing CC09 or ICC 2009.

 

[hedger_14]

why does it have to be 09 and not 08, 07 etc.

Sorry. That was a mistake in writing. It could be any version. Just Cricket Coach and ICC too.

Here is the latest update about the progress:

Some new features has been added like Playing 11 selection from 15 men squad for each country.
New optimized database system.
Database is now customizable so that if you want to change the players, you can replace it with old players.
Gameplay engine is now improved. It is producing better results.


Just a small question, If i'll include more and more features than the game may take some time to be completed otherwise if you guys are fine with the small features listed in the first post then game will not take more time. Tell me your views please.

 

[Gary123]

i think this is fantastic hitty,btw what sort of other features will you inckude if you do so?

 

[hedger_14]

ok well i'll test it, ive played cricket coach 2007 and 2009 for the trial versions. played ford ranger cup manager which is sort of like CC but just the ford ranger cup and i've got ICC III and i've played the latter 2 versions on trial.

 

[Hitterman]

Thanks Hedger. It will work. I am just sorting out the database connection problems along with the current batsman's name. I'll send a PM to you soon regarding this. I have added you in the list.

Hitterman added 15 Minutes and 4 Seconds later...

Can someone make portrait avatars for each players of the database? Of course he will be credited. There will be around 150 players and the size will be 150*150.

Please PM me if you are ready to do this job.

Hitterman never added anything later so don't be so curious.

 

[hedger_14]

i could do it if you want me to.

Nice work Hitterman.

Would like to see the full release of this game. As you know, I am working on something similar but to be used for PBeM games.
