Cricket coach 2009 released!!!

Cricket coach is very close to being a very good game. The run rates, crashing and the annoying bugs get fixed it would be a good game. Until then it remains crap with potential.

That's a bit harsh, I wouldn't say it's crap. It's bludey great work with a few errors but people have impossible expectations that It'll be perfect.
 
Very true, the game does have its flaws, no-one has tried to cover those up. What Oli is doing, is trying to fix them and make the game is great as possible.
 
The game's really fun and enjoyable atm. I'm playing an England save atm and I'm having a problem:

It's the T20 World Cup and I try and select my team. That's done, fine, I go to the game and at the coin toss bit the team is different. I've tried loads of times and the same thing happens. This is really annoying because it's only playing 4 bowlers and I have to bowl Colly who gets tonked.

This has been mentioned a fair few times and it will be looked into.

It matters how you view it. If you compare it to FM it's crap, if you compare it to ICC it's average. But i'm sure if you compare any management game to FM it's crap.

In comparison, perhaps. Although EA and Rockingham aren't exactly on a level playing field are they? Oli is trying his best, and that's what matters. Give him the staff and the money, then we will see what happens.


Also for Simbazz, a few things I did notice was when selecting your squad I tried to choose the bottom player from the eligible players list and everytime I hit add to squad it chose the bloke 4 places up fro him. Well I was trying to select Roelof van der Merwe so I also noticed that he was a Right arm fast Medium not a Slow left Arm. Also didn't know if it was just me or not, but I couldn't find Sanath Jayasuriya or Scott Styris.

EA International Cricket Captain?! :help

EA FIFA Manager 09 is what I believe he was talking about, obv. And ICCaptain is that much greater than ICCoach if better at all. Just has some dodgy animation that makes people think it's something special.

I've just checked the database that we work from and Jayasuriya is there, as is Styris. Roelof van der Merwe will be a SLA in the next version.

Yeah I kind of figured they were there but I was being blind. What about selecting the bottom player bug? I couldn't seem to select Roe.

Agreed. Although don't talk to Sureshot about that. :p

The selection bug is known about, and has been said many times :)
 
I would rate it above yeah. IPL/NZ domestic cricket and one seriously dedicated dude being active on forums and always bringing out updates.

Match engine is slightly off, but I expect that to be fixed.

Oh so it has NZ domestic cricket?

Is it quite similar to playing as the English county teams in ICC, can you sign up players and what not?

Plus where can you get it from?
