Cricket Coach - small delay

[Sureshot]

I have to agree this is very frustrating.

Rather them do what EA do then?

Thought not.

Hi everyone,

Thanks for your patience. The chances are a release will be made on March 31st, it's extremely unlikely we will go past this date without making a version available.

Someone asked what the bugs were, well I can confirm the players do in fact play cricket, and not football as suggested .

The bugs are small things like minor competitions not being completed, text overlapping, random fielder movements etc. The sort of things that don't ruin a game, but things we'd like to clear before letting you all play the game.

To echo what Oli has said, we have spent the best part of two years working on this title and therefore an extra couple of weeks is nothing if it makes the game that 10-15% more enjoyable to play.

I think waiting a couple of weeks extra won't be too hard - better to wait without the game than wait with a buggy one for a patch.

Happy to see proper game testing Oli

Mind you - the random fielder movement seems pretty much realistic if you play at the level I play at Often look over my shoulder after my "well disguised slower ball" has been slapped - only to find the long off has wandered off to cover boundary so he can chat to the guy at deep point.

Keep up the good work ...

Nice to see that game testing is being done in this manner.2 weeks is ok for all of us , i suppose?

 

[baz_m]

will it be the softwrap technology like ICC 2005 had?

 

[Bilal91]

Would there be any updates after the release as Empire(ICC 05) hasn't relesed one for their game...

 

[Ste]

Yes the downloadable version will use the same softwrap technology as ICC 2005. The makers of Cricket Coach have said they will continue teh development after the release so hopefully this means patches will be released.

I've probably missed this being typed somewhere, but during as this thread is popular I'll type it here. Is there going to be a version released on a hard copy, by that I mean Disc rather than just for Download?

 

[mrjamierocks]

how big is the game to download,megabytes that is?

 

[viral1991]

It has not been announced yet but it should be around 10-20MB.

 

[hassan]

thats alright noty that big

 

[IloveGilly]

I'd expect it to be around 40MB. It's a detailed game and probably will be bigger.

As long as its good, I don't mind how big it is.
