First of all i dont know why everyone is making such a fuss about the game being all choppy and whatnot. While i was downloading the demo i read what some of you guys said about how ur pcs kinda struggle to run the game on high settings and i was like "ah crap...my graphics card is like 3 years old and i dont exactly have aawesome pc so its gonna lag like crazy" - but it runs like a trooper, no slow frame rates or anything and I only have a 256mb Sapphire Radeon X800pro...not exactly state of the art lol anyway...
Seems like the developers dont like Watson too much cozz hes a complete bunny on this demo and as on BLC2005 Punter still plays around anything straight as well cozz hes never made more than 5runs when i bowled to him on 2005 and same again on the demo.
Overall I cant say im too impressed or dismayed...some things are good and others kinda ordinary.
- The throwing metre is rediculous I hope the 10% they fixed after the demo included making it at least slightly possible to time the freekin throw because it just pops on the screen without warning and unexpectedly before you even have the ball and if you dont press it in a split second you throw it like over the keeper's head.
- I think the batting mechanics are pretty cool...the way you can rotate where you want the ball to go with the mouse and ive only played two games so im not sure yet whether its just a gimmick or actually means the ball wont just travel down a certain line for a specific shot like we've seen in EVERY SINGLE cricket game ever made. If it does work its pretty cool...
Something that does bother me....why the HELL is the bowling so slow?? I mean if i remember correctly Brett Lee was pretty quick in the previous game and im not talking about the speed that comes onto the screen but the actual pace of the ball - its so loopy still do you guys think its perhaps because of the difficulty setting of the demo? Do you think it will be quicker on higher difficulty? I really hope so...
The animations and graphics are slightly better but not much....and i dont understand why every player on the field is a fatty, even Brett Lee has a double chin! Im not sure if i will buy this, its a lot of money for a game that hasnt changed all that much BUT I do like the fact that the computer actually runs quick singles it will make it much better to play than the previous game.
so yeah...i will play some more and post more of my opinions later on perhaps.
