Hi Ross, when can we expect screeshots for the "real" version of the cricket game??? Can you just give an estimate???

Guarantee that even an estimate he gives will be taken as gospel by 99% of people here

I believe that's the very reason why Ross is quiet about screenshots. Word such as "promised" by users will occur in their future posts. However I see this game as a great starting point for a very competetive future cricket title.

Hi ross

How are things going, can you tell us the pros and cons about
making a cricket game vs say a football kind of games ?

Are you guys interested in making dev dairies also about all kind of things ?
We can't let GTA 5 have all the spot light can we guys.
Last question, anything new to tell us or to busy with the game ?

Hi Ross,

When can we expect the screenshots for the real cricket game? Can you tell us bit about the progress of the game?

thanks

I would expect the game to be realistic in gameplay ,AI and scoring runs.I would expect Big ants to show a video of the gameplay as well..

----------

Pls make a freely placed players for field settings in the game like the cricket revolution..

Isn't it great when we talk about Cricket, Big Ant and EA Sports in the same article?

Pls give some screenshots regardless of the graphics in progress or finished...We want to have something to see and enjoy in the mean time before the game is released ...so pls screenshots on alternate days would be gr8...

----------

But have to mention the above screenshot is awesome...seems like the batsman has got out edging the ball to the keeper..tats why he is looking to his bat in the pic.....

Yes it was nice for Andrew to mention this... we pitch all the time to them, maybe one day we'll work with them

 

[Gamer Pradosh]

Another suggestion is tat when a batsman come down the wicket to hit aggressively then he can get stumped when a spinner is bowling but in the case of a fast bowler or swing bowler he does not do so...Pls make sure tat he does it with every type of bowler.....

You are going to pitch for Cricket as well? I am very sure EA won't get a quality Cricket product like yours so this is their opportunity if they want to re enter the Cricket market.

 

[Gamer Pradosh]

Some new info or screenshots pls.....

 

[coold98]

it would be gr8 to have toney greig,dany morisson,ramiz raja,michale holdin as commentators....... in career mode will there be tournaments?there should be an option to play a full series against a team and plZ HVE licence of some teams

In my opinion education is the key, if people understand that piracy is theft in the strictest sense then that would reduce it. They need to understand that they are stealing.

Then after understanding that it is theft, it is what makes a person think the theft reasonable, and in that regard I agree with above, but in the order of availability followed by affordability.

Availability - You won't sell it to me so I will take it.
Affordability - You want to rip me off so I will take it.

We have often had publishers delay releases across the globe by platform to try and combat both piracy and grey importation. Many in the West will import games from India so as to have a reduced price, so the release there is delayed.
PC is often delayed as it is the most pirated platform, this is to ensure Console sales before pirate PC is available.

First of all Ross... Huge props to you for being so active on these forums since it has got to be real hard work since you're a developer and all but I couldn't help but expand the above topic!

Where I live people still think that the <$1 copy of a game they buy in most shops are legal and only downloading a game is illegal... So the lack of education point you raise completely valid! Though if you would understand the main issue of "affordability" you'll find a different picture... I myself though understand piracy and try to support developers such as you as best as I possibly can. But since I'm only 16 and live off my parents money I'll have to say my parents aren't the richest people in the world and anything such as gaming consoles and PCs and others mainly come out of my own pocket,,, basically I can't afford much of these things so you can take me out of the picture of discussion... BUT! The average Joe who, lets suppose, loves video games, is gonna have a pretty hard struggle(and I use "pretty" loosely here) getting his "objects of desire"... Let's expand on that. So this individual raises some side change and finally gets a console or mid-range/high-end PC ... And he loves one of any those sports franchise's videogames (e.g. FIFA, Madden, NBA type) he's gonna have to cough up some more dough to finally get his hands on one... Now considering that MOST games aren't imported in most countries in Asia and beyond, he has to pay a huge amount of money cause of price changes, which in the end sum up to something around half of his salary! Now he can't play the same game forever can he? He's only human... And there are tons of new releases every year. But the problem here is that.. down in this part of the world there are a LOT of said "average Joes"! Sorry for the long rant but this is something that ALWAYS bothers me!
Your'e a developer and only you and all those other ones can really understand how it feels when you work so hard on something and people start to steal it and take advantage of you... But what about the guys could be barely afford a console and then when they finally struggle for one they get hit with the heart attack of unusually prices like GTA IV's when it was released...
Keep in mind that I'm talking about avid gamers... P.S. Pay-checks in third world countries is noticeably low compared to first world!
.

(Exhales) Sorry for the long rant and again real thanks for keeping up with your customers on PlanetCricket! Good luck!

...Side question... is the game going to be released in Pakistan at all? And like will the prices be balanced or is it going to cost the same as it would in Australia?
Looking real forward to the game and TBH I myself hope to be a developer some day Cheers!

I wanted to call it BA Cricket but thought that I might get into a bit of trouble

We will reveal the name at a closer time to launch.

Some suggestions:
1. ICC Cricket 2014* (*or whatever the the releasing year)

2. Cricket 2014 (Supposing EA didn't patent that stuff... EA Cricket is dead anyways... though can't remember the last time it lived either xD)

3. World Series/Cup/Championship Cricket

And no offense but PLEASE... Don't include Big Ant in the name cause those things sound like arcade games like Cricket Revolution... It has to feel official EVEN if it's not... Here's hoping for something that lives up to its tagline ...
