maybe Chief or Ross could give us their thoughts on first mover advantage?
Ross, I am heading down to Melbourne this week on a business trip. Mind if I pop in to BigAnt Studios and say hi?
Ross and the Big Ant team have used Sachin's Retirennt as a very good strategy for selling. In all likelihood the game will release during Tendulkar's last match, as the entire world would be following the game and it would be a cricket crazy environment everywhere. Keeping that in mind they have scheduled the playsessions about 2 weeks prior to the release. Very intelligent thinking panel they have, I must say.![]()

if commercial "buyers" at retail haven't seen something this week or next then your product will not be seen before Christmas.
I am speaking at Game Connect Asia Pacific and then heading to Redmond for Xbox One stuff this coming week so it will depend on when you are around as I might not be.
Maybe PM me and we will see what we can do (this sort of thing is better in PM).
Edit: I should add, I wont be able to show you the game![]()
I also hope he doesn't mind me adding that I am sure that confidentiality agreements, written or in spirit, apply and it is not reasonable to ask him questions about Ashes on anything that is not public domain, he likely has no ability to reply.
I prefer only mover advantage myself
There is a lot to this and maybe 10% has been raised on here.
@chief That is what I meant by spirit
Smart ass chief, still a cool man I see chief.
PS Chief maybe you should make a cricket game and start your own company, already got a name for you dude.
Chief Enterprises.![]()
@ross I know. Just wanted to double stamp it. You know. For everyone.

All being well, you'll hear from me again at some point about a fresh Cricket "game". But it will be a long, long way away from what's gone before.
It'll need a new thread. And, in fact, an entirely new PC category.![]()
when is it releasing?
