Honestly, do you really believe they have shown
nothing different?
Career mode and manual appealing are two right off the top of my head that have never been seen before and have been requested many a time.
To be honest career mode is something which is and has been bog standard in sport games for years, its hardly anything new. The same can be said for manual appealing, cricket is based on appealing decisions, next you'll be saying how great it is that this game includes stumps and a ball.
Because one weeks worth of movement could change the month?
I do agree with your general point though, if one is
know (to a two week range it would be nice to know but I wont be beating myself up over it.
Well its not too hard to say that it is due to drop between the end of September and middle of October for example.
In what way do they have the same shortcomings? They didnt give a release day only wait until right before it to miss it. Twice.
Effectively starting an advertising campaign and getting fans on board without any real intention to announce a release date. They keep discussing how they dont want to discuss an announcement. If you have nothing to bring to the table then don't sit down.
I dont think this game will be perfect, but it could be. Its unlikely anyone would nail it first time though and this could be the beginning of a great series. Especially as BA seem very receptive to the community.
For me the underlined just shows the ridiculous expectation on this game.
As for "Just get the game out there", well thats just a load of crap. Do you want a flawed product out there?
Well haven't they been saying for ages that the game is complete but they just need to pick the right strategic date to release it. It's not like a major series has just ended and people have no recent cricket game to waste the time between series with. Its not like they currently have no rival either...
