I wont say this year is out of question just yet. I remember Ross said people will know the release date by the end of November. That would mean this week. I expect some sort of announcement this week.
Ross is still here and still active on the forums. I think if he had something to hide he would not have been here. Hopefully we get the release date this week with a release this year.
Ross sounds like somebody who does what he says and he is not hiding or anything. The only reason he is keeping the date quiet is probably because of the opposition. They are literally going head to head. I think if Ashes announced a month ago that they would not be bringing out a game anymore, Ross would have told us the release date long ago.
Anything he tells us the competition will also know so he has had to be careful.
I am not suggesting Ross has anything to hide, he has always been straight with us and turned out to be completely right when he warned several months ago that the Ashes game would first be delayed, then when it was released total rubbish. I'm just saying that other factors might have had an impact on Big Ant's release plans. For example, we were once told that the game was due to be out 'before October' but the delay to the Ashes game meant that did not happen. So I'm thinking with such little time left in this calendar year that a 2013 release might be ambitious too.
