How are you going in International Cricket 2010?

[barmyarmy]

I just don't understand how you guys get batsmen past 50 on Test matches on hard. I get well set batsmen edging behind defensive shots :doh

The session I played was quite good (until the end). Used defensive shots and leaves to get the batters to confident then starting using more attacking shots (sometimes reduced power). Anything short or full was going.
I think Wealy said it but err on the side of playing too early. Inside edges are generally less dangerous than outside edges.

 

[Wealey]

ve increased all batting stats evenly for the south african team by exactly 10%

Win v SA in West Indies on hard

SA 4/205 after 48 overs

(Smith 101*, Roach 2/40)

ill keep ya updated!

Glad you did!! I was not lying when i said it made for good matches!!

Just started a 2 match test series with England vs Bangladesh, first test been at Lords. On Hard difficulty, action cam for both batting and bowling and full HUD, too scared to be without it at mo

Bangladesh won the toss and elected to field.

Currently ENG 103/2 at lunch
Strauss b Reza 47 (79)
Cook c Ashraful b S.Hossain 10 (26)
Trott not out 30 (56)
Pietersen not out 12 (23)

Found it very hard to get boundries and have managed a grand total of........ none so far
was annoyed that I got Strauss out stupidly trying to get his half century with a 4 and just failed miserable lol

I've stopped playing the game until my new 26" HD LCD TV Monitor arrives. I want HD.

Hopefully it should arrive within the next hour or two, failing that monday.

 

[-D-S-B-]

Yeah, I've been playing on my crappy old TV, but now I've move the PS3 to the 42" HD TV, the game is much more enjoyable
Might start a test now actually.

I mean, there's nothing to look forward to. Nothing at all...

 

[Chater1703]

FINALLY!!! 2nd over after lunch i get my first boundary lol. KP lofting one over the fielders

gotta love superhuman wicket keepers

oh deary me

Currently 134/4 Trott been caught on 32 and KP going for 40 the ball after he smashed a 6

I sense a collapse

 

[Gilly Fan]

Got bowled out for 288, 2 runs in front of New Zealand. Thing was I wanted to hit a few sixes, hence the loss of wickets. Hussey top scored with 108.

Currently have New Zealand 3/59 from 16 overs in their second innings all from mistimed drives.

I played a 5 over game on hard. Its harder than i thought it would be, i was good at ashes. Not the best on here but ic2010 batting is so much harder than ashes, maybe i need more practice. I made only 23 runs of 5 overs with 5 wickets down. On the 5th over i sloged the ball and made 10 runs. Its harder to play along the ground than slog, but i like that. If you want to make runs fast then its ok but if you want to make 300+ then a mix is better like the real think. Maybe the poor slog shot is a little too powerful but a small tweak by trickstar should fix that.ps have you guys seen a this bug, i ran for a 1 and said no but the other side batsmen was on the same said as i and he was ran out.:banana2:doh

I see that you play left arm spinners as well as KP does

I bowled out england with pakistan on hard with min hud for just 80.
I rotated Aamer, Gul and Asif and they were 67/7 at lunch. Brought on D.Kanaria after lunch and he mopped up the rest 6-2-8-3.
Batting is to hard and bowling is to easy. Simples!
If you want to make the AI innings last, simply remove fielders from the covers and point areas. Thats where i take 90% of my catches anyway! But that defeats the point to me.
I would have been happy if this game was just a patched AC09 to be honest.
I cant argue with the power stick as that addition works well. The option to turn off action cam also works for me, but the broadcast view on this game seems worse than AC09. The 90mph+ deliveries look like 85's. On AC09 a M.Johnson 95mph yorker shot down the wicket and gave a good perspective of how fast that type of delivery really is. But on IC10. Nope, looks like Johnsons turned to a medium fast.
I also dont see how people say the player faces with england and australia are good?! When a player is apealing for an lbw, he looks like hes doing an impersonation of the screem painting!! And as for B.Lee, whats that all about?!?! The players face editor is set up better, but still very poor quality number and designs of faces.
And i cant stick the commentary. I went 4 overs without any commantary once. I.Bishop says the same fiew things, as does S.Warne. Aggers says the odd new thing, and of course bumble is new, but in all i found the commentary much worse than AC09.
As others have mensioned, ive also had the mystery "clean bowled" bug happen. Twice ive "clean bowled" a batter, but the bails didnt even move!!
In the first couple of days i would have given this 9 out of 10. Now playing for the first couple of weeks its 5 out of 10 for me. Such a shame and am very disapointed in it. Just goes to show you can never go on other peoples comments. You have to try first. Perfect advert for renting before buying.
These are all my opinions of course and i dont expect everyone to think the same way.
