Thats going to be my last game on IC2010 for a while, the AI in the game make the game boring, I may come back to it at a later date, but I think thats me done for now.
Edit; The comment above was very harsh and I did indeed jump to conclusions, I was just very annoyed that Steyn got the last 4 wickets with inswinging yorkers that each batsman missed! I will be playing the game again![]()
well I finally got the game today. I didn't realize it had been released elsewhere in the world. Didn't realize we got so jipped here in Oz. I've started the game on Hard minimal HUD. Seems a fair bit harder than 09 which is great. One minor gripe is the time it takes to cancel a run. Oh and that the commentary seems to be the same as 09? Well Warnes commentary was. That's a little unforgivable. I guess I will turn it off and give my own commentary. I'm told I do good impersonations.The pacing seems good for now. I haven't batted too long though so I'll come back with some more constructive and experienced views. HUD off seems quite hard. I'm not sure how playable it will be given the time it gives you to play shots etc. It would be interesting if we could find out exactly the amount of time it gives you. That would shed some light on whether or not it gives us enough time to react. As a persons reaction to seeing a stimuli and then acting on that stimuli is measurable and know. (what it is I'm not sure, can't remember but could find out with a simple google search.)
The problem is not necessarily the reaction time you have. A batsmen facing a 145km/h cricket ball over 22 yards has little reaction time to decide which shot how and when to play. This is in principle the same with this game. However the problems lies in the control set-up to play the shot. Whereas a batsmen instinctively uses his two hands in quick movement to place the bat in the way of the ball, we are confronted with different fingers having to press different buttons as well as pointing the joystick in a suitable direction. This task takes much longer for the brain to work out and put into action. Only with practice or an even more intuitive batting control will it work. Maybe there is a way to combine the power stick with shot choice: no pressure is defensive, more pressure is attacking, with even more pressure to force the ball more fully....
With hud off any leave is pure quess work.
