uv not played the game on anything but village have you, if you look at sum of the threads with views with sum base for there claim u would realise sumreal cricketers have sum views on the realism of the game and they actually knowKyleP said:It is so boring, predictable and very very very annoying!
if anyone is thinking about purchasing , DONT
its porbably the worst cricket game i have ever played
when i first bought it i really enjoyed the first few matches but very quickly caught on its such a badly made game!
here are several downfalls which make this game unplayable
1. AI Batting , its probably the worst ai in a sports game for a long long time
in a fast paced 10-50 over game they never run when theres easily 1 or 2 quick runs to be had, Also they hit it in the same spot depending on the field layout you have!. If you have a gap on the offside, they will attempt to hit the ball down there all the time.., If there is no gaps it will attempt to ball behind him all the time!, even if u have a third man and fine leg fielder ,
It has no brains!, it will hit it there ...and theres an obvious 1 run to be had , it wont run it..
(Ive done several tests with it , on different teams and on average every 10 overs they get 1 runs)
So now you have the worst part of the game the batting!
With its repetitive batting play which will surely drive you crazy after several overs!
I love games which are as much reallife to the sport, which brings me on to number 2
2.The commentry is appauling if its not one commentator saying the same line after all 6 balls on the over , its one commentator rambling on throught the whole over without even updateing the game!
Yes its true!, even if you score 6's, LBW Calls or other major effects in the game , there is one guy rambling on how fit you have to be in 'todays cricket' or how important it is to have '2 good opening batsmen' Its annoyed me so much today i shouted 'shut the f**k up' at the screen, thats how crazy im getting playing the game!
3. A nice sunday afteroon relaxing game of cricket was one major plus for me when playing slow paced cricket games such as cricket 2002 and brian lara for playstation,..A like a slow informative over when the crowed react to the important things in a game!
OH NO not with blic2005 ! , this game is so fast paced u can play an over in under 30 seconds, i can see that may be a plus to some people , but its totaly annoying when you can continiously hear the crowed SHOUTING AND SCREEMING through the whole 'f**ck**g game!
4. Batting , id say batting is as bad as the rest of the game, i was quite shocked when i first saw the batting as the play does not react in anyway untill he strikes the ball , when he does it isnt a smoothly operated slowly progressive shot down the legside!. No! its an intant blur of what seems to be the same shot being played all the time!. also when in real life cricket that the last 3 batmens cant even get the ball to touch there bat?..Well in blic05 it seems to be!...
5. Overall this game is very disapointing , it seems the effort has gone in but in all the wrong places , i meen the types of bowling and is very nice and refreshing to have in a long game , but all the important factors to have in a long played game is not there.
Im seriously thinking about selling this game tommorow

Play against the CPU and it sucks bigtime.
Play against another player and its a very good game coz u dont get the AI problems and people tend to make there own mistakes which creates excitment in a game,i pld my cousin and with AUS he got 231 all out in 46.2 overs ,me as ENG got 198 all out in 45.5 overs it was really an exciting game to play,but when i play computer it really is crap coz like peeps say they dont run for easy singles they dont even try to chase a score.
Jusy goes to show AI really does need a lot of work. : :
