Online should pretty much remain the same as most of the bug fixes and enhancements were supposed to be related to AI, i.e. runout bug, incorrect line & length, AI middle order pacing etc. I guess one thing they can look at from online perspective is penalizing ppl who drop out of a game but it will open a can of worms related to connection related issues.

In my case there were plenty of times there were connection issues related to gaming or PS3 server and not with the opponent. So how will game manage that coz I would hate to get a bad rating due to connection related issues. I just hope that Codies have fixed AI so that the game has some offline playability.

but i think that quitter problem + ping that shows opponents conn strength
were already there in patch
so apart from them i m sure there must be some other improvement

Ouch, hope you're ok srk! Were you hit or did you hit someone or something?

I am okey thanks. I hit someone lack of concentration.

 

[Kiko_97]

Now you should learn that you need to concentrate while driving or you might be worse off next time, which I hope doesn't happen of course

 

[indrajeet1811]

any idea what time the hands on is going to be put up?

 

[Gone4aDuck]

No time soon by the look of it!
I would have a guess they might get home abit late, so will post in morning.
Either that or the game is just soooooo good they cant stop playing it! But i highly doubt thats the case.

Yes i go to mate. thanks for the info I am not that bad of a driver though. Maybe lack of sleep and excitement has caused the crash

 

[79cricket]

Going to bed now, looking forward to reading
your hands on, been working all night.
Also please check the no ball problem,
After 20 overs if the ai has bowled about
10 no balls. Then please punch someone
at trickstar for me.:laugh

what a nightmare journey home, a 2 hour drive took 4 hours!

Am a bit tired to write a full review tonight but post away with any questions and I'll answer what I can.

I'm coming from the 'general player' camp so you wont get much in the way of technicalities from me, but I'll definitely give you all the information and opinion I can. Background is I had A09 on 360., never saw the PC patch before, so today was a totally new experience for me.

Good to hear the other 2 lads are OK btw, more important things in life then games/cricket, life itself being one!

 

[kamy100]

I suppose the first question would be, is this game an improvement on the console version of AC09, particularly the offline experience against the AI? If it is an improvement, which ways has it improved, if it is worse then in what ways is it worse?

 

[pcfan123]

Did the bowlers leg breaking the stumps bit happen?

Hi guys,

Its Mohamed.. i have just reached home somehow after meeting an fatal accident on M40 today whilst going to Leamington spa. Me and My brother escaped with minor injuries.

i know you were all counting on us to go and giving you an honest review, but my fate has something else written for me.

Just thanking god at this moment and time that we both managed to survive. I am sorry guys.

Firstly, Mohamed, I am really glad you are okay.

Like rlfan82, I won't attempt to write a review, I am absolutely bollocked, 8 hours on the train, on a hot day when CrossCountry decided to not bother putting enough carriages on.

Quick answers whilst I'm here.

Mark - No, I didn't see it happen.

I tried to do the off-spinner exploit and failed. More on it tomorrow.
