If you declare with less than the amount of time it takes for an innings change at the end of a match - (normally 10 minutes) The game crashes (freeze)
Been like this since ICC 2000
If you play certain mid season ODI's then the fixture list corrupts leaving you with unfinished domestic fixtures to play when the season ends (and the game crashes)
Been like this since ICC 2000
Sometimes the ODI's on in the English touring winter are nonsense (match 7 of 6 - and shows you with a 4-2 up in the series , even though you have yet to play a game.

The ability to save squads is gone (so I have to keep messing around with that).
The selecting of bowling style has been slowed down,. Why do we need to go into the menu now? The clicks on the icon worked fine.
Kolpak is broken (those that are in it seem to have errors - and the idea isn't supported by regens at all - at least in games I've played...Same since 2005.
Had bowlers taking 12 or 13 (or even more) wickets in a match - records page is toally wrong - still saying best bowling (match)9-59. I've had a spin bowler take 12+ wickets in an FC match three times in a season none of them go in the records....Same since ICC (the first game)
Partnership score continues - and even gets in the record books , even if the partnership pairing is altered by an injury i.e one of the batsmen gets replaced - but a wicket doesn't fall, and the partnership keeps going up...Same since ICC 200 (at least)
Photo's gone (even add your own - that's really bad. Can't even have my Flyford XI in the game)
Centrally contracted player choices (CPU only - why?) are for the most part just bizzare - insisting on contracting the same rubbish players year after year. (Anderson is averaging nearly 50 as a bowler in tests at 2011 - and the CPU keeps contracting him ARRGGHH)
Scoring (essp 6's) is back in the 1970's with twenty20 games looking to average about 1 or 2 sixes a game (even in perfect or near perfect pitch conditions on small grounds with the likes of Blackwell, Wright, Hick etc making hunderds - all with no 6's - at Taunton, New Road etc.... would never happen)
Graphics aside - It's ICC2000 with no added gameplay and some pretty big nerfs.
Not being deliberatley obtuse - but I prefer the old graphics, The shots look like they are played by batsmen with lego arms that are joined by a harness wrapped around their head - the fact they look nothing like the players they are supposed to represent is now too obvious. Too many bald 22 year olds.
After all that - I still quite like the game. But the competition (IMHO) has for the first time for ten years - finally surpassed this one (in terms of gameplay at least).
Mind you - looks better than the flipping awful BLC game for PSP which really does look poor in the vid.in amazing "skip-a-frame-or-two-o-vision"
Scritty
Obviously, in real life, there is no strike retention logic when nearly 2 a ball is needed and it ruined an exciting match
