If Codies/EA ever visit this forum, I'd imagine to see a whole raft of features nicked from this game!
Things That are present in EA that are NOT present in TAOC / Codies cricket series :-
1.) First Up, Plain And Simple - Realistic gameplay !!
2.) Realistic physics. The cricket ball will move realistically.
3.) Stat-Tracking.
4.) View replays of your favourite moments!
5.) Awesome batting includes many different strokes on the front and back foot.
6.) It is the first game to pioneer a stamina system for batsman which recreates the fatigue which is part of a long innings.
7.) dew factor For ODIs in the subcontinent. That is, it would favour the side batting second under lights.
8.) players like tendulkar / symonds can bowl medium pace, offspin etc.
so if we select part-time bowlers, there would be an option to choose whether we want to bowl leg / off / medium etc.....
9.) McGrath would bowl 80% of his deliveries in the similar area becuase he is very consistant with his bowling. where as brett lee would bowl 65% on the proper line.
10.) There Would be tentative pushes by the AI which will result in more edges
and a bowler like mcgrath can take advantage of his seaming ability.
11.) We would be able to select any headgear (cap,helmet etc) in between overs from
the menu.
12.) Player likenesses. Witness the Tall & skinny Mcgrath bowling to the Short & chubby Tendulkar.
13.) totally free cam can be used to select any default camera angle view and also in replays, no restrictions to angle or zoom.
14.) You can choose the people that will umpire your match from the official ICC panel.(will be available via patch)
15.) Dynamic weather conditions and lighting effects. It may begin to rain and it will get darker throughout a day!
And not like TAOC where the rain continues throughout the day
16.) Duckworth Lewis system
