Zim, I would be interested to know what your take is on this game, especially on the bowling side of things...how does it compare for you to Cricket 07 with your bowling patch in mind?
Bowling with HUD on I find quite boring as you can pitch it where you want without much thought
With no HUD it's quite fun as you are never 100% sure where you are going to bowl it, so good suspense until you release the ball
There are more bowling options in this game that C07 which I like
Like the reverse swing element with old ball that's not in C07
Like the free hits in this game
Like the fact there are between 2-4 light green spots to aim for in this game and sometimes hitting dark green and orange spots can lead to wickets
Don't like fact light green area for bouncers is not short enough.
Don't like in this game compared to C07 its near impossible to get leg byes and is impossible to get byes.
No situational AI in this game like C07 so CPU could be 120-7 wanting 10 to win off 10 overs and they will still play aggressive shots leading to chances
Default fields generally poor in both games
No super fast fielders in in-field in this game unlike C07 making it easier for batter to hit to the outfield
So overall much prefer this game. I would just like situational AI implemented, ability to alter default fields, plus when batting with no HUD on hard, the cursor to appear a couple of seconds earlier to give you a chance to play shots without guesswork
