Hi Guys,
I really need help and guidance. I know by now a number of you have played the game in Oz or imported a version. I was bitterly disappointed with Rugby and need to know that Cricket will live up to the hype and that the changes are actually there.
BOWLING
1. Is the bowling different? Do you get rewarded for bowling a consistent line and length and is it suitably difficult to achieve this?
2. Do you get reverse swing later in the innings? Do you get more bounce with the new ball?
3. Does the pitch wear giving spinners a greater advantage in the latter stages of the match?
BATTING
1. Do both Human and CPU batsmen play and miss more?
2. Are there a greater number of edges - both inside and outside?
3. Can you position yourself in the crease throwing off a bowlers line and length and potentially leading to stumpings?
4. LBW!! This was a massive bug bear of mine from the first game. Are you still given out when the ball pitches outside leg? Are you still given out when the ball hits you outside off stump and you are playing a shot? And are there more LBW decisions given?
5. Does this confidence metre actually work or do you still average 8-10 runs per over in a Test Match?
FIELDING
1. Are there more bat pad catches?
2. Do the fielders still hurl it into the stumps while facing the wrong way?
3. Do fielders still hit the stumps all the time?
4. Does the Wicket Keeper have to leave the stumps to gather wild throws?
5. Are there super fielders?
EDITOR
1. Is the player editor rubbish?
2. Can you edit existing players?
I remember from 2002 that a lot of promises including the player editor were made and then not included in the final game because of time constraints. Any answers would be gratefull appreciated.
