My Thoughts After Two Overs...

[Hooper]

Well Lets See...

I'am playing a Test Match Eng Vs. Aus (Me Aus), and Straight away Iam blown away!!! With disappointment! The kits look like they are out of the 1970's (so tight), the sounds off the bat and into the rope are horrible (big wood clunks) and the bowling animations are pretty slow? I'm bowling first and they AI have played pretty good for 2 overs so far, A beautiful cover drive for 4 from Strauss 3rd Ball! And then on my 5th ball I have bowled a slower ball and got an edge!!! Can you believe it! An edge from a top order batsman (Better then EA already) But I dropped it, because that meter is damn fast!!! And I've beaten the bat from Strauss from McGrath's first ball and the Fourth! OMG, another edge! Straight to 3rd Slip, but dropped . Man what a start! Who said this game was crap! I love it already, the AI is only 0-6 after 2 overs, which is good, better than EA (0-29 off 212 overs), and the game looks so much fresher. But the batsman's helmets? They look like Ice-cream buckets lol. And the Keeper acts like a twit on the game aswel lol.

And the BLIC Song isn't bad either lol, Pretty catchy!

50-50 So far, Its playable...

Ps2 version as well? I wonder how different to the pc version is it....

 

[Hooper]

Well the AI isn't as aggressive as all you PC users have been claiming! In ODIs I go for about 5-6 runs an over - which is awesome! But for Tests its the same, so not very realistic

 

[formula1man]

the song is going to really annoy you and just give it 5 more overs and the score will be 5/10 so thats were my changes to my gameplay come in

 

[Hooper]

But is that in Test Matches or ODI's?

Yeah the song is annoying already

 

[formula1man]

test
odi are a little better conserving there wicket foe some reason

 

[dullahman]

i agree with formula1man about da song..i turned it off. I was actually gonna ask if theres a way u cud put more songs or other songs..bt its nt worth it

 

[Hooper]

I think it is worth it now lol. That tune is terrible now!

WHat are the lyrics to that song? But I feel good? But I feel high? THats what is sounds like!

What level are you playing on? Also you may feel the urge to autoplay 20 overs orso just to get the ball worn however the autoplay feature only allows an innings to be autoplayed or an over. They probably did this to hide the fact teams are all out after 20 overs so they give you false hope by allowing you to think they will bat for 50 overs!

 

[Hooper]

Haha! Nice point on that Autoplay thing Khan!

I played it for the first time last night. First things are whats wrong with that stupid camera angle!!! it's all over the place, then the wicket keepers taking the bails off at EVERY opportunity. The theres the catching.

I think the game itself is a slight improvement on last time but those things above let it down badly.

Must try harder codies

They are the lyrics.

The song is called "But I feel Good", its by Groove Armada.

 

[Mars Maximus]

I love the song

 

[Chimp132]

what field are you using or what field have you made to restrict the batsman to ok scoring in a test match ?

 

[khan31]

Cheers Kev. Thought they were but I wasn't sure. Wheres the rest of that song? It has many more verses!

This game has been a great disappointment but I guess we have no choice but to not play it. Even if it was patched it wouldn't be great as we can only patch it to an extent.
