New Q&A With Producer Jamie Firth

[pcfan123]

Most games release patches to fix bugs and gameplays after they get the input from the community. Atleast they are releasing a patch. There have been so many cricket games that have released and the publishers have dissappeared after that. So the games remained broken. I have pile of them if you want. Be thankful to these guys. They already have our money from the game but they still care

In a way I agree, but in a way I also feel that it is their duty to fix the game and not some great favor they are doing us.

If I ordered a steak at a restaurant and the it arrived at the table undercooked, I would expect the waiter to take it back to the kitchen and finish cooking it, probably would not thank him for that either. (Horrible analogy I know, but I just woke up)

As a chef I'd tell you to become a man and eat your steak blue.

Patching has many implications. Financial is a biggie, as is creating more problems by changing parts of the game. Time is also a factor.

In an ideal world, all games would either be released perfectly, or patched very quickly. Unfortunately the difference between the ideal world and the real world is a chasm, particularly in an industry which doesn't have a good record of being an accountants dream.

Hello planet cricket, this is my first post on your site. I dont no much about other games so i will only talk about ashes 2009 and future cricket games. I have been playing ashes for 5 weeks now and im good at the game. But i understand that ashes needs a good patch and i dont care if it takes till the end of the year. PS i have ashes on Ps3 and will go online in the near future.

Whats up with you lately man!? All I come across from you is insulting comments towards some people?

Surely you can attempt to be more polite?

People seem pretty polite to you. And of course I can probably now expect the same treatment but I don't care.

It has to be said.

If you spent as much time improving your attitude as you have done to your punctuation that would be great.

I wanted to reply to him too, but my comments wouldn't have been as positive and well-structured.

Jamershepp, if you continue to go about PlanetCricket in this vein, you'll not be here long. I've been here long enough to know what members like you come to, either become good members, or get banned and kicked out, either way, its fine with i'm sure all of us.

Lol:laugh:laugh:laugh:laugh I remember when I did that. It gets you nowhere. Talking trash on the internet does nothing. Face to face in real life is a different story.

Im really sorry if i have insulted peope its just the way i see it is as joking and people see it in adifferent manner i never insult people in my opinon i just joke around sorrry but thats the way i am and dutchad in future i woud like you to keep out of my business with other member you doing this would possibly make the argument bigger so keep out in future if you dont mind as it was nufin to do with you dont mean to be rude mate as i like chatting to you on here and i have respect for

Cant do that for licensing issues. That sounds like a lawsuit from the BCCI waiting to happen

What grounds would BCCI have to stand on? The devs didn't provide the real names, the players did! Just like they've enabled custom names offline. Besides I don't think BCCI would try to sue a videogame company, they're too busy doing other stuff to worry about that. Also it'll make them look bad so I don't think they'll do it.

I will also be making it my business if you're not careful. You can't expect people to take in a lighthearted way comments like slaphead whatever usage it may have amongst your friends and having a go at someone who is trying to help you isn't too smart either.
Please take the time to read back over your posts before submitting them and if you think it may come across badly then change it.
I'm not as nice as masterblaster76 or sureshot and I will be watching closely.

You might be right, however if I was a player and I had not given permission for my name to be used in a game (regardless of the game company putting it in , or allowing people to edit it and use online) I think that is cause for legal action.

Codemasters has a lot of money, so I would absolutly love to sue their pants off

You are probably right though, one question about your suggestion, whose name files would be used? the hosts? is it even possible to use both the host and the guests name files.

Either way, dont think it would ever happen, just holding thumbs for a cricket game with all licenses. (About time we got one)
