We don't have any information on the release date at present. But as it's said before, release during early july should make sense.

I wouldn't read that as 'Ponting will do his funny look down then look up thing before he faces'. When he mentions walking out to bat, marking his guard, and stretching, he could just be talking about the old stock animations.

I'd rather have heard that they've matched Ponting's real life style of play to the game, such as being a good puller or a good straight-driver, rather than things he does in cut-scenes.

It would be great if they do include such attention to detail, but all that stuff is merely the icing on the cake. I'd much prefer that they put the attention to detail in the gameplay, and then maybe go into more cosmetic stuff in a future game; one step at a time, in other words?

Cricketgaming.net has conducted an interview with the Producer of Ashes Cricket 2009,Jamie Firth.The Interview is just so amazing and it has so many new updates about the game and he has included about IPL also.

Yes, a great segment on the IPL!

Could that site be any more similar to PC if it tried?

 

[Gurjot95]

IPL is not there but good to hear they may put for feature release. And there will be only 12 Int. Teams

I wonder how long it takes to type out an interview yourself really. : Isn't it amazing? Good attempt Hitterman, but that last question just gave it away. Game producers also have much better grammar. Better luck next time with the faking.

^ Let's not go down that road. I've read it and am perfectly satisfied it's genuine.

An interesting read, thank you for linking it.

 

[jeshuchelda]

I just think you guys should just stop blabbering about him.If you have some guts,you just Go and Ask jamie Firth and if he says yes then you guys should just stop blabbering about him.how about it?

@kshitiz:I think Hitty doesn't know faking at all because he didn't get in friendship with you.:P

If my post contains any offence just ignore it.I can't stand still when my friend is being abused.

 

[Gurjot95]

Yeah Hitty is doing great job for his site and we should appreciate him.

Yeah Hitty is doing great job for his site and we should appreciate him.

Firstly, like colin has pointed out, " Thank you for linking it! ". It was a good read.. basically the developers stand by the point - They have revamped the code and had given a new shape to it. Lets wait and see

Secondly, lets keep away from discussing about the other site here in this AC09 forums please. No matter how correct or wrong the content of that site is, it is just not the right place to discuss either about other forums or the efforts of forum creator here.

If you are so desperate in promoting the site, PC is always kind enough to do that here,

Forum for the Web - PlanetCricket Forums

Start a thread there and you write even an essay of appreciation about the efforts or content of that forum... no one is going to stop you. If people are interested, they will indeed visit that forum as well.

Lets keep the discussions about the game going please. Thank you.

I am not promoting any site I just said this because he takes interview and all were saying it's fake.

 

[MasterBlaster76]

Sounds pretty good overall, although I'm not sure about this:

Jamie Firth:Ashes Cricket 2009 allows you to play an authentic Ashes series at the official stadia, a test match, ODIs and twenty over games with 12 international sides. The IPL is not featured but it is something that we may look at for future titles.

Does that mean we will only be able to play Test series with England v Australia and only single tests for everyone else? I hope not.

 

[Gurjot95]

In addition, gamers will also be able to play Test matches, One Day Internationals, 20 over games and a series of challenge modes." The challenge modes are historical scenarios that can be played out with modern day cricketers.

First time there will also be challenges mode

Pretty sure historical challenges were in 2005 and 2007. Definitely one of them anyway.
