Thanks for the quick response but I do have to wonder how they can re-confirm the release date with point 2 (platform approvals) still up in the air. That's cutting it too close in my book.

Hopefully with IPL wrapped up and Champions Trophy & Ashes round the corner, we should get plenty of information

As I said I can't make judgements on the game but impressed by Mike Fegan and his comments.

that doesnt sound too positive

I think what he is saying is he cannot make judgements on the game itself because he doesnt have that kind of information yet, as in not everything was shown.....

Let's give the game a chance before shooting it down, shall we? I mean what's the hurry... the game will be out soon and we can make an educated call then.

Ha ha! I remember Rubber Genius.....thanks for reminding me. I was trying to think of his name today.....from what I gather they are looking at the start of the CT in the Uk to use as a launching platform to get maximum publicity out of everyones attention being turned towards cricket in some way. I cant imagine them having an endless pot of money to use for advertising ecetera and they must feel that that is their best chance to galvanise support.

My interview with Mike covers a lot of this. I can't type it up till Monday so unless Matt has time you'll have to wait a bit longer.

hi, i have a question to ask you. so i have heard that you were shown the game being played? if im wrong then please correct me. if not, then could you please answer this simple question?
so i would like to know, when you saw the game being played, did u get a feeling (just from the looks of it) that you had seen this all before. or did u get a nostalgic feeling? or did u feel as if well this seems different, something i havnt seen before?
i know its hard to judge the gameplay since you have just seen and not played... but could you please answer this for me as to what feeling you got when u were watching the game being played and the looks of the game?

Didn't Matt recieve the audio? Why not post the audio then in text later?

Biggs, some excellent point. I do not know how a company can ignore social media like this for promotion. The types of person i believe would ignore such a powerful media tool is probably people with their old ways of thinking and refusing to catch up with time....or maybe just painfully lazy or retarded. Its the cheapest (free) way to promote once's game and every interesting thing you post gets viral in a matter of days. Guess who uses these social sites? The same people who the game developers expect will buy their games and yet this consumer base isn't even aware of this game mostly.

So this will be the scenario....the game will release....there will be low sales even if the game is good (word of mouth doesn't work anymore without hype behind it). They will end up not developing cricket for some years due to a huge loss and blame the small consumer base for it.

It's difficult for us to just post the audio (for reasons that would be obvious once you hear it).

I'll have something for everyone shortly.

So you want to judge the game based on how Colin "feels" after attending a short preview event regarding the game

Yes, tell us Colin how you really feel
