Wow - I've just spent the past few hours reading right through this thread and there seems to be a real positivity to this game which is fantastic. Some great reviews that provide a real insight to the game and so thanks to everyone who took the time to write up their first impressions of the game. Also thanks to the development team who seem to continually monitor the PC forums for feedback - a great sign of commitment to provide a quality game.
I've just looked up a few old posts I made a few years ago after the disappointment of BLIC 07 and it's great to see alot of those concerns now addressed in this game.
However I just have a few questions that I would be grateful if anyone can provide info on:-
1) Is there improved ball physics? i.e.- does the ball bobble and bounce across the outfield or does it stick to the grass like a magnet as in previous games?
2) Stats - For me the inclusion of various stats is a vital part of cricket Provision of Innings Stats and info - worm graph, spider diagrams, manhattans, run rates along with partnership breakdowns. Does anyone know what detail is included?
3) On the squad selection screen does it show info regarding career averages and stats, current form (last few scores) and can you filter it?
4) Did the developers mention if there is "Player form" in a series or tour i.e. batsman/bowler who had runs/wickets in previous match now have a higher starting point on the confidence metre in their next match?
5) Is there now improved On screen graphics during a game? i.e. does it automatically show a comparison of what the other teams score was at the same stage or show comparative manhattan or worm graph or show partnership breakdowns on screen when batsmen complete a stand of 50/100?
6) Is there a highlights package (PES style) at end of game of the main incidents whether key wickets or dropped catches etc??
I know a lot of the above are only minor features and the gameplay itself is the key but they would add a lot to the feel of the game
Thanks
