What about Marcus Stresscothick Cricket Coach?

Making fun of mental health issues and depression. Good one...

 

[balkeet]

So its like fifa which has prominent players well modelled and almost exact looks while others are generic. So ross the players which you have licensed and created by fans in ca are more alike real players or you have nailed them better than us?

That's not cool, where did that happen?

 

[angad]

Batsman can be assigned one of the 4 roles in ca like aggresive, oppurtunistic etc.

Isnt that under the "A.I Mentality" though?? I wonder how much it impacts the human controller player!!

 

[sureshy24]

You obviously don't know the full story.

The first Cricket Coach PC game was called Marcus Trescothick's Cricket Coach. All of the players had licensed names (or unlicensed but they did it anyway).

The second game had no player licensing and the player names were "fake" so Brad Leep = Brett Lee, for example.

Marcus Trescothick became Mark Stresscothick (not 100% sure on Mark but it was definitely Stresscothick) and this was just after his illness was just announced.

No. Some of them are greats and headline titles of games gone by. They will emerge in time

However, they would not be a part of this game, right? Since Don Bradman is the only 'officially ' licensed player??

 

[sureshy24]

also can make player attributes to be closer to their real life counter parts in the game like sakin tenhulkar(Sachin tendulkar) right handed batman with similar attributes rather we are assigning attributes which some might not like.PLease dont keep them like Atkinson (the one which we saw in the earlier video)

My apologies then. I thought it was your joke.

No worries mate. It was actually a joke made by many people at the time, including English commentators (not in great taste). Rumour was that there was a big of a falling out between the Cricket Coach staff (Oli Norwell?) and Marcus, so this was a bit of revenge.

The best revenge had to be AFL Live 2004, made by some ---- company, where Joe Misiti (not a star Aussie Rules footballer but very good) was made to be an overweight, red-headed pig with horrible attributes. Rumours are that one of the programmers was bullied by him at school.

I have a feeling Ross has licenses for older players from the 90's 80's etc.. and Bradman's era.

I don't ever find depression much of a comedy element... ever.

Hello all, first time poster long time reader. Just thought I'd share an idea I have, whether its been discussed about I am not sure.

It would be great to play as the wicket keeper whilst fielding. The AI obviously bowling and you would control the keeper behind the stumps, using the catching controls for all balls played and missed, edges, stumpings, run outs, appeals etc.

Not sure how much work would be required to create something like this, but to me a playable wicket keeper could be pretty awesome to control in game. Maybe in a future edition of the game?

 

[barmyarmy]

I'm not sure. That might be in already. Ross or Mikey can confirm.
