I guess It's the best way to show the game to the world

I'd be surprised if they were showing the game there, I doubt it.

Sorry all, going to be out of touch over the next few days as I am at the Games Developer Conference in San Francisco.

Have a good time.

So Ashes 2013 only has 2 team licenses? Surely that means Some will appear in Big Ant's game?

Well the two that AC2013 have are the two that are most valuable for the main market for the games, I can't see them getting individual team licences for any countries if they don't have Australia and England.

That doesn't mean it is totally unlicensed. The most recent situation where there were two competing games - the 2007 releases - Cricket 07 had cricket board licences for Australia, NZ, South Africa and England; BLIC 07 had the World Cup 2007 and Champions Trophy 2006 licences - meaning that in the WC/CT game modes the teams involved were fully licensed but outside everything was generic.

There's a Champions Trophy coming up...

I am having a gut feeling that it has Champions trophy license and prolly will release at the same time.

EA acquired licences for 12 teams for the cancelled 09 release. Im wondering how long before it expired?

I can't answer except to point out that Cricket Power was ICC licensed in 2011 and they are exclusive.

But EA didn't have an ICC licence, they had the individual boards' licences.

No.

Ignoring our other sources on the matter, one of our hints towards the game's existence was classification as 'EA SPORTS ICC Cricket 09' - which will show up on a bunch of retailers.

I wonder why it was cancelled!Did it even start!

It came up on EA's site and then removed. Harsha Bhogle confirmed the news by tweeting on the topic. Saying how he felt bad when he heard about the cancellation after all his recording for commentary.

I read some where a few years ago that Hbstudios
Where making the ea 09 cricket game , and it was ready to go till it was canned
by Ea !

 

[Allrounder18]

No harm in releasing it now.

 

[SibiNaayagam]

Yeah HB Studios were the developer. And my apologies on saying it didnt have an ICC licence, it did seem to have.
