Real Truth of Cricket Games

[ankitnahar007]

Hi my name is Ankit & i played a lot of times Cricket 2002.

It is TRUE to say that the Cricket 2002 game:-
1. Has many bugs.
2. Less features.
3. Less Stadiums.
4. No Domestic teams.
5. Bad Artificial Intelligence.
6. Graphics quite OK. But player models were not to that standard.
7. Commentary was good hearing first time but worse hearing again and again and again and ................. I think you all got my point.
8. Very few cups and tournaments.
9. Cinematics were quite good as this was first time introduced in any Cricket game. But I like to have more in Cricket 2004 and much of them should be of Player's Expressions, thier nervouseness, thier delightness and also sometimes of thier dumbness on the field.
10. And what about the Wicket Keeper. He was So Exciting, So Brilliant, So Great, So So is enough now that was all lie about the keeper. As you all know.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

But I must forget about Cricket 2002 or any previous game and should come into today's time of technology and equipments that the game developers have.
We can expect so much from them and they can too deliver the game that we could have only dream of.
But there are few things which doesn't make our dream true :-
1. The technology that the game developers have are quite high enough which our computers won't be able to handle only. We will be need-
Pentium 10, GB's of RAM, Directx20.0, 1Gb Graphic Gard, etc.
to play these sort of games.
2. They can really make true to life players, stadiums, crowds and all the finest to finest detailsthat one can only dream of. But then again all this will be needing 4-5 CD's to fit in all the contents.
3. And the last but not the least thing is that the millions of dollars are spent to make these games. And the company steps back again and only be able to produce such games if the Cricket market would have been large enough to make them enough money to reinvest them in future series of the Cricket game.
As 85% of the people are unware of the Cricket.
Out of this 15% most of the people are from India and India has indeed a poor economy and many just can't afford to buy it.
Now you can yourself assume how much return would be the developers will be getting to produce another great game years after years. That's just impossible for them to invest much in Cricket games.

My Message here is that- :scratch:
YOU HAVE TO GO WITH THE CURRENT TECHNOLOGY THAT ALL COMPUTERS CAN STAND.

HOPE TO HEAR YOUR COMMENTS OR REPLIES ON THE ABOVE.

BYE FOR NOW...........

Apart from the Cricket market not being large enough thing u said, the other things r not true. Look at FIFA 2004 .... terrific player models, faces, animations, crowds, tournaments, stadiums, game modes etc etc and still neither does it need 4-5Cds nor does it need a very high end system to play on. And surely enough, if they can make these models for other games, they can do it for Cricket too without much trouble. I dont think there is any excuse for making the game with so many bugs which people playing the game have to edit and fix. Just my opinion though.

And we r not expecting 100% perfect gameplay and graphics .... but something acceptable and playable till the next improvement(hopefully) comes in should be good enough. I am not complaining about this game coz I feel its good enough other than the game crashing bugs. But EA could have easily done a lot better in the time frame they had, is what I feel.

the indian economy is bad? r u dumb..india is becoming a super power, thye have a great economy that is growing...The BCCI has the most money out of all the other cricket boards and there dollar isnt as strong as the uk pound....so please get your facts straight india have a fantastic growing economy and are on their way to becoming a super power

 

[ejaz]

There was no mention of the Indian economy in my post at least. The cricket games market is a not a big one in India coz not many people go and buy games becoz of the cost. At least I never used to buy games when i was in india ... it just didnt make sense to spend a thousand or 2 thousand rupees over a game ... that too ur parents' hard earned money.

And there is really no need to call people dumb for anything. Try to be a little polite ... (future admin)

Ankit is right.The economy of the people is bad.The people here purchase pirated games.VERY FEW purchase original.SO the company has a loss.

AND DO YOU MEAN to say that BCCI invests money for Cricket GAMES :

They do for Indian Cricket only.It has got nothing to do with Cricket games

I think EA should rid HB Studios of their cricket making jobs and do it themselves. THey made NBA and FIFA and other great games like that but not CRICKET and that is what might solve our problem!!!

Firstly, when you compare Cricket with the likes of FIFA and NBA. Notice this, FIFA has been and still is the main franchise of EA for more than 8 years(correct me if Im wrong). And this is just the second cricket game produced by HB, so you can accept some faults. See Fifa 2004 dtill isnt the best after all those years, then how can you expect cricket to reach the top in a little time (as compared to FIFA) while keeping in mind the developing teams. FIFA's developing team are probably more experienced then HB's.

Thje point is, HB will still require some time to develop a dream game. ou can see the amount of improvementthey have done. Probably the next cricket game will have all the things you need in a cricket game. But till then, this game is more than enough IMO to mess around with. And with all the talented guys here, you can make this game a h e l l of a lot better then what you see now.
