Well for one, it is. If you approach the game thinking, "I'm going to smash every ball", then no amount of AI can stop you from doing that. Once you've learnt all the AI tricks and are able to hit the buttons in time, you will no doubt score really quickly.Instead, they said that it was our fault for not playing realistically or not playing the game how it should be played
If you play the game in an unrealistic way, how can it not make unrealistic results?
Yes, there's a lot you can do to try and minimise this, but people will keep finding the places where they can exploit a bug or score easy runs, and there's only so much a developer can account for.
It is the developer's fault when the game is too easily understood, and too scripted in its possibilities, and there's often reason to be annoyed about it. But there is a difference between the game being too easy, and issues in a game created by creating situations which are un-cricketing and expecting a perfect AI reaction.
Hopefully AC09 has made them go back and look at areas where the AI was too easy, but they are in my view right when they suggest that there's some element of blame on the person playing, it doesn't remove their need to improve things, but it certainly explains why there are some who just won't ever find a cricket game good enough for them.
If you find IC010 too easy, just play drunk.
