Release Date-August 7 ( New Trailer, July 16 )

[lazy_chesnut]

From the playtest I can confirm that loopy deliveries are in easy mode, but not in hard.

I think the idea is that it makes the batting easier but I don't really see that myself. Surely you can have the bowling at the same speed, but make the timing 'windows' narrower.

^Thats music to my ears. Who gives a damn about easy mode anyways?

Tbh, all the trailers from previous codie games are always really stupid. Things like ball hitting the top of the bat going for six, pitching outside off getting fully hooked things like that...I wouldn't worry about it too much.

not happy with it at all, bowling actions looks cartoonish, batting looks just like 07, hope atlest AI gameplay is batter then before.......

What you are seeing is just animations. The way in which the game plays doesn't have much of a bearing on what you see in a trailer. The people who make the trailer just pick shots that look exciting to the casual viewer.

You'll get a demo to try it out yourself so let's not go nuts on analysing a short trailer.

Finally Codies have updated their site with releasing date.

 

[Skater]

Well for me, the 'release' date is August 25th.

 

[FaWaD]

It looks like its releasing on the same day in Australia as well..
Codies website say 7th August..

 

[chaitanyaraghav]

If it is 7th August in UK then it must release a week later in India!!

This was a promotional trailer to attract casual audiences! Almost all the shots played were attacking ones!!

What do you want? The Sun video was the official trailer! And at least now they've confirmed the release date.

Has anyone else noticed that the clip of "STRAUSS" playing the cut shot is in fact Alistair Cook?
