Review Retail Version Impressions Thread

I was quoting the other bloke who had a screenshot of his scorecard which had no run outs.

Which was the PS3 version. Now, it seems to me that more PC users are having runouts than PS3 users...

Playing the first test at Cardiff, I got put in and started well.

100/0 at lunch but then Marcus North came on and everything changed. He's bowled 7 overs for 7 and dismissed Strauss for 39 too.

Any advice on how to play against spin anyone ?

Is it best to be attacking or not ?

My god Sydney turns into a spinning nightmere! loosing the toss was a biiig mistake lol!

Find the gaps. Hit the bad balls. Defend the good ones. I find driving spinners to be very hard. I'm English, so I like to sweep!

Ditto! Cardiff turns aswell!

I have now gone back to scoring about 2-3 an over. Im just wandering do different batsman determine how fast you score?

When I was with batting with Sehwag and Gambhir, I was easily getting 4-5 runs an over now since Gambhir got out Dravid is in and Ive only managed to score 5 runs off 20 balls with him, Sehwag has slowed down too

He isn't bowling any bad balls, his pitch map has everything on a good length and he's spinning it quite a bit too !

Swept him for one four but have left virtually every drive ball he dishes up because I know I'll edge it. :crying

Rubbish; besides which, how do you know these bugs are not present in all versions? Also 'PC's are very hard to use?' Umm..no.
1. Make sure the game runs on your machine
2. Boot up (aka turning on the machine)
3. Put the disc in and install the game (pretty much an automated procedure)
4. PLAY!

If that's 'hard to use' to you, then your technical knowledge is around about the level of your grammar and spelling. 'Funner'?

Calm down smarty pants. I was meaning the controls mate. I've tried the PC Demo and I got bowled all out for around 100. If you dislike the game, keep your moaning to yourself and leave us to play the game

Well again the Sydney wicket has surely ended my hopes of a win!

Was looking like a comeback was on while the seamers were bowling!

But that was soon ended! North added a little bit of pride!!

Ok I think that I may have worked out bowling.

2nd Ashes test, I am England, end of the first day Aussies are 317 for 8. I bowled most of the day a tight line, that restricted runs, most overs I bowled straight bowls (3 or 4 an over) and the threw in odd cutter, inswinger or outswinger each over. That over the course of 90 over resulted in 3 edges, 1 LBW, 1 played onto stumps, 2 clean bowled, and the best for me Ponting trying to sweep Rashid top edged it to 3rd man!

This really is a weird game........

LOL if you feel the keyboard control to be tough, get a xbox360 controller for PC

I don't need one, I bought the game for the Xbox. Much Easier Now

I know it seems really weird.

But it atleast you got a Clean bowled and a lbw. Something that I am waiting for to happen

You seem to get out straight away after a batsmen gets a 100 lol

You never know just bowl with clarke, Hauritz and Katich and you might bowl them cheaply
