Review Retail Version Impressions Thread

just like 2 say brilliant job codies best cricket game yet by a mile got it about 10 this morning and decided to play an ODI before i get into the ashes lost the toss and was sent into the field started of well but then got smashed around the park south africa ended up being 280 all out from 35 or so overs they would have had a far more realistic run rate but i didnt realise till the 25 over that yellow is the best place to bowl i restricted them to about 5 runs an over after i realised that. i then got bowled over for about 80 runs my sexcuse is that i hadnt played the demo before so this was my first time then after deciding i needed batting practise i decided to play a test match against india i lost the toss but they put me into bat atm im on 5/54 of 17 overs and would be doing alot better but iv been run out 3 times due to the fact i keep pressing the dive button instead of the return to crease button the realism in the game is so good i had ponting cover driving the indians and when he hit about 2-3 cover drives in the space of two overs the indians put 4 men stopping the boundries silly me i tried to play a cover drive through the gap and played to ball to early and got caught the AI was brilliant another thing i noticed was it is alot easier to play spinners when you have a set batsmen i have phillip hughes in the crease who has 20 of about 40 balls and is playing the spinners quite comftably on the other hand i had north who i was triying to get singles but because he was new to the crease he scooped one up in the air another thing is alot of the slip catches are dropping short but its because of the slow and low pitch im playing on because when i was playing the south africans in an ODI i was playing them at the MCG and the edges were carriying quite easily im playing on hard mode right now. its great how you have to keep your concentration in this game.
Hehe, lol.

Anyway Covvy shops in Hobart have AC09, what are you talking about?

First impressions

Overall im impressed, i got the ps3 version and possibly change over to pc version once i see if its good or not on ps3 without editing (doubting) however, what the hell is with england (computer) scoring at 12 an over in a game that designed for test matches ??? very suss, obviously only first day playing but to score that fast when im eitehr bowling on a length or yorkers... weird
 
Go to EB mate and get them to price match it.

That casino is actually run by Brett Geeves peddling a bike which generates electricity.
 
^how can they lie this boldly. I can't believe people in responsible position can utter rubbish that effects million of people around the world.
 
Well not at Jb Hi-Fi. I'm not gonna pay an extra $20 for it.

Dude shops are open till 9. (Well i dont know about Hobart). Just go to EB and they will price match. (unless its a gay EB like mine who said i have to bring in a JB-Hifi catalog with me)
 
Aren't shops open late until 9 on Thursday and Friday Covvy?

The gas really hasn't been very positive about this game. He's pretty much whinging non-stop about the bowler speeds yet on the PC version there will be inevitably an editor released allowing us to fix them up.

An editor would also fix the inabiliy to put a created player into the Ashes.
 
Probably just more lies.
I'm sure I saw them do that during the playtest. At worst you'll need to recreate the players in the Australian/English teams, which I'm fairly sure is possible in the built in player editor.
