Haven't played the full version yet but looking at the reviews and this thread i am very disappointed! : Anyways whenever i'll get the game i'll see for my self, graphics wise i think the game is dozens better than BLIC 2005.

Anyway stevie this occured on one of your earlier posts.......you cant save online? !

You can save online, but only ODI games from what Codemasters have said. Not actually tried it myself yet so maybe there is some hope, unless someone can confirm otherwise?

I still don't have the game but what about Chamipons trophy & WC 07?? is that not any fun

With how easy the batting is and how the AI keep getting themselves out, not really. I bowled Pakistan out in a WC game for 43 in about 6 overs, knocked them off in 3 without really having to try.

batting is too easy ??? Should we use only normal shots and aviod slogging to score realisticlly. Does normal shots and defensive shots works well ?

You can still score at 8-10 an over easily, as opposed to 15-20.

Here's what happened in my first test match last night:

I am currently 148-3 from 19 overs.
"Pietersen" 75* from 47
"Flintoff" 31* from 23

I've not really had to try hard for runs, just smashing the bad balls and working the rest for ones and twos.

I finished on 402 all out from 38 overs I think, with "Pietersen" making 147 from 70 odd balls and "Bell" 135 from 53. With Bell I ended up slogging when he was in with the tail. Don't know why I bothered slogging though, you've got every chance of hanging in there with the tail.

If I didn't have EA C2K07, I would buy this game but judging by these reviews, it still isn't aimed at real cricket fans

I couldn't save it online last night in an ODI game when I had to go, very disappointing, as I was doing well :

It isn't that but its just like why are they in there? They shouldn't be.

i think we can make batting harder by reducing the Ratings of the players.
