haha black magic u just edited the overlay nothing is changed in the game tho and its will really hard to bat if you did have arrows so its pitches offstump swing in and u expect swing out gone nice idea tho i think it will be fine if u can make then show up or not

of course he just edited the overlay, why go into the games engine itself too delete a feature, when you can achieve the same desired result.. by removing it in the overlay.
 
I think there should be no movement before the ball is bowled. The EA way is you move up until and point then you cannot move. I think it would be better if you held a button down to move up, down, left or right, but you don't move until the bowler is about to release it.

Basically, holding the button doesn't move the person, rather, if you are holding a move button at a certain point, just before the ball is released, your batsman makes his move as part of the shot.

This would be more realistic as batsmen generally don't shuffle around during the run-up, but play shots where they step away to leg and hit through off (as an example) all in one motion.

The bowlers would then need a way to counteract that, so the bowler should be able to move the aim at this same point (using the same buttons). Again, holding the button just before release means that the pitch point is "nudged" a certain amount. So if you see the batsman about to step away to play, you could chase him with the ball, or bowl it too wide to hit, or bowl a little bit shorter.

This would make bowling better than the current "set pitch point, watch batsman hit shot", and the batting better than the current "look for pitch point, play shot". This would be better for creating exciting situations towards the end of ODI games.


let's face it, for any hardcore fan this would be fantastic to have in game.
 
I second that.

@EA, Codies: If these two guys manage to produce a cricket game that puts your so called 'professional' efforts to shame, then you may as well give up now!!!!

@LM, if your game lives up to its massive potential, then you really are a Legend and a Master! Can't wait to play it!!
 
Will the bats have their own stats? Or, if this is too detailed, perhaps bat "classes", where there is say a , "slog" class, "drive" class, and so on, each class having different strengths weaknesses and capabilities. Massive bats could only be wielded by strong players, etc.

That is not a bad idea. Maybe sub-continent bats could have a lower middle?

That would be a great feature but somehow I don't see it being implemented.

Bats have their own stats but i think it would have advantages and disadvantages such as ;
Gray Nicolls Viper Cricket Bat.

Attributes
Power 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Weight 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 (light to heavy)
Strokes 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Overall 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

I would like this for other equipment like pads, gloves and stuff( i know nothing about the Gray Nicolls Viper Cricket Bat this was more of an assesment of Gray Nicolls.
 
Hey LM, could you make it so that the fielders are alwaysmoving and walking in. In cricket 07 after they chucked the ball back to the bowler they would be as still as a tree. Could you have some movement that would be great.

And i really like what i saw on the march video, especailly the slog sweep. i still cant believe you got this far. good stuff.
 
will there be an option to turn off the bowling marker while batting just like in BLIC 2007

there probably will be an option, but i think its completly pointless, you will just keep missing ball after ball. if we just have some sort of different variation on the pitch point thing it will be good. eg. it comes up just before the ball is released
