One thing it would be good to have is a leave where the batsman covers the stumps with his pads. You could use it against spinners when they're pitching the ball outside leg stump and its going on to hit the stumps, but you don't want to have to play a defensive shot, for example.

I apologise in advance in case these have already been mentioned as I haven't read the entire 110 pages of this thread, but:
-Having the IPL would be great
-Having commentators that correspond to their country eg. Hussain, Atherton, Gower in England and Benaud, Chappell, Lawry etc. in Australia
-I hear that it will be possible to edit bats and faces, but it would be awesome if as well as editing the 'pictures' on them we could use o.edit or another program to change the 3D model of them

Thanks

hmmm.....editing bats and faces will definitely be possible !
but i dont think we'll make the 3D stuff to be editable.
coz, slight misplacement of vertices here and there and the
whole thing can get really messy.....!!

we havent ruled it out completely though...!!
you'll get a final confirmation as the game nears completion..

cheers

thanks will it then be possible to edit commentary with well known commentators after release so its legal. Hows progress? Do you think there will be any ingame previews yet?

hiring a proffesional commentators takes too much money, people from this forum are going to commentate

Well as bats are all standard dimensions from the front, but have slightly different curves, edge thickness, profiles, etc., then would it be possible to have, say 4 or 5 different bat shapes for people to choose from.

For a talented chap like you I'm sure it would be quick to knock up a few varying bat shapes.

Obviously this might have implications with the texture mapping, but with careful placement of the mapping points (from texture to bat model) it could be done so that one texture fits all bat shapes.

Just an idea.

i mean like comments they said in real life and copying them into the game. E.g going onto youtube and recording what they said when shots were played etc. Someone did this with ICC 06 i think so instead of J Agnew when a 4 was hit it had Ravi Shastri commenting saying great shot.

this could bring up licensing issues!
maybe if possible release it as an addon!

 

[shubhrayu]

good idea release others commentary as an addon use commentaries from BLIC 07

Thanks - so to save time would it be a good idea to release the game with no commentary and then make an add on, to prevent people auditioning to be the commentator.

no thats a bad idea. most of the videos on youtube are bad quality, voice wont come good with all the noize from the background. and if u wanna do that u need genuine really good quality videos. i got about 40-60 of them, but that is no where enough.
