Just a quick announcement - the new video is running late, so wont be released until late tomorrow (with luck)...realised there was a big bug with the field radar which i now have to fix...so looks like it will end up more EA style after all lol...<sigh>

Couldn't you just get the radar to read in the position and shape of the fielding rope and then generate the radar shape and size based on that?

will the australian retirees still be in the game

 

[manee]

Pretty sure Warne and Mcgrath will be in.

yeah, it's a little more complicated, but i'll have it sorted within an hour or so...will be able to update dynamically too...

Pretty sure Warne and Mcgrath will be in.

of course, but bear in mind that it is extremely easy to add them in anyway

Excellent video, hard to explain but it looks like the ball comes on to the bat, which is good?

 

[Will_NA]

yes, absolutely... From the moment the bowler starts his runup to the moment the ball reaches the batsman (including AFTER the ball leaves the bowler's hand) you can move left, right, forward and back. I was considering allowing the batsman to be slightly rotated left and right too which would allow full spectrum of movement but i think that may be overkill and overcomplicate the batting.

That annoys me so much in EA how you cant move after a certain stage in the bowler's runup...the whole point of movement is to get into a good position for the ball that's going to be bowled. If you dont even know what the ball is going to do then how can you prepare by guessing in advance?

One question will the ratings of a player advance when he scores a century?

 

[Will_NA]

what is the update on the commentators. have they been chosen yet or started recording?
