If u go that way LM, I think Cricket 2005 was my last EA SPORTS cricket title. Absolutely Wonderful and really hope that the project will go to completion soon. :hpraise

Keep up the good work, and just a question is there going to be network play?
If whoever is making this new game is not innit for the money and is innit for better cricket games,
mayb wen Codemasters and EA release info and vids about their next game you could, make a poll as to which looks the best and if T.C.P wins mayb the million pound companies will get the message

i know its still early for this and all but id love to see career play where u start in club or domestic teams and then work ur way up to the national team and get selected for tests and world cups over a number of years ie not performing leads to being dropped from the national team. also aging should be a factor so that when u get older injuries are more frequent until eventually u cant play at the top level anymore. after that start again and try beat ur previous career stats eg international career runs or matches played.
and if it is released as freeware over the internet and u have dial up like me, im sure it'll be possible to use somthing like download accelerator and be able to pause the download when u offline and then resume later. not sure if this possible, i think it is.

Update!
well, time for an update...
I have completed the power bar system and have integrated it into the game as a proof of concept - so far it is applied to straight shots i.e. straight block, straight drive and straight loft. I had to spend an awful amount of time tweaking the physics values of the loft/6-hit to make it look and feel realistic and also to get the bounce right for when it lands...i'm quite happy with the results so far but there's still some tweaking i need to do...i also still need to adjust the camera for lofted shots so that you can get a good view of the ball as it sails through the air...i also fixed collision so it knows when a boundary is scored from a ground shot or from lofted (i.e. hits ground before going over the rope) AND recognizes when a 6 has been scored
This is probably a good time to explain briefly the power bar system and how it relates to batting:
- power bar determines 2 things - a) how powerful the shot is b) what kind of shot it is based on the direction that is being pressed.
- this sounds confusing, so let me explain - the power bar is divided into 3 coloured sections (roughly a 30 / 50 / 20 percentage split) - green, blue and red respectively that represent the type of shot being played. A little bar / line comes up as you hold down the button and depending on what zone it falls in, the type of shot wil differ. Here's an example to demonstrate....as the bowler comes in and releases the ball, i hold down the "Num2" key (+ the key that controls Front foot or Back foot) - the power bar meter goes up - if i let go while it is in the green zone then the resulting shot will be a straight block - the power of the block is based on how high into the green zone the power meter got ; if i let go while the power meter is in the blue zone, the resulting shot will be a straight drive, as powerful as the meter was far into the blue zone ; if i had let go while the bar was in the red then it would be a lofted shot - a chip over the infield if it's in the early part of the red zone and a fully fledged 6 hit if it's high into the red...
- power is also influenced by the following factors, so even if you get the power bar in exactly the same place twice in a row, the shot will be different : i) timing of the shot ii) wind resistance iii) a little random chaos iv) how well the bowler bowled the ball and the type of delivery (e.g. if the ball was spinning then this will influence the power and direction - particularly with lofted shots)
Hopefully this will be clearer when you see the next video, which I should (hopefully) complete tonight. Just got a few little things to tidy up first....I will then upload for Skateboarder to publish on the website.
I have also started a new thread in this forum for Suggestions / ideas for the game where people can post their ideas of things they would like to see in the game - i.e. like a wishlist....some things i will already have planned to be in there, but some if they are good ideas and feasible i will try to include, but i can't make any guarantees on that...maybe in future add-ons
Oh yeah, Network play will be included. This means peer2peer IP over the internet or LAN

i really appreciate the pains you're taking to explain everything you're doing, and the work done so far in itself. This is like anti-establishment stuff.
I have a couple of questions:
Does it require some skill to time the powerbar? I.e. does your timing determine how well you play the shot? Or is there another element to the game, like how you press the other buttons?
Can you position the batsman wherever you want, like move him left, right, up or down?
Also, could you elaborate a bit on the random chaos. I love the concept in theory though.
Great job dude, you've got everyone hooked already.
