the Game has arrived.

I'm working on the assumption that Legacy Mode is simply an option to use a pitchmarker and stupidly simple controls. Hopefully well hidden and requiring a lot of time playing it correctly before it's unlocked.

I hope it's something much different, like having a post-career 'legacy' - but I doubt it.

I see what you did there

Its a command line style text adventure yet in the 1910s.

You are facing up to SF Barnes. The ball leaves his hand and looks like a good length ball on off stump. What do you do?

I think that's what it is too. May not even be named that in the game, but Ross's nickname for it.

It definitely appeared as "legacy mode" in the menu; the only reason that we know about it was they guy who decided that with his leaked copy of the game he'd just show off the menus and cricket academy...

HA. When we were working on Lara 05, one of the team actually did code a text-based adventure cricket game.

It went something like "Look North" > A ball is coming towards you very fast. And then you could only hit it North, East or West.

It was not included in the released game.

Was it ever confirmed that was genuine? I thought it was a hoax?

You should have included that; even if just because a cricket text adventure is the dumbest thing ever so it would have been very funny if done right.

The way I looked at it; the guy went onto the Academy and downloaded players that people on the forums had made; so it'd have to have been a pretty impressive hoax to be fake. If it was; then he's someone who'd be pretty sought after in some industries...

I'm pretty certain that was legit

My suspicion, and it is just a suspicion, is that he's already in the games industry...

Ross' posts regarding the matter sounded like it was a BA employee, or something like that.

@Chief as Big Ant mole confirmed!

Ahh. That's what I assumed: just didn't know if it had ever been confirmed.

What photo are you guys talking about?

Ahh. That's what I assumed: just didn't know if it had ever been confirmed.

These posts make it seem like one, though it was never confirmed.
