i dont care to use it but the attitude you guys have is ridiculous.
a considerable amount of users WANT to use it, and one should go by demand. you cant enforce your views on such a large number of people.
maybe youre expecting a freaking flawless piece of beauty in BLIC 2005, but others are a bit more realistic. one might get bored and want to get through a game, FOR WHATEVER REASON. whoever is whining about those wanting autoplay has no right to be telling them how to play a video game.
the reason why i would think anyone would use autoplay is in the middle of a long tour...want to get on to the test match and not play the tour game...
how do you expect to get through a 5 day test match is a single day or two days? thats what autoplay does. but it also adds that unrealistic nature to the game. Autoplay scores are mostly unrealistic! And it completely takes away the fun of playing a game! And if you really interested in playing short matches, play the twenty20 instead or play the classic matches. If you want to play test matches, save it whenever you want and then continue playing it at a later time. But of course, as you say, you have to bowl and bat all overs. But thats what a cricket game is for! When you get onto a cricket field, would you play or would you play to happen automatically? Thats realism man!
In my opinion, not including Autoplay is not at all a flaw by the BLIC team!
