The first cricket game I ever played on my PC was the original Brian Lara Cricket.
The graphics were naff, and the shot physics pretty shoddy, but I loved it.
One of the reasons being that there was an expansion pack available for it, on one floppy disk that had all of the players and teams from the English Counties and Sheffield Shield. It was also possible to change/update the players as needed, keeping the game feeling current.
I've read a lot of the threads in these forums, and I have to agree that the main flaw in the game is the dodgy A.I.
My question is: If Codemasters brought out an expansion pack, with Domestic Leagues for the test nations, an improved A.I. patch and the ability to change names and stats, thus allowing it to be personalised more, would you be willing to fork out some of your extra hard-earned cash for it?
I would! And seeing as how many units they've sold, it would make sense to expand on this game, rather than just relying on people buying the next edition in a year or so's time.
