Your Questions For Codemasters....

[crick4life]

The last 11 posts in this forum absolutely has no relation to the topic There are people like myself who whould like to read stuff on the topic (questions for Codemasters is the topic by the way) and what I see is a debate on who is a better batsman . It's a healthy debate all right but has absolutely no relation to "Your questions to codemasters" unless you want Codemasters to confirm who thier choice is . Yet again hate to remind you guys but please stay on topic and take your debate to general cricket chat forum please.

why india's so called powering batting lineup fails every time in its own back yard. there should be well organized team management in the blc game.like 2004

Durrani1, your first comment was not really within the realm of the topic being discussed. Please restrict your general cricket talk to the "cricket chat" forum.

I have no clue whose stupid idea was it to arrange the career option in EA Cricket 2004 in such a way that we cannot have a foreign tour between India and Pakistan!! There is only an option of playing a "Subcontinent" tour with a team other than from that area of the world. I hope the BLC tournament/career/foreign tour mode would keep that in mind.
The other things that I would appreciate most in BLC would be a way to update the latest squads and stats via the internet automatically, maybe they can hook something up with cricinfo or something regarding that.
Also it would be good to have an inbuilt ability to take screenshots or even videos (like fraps) or atleast to be able to save replays.
Ofcourse, a multiplayer option with playing over the internet with another human would GREATLY improve the problem of the CPU AI being completely retarded.

Also, if the statistics engine in the game could be really detailed like in ICC or something, that would be nice. Not that I want a statistic-based game or a manager-type game, but it should be able to hold and continually update ALL stats in the players profile. For example if I play 10 games of whatever kind, I should be able to tell at the end what my average was, best partnership etc etc...

 

[Ritwik]

Good ideas shahid, especially the one regarding statistics. I don't think tracking many statistics is going to take a lot of work, although it might take a considerable amount of hard disk space.

 

[the twin]

With player ratings and such, I think there should be ratings for things like vs spin, like in cricket 2004, but these shoud remain hidden so the only info you can see is their career stats and a desciption of their playing style and weaknesses that have been previously exposed.

For example

Mark Richardson
Opening batsman
Gritty and determined
Best shot(s): cut, push
Slow between the wickets
Weaknesses: Susceptable to LBW

Very occasional left arm orthodox spin bowler
Doesen't turn ball much

Stats:View career stats for One-day, ODI, First class, test.
Ability to compare those stats with other players

Also If there is an Online Compatiable then there shuld be a tournament or Online Worldcup and also there shuld be Ranking suppsed if there is an Online in the game and i log it my username is vibs89 and othershave all kinf of username then there shuld be a tournament and i play better thrn evry1 so that means i am rank #1. So if there is an Online compatiable in BLIC they Shuld add RANKING . It would be cool

hi all,


My questions is will individual players class, ability, strenghts etc be a factor.

what i mean is i think a confidence meter should not just climb as such as a batsmen progess, but move up and down according to situation. ie a batsmen maybe comfortable against spin but not pace. and even the bowler should have a confidence bar also and that moves up and down and when it is low ie up against the top order it seems more difficult to bowl a yorker than it does to a tail ender. these confidence meter should adjust to a fall of a wicket, a fielding teams risers everyones a lot more sharper in the field, this should occur for a batsmen that get run out his partner's confidence drops. i'm sure there are many other factors we could include so that human element is part of the game.

another thing a top order batsmen could identify what ball is bowled like a quick message that flashers up like if it's slow ball, or a flipper. but the lower and middle order batsmen don't get those messages. thus a tail ender scoring big is rare which would replicate the real world well.

thats what i mean by individaul factor, the problem with all pervious cricket games is it was based around a numbers system, not current and individual situation.

you guys all have some great ideas with you but i really dunno how much of these gr8 thought will be implemented in the game itself
