    PC Bugs noticed so far

    Most of the maidens I bowl are not counted towards the achievements the game sets. Just bowled 11 maidens in a test match and the game gave me credit for one of them. According to the game I haven't bowled the first 20 maidens of my career yet (Ii'm in the 4th year and according to my stats have...

    PC Bugs noticed so far

    Nothing game stopping but a few issues. {FIXED} Unable to start career mode on very high resolution displays - If you auto play aspects of a game (like the fielding) the message that tells you that you might lose XP for auto playing does not clear from the screen once it has jumped through to...

    Which ICC is the best?

    2002 for me as well. Adding user player photo's and the extra immersion that brings won it for me. Still playing it. My save is now about year 2390. It's also quick for simming. You can play through a test match over by over in about 3-4 minutes - and a one day game in under 2 minutes. Do a...

    Ashes Cricket 2013 announced

    When there was no money in cricket, everyone was making cricket games. EA, codemasters, Empire. Now cricket and cricketers are rolling in the stuff..no-one seems interested. I played the "Official IPL" game about a year ago. Not impressed at all, it looked and felt like a Java or Flash game...

    How are you doing in ICC? (any version)

    I'm in about 2120 now, and batsmen are still ruling the roost, for about 50 years spin bowlers were king. I could hardly find one pace bowler worth having, then for the past 30 yars pace bowlers is all I get. I can't even get one decent spinner from any side worht putting in the England side. I...

    ICC III - Bugs and Errors Thread

    I know I'm a bore when it comes to this..but check out OOTP Baseball 8 (or 2007) free trial. Not for the game ( i realise I may be the only dual cricket baseball fan in the flipping universe) but for the way it is done. A similar sport (well there are more similarities than with most other...

    ICC III - Bugs and Errors Thread

    Ever since the very first ICC game this has happened. If you are out or declare, and the 10 minute break between innings coincides with the end of the match..the game crashes. Don't fret..I've been reporting this bug for 10 years. I guess we just have to live with it. PC

    ICC III - Bugs and Errors Thread

    It'll be the England tour and the ODI though. Well done for beating them - I reckon it will happen in real life in a few weeks. PC

    ICC III - Bugs and Errors Thread

    I'm guessing that you took part in the Tri Nations tournament, made the final, and played through it - rather than "auto played" it ? (were you touring England last year as NZ ?) The game dates get cocked up if you do this, leaving either unfinished fixtures at season end, or missing...

    Most annoying retirement

    It was 88,000 when he retired for me - though it had been higher. However, that's the thing, become England manager, and keep him centrally contracted (by playing him - unlike other games you can't choose :noway) but when your dom team has a vital game , pull him and get him to play for them...

    International Cricket Captain III - Official PlanetCricket review

    I case where the old "IMO" comment would have been an idea, ICC is more or less the exact same game it was 10 years ago for me. Yes it's got 3D graphics - which I'm not at all keen on. Whereas the old 2D match view made sense of the shots played, a lot of the 3D action is just bizarre and...

    Most annoying retirement

    Lol - nice stats. Still over 50 FC hundreds less than Graeme Hick at the same age. In my game he retired after 2008, despite getting 6 FC hundreds in that year, and ending up with 143 in total. (And for Ramps fans, that's 40 more than he got as well - he retired int ha same year) All of...

    ICC III on PSP first thoughts

    It's really not very easy to take screenshots from a PSP. I have some software that does it for some apps, but really doesn't want to know about ICC III, can't be bothered to set PC up as screen capture devise with a Hauppage decoder and all that jazz just for screenshots. There are loads on...

    ICC III on PSP first thoughts

    I don't agree it is the best anymore. (it certainly was, for many years) But i do agree on where it fails, lets be fair, ...If ICC2006 was the sequel to the original ICC (missing out ICC2, ICC 2000, ICC 2002, Ashes and ICC 2005) I for one would still be pretty underwhelmed with the...

    ICC III on PSP first thoughts

    These are my first , and possibly last thoughts on the game. I'm just going to bullet point some stuff, and leave it at that. 1) Looks a lot like PC game 2) Plays in similar way to PC game (whether you think that's good or bad I'll leave up to you - i'm indifferent) 3) It seems bug...
