Review Retail Version Impressions Thread

[kulch]

38 pages and only a few posts about concerns

so basically 35 pages of story telling, and match reports

I?d say it?s a success

Any information about the customization option? Can we actually put created players onto the International teams this time?

So far this game looks good. I am not too worried about AI because i always play online matches on my xbox. I wish someone can start a tournament after this game is realeased on xbox360. Or is there already one and i dont know about?
its a shame i wont be able to play before 13th Aug. :doh

ok im fairly certain there is no third umpire 'screen'. also the replay takes ages with the run out being rewound about 10 times lol

lazy_chesnut has replied as below after playtest

How does the 3rd umpire replay look.is it the same weird system from BLIC07?
Looks good. miles better than 2007. actually some suspense this time around

Wonder why they removed it from full game?

There was never a screen. It is just in BLIC07 the replay began with the commentators saying 'Out!', whereas in AC09 you get the replay and then the decision.

7 am there, I bet most of the guys who had the game were up playing till 2am. These lads are not waking up any time soon

Would anyone be able to post a full list of stadiums that made it into the game.

I look forward to that review.

I mentioned this in another thread, but would a potential solution for the runout bug be to use manual fielding? You could just hold onto the ball for a few seconds before returning it to the keeper or bowler, allowing the batsmen to get back.

Seriously... is this possible?

in the demo if you do not choose an end, the fielder automatically picks one and throws it in. I have tried throwing to the furthest end, that seems to work sometimes but you still end up with situations like this (demo)

Thanks for replying.... that is indeed a very sad scorecard

Yep, very sad,....one more runout and it would have been a full-house!

The AI pacing in Test matches is concerning me. And you can't even play Tests online, who has that sort of time?

Same question from me.Anyone here who have the game can you tell which player face is great means after you saw it you said wow.

The only other option is to generate bowling..
But then again you have a horrible bug in the runout playing in a co-op match.. Make sure you nobody gets runout as you will never know who will be walking off the ground..
