Sangam doesn't just "work" for Trine. He's the CEO.
There is a Trine thread somewhere with up to date news but the summary is they'll be releasing news soon hopefully October.

Nice work, Trine .

[sachin_rocks]

But why are they mentioning in thier site are they crack and mad???

 

[Hitterman]

This is from the official website. It's a RSS feed so it will only work with Firefox/IE.

Whenever EA adds any new product in their store, they release a news articles hence they released this. I have seen this game in store 2-3 weeks ago. I even remember the product code. Later on EA removed this game from the source but their published feeds was still existing.

It's sad to see when people don't mention the original source :sarcasm

* sigh *

And the EA Cricket game conspiracy continues. So what are we suppose to make of this?

So what are we suppose to make of this?

Peter Moore is a liar who said "such game doesn't exists":doh

That description sounds very unprofessionally written. However the feature list does stack up to the information we received about it last year.

As PC understands it, this game was for most purposes completed, but its release was cancelled. If you look at how Peter Moore changed his language regarding having nothing to announce to denying completely, you can probably see where along the timeline the decision to cancel came in.

EA made large cutbacks last year, so investing more money into releasing a game that as we understand it was PC only, with a Wii version was ruled out by someone from EA NZ, and it was certainly not a 'next-gen' (for want of a better word due to the stupid arguments that brings up) game.

You never know, this could be them testing the waters for releasing it unchanged with a 10 badge about this year's T20 WC.
