read the instruction manual, it'll tell you. But basically, whatever you bowl, you gotta hit the same button again before the white line in the bar that is filling up as you approach the crease.

I think thats irrelevant. I mean it's just a game so we don't have to make it completely like real life. And who knows, Murali might one day refine his doosra so it no longer makes a chucking action (maybe at the cost of spin)

I reckon Sachin out of all those. Excellent with the bat, and very capable with the ball. Not a bad choice I reckon.

I think you just gotta live with it, I mean byes don't occur as often as you say they do (not for me anyway) but they are certainly a problem. I think the it is possible to distract the wicket keeper though, for example if the bowler bowls a bouncer that is too high to hook, then if you leave...

Cool, new tutsi patch. The changes sounds great, really looking forward to using it. (at least the changes promised WILL be fulfilled, unlike the people at EA)

probably to make playing tests take a shorter time. Because if 1 over takes longer to bowl, then to us it would be the same as normal, which means that time would go by faster in a test match so he can get it over and done with quicker.

lol, cardboard cut out crowds. Some work they've done on it. I though that was what the form really was, like a morale thing. Too bad it doesn't work. EA should really get features working or just not put them there *sigh*

if you're going to that, I'd suggest having it as a separate patch (if you don't already do that) just so that people who don't want it can not have it (I know I wouldn't like it :p)

The straight drives are definately too weak IMO. I got no problems with the cover drive though.

lol, kinda forgot that problem :p

If I remember correctly, you can get an original one at cricket2004.co.uk Not sure though coz I haven't actually checked

Yes I agree, EA did do a shotty job at this game.

As you have all probably noticed when playing in some competition you get the form option. My question is, does form make any difference as to how the players perform in bowling or batting? Also, it's kinda strang because bowlers never seem to have their bars increase in length while batters...

Thanx for the site Duff. I have to agree though, it is fairly complicated. But I do think it's a very clever system though.

Thats a bummer. It'd be cool to have to bring the D/L system in. Be interesting to have to chase a big total in a short time like Australia did in the VB series against India. Anyway, a bit off topic but how does the D/L system work?
