It depends on your opponents connection speed as much as yours, plus geographical distance. With Fifa (a game with a far larger player pool to start) you're less likely to be playing against people in India and Australia (or UK if you're in Oz yourself). Both countries telecommunications...

When speaking from a position of ignorance (i.e. not knowing everything that's going on) it's best to ask questions and make suggestions rather than throw around assumptions. Such as making assumptions that people "don't have any evidence"...

Just seen on Steam that the game is now being scheduled for release sometime in October. Pretty sure that it was still listed as the 18th September earlier today.

Really impressed by that trailer. Clearly it's an arcade style take on cricket, but if it's executed well then that's what counts. I'm personally always more interested in playing against human opponents than AIs so it's multiplayer focus is great from my perspective and, with the under-par...

Was he hosting? It's possible he set the weather to "overcast" and used a ground which is conducive to swing (i.e. Lords, Headingly or Auckland) - if you haven't used these settings before they may be quite different to what you're used too.

Firstly I think you meant to say "possible". Secondly, it's almost certainly not an issue with either of your connections; I get that error message when attempting to connect against certain people (or they connect to me), but those same people are able to play other opponents, while I have...

Not on my version of the game there isn't mate. Just lost my fourth game ever (third person to beat me) to Aeon very heavily. I played appallingly having not done so for ten days (plus it's gone 1AM here - playing really wasn't my best idea ever!), but I got unlucky with my draw of opponent as...

I've got no idea what you mean mate. Are you able to take a screenshot? You sure it's not somebodies username?

:( Seems to be one out of every three players I seem to get that error message with. On the plus side, I have had some good news today :) I can say no more.

Okay, it's up.

I've got a Twenty20 set up - there's one that's been there all night which I can't join.

I have to disagree with you mate, based upon my experience. I completed two fairly comprehensive wins against Shogun46 last night and he stuck through to the end. I'm also pretty sure that I'd played him before that without an issue.

I'd stay clear of "Mattridward" (or something similar to that) personally. After smacking him around 276/9 off my 20 he lost three wickets in the opening over and then the "connection dropped". I'm positive that he quit (people who've followed this thread hopefully know I usually give people...

Well played mate. You're only the second person to beat me (the_gas has twice) and one of the few to hit me for over 100. I was disappointed with my bowling tbh - I think forgetting to switch Hilfenhaus for Siddle for the first time in forever threw me more than it should have. You batted...

It is difficult to do against the AI due to their blocking tendencies - you're really only likely to do it on hard mode if they drag on or against the tailenders. If you knock a batsmen's confidence down (make him play and miss and hit him with bouncers) then that will also aid you as it...
