    opening spells

    I'll try getting more aggressive with them and see what happens. I've been trying to keep myself in check and rein in my more attacking instincts because in other cricket games in the past I get bored with test matches because I score too quickly. So far I have really enjoyed the pacing of the...

    opening spells

    I've just got around to starting my first test match, playing in an overseas tour, Wi in Aus. I am batting first and am in the 32nd over. The problem is, McGrath and Gillespie, who opened the bowling are still on! That's 16 overs unchanged each! I presume this bug is universal and nothing can be...

    No-balls

    I was wondering whether anyone else had this problem or if it's just my computer. It seems that in even numbered overs the power bar for the bowler is much less responsive, meaning after I press the button the bar doesn't stop immediately but continues for a fraction of a second. This makes it...

    not able to differentiate between slow and fast deliveries.

    I love the odd surprise slower balls that you can't detect as it adds realism. I enoy being occasionally surprised by computer tactics, as this is rare in games in my experience. It's the real slow ones you know are coming that are annoying to me.

    I can't get speed when bowling....help!

    I actually think the bowling is the easily most fun and enjoyable of any cricket game I have ever played apart from this. It doesn't become boring as it seems that good line and length is rewarded while inaccuracy is punished.

    My review of Brian Lara 05

    I think you need to think more about what shot to hit in BLIC. The main problem with all EA cricket games is that it's relatively easy just to master one shot and to play it against almost every ball. Having said that timing is easier in BLIC.

    I can't get speed when bowling....help!

    I agree. Only very occasionally do they bowl fast. At least half the balls delivered by fast bowlers are under 50 mph! That takes away a huge amount of realism in my opinion.

    I cant play the game, with my laptop

    I went into controls, then keyboard 1 and left-clicked each control. It told me to press a key to assign it to this control and so I pressed the key I wanted. It worked for me at any rate.

    I can't get speed when bowling....help!

    It is possible to bowl quickly but to do it consistently is very difficult. It would have made more sense to set a lower limit to the speed a bowler could bowl. For instance, if you're bowling with Harmison and completely mistime the meter the ball should come out in the high 70's instead of the...

    Cricket 2005 - Report Bugs Here

    I just downloaded the demo and the first thing I noticed was that EA had not fixed the problem of the game running at an insane speed on some laptops. Only this time turning up aa settings doesn't help. I just cannot believe that such a technical error had not been fixed. Funny how EA games are...
