ok, let's correct you on a number of your misconceptions shall we...
1 - The forum is not by the creators of Cricket 2004. That dubious honour goes to HB Studios. This part of the forum is about an independant cricket game development.
2 - FIFA 2004 is just as poor as Cricket 2004, if not more so.
3 - We
WISH Cricket used the Madden engine, it's fb! Unfortunately it uses a nasty engine called Renderware.
4 - There hasn't been (and after all this time you'd have to say there won't be) any patches for Cricket 2004, so it will be a long wait if that is what you are waiting for.
I really can't believe you thought this forum was about putting together the next EA game...
