Ashes Cricket 2009 FAQ

[shawnymike88]

In terms of the Wii version coming out, do Wii games have region coding on them? Because I'd love to be able to grab a copy when this comes out, granted I'll be able to play it here in the US in "Region 1" for DVD's.

i dont think they will release ntsc version, but u can play imported games on wii by modding it.I think Ps3 did it best by making games region free so pirates cant get excuse for modding.

i saw the ricky pointing interview and i was focusing on the game in the background. i see they have improved bowling actions. my question, (really stupid but interesting to me) is it always the same type of leave. in brian lara 2007 leaving the ball was the same every time. is there different types of leaves?

Knowing our luck, there'll be different types of leaves on the trees but exactly the same type of leave in game...

What about the ponting "leave", misses the cover drive and then pretends to leave it lol

I'm not sure this questions been answered but...

Is the PS3 region free? Since I am in Canada, will this game work on my PS3 if i decide to buy it from England/Australia?

yes, i live in USA and i just ordered from a UK site, just hope it will get here by release day and not a week or so after

Not again........

Why don't they license everything? It's really annoying.

You do realise how hard it is to licence players?

You have to get players themselves to agree, their cricket boards on top of that then theres making sure that the correct cricket equipment is used etc.

The price BCCI would offer for Indian License would be more than double the total production cost of the game. So it is next to impossible for someone to get License from the greedy BCCI.

P.S: I think BCCI is already in the gaming buisness but have not announced it. Here is my reason:

Trine Cricket a mumbai based company is makig a next gen cricket game. Graphics looks out of the world to start with. During screenshots we saw that all the kits were licensed and indian players also look like real life counterparts. So the question arises how come a small company from India afford licenses of all test playing nations which EA and codies were unable to manage?? Well i ould have said EA is supporting them but EA has denied any cricket game in pipeline. So there is only one body which can buy them licenses. That is BCCI.

FIFA rakes in the cash, cricket doesn't. Low budget.

I care about them, they're part of the cricket.

You give Fifa as an example, I don't really care about PAOK in Greece, but I kinda hope EA have the names right, and the kits correct, and have the players somewhat similar to their counterparts in real-life.

 

[Eon]

They even have the low grade aussie players right in fifa... and the A league is pretty poor lol. even stuff as small as DOB's for players, even small name players like my mates cousin, he plays for the roar and is generally on the bench

There is a point. If BCCI is really behind this game that will increase Game's fame 10 times more than what it is now
