Finally, we get look at the gameplay, but it's in the form of a 6 seconds video on Vine. Something's better than nothing I guess. :)

My first impressions:

- Bowler's action and follow through are much different than previous games.
- Everything else seems so static and life less. The fielders are like statues, the bat lift, Oh My God, that bat lift is STILL the same as previous games. Very few batsmen keep their bat hanging in the air all through the bowler's run up.
- The stickers on the bat seem to have been fixed.
- The batsman gets dangerously close to the wickets for the full length delivery. At least he didn't play a hook shot on it. ( random observation ) :p

Its all static and suddenly the batsman animation starts abruptly. Looks mighty unreal. Hate that part.

It feels like the screenshots. The kind of early dev shot that should have been a sneak peek 6 months ago.

Maybe...just maybe it is the sneak peak that is being shown 6 months prior to release :p

It looks brutal. The batsman plays back to a ball pitching on leg stump and still plays it towards the covers.

Also what is wrong with the back-lift? The batsman is dead and still and seems to morph into position.

Not impressed at all with this. Such a shame as well.
