[Aseem Ralhan]

1.which one is it going to be on PC Cd or on DVD rom.
2.what is the minimum system requirement.

 

[Asad_8300]

in Cricket 2005 will have same bugs and graphics as cricket 2004

well i think if you dont know how to make cricket game please dont make them.

cricket 2002 and 04 was basically not goods beacuse of thier graphics and the style of batting, bowling and fielding. it was like we were playing in 1944.

we today's batting and bowling. you got the technology why dont you make a good cricket. have a look at BLIC 2005 and learn something from there.

my questation is cricket 2005 will be same as cricket 2004 and will any patches will be online if there are BUGS in the GAME?

and last think hard and carefully before making a cricket and think what the audience is looking for in the game.

A small thing that makes a big difference

A yorker is the most difficult delivery to get a run of . When I can imagine Brett Lee running fast and bowling a yorker at 150 kmph ,but I certainly would not like to see his yorkers being hit out of the ground everytime he bowls one .

People who have played the game closely would know that in Cricket 2004 yorkers are always made into full tosses and hit out of the ground . Now that is not fair is it.

Cmon Andrew , we want to see some stumps being knocked out of the ground , we want to see the timber being disturbed , stumps broken at times . Now that's what will make things interesting . We don't want to see batsman dismissing yorkers for sixes three times an over or more .You've got a confidence meter for the batsmen , what about the bowlers , what about their confidence ??

Its not a QUESTION , its a suggestion and I think you should be able to acknowledge any suggestion considering you're going to face tough competition from Codemasters.

No use!

Hey guys... U ppl are forgetting something... about the last time...

First!: He (andrew) won't answer.. ok if he wishes to answer our questions / queries then,

Second!: He will just say lies .. lies about gameplay .. lies about everything.... ok if truth...

Third!: Then the things he tells us will not be implemented in the game because EA will release the game ahead of the schedule just to compete and be first in the market before Brian Lara International Cricket 2005

Fourth!: Bugs that were present in Cricket 2002 and promised by EA to remove those from the game existed in Cricket 2004...

Fifth!: Every answer we will get from Him will be very brief .. so brief that it won't satisfy our question!... hiding details from the user typical EA !

Guys if Gameplay doesn't changes in this game then you know.... same buggy ****ty crappy version of cricket by EA...

Screen shots look promising but just graphics and presentation .. no details whatsoever regarding the gameplay itself....;

So my first question:

"Will the gameplay be changed Andrew? and be honest about what u say!"

BLIC has already captured many hearts ... so u have a tight competition!

Hoping .. Just hoping that this message will not be ignored by Andrew as he always did with Cricket 2004!

Questions

I have some questions that I really hope Andrew Wilson will take his time over and answer to the most of his abilities.

1. I have read in the Press Release that the Twenty-Twenty Cup will feature in Cricket 2005. If this is true, will the full features of this competition be implemented, such as Free Hits after No Balls and other things?

2. I have read that the game will be released for Xbox too. Why was this not done with Cricket 2004?

I hope he answers these, as these are burning topics for me. :upray

 

[sohum]

When is this list being sent in btw?

 

[Ste]

When is this list being sent in btw?

When there is enough questions really. Proberbly soon as there has been lots already so if there is anymore questions, get them in quick!

 

[m_vaughan]

Why do Gamecube users never get EA cricket games released on our platform? If you can put the game to PS2, surely it can't be hard to convert and release it on the GC?

and if possible the Dreamcast as well. DC is still my fav console, and I still love playing on it.

 

[ralta]

My questions are:
1. Are the crowds gonna be cut form cardboard again?
2. Will the player motions be unrealistic like in 2004
3. Are there gonna be more faces, and gadgets like caps and arm bands
4. Are we going to see a flip of the coin.
5. will there be a man of the match award.
6. will player stats be updated during gameplay (after each match)
7. will there be a career mode?

 

[ravigoteti]

will there be more tournaments to play this time
will the stats be updated
will the bugs in 2004/02 be repeated
will the game play be more neutral (batsman/bowler and even fielder friendly)
will there be actual use of variations, like more swing for green pitch all through the match rather than the first few overs.
will there be more camera angles added

Hi Guys, Newly registered here, looks like you are all passionate about cricket games! Right, my questions would be:

Can some life be put into commentary and could what they say actually reflect what is happening in the game?(ie I've just won a game by an innings and 426 runs in cricket2004 and Benaud said it was a close match!)

Online gaming would increase sales, is this being implemented?

It would be great if a cpu v cpu game would be like watching a "real" game of cricket, do you think you have achieved this with cricket2005?

Any chance of crowd chants for various countries/teams?

Will there be more camera angles this time?

Will there be a manual appeal option?

Will you be catering for the cricket fan now as you have done for the football fan for many years?

Could you put pink panther in some of the crowd scenes?(drinking beer through his eye)

The Hog

[indiancricketer]

Are you gonna use updated Kits?

IS there online game play?
Is there more realism in the game than cricket2004
are you trying to fool us by making this a fixed up verison of cricket 2004?
is there gonna be More Tours like i.e pakistan's tour of india ?
is there gonna be more tournys like icc champions trophy... asia cup
Are there gonan be all the teams that play like, canada USA, UAE, Hong Kong(they played the Asia cup)?
