My guess is the team employed by Trickstar bit off more than they could chew!!
I remember Audiogenic's Graham Gooch Cricket which I beta tested, they had a hell of a time with the Amiga version release date was July 1991 appeared June 1993 and was still full of bugs it was only when they released Lara 96 that the game was sorted to a more playable version but by then the Amiga was coming to and end!!
Fegan I believe was involved with AC2009 & IC2010 million dollar question is... was it the same team that did AC2013 and the new technology did for them or a whole new team altogether? I guess we'll never know and I would be surprised if we ever saw another trickstar cricket game! One thing that does surprise me though is HB studios that did the EA series have been quiet for 6 years now, surely it's time for them to re-enter the arena!
For now though we should all get behind DBC14 and Ross should get the bloody thing out lol

Yea I agree if 505 had given this contract for Ashes to HB studios things could have been better.

Shock that Chief hasn't been here since the 22nd. He may not work for them anymore but he's still as bad as Fegan; they both led us right up the garden path.

Let's not undersell here...
I think our BBC correspondent MattW should contact them for a comment and he will get one for sure...
Correct me if i am wrong, he was the Lead programmer on AC13?
I wish them well and success, NOT the management.

I thought Ashes 09 was built by a different team? Trickster developed 2010 but already had the 09 build to work from.
If the reddit comments concerning Trickstar's previous incarnation Transmission and their reported practices are true it would explain an awful lot.
Shouldn't the programming staff have refused to allow the game to be presented in the state that it was?
That's not something they would have a say in. I'm pretty sure there are some existing posts from a while back on the TMG/Trickstar thing. We were aware that they had left a whole load of unpaid creditors and a bad taste in the mouth while reforming. I think Ross had posted about it too.
