Also more details have been released about the game.

New features:

- Updated database (obviously)
- World cup every four years starting in West Indies 2007.
- Twenty/20
- Bangladesh available as a Test team.
- New interface.
- Some new commentary.
- Kolpak ruling.
- England contracted players.

fixes from 2002 version:

- Improved player generation. Spinners will not dominate.
- Australian players available to counties.
- Foreign players will not disappear for whole season if touring

Network code is included but Empire havent decided if they will launch a server or not. Other people could however start their own server.

Q: Where's the internet-enabled multiplayer mode?
A: This feature has been delayed and will be realsesed shortly via a patch.

From the above site, so fingers crossed

cheers, looks quite good! Do you know whether it has network games, because it didn't look like it.

after playing i only have one main problem which is with the database which is only updated to before the tour of south africa so player records for test matches and odi's is out of date and its like that tour never happened so no stats of pietersen's odi's etc . Other than that it looks like a really good game with international 20/20 aswell.

A few database issues I've spotted so far.

Stuart Law is Australian, should be English.
Marcus North is down as a Kolpak player, he shouldn't be.
Scottish and Irish players in county cricket are English.
Ottis Gibson's nationality is Dutch, should be West Indian (Kolpak)
Amjad Khan's nationality is also Dutch, should be Danish.
Ryan ten Doschate's nationality is South African (Kolpak), should be Dutch.

It means you can download the trial version and from that after you have paid, unlock the full game from it. Saves going to the shop and buying it.

Good, nice for posting the faults aswell, hopefully they have time to change these, and the game will be great

 

[Andy Cullen]

Do you know if you can unlock the game already, or have to wait until its retail release?

 

[Ste]

I think you can unlock the game already, although I havent tried.

1 day is too less...30 days would have been nice.
