which game are all you guys gonna buy BLIC, cric 2005 or both bcoz evry1 else should follow so they get the game with the most patches availible

 

[indiancricketer]

i dont think people should follow they should buy WHATEVER they want

 

[jimbob]

you might aswell buy the game that has the most and best updates or you get bored to easily.

I'd imagine that more patches will be made for the game that is better so we've got no idea until they've both been released. Plus we don't know if it will be easy or hard to make patches for the two games.

RG mentioned on the Codemasters forums that the game would most likely be hard to edit (i.e. not having a very open file system) because that's what most Codemaster's games are like. His words (well, not exactly) not mine.

Cricket 2005 is very likely to be editable in terms of graphics, player stats and tournaments because Rugby 2005 was. I only said "likely to be" before all you lot tell me "how the hell could I know" and all that bollocks.

The Cricket 2005 graphics will most likely be in the same format as thr Rugby 2005 and FIFA files. I know a bit about most of the editors for this type of graphics format.

I'm going to guess that the cricket_pc.gob file will still be called exactly that, but will be a ".big" file in format - this is the same as Rugby 2005 and FIFA and there are plenty of extractors available for this file type.

If I'm wrong, we've got a whole lot of work up ahead...

Yeah codemasters are gonna encrypt the hell out of the file with Starforce I guess!

 

[sohum]

I think there is enough interest here to get whichever game you want and still have patches/edits for it.

 

[The Champ]

but doing the stuffs for EA will be as usual and our guys here in planetcricket will be very busy once they r realeased

even if they do didnt codemasters promise official patches and updates ?

Yeah but there is a limit to what they can update due to licenses and what not. Their updates are more likely to be based around the actual executable program, rather than the "auxillary" files used for kits etc.

If Cricket 2005 uses the Fifa file system,editing should be quite easy.

You have 16 zdata files,and 2 config files,which are very easy to edit(Atleast,I think they are )
