i was lucky enough to get the game today for xmas :D:D:D and trust me it makes cricket 2002 look like a 1959 ford escort beside a 2003 marinello :lol: .
this game is unreal!!!!
ive only played 3 games so far (all 20ov OD'S) and its a true pleasure to play! my first game i played and queensland vs victoria on easy difficulty, they batted first and made 6/144 from their 20 overs, bichel picked up 3 of my 6 wickets :) go son!, when i batted i tested out new batting confidence feature and to my shock it worked, i was 5/20, i settled down after that and just worked on a normal innings, i ended up losing, being 7/102 after my 20 overs. my second game i played as australia against canada and i carved them up, the computer batted first again and scored a mere 74 runs before they were dismissed :), i made the runs in no time being 1/76 after 11.4 overs. my third game i played as australia vs sri lanka and this time i batted first, scoring 6/132 off my 20 overs, sri lanka beat me and scored at a bit worrying pace... smashing my bowling attack from the park to be 3/135 off just 13.1 overs.
overall i rate this game 9/10 for fun! it is so much better than 2002! the animations look great, the batting is so much more lifelike and the bowling actually has affect, i bowled a guy in my first match leg stump outta the ground from a swinging delivery pitched well outside off! :).
the computer does score runs a little too easy occaisionally but it doesnt take away from the fun at all, also the replays are awesome, each replay gave me about 6 different angles. truelly this is a must have for any cricket fan, and to all the ppl that gave this game a hard time i think u have been very very harsh, i only saw one cpu run out in my entire 3 matches and only 2 byes, 1 went for 4 and the other was just a 1 run bye.

thanks ea sports and well done :)

also i got fraps for my computer so if anyone wants some screenshots just let me know and ill get to it, im off to have dinner now ill be on again a bit later :)

thank god a decent cricket game ! :thumbs:

yea the game has really good graphics especially the stadium details. Although the crowd does look like cardboard figures in those shooting fields!!lol!!

if you hover your move over the options it tells you what they are.
eg. I hovered over "bilinear" and it said: Bilinear Filtering: Bilinear texture blending .........
 
for the best graphics set it to this:
Resolution: 1024 X 768 - 32 bits
Refresh Rate (Hz): *****Im unsure*****
Video Screens: Yes
Shadows: On
Force LOD: high
Texture Filtering: trilinear
Pitch Detail: on

:D
