First of, I would like to say hello, I've just this minute signed up to the forums.

I think this game is a lot better than Ashes Cricket 2009, the graphics are better, the game play as been refined, all new camera angles, it's much, much better, but it still lacks something I find. It hasn't really got the "IT" factor that keeps you playing it so much. Don't get me wrong, I love the game, like I did last years, but their is nothing special about it.

The new third person camera angles are cool. I think the batting camera angle is really easy to get used to, where as the bowling on the other hand, is much harder to get used too. The angle is strange for a bowler, so to place the designated circle in the desired position is quite difficult at first.

I'm not really going to talk about Graphics for too long because it's not necessary. I just wanted too say that it is a massive improvement on last year. All the England and Australian faces are immaculate. I also find the texture of the grass a lot nicer too.

Game Modes are the only problems I find. You've got your International cups and stuff, but that's it. It's a shame EA are hogging the license, but can't be bothered to produce a game. I would have like to have seen a practice arena. As in like, indoor nets, To practice batting and bowling, and maybe a additional fielding practice.. maybe a slip cradle?

Online. Well, I've tried searching all day, and no one has the game it looks like. Although one dude I know has. So we had a game via Xbox Live. First impressions were very good. The gameplay was very smooth online and much better than Ashes Cricket 2009.

I honestly think this game is a lot better, but next year, I think it needs a bit more too it.

I hope you all enjoyed reading.
 
Since you just signed up I'll be gentle :)

There is already a thread for inital impressions of a game, this is not exactly a full blown review, you should have just posted in there.
