ICC III hands on/first impression

[skill1414]

found a glitch, I got bowled on a no ball but it showed the batsman walking as if he was out.

 

[Gilly Fan]

He he. I can't stop with these animations!

Like the ball that got KP out in the 05 Ashes. Anyone remember it?

 

[mattfb]

ah yes that was a great ball. This looks so good its downloading now!!!

 

[Xuzuno]

It's a good game. I was playing against England and lost by 1 run!

 

[apesnani]

the animations are starting to annoy me a little bit now , I wish there was some way of adjusting the camera angle ,looks too zoomed in , and things go really fast

 

[mattfb]

This version is definately going to take some getting used to

I originally liked the animations but I've now realised that there aren't actually THAT many. I've seen a late cut and the rest have just been drives to various areas. What about pulls, hooks, sweeps, cuts, advances, glances?

 

[Gilly Fan]

I've seen the sweep and the pull shot.

Nearly no sixes at all. Only hit 1 and that was a top edge.
And games take forever! I used to be able to hold down the enter, and it would skip through the overs. Now you have to press enter after every over.

You have a slowish net. Mine only took 20 mins.

for me graphics are not comming i think because of 3Dcard I Dont Have

 

[Gilly Fan]

Anyone want a net game?

At the end of my first day in the game, against Yorkshire as Surrey, I am 293/1! The animations feel really good and the game overall feels fresh and new unlike the old editions.

The umpire signals both byes and leg byes at the same time though, when he should be doing one or the other, and the Hawkeye goes all over the place before deciding where to track the ball!

TBH, I kinda prefer the original graphics. Much more simple.

I don't like how the stats are from early January because Hayden's average is 39 there and his average now is basically 44. I would've prefered the stats just AFTER the World-Cup as it would've been perfect as an Australian to start on the future aswell.

The setup for the game screen isn't great either, I mean how you decide what length to bowl. The previous verison was more simple.

The graphics for the main screen where you can check the stats, etc, have taken a step down aswell.

I like how you can choose which country you can captain whilst maintaining a county though.

I like how there is like an entire youth squad where you can draft at the start of a season.

I hit 3 or 5 sixes in this game, though.

That's because it's a brand new edition. You've been put out of your comfort zone by it. You'll get used to it.

I saw one screenshot in a website and some Surrey players in ICC06 ( C.Murtagh, T.Murtagh, A.Mahmood ) are in Middlesex team ...Hope the rest of the Surrey players are in Surrey only ...(In fact I am playing as Surrey in Icc06).
