Rumor has it that this game is basically AC09 with the beta patches plus roster updates and slight graphic tweaks
Well, you guys are really passionate about this. I like that, although I don't agree with slagging people off unnecessarily.
I think AC09 has something. If it is an update of that, and manages to clear up some of the obvious clangers (AI run outs, terrible appealing for absurd LBWs, unbelievable wktkeeper catches off spinners, poor batting graphics . . . . ), OK, I admit there is a lot of them, BUT it does have something of the feel of real cricket that was missing from previous attempts.
I too have bought every single game ever produced and been frustrated by stupid and unnecessary basic mistakes. I think they will never please all of us and we will have to continue live with disappointment in some aspect of every game.
What I do not understand is why they do not let a number of us, all of whom have HUGE experience of playing their games, playtest their efforts at every stage. That way they would get something really good and also minimize glitches and absurdities. Loads of us would do it for absolutely nothing, just to get a good game.
Anyway, my fingers will remain crossed for the next few months until I actually sit down and play the New One . . . . .
