Just saw both the videos. BLIC really looks way better now than what we had seen in the previous video, but in terms of graphics and the whole 3d feel to the game, I still think EA are ahead. I cant talk about the gameplay just by seeing the videos, as that can be understood only after having played the game. The player movements and animation in EA has improved from cricket 2004, but the ones in BLIC is better.
And as far as the names are concerned, I would be happier if Codies spent more on getting the permission of using correct names in all game modes rather than on licensed bats.
The commentary is EAC2005 is 100% same as Cricket 2004, which really sucks. By this I do not mean Maxwell and Benaud are bad commentators, but it really doesnt make sense to be using the exact same commentary files as in the previous games. I hope this is not the case and there are some new inputs.
I think the EA game is out first, so I am gonna buy first. It was good to see them using the latest kits for most teams.
