New C2005 Gameplay Video

[barmyarmy]

As has been said many times (by Colin mostly!), the person who did the video for us isn't even a cricket fan...

I'm thinking about adding that to the FAQ as well...

 

[Hero]

does that make any sense?

its too difficult to tell whether the ball is moving anyway. although it did seem to duck back in on the very first ball, but that doesnt matter cause this game is gonna be ****.
i for one will be boycotting EA Cricket 2005, whos with me?
and for all those seemingly simple minded people who say ohh im getting cricket 2005 because it has better graphics (they look like small soldiers, remember that movie) and they have correct names and kits should use this little thing called common sense and boycott it too.

Your statment is too biased.

They've improved on it by making them act like the middle of the bat

That's a good point. Watch how fast the ball comes off the pad - it fairly rockets towards the covers as though it was hit with the full face of the bat! EA have totally rushed this game.

Did you read anything of m_vaughan's post? I'm not the biggest EA Sports fan but I still realise it's a mistake by the person playing. As has been said many times (by Colin mostly!), the person who did the video for us isn't even a cricket fan...

Okay so that video was just a beta test of the game. We can expect another video from cricket2005.

Somebody moaned that the ball that was called wide should of been allowed as a delivery.I think if u watch carefully that it was a short pitched ball that went head high,correct me if im wrong but in 1 day matches that would be a wide wouldnt it?

BLIC/Ricky Ponting has a player editor and from Rubber Genius' description it is preety comprehensive, you will be able to change the players names, unfrotunately you wont be able to change call names.

 

[rohit3d2003]

i read so many quotes of different people. Whatever game comes out I and everybody knows everyone try both the games cuz we love cricket and it is the passion of cricket which makes us play the game whether it is good or bad

Somebody moaned that the ball that was called wide should of been allowed as a delivery.I think if u watch carefully that it was a short pitched ball that went head high,correct me if im wrong but in 1 day matches that would be a wide wouldnt it?

that is correct, i downloaded the video and played it slowly and saw that the ball was in fact above the shoulder of the batsman, which would correctly be called as a wide.

As for the first ball which the keeper missed completely...It was a yorker that bounced over the keeper's head. Can't blame the keeper for not collecting that delivery, but there is definately something wrong with how the ball bounced.


Overall, cricket 2005 does not look as bad as you guys say it is. Graphics are good, the bowlers (which i assume are CPU controlled) bowl a decent variety of deliveries.

I hate that the commentary is the same and that they haven't changed fielding positions and the ball physics. The thing that is going to make this game unbearable is the ball physics. If they fix it, then Cricket 2005 should be an enjoyable game.

It's going to be tough to edit the game though because, if its anything like Fifa 2005, they will be using the .big compression. We might be able to use the fifa technology such as the raptor series to import new graphics. It will be difficult to import new faces because that may require 3-d modeling of the heads using O-edit.

I don't know what to expect from BLIC from the editing standpoint, but I think the game will not be as enjoyable. As soon as the game comes out, we need to have a roster patch which fixes all of the names, I don't want to play as India with players such as SUCHAN TENDALAKER or REHOOOL DIRUAVAD. And also the graphics for BLIC are not nearly as good as Cricket 2005. Good gameplay is important for the longevity of the game, but graphics are what makes playing the game enjoyable (if the game has halfway-decent gameplay).



Oh yeah, any graphics patches that I make for the new games will be in my spare time, so don't expect too much from me (except maybe from end of july to end of august)

 

[Insomniac]

A complete do over.

How long has Cricket 2005 been made?

4 months at the most, maybe 5

Rugby 2005 was worked on about 2 months after Rugby 2004 came out. Thats how long they made Rugby 2005, and its pretty good

Also, about the copy of Cric 2005 that the guy who made the video got :

It is possible that the version he got was maybe from April/May, and decided to make the video now.



========================

In my opinion, PlanetCricket members should NOT buy Cricket 2005 from stores to boycott the game, and then buy the game (if u absolutly must) from countries like : Pakistan, Sri Lanka, India, Bangladesh, and those "type" of countries so no profit goes to EA, and then maybe, EA will sit down and think about this.

Who's with me say YAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Or buy the game from eBay.

Good to hear from you Vishal. EA will be shooting themselves in the foot once again if the format is simular to Fifa2005 or Rugby2005 but I don't know if BLIC will be easy to edit either.

 

[crick4life]

Trust EA to make it hard for patchers. They had different format for Cricket 2002, it took a while before we figured out how to AI patch. Then came Cricket 2004, although we figured out and changed AI using clickpatch software field set ups and graphics were not cracked.

It took over couple of years to crack the field setups which was so critical for the gameplay. Yet again I am not expecting Cricket 2005 to have it easy for patchers but how many will be willing to patch this game and to what extent is debatable.

 

[0601731]

its the pathes alone that made c2004 playable otherwise it was just crap.

I am just as annoyed as anyone else about EA's effort with Cricket 2005 but the truth is that when Cricket 2005 is released it would of been in developement for over a year.. And that is a true fact, not 4-5 months like you think.

What makes you so sure, I have reason to believe development was under 12 months ?
