New Cricket game in the works - first screenshots

[whiteninness]

well nothins set in concrete and it is reather early

but when it comes to statistics and graphs basic ones like scorecar, bowling scorecard and some batting stats (number of 1s, 2s, etc) and probably a Manhattan graph and some other possibly. At first release there will be probably either the major international teams OR the aussie state teams but future patches will inclde more teams.

thnx guys keep does questions comin

It looks very good.

ill soon show you a screen shot of the team selection (choosing the team not the actual players)

im leaning towards state teams for the first release as i cant find any other state cricket sims (besides c2k4)...and Australia aswell if you wanna have some games like australia vs victoria with 2 warneys :P

 

[Iron-Haggis]

1 Warney in my opinion is bad enough, I don't think I could handle 2 of them. So how many players will be available to be picked for each squad? Also are you going to include the Waugh twins?

 

[whiteninness]

the screenn shot on the first page of this thread shows about half of the aussie players (in rough batting order)

theres 40 aussie players and those numbers wil vary for each team. waugh twins will feature in NSW and perhaps Australia if you realli want it

 

[squiz]

take out Mark Waugh, he's not playing anymore Well he's announced his retirement anyways

 

[whiteninness]

only squad ive done is australia and neither waugh is in it

since you select the squad and will possibly be able to edit it... for those mark waugh fans out there like me will probably be able to use him in the game although he will sit on the sidelines for many...and he wont be in any default lineups

 

[Iron-Haggis]

Steve Waugh is retiring at the end of this season to as far as I believe.

Is it possible to make the State squads and then allow all those in the State squads to be picked for Australia. Except make it you can only pick so many Victorians, because I'm sure they will go out and pick the entire Victorian squad for Australia

 

[whiteninness]

there are loads of aussie players... 40 so far on a list that will probably expand...adding custom players to databases (state or aussie) will probably be implemented too. this means ya can add ya club team for example or some new players that come along to the sides...or you could add some state players to the aussie squad this way.

i have stalled development for the past few days due to the fact that i have a couple of assignments/tests this week but am looking forward to getting back to work on the weekend and releasing some mroe screenies probably.

go the vics!!!!we won't more vics in the national side!!!lol

 

[whiteninness]

cameron white is looking good in a country that is to be honest lacking sinners bar warne and macgill who aint young. his batting ability helps him too. hodge should also be pushing for national selection.

it looks good, i love cricket simulators...

will it be free?

 

[whiteninness]

yep thats the idea

keep da questions rolling

The commentary ... will be it be like the early games in the Chamionship Manager series i.e. A large variety of lines generated by random based on their stats ... I played one of these "simulators" and won the world cup using kenya. The other team gave me 58 extras and one of their batsman was given out for handling the ball.

 

[whiteninness]

the commentary will be ball by ball

nothing is certain yet though as i havnt started the commentary.

most of the cricket sims i know of sim the game in 1 of 2 ways. ball by ball where you press a "sim ball" button or something similar or games where u press a "sim over" button where it sims a whole over at a time

in this game you press a button to sim an over with the bowler of your choice and the strategies of ya choice (not to sure bout wat kind of strategies). it will sim each ball at a time and display some text commentary for each ball and add the usual stats to the scorecard etc. probably bout 1 second per ball ill see.
