Peer Lawther at Codemasters has replied to the questions we sent him. Here are the answers:
Hello Peer, could we start by asking you who you are, what your responsibility is with Brian Lara International Cricket, and how most people know you.
I'm the Community Liaison Manager for the Codemasters sports titles
including LMA Manager, Club Football and, of course, Brian Lara
International Cricket 2005 (and not forgetting the Ricky Ponting version of
course). I promote the game to online forums and websites, talk about the
game with the fans, along with updating the official website and writing and
producing the newsletters to the registered members
(http://www.codemasters.co.uk/regist...ts.php?gid=1584)
Will there be Online Play in the game?
No online play in this version of the game but we certainly hope to have
it in future versions.
In batting, will there be an option to advance down the pitch to play a
shot?
Unfortunately not - we didn't have the time to put forward/backward
movement in the game this time. Again, this will be in future versions.
Is this game created by the same team that made the original, and if not,
how is this develepor better?
It's a new developer - Swordfish Studios - which worked on the excellent
World Championship Rugby game last year. We felt they had produced a great
game in World Championship Rugby and could handle sports titles very well -
even those with a pedigree such as Brian Lara's.
Thanks for your time, Peer, will you be joining the forums?
I'll certainly look to join - as soon as I'm back from my honeymoon!
If there are any more questions you would like to ask Peer then go to this forum thread to post them.
Oh no ! no advance down the pitch option :crying
We shud appeal to codemasters to make this option available b4 release or after release thru a patch.
BTW we do have some very good guys like sam, prakash, etc. who can make this advance down the pitch option available in the game thru editing.
