ok, some of them are in the features list,some are not.
the main reason for this thread is to be as transparent
as possible so that no member would feel cheated and we wont want
to be labeled as "Liars" ! this list will be updated as the game
progresses.
Things That are present in TAOC that are NOT present in EA / Codies cricket series :-
1.) First Up, Plain And Simple - Realistic gameplay !!
2.) Realistic physics. The cricket ball will move realistically.
3.) Stat-Tracking.
4.) View replays of your favourite moments!
5.) Awesome batting includes many different strokes on the front and back foot.
Does this mean, for example, different players will have a different style for a front foot block? Like, a tail ender would have a loose block, and a top order player would have a solid block technique?
6.) It is the first game to pioneer a stamina system for batsman which recreates the fatigue which is part of a long innings.
7.) dew factor For ODIs in the subcontinent. That is, it would favour the side batting second under lights.
8.) players like tendulkar / symonds can bowl medium pace, offspin etc.
so if we select part-time bowlers, there would be an option to choose whether we want to bowl leg / off / medium etc.....
Great option! Finally! I hate how on EA games Symonds can only bowl Off Spinners!
9.) McGrath would bowl 80% of his deliveries in the similar area becuase he is very consistant with his bowling. where as brett lee would bowl 65% on the proper line.
Does this mean, like, a dot for where you pitch the ball will be larger and will pitch anywhere within the circle? Or will the dot where you pitch the ball move more radically if the bowler isn't accurate?
10.) There Would be tentative pushes by the AI which will result in more edges
and a bowler like mcgrath can take advantage of his seaming ability.
11.) We would be able to select any headgear (cap,helmet etc) in between overs from
the menu.
12.) Player likenesses. Witness the Tall & skinny Mcgrath bowling to the Short & chubby Tendulkar.
:laugh
Nice work! EA could do it in 04, not 07?!
13.) totally free cam can be used to select any default camera angle view and also in replays, no restrictions to angle or zoom.
14.) You can choose the people that will umpire your match from the official ICC panel.(will be available via patch)
15.) Dynamic weather conditions and lighting effects. It may begin to rain and it will get darker throughout a day!
And not like EA where the rain continues throughout the day
:
16.) Duckworth Lewis system
Things That WONT be there :-
1.) Classic Matches (too much time & research required)
Good, no one bothers to play them anyways I think.
2.) Domestic Teams / cups / leagues (may be as an addon)
Damn, patch makers will be able to make them anyways
3.) Presentation After the match (unecessary)
4.) Licenses (Fixable via patch)
5.) Authentic Batting and bowling Styles.(very hard to do as anims are done by hand)
6.) Snickometer,Hawkeye,Ultra Motion.(money constrains)
7.) Next Gen Graphics.(limited technology / sources)
8.) Manual LBw Appeal Button (not necessary)
9.) Career Mode (too time consuming)
10.) Ball Smashing the pavillion windows
:
11.) Authentic Faces.(gameplay more imp than graphics)
Things That Would Be Editable :-
AI
Bats
Kits (Jersey,Pads,gloves,helmet etc)
Adboards
Pitchmats
Grass
Turfs
Faces
Hair
Overlays
menu graphics
Rosters(stats,attributes)
Teams
Competitions/tours
Sounds
Things That Would NOT Be Editable :-
Source code(obviously)
:
Animations
Player models
Stadiums
With editing, bats, kits and stumps/pitchads, could you maybe release the templates for these early so that patchmakers could get to work on them as soon as possible?
