Icc 2007

[darko21]

Any word on development for ICC07 as I am starting to tire of ICC 05 and do not want to pay AUD$40 for a data update (even if it does have Twenty20 stats).

Plus, use this thread as The Ultimate Idea thread for ICC07 and beyond!

Some classic series other than ashes ones?

 

[pearljammonkey]

some ideas for future ICC's - mostly based on international play as im australian

- more comprehensive youth player system, maybe an option to put young players in an institute to help their chances of becoming test quality - ability to hand out 25 international contracts?
- fix up sub-continental dominance - Pak, Ind, SL, Bangladesh all start the game with too many amazing players, based on inflated averages. By the second season Bangladesh are beating teams everywhere with their army of spinners, India only need Kumble & Harbhajan in their team to beat anyone, meanwhile Murali cant even get a game for Sri Lanka because of an apparent over-abundance of bowling depth?
- more stats. top 10s for runs, wkts etc. career records. ability to view players previous seasons, not just last year.
- ability to see a forecast on your home pitch and weather conditions before having to choose your test XII
- fielder & wicketkeeper ratings
- better AI when selecting teams. If Harbhajan has just taken 30 wickets at 10 in his last 2 tests, then he should be picked in the next test, even if it is a pacemans wicket
- more unpredictable play from the computer - going for it early in an ODI or even a test, not declaring at 600, declaring at 7/150 and sending the other team in to gain an advantage. occasionally not enforcing the follow-on.
- ability to see a players fitness before you select him in an international squad
- notices sent when players retire
- players retiring from international cricket only. players shouldnt play for their county in between tests when theres only like 3 days off - not realistic & they burn out
- bowlers SHOULDNT LOSE FORM for taking 0/20 off 10 overs in a one-dayer!
- an all-time league or player roster where i can choose ANY test player in history and put them against anyone else, thus creating an opportunity to play the WI 80's team vs the current Aus team, or pick Ambrose to bowl to Bradman, Warne to Sobers etc
- Aus State competitions

Still Waiting...

Any one, anywhere in the world, hear anything on a new ICC game coming soon? World Cup is almost upon us and there is not even a hint as far as I have heard.





Anyone?

I heard news on it on planetcricket but its not sounding promising

I've got money on it being a simple data update.

I had a long chat with Chris Child (developer) at the launch in London today. Check the site tomorrow for a full article/review/more stuff.

Where can I find this on the main site?

I saw this on cricketgames.

Product Details

Features


The new player database contains the latest statistics for all first class players worldwide from the Wisden Cricket Archive.


The developers are true cricket fans and have detailed knowledge of the playing style and personality of all the players in the database.


Every aspect of cricket has been accurately simulated in the match engine.

Realistic feel of the way you expect known players to perform according their style.


Algorithms and parameters in the game are individually set for each player.


Brand new motion captured 3D highlights engine provides an authentic TV style, with detailed textures and rich, realistic action.

It doesn't seem hugely different to me, just new graphics, which is, in my opinion, the thing that least needs updating.

Shall wait and see though.

Hahaha, they aren't actually new features... just vague attempts to talk it up. "Algorithms and parameters in the game are individually set for each player." Incredible stuff.

The one thing I would love to see is domestic competitions from all over the world instead of just England
