I can't believe I ate the whole thing
Just been playing it. If you click 'highlights level' and click 'None', and then autoplay, the only thing that interrupts the match are wickets and bowler changes when tired/overs used up.
Runs quite smoothly for me on my laptop that is **** for games usually. I like the new layouts they have for team selection (seeing the squad next to the player pool is a great move) and the in game commentary card + scoreboard.

Lol, what's the point, though? Why can't I watch the highlights and still be on "auto" mode?
That said, I've really been enjoying this version. High-res Widescreen interface? **** yes. Limited Over matches are a lot more interesting too, now, you can tell there's been marked improvement in the CPU batting aggression algorithm.

I don't know, I was just answering that poster as he wants to be able let it play automatically and not be interrupted by highlights. You can still let it play automatically and have highlights.
Would be easier to 'skip match' after selecting the XI and doing the toin coss if you don't want any fuss.

That's not his gripe, though.
I understand his point is that the auto mode is quite useless if it stops functioning after every highlight. It seems a bit funny to me, too.

And my point is you can turn the highlights off so they don't interrupt.

Well glitchey......Pietersen in the space of ONE TEST went from very aggressive to very defensive for no reason whatsoever, his strike rate in my first year was 66. in the second year it's down to 31. That's crazy, even worse when the ODI team is built on him.
Some weird players are way too good as well, like Broad, who averages under 25 bowling and over 35 batting, but that's nothing new to be fair since he was the bomb on 2008 as well. Panesar is another guy they seemed to have made BETTER rather than worse.
I do wish they could do some sort of international retirement thing though, because as much I love to play him, I feel I'm cheating when selecting Banger.

Awesome, Anderson took 27 wickets, Panesar 20, Onions 22
Strauss 600 runs, Pietersen 400
Hughes was awesome for the aussies, Jonathan Trott scored another 200 runs in 3 tests, Joshua Cobb 150 in 2 tests
all in all very good mixture of young and old
ooh and Jones played one test

I'm enjoying ICC 2009
It's a good game. I like the new graphic shots of batting shots and dives in the slips.
I like the database.
I like the historical ashes series.
I'm playing Australia vs England 2009 at the moment. Good series. England 2-0 down at the moment, yet have taken a strong position in the third test.
Thumbs up so far.

Trescothick and Ramprakash
I'm playing them both.
Both got zilch runs.
LOL.
If any England selectors are reading.
B.T.W. I think they should pick Ramprakash.

I find playing with England is much like playing with an England side of the mid 90s, I often seem to go from 140-2 to abput 180-7 on a regular basis. To be fair I have only played at home against the West Indies (won 2-0), at home to Australia (lost 2-1) away to South Africa (lost 2-1) and away to Pakistan (lost 2-1 also), so they aren't entirely unrealistic results, but it does seem my team throws away great opportunities to win games when realistically they would have won, mind you, it is England I suppose.

I am still playing the 2005 Ashes version. I will stick with that I think. There seem to be good features but I won't be spending money on it as you can't manage Australian teams, can you at least switch between county teams ?
