Yeah, that'd be cool. They could make it really good and make you have to impress in state/grade cricket - and during games get specific instructions - ie; "Bat time, hang on for the draw", "Give as much strike to blahblah as possible" and "Keep things tight", "Go all out for that wicket".Prince EWS said:
It'd have to go hand in hand with the implementation of auto-play though...
Bowling is so fun, I love it. Mixing it up, using real tactics. One review I read said "It was said that 'Batting is a pleasure, bowling is chore' yet the reverse is evident in RPIC 2005." I would say they've done really well in making bowling fun, and I also find batting fun aswell, especially when you have to claw your way to like 20 off 100 balls.
I got my fast bowler up a rating of 100, and his fastest was about 130kphJosh said:Yeh multiple career modes would be a great idea.
I am really getting annoyed with bowling at 65 km/h all the time tho. I tend to bowl "slower balls" a lot as they get up to 101 km/h

I've only just learnt how to swing & drift
It's the slower ball from him that always kills me. I made 219 against England after they were all out for 156, Harmison taking 4 and Jones 3.Robertinho said:
yeah i thought cricket 05 was a bit un realistic til i saw the rain come falling down at lords it iss very easy to score runs my highest partnership is 789 and i know 2 cheats try to hit a six miss time it and when the fielder is about to catch it press start and he will drop same if it goes along the ground and the other one if you want know you will have to make me your buddyRobertinho said:It's an awesome game. Way better than Cricket 2005. What really impressed me is how the scores are realistic and the fielding placements are actually effective. On Cricket 2005, you can six hit down the ground every ball for the first 10 overs and make about 200. But in this, you actually have to play proper shots, which makes it great fun.
This leads to more realistic scores, which to me is the second most important thing - behind how enjoyable it is. I recently had the West Indies 3/98 after 30 overs in an ODI - they then exploded and got to about 3/160 after 39 overs - Warne had figures of about 7-1-50-0, we then got them all out for 172 and Warne finished with 10-4-50-3.
Great game, though I've been playing it on Xbox, will have to get the PC version.
(And I love how they conveniently added a feature to edit the names
