i got the game last thursday i enjoy it heaps. i have only played a few tests, doing the ashes myself just finished the first test and i got done by over an innings and 200 runs damnit LOL i am playing on test level as well i might add and getting scores of 200 isn't that easy i think i got 190 odd and 170 odd, i am aussie as well.
Also started a world tour as new zealand. started in bangladesh, destroyed them (still on test level) first inings bond picked up 7 wickets and myself 3 bowled them out for like 30 or something. second innings i picked up 9!!! almost got a run out 2, player diving into his crease was JUST in damnit.
Its good, but not that realistic. i had been playinig cricket 2005 on xbox til i got this, still not sure which one i prefer. going to keep playing this for a while though just cause its a bit different.
hopefully someone at planetcricket.net can make an ai patch which will let the computer take more singles (everyone on the boundary and they take a single maybe once every 2 overs so i don't do that anymore)
playing on test level straight away was challenging as i didn't have the marker telling me where a good line and length was, but i got it at the end if ya playing bangaldesh it doesnt' matter just full balls swinging to straighten up lbw/bowled almost every time.
Also i am thinkin of making a story thing like on planetcricket.net just to waste a bit of time
please ignore the part in the aforementioned post where woosah mentions that he is not sure which of blics or cricket 2005 is best yet...
I was with woosah (who is 'special') and we were on the glue bottle together...it was actually only blics, I just put the game back on again and changes the picture setting...
damn that glues is some fine shizzle..
but blics is best.
Test level is ridiculously hard IMO.....county tests against aussie though are very good.
cricket 2005, after twenty minutes, had me, on the hradest level, scoring 300 in 30 overs and bowling a good team out for 15. It is a turd.
Blics is quick, has good feel and good options.
this is not even a contest.
unless you think fifa and pes are on par
g3 jockey and gallop racer 2 are on par
etc etc...
there is no accounting for taste of course....but generally-speaking, barring madness, you will prefer Blics. [/b]
