BLIC is back for 2007

[woosaah]

the blic 2005 was a big let down for me over ea 2005. i played the ea game alot more just because it had more variety. blic was more multiplayer, single player was just plain boring. boring as in 2 easy. cricket 05 was hard and gave me a challenge. but each to their own.

i will buy ea 2005 around world cup time, it would have come down in price by then.

i admit it was too easy, but, then load up a lesser nation on TEST level is hard

versng against Harmy or Akthar on TEST was HARD

Cricket 2005 was not even better than the BLIC demo

BLIC will blow this out of the ICC

ICC will impose a ban against EA for game tampering...BLIC will get off on a lifeline for perfomance anhancing drugs....coz for a cricket video game is far too good for a budgeted ***le

If Codies has maddens/fifa/PES budget........BLIC would be 10/10......100%...something these other genres cant even get with their billions, and gazillions of $$

Malcom Speeds comments and praise for BLIC, indicates EA's liscense is on death row

na playing a crap team against a good team on test level was boring 2. you just had to keep out the good balls, which there arnt that many, and play sensibly. the bowling was terribly easy as well.

why should i use a crap team? i want to play as new zealand and it was just way to easy.

i actually played my first full game of cricket 2005, bowled my first full innings 50 over match. bowled them out for 213 in 49.3 overs, but i only scored 170. its a challenge, and thats what i like

yeah blic07 loosk the goods. looks like they have thought about everything and ea have decided just for an update.

i am looking forward to the blic07, i was just saying i didnt like the 05 version that much

 

[NZL Fan]

I hated both Ea cricket 05 and BLC equally, and with EA cricket 07 being a rehash of the same game and BLC a total gameplay overall I think BLC all the way for me this time around!

this was a great read

BLIC WILL OWN US ALL.............not sure if i'll get Ricky or Brian..............have always admired Lara, and i have issues with Punters captaincy at times

If only Warny could keep his skeletons in the closet :wall:

FAAAAAAARRK!!!!!!

 

[woosaah]

yeah they look good but they also look pre rendered, i doubt the game will look like that, we can only hope though.

i am sure one day graphics will be like that, just hope its not to far away

go down half way

here it is

i guess BLIC is looking better because the screen is a render and it is being played on high graphics. And whereas EA is being played on low graphics

the rubber reply
Hello all - just noticed this post - that screen isn't a render, it's from the Xbox 360 game. And yes, it's in-game.

 

[The Flash]

OMG! Thats fantastic AK!

 

[woosaah]

excellent find dude

 

[esoj]

blic looks very nice indeed. online too should be good.

BRAND NEW BLIC VID

I CANT VIEW IT

BUT HERE IT IS - LET US KNOW HOW SHE LOOKS

http://community.codemasters.com/forum/sho...ad.php?t=154589

 

[woosaah]

honestly, it didnt look much different from 2005, i was disapointed with the vid.

graphics look pretty much the same, and the way the ball moves and stuff looked pretty much the same. i am hoping this isnt the case, but it is an online cricket game so i will get it no matter what
