BLIC is back for 2007

AK47 - shoots off sms to mate to get on xbox live and not go to work tonight until i have come over and downloaded

YES YES YES
 
the best thing about cricket games are the stories

you should see some of the matches htese guys are having on the codies site

"Shane Watson is a walking wicket" <------its a simulation!!! brilliant

I wanna hear some TRF stories

I am meant to have a date tonight........well meeting this bird, for a drink........i think i am going to the cricket instead!!!!
 
I will once I get it. first attempt was corrupt redowloading from a different mirror now
 
Plays very much like the first, only get 3 overs to bat and 3 overs to bowl..

I've cobbled together a basic demo expander here. ;)
Will probably have to do as I had over 100,000 possible bytes for trying to change it from a 3 to a 50 over match.
 
man some of the feedback is hit or miss...most of it is hit

alot of nitpickers out there - most of them pc users and subject to their pc specs

but overall i can tell - i will sleep with this game - it will mother my children

AI taking risky singles if required - ai run outs exist

Keeper catch system for knicks - nothing auto anymore

Stumpings

Watson is ****

after watching the video - that spin ball that cuts back into to hit top of off stump, batsmen playing across the line for a sweep - absolutely brilliant

also heard about nudging defensive strokes for singles etc

This could be the greatest game i will ever play
Rugby 2006, GTA:SA + Gears of War are my favourites of all time, JLR not far behind...PES series also in my hall of fame.......BLIC2005 only in multiplayer.
But BLIC/RPIC 2007 - could be throwned as the biggest social killer of all time in my world
18 years of gaming, 12 years of cricket - FINALLY, FINALLY MY FRUITS ARE PICKED........
It only gets better from here........HOWZAT!!!!!!!!!!
 
ok guys played a few games and it seems pretty good. lots of little things make the atmosphere so much better. it now feels like a proper game of cricket. it is hard to get a true feel for it though of just the 3 overs and also playing on the keyboard. I have been caught a few times due to a bad shot and timing it wrong so that it either caught the edge or flew to the fielder. graphically it seems pretty good to me and defintely a lot better than last time. the demo is obviously on the easier mode but it is still fun to play and smashing symonds for sixes I doubt will ever get old. I can also confirm shane watson is useless I had him out 4 times in 4 balls 3 of those being no balled bowled. he simply cannot play the ball full and coming into him, he will miss it everytime.
 
Has anyone downloaded it for 360? I'm downloading it now but mines taking for ever because I keep getting kicked of the net.
 
got demo on 360... looks really nice... eng vs aus 3 overs at eden park i think.. although it is given a false name..... gilchrist is the man 3 consecutive sixes off harmison.. did not look like realistic sixes he played back foot chips down the ground..... once u chip the in field.. ball races to boundary as if it had a nos boost... all three bowlers ( harmison, mahmood, flintoff ) have exactly the same bowling style.... wicky hits the bails off everytime the fielder throws to him and it cuts to billy bowden shakin his head even tho the batter was in his crease for the last five minutes.... frustrating..... that better be fixed.........yorkers 80 percent of the time that i played produce a wicket.... one over with brett lee i had four lbws in a row...... this is quite bad a.i...... game is 90% complete so hopefully this will be ironed out as well......... last game i played aus 0/45 eng 5/ 18 this was due to the fact i bowled an over of yorkers and decided to give a.i a chance once i realised how easy it was to get em out........ fielding is quite hard cos u nver know when the meter is going to appear and it fills up ultra quik.... only wickets i have taken have all been lbw with yorkers even tho i am consistently trying to bowl a good line and length......... only critical comments here but the game is beautiful to look at and is real fun to play... definate purchase for me even if these problems are not adhered to.... demo rating 8/10

There is now a demo expander that works on PC. Mine only worked on my version due to the memory editing I was doing and by the time I got round to fixing it someone else had made one :p
 
i'll be quick

awesome game

ghettodan nailed it on the head

has issues hopefully ironed out

ai easy mode is a bore

fielding n bowling is even better than 05

the slips catch system is the greatest thing ever
and a direct hit from the boundary caught the ai napping inches - GONE GET f***ED GREAT THROW GONE, SEE YA, PAVILION THATTAWAY BIATCH

Fielding n catching meter is spot IMO - very very hard, but can be mastered with practice

get on
 
have now played demo over 30 times... am lovin it more and more.... inswinging off cutters wiv mcgrath producing alot of edges... u have to be fast on the A button to take the catch tho... wen u pull that **** it off it is beautiful to watch....cant wait till this hits the shelves... ill have 1000 gamer points for this in no time.. bring it
 
Graphics were terrible on the 360 demo and the commentary was barely audible.

I really dont feel like it improves enough on last year's game to make it a worthwhile purchase. Maybe for the multiplayer aspect...

Not a very favourable review on games radar;

"But the batting is starting to feel dated and fielding makes you want to impale yourself on a sharpened stump." lol
 
Just read what they have to say. I don't know anything about playing Brian Lara '07, but I will say this.

EA Cricket '07 is not approachable game as they say, and I have found it to play very well considering the bashing it gets from most. I really enjoy the game, and things happen in it for a reason and it can be played well.

I only hope that this isn't a case of games radar being one of the few who dare say what they really think of Brian Lara '07. As they paint it, it's good but not awesome.

I suppose like everyone else, I'll have to wait.
