too busy at the mo but here is an email chain of the great game discussing between my mates
BLIC is officially the greatest of our backyard sports games of all time
i played it till 3:50am
Highest team score - 100 exactly
Highest individual - 42 (Harvey)
most wickets - 4
love it
How about the perfect throw, had a direct hit, but wasn't run out but if
you get it right on the line and your in the inner-circle stumps go
flying!!!
I kept england to 15 runs in one set of 6 overs great line and length,
taking full advantge of the slips and wicket keeper!!
Played it till 2am, i am out of it today, just want to play more, haven't
got the spinners down at all yet.
H.S - 48* with Hayden
Team H.S - 84
most wickets 3 or 4.......
i hope they bring the release date forward kulch, its frustrating playing
the limited version of such a great game!!
oi i was using a team of spinner to figure them out
u gotto see the google-doosra-wrong in..................i figured out that u can spin in both directions, but dunno how........i did it a few times - the red/green circle arrow thingy turns directions very late - its an absolute gem of a feature
then i figured out SEAM
whats your seam??
i figured out the yorker special ball with gillespie, and its the
greatest!!
isn't when the ball moves off the seam when you bowl it straight??????????
it it a special delivery???
yes that it - the level of lateral movement from when the ball bounces and hits the seam
not a special delivery
when the bowling metre is going up
square - seam to the left
x - straight seam
circle - seam to the right
and add on swing to either offset seam, (swings right but seam left) add onto the seam for the ultimate deviation!!!!!!!
seen the audio options
turn the crowd up real loud
yep yep
wow just think you have to aim the ball in the right spot, then seam it,
then add swing, three different thing before you let the ball go, then on
top of that there is the special delivery as well, and the same goes ofr
batting you can just instantly make a decision on what stroke you have to
play but rather you have to react to every single ball!
the games too good
much better than i had hoped for
loaded up a 2 playrs game, where i controlled both teams
i put all the fielders behind the keeper and batted up a storm
clocked 130 runs - gilly and haydo both in the 60's
when u get a 50, u get the 3d wagon wheel!!!!!!!!!!!!
3D WAGON WHEEL - where u see all the shots from bird-eye view......then it pans down the ground level and u see the lofted shots etc!!!!!!!
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!
well thus for the highlight for me was definitely the stump cam....then it
went fuzzy. I wonder if the game menu will have things like 3d wagon
wheel, hwak eye, where the ball pitches (dots) that you can just go to
throughout the game, stats just give the game a whole new dimension
especially when the stats are good!
blic's is going well, do have the seem cracking trying to find right line
and lengths there is more variety then i thought, i can't wait till i claim
my first clean bowled off a ball that isn't a yorker..........
plnety of caught behinds/slips, had one catch in the outfield, juggled but
held on GREAT STUFF!! haven't cracked the 100 last night, yet to make 50
with the one batsmen, i think it was 49 last night......but will surely get
it today!
tell me at this stage, do you like it in EA how you press triangle for
short pitched balls and x for the full balls, i kinda liked that
option...... but still yet to master and scope out all the strokes and what
stroke you need to play, do you know if full version has
tutorial/training??
yeah it is a general view from many that they wish BLIC's had 2 types of attacking shot with x and triangle
x for front foot
triangle for back foot
it means u have to decide, based on the pitch length ur type of shot, front or back - and yes i wish BLIC had it.
however i have noticed the timing bar for batting is either huge or small - thus meaning on some shots u have more time to time the shot right as opposed to others shots where the timing bar is small menaing u have 100th of a second to time it right
i think the size of the timing bar has something to do with ur batsmens position in relation to pitch and shot type selected, and/or the line and length of the ball (ie a good line and lenght means very little time to pick the timing, thus a good delivery.............or for a shocking line and length u have more time to get it right thus a bad delivery)
also i figured out that triangle for bowling is the slower ball...........so u can make it look like a fast/normal (gauge full) ball, but hit triangle and its less than 100km/h..........and if u hit triangle early (gauge minimal), it comes in at 60km/h..........so a pacemen has a range of 150km/h to 60km/h - beautiful change-up options!!!!!!!!
also in BLIC's square is another type of shot - it may be defensive but if u use a direction, and time it right, it will go out of the circle so u can still get plenty of runs
noticed if square by itself, its a block.............but if square with direction = quick singles or maybe even 2 runs.............awesome
this will all work well on the hardest difficulty!!!!!!!!
