Played it for a few hours now and would just give a little points about the game.
Firstly, it is very different to every other cricket games since I can remember through the game play.
Gameplay is pretty good, bowling is good and you are often rewarded for just good line and length. Batting takes a bit of getting used to but its nice. The only downfall is I think strokeplay is real limited, Im yet to see some good backfoot hook and cut shots on the ground (havent played for long though remember).
Commentary is great. Its realistic. They often go on talking about random things like the greatest ever side and topics like reverse swing and Don Bradman - just like real commentators do.
Umpires are good , seem to make all the correct calls.
The real dissapointment is other than in the ICC tournaments all the players are fake like Simon Kattech and Shane Boind and Darren Leymer. However in ICC events they are real names and use the real bats they use in the game. and also there is no autoplay or go forward mode so u actually have to bowl the side out if u want to complete the match
Anyway the main thing is the gameplay and Im yet to make a decision to weather its real good, its definetly different which is a good thing as it is way different to EA 2002 , 2004 and 2005 which all run similar lines.
Ill say more when I know more, at the moment though Batting just seems real limited on shots , probably cause I havent mastered any of the others.
