Yeah mate they're taking a while to make it but apparently I've heard that it will be brilliant. Better be worth the wait I reckon ;)

The improvements they could make:

- realisic faces and actions;
- reverse swing only coming into play around 80 overs;
- more on off stump and outside.( to trouble the batsmen you have to bowl well wide of off stump when realistically u would deffenatly leave;
- more commentary;
- Injuries for example a very quick bouncer very rarely results injury.
- create player.( create a run up, more facial options and voice etc);
-graphics. the UK version of the stumps being hit is a crap animation;
-vary wicket( sticky, dry, hard etc);
-Gameplay;
- bowling choice( u can change the seam position).
- field placings ( theres a set field have to put a fielder in the spots. have the freedom to place anywhere but keeping the rules obviously);
- move the batsmen in the crease have him outside the popping crease. also taking the batsmens mark number 2 middle etc;
- can have the wicket keep up at the stumps for medium pace bowlers;
-More realistic shots and ball wear and tear effect;

thats all I got at the mo lol

Realistically (in conditions where it's a factor at all) reverse swing comes into play a lot earlier than 80 overs.

Also, the ball swings as much after 150 overs as it did in the first over. Players need to be updated and such, and I think Andrew Symonds should be able to bowl his mediums and his offies. I still like Cricket 07, and am eager for 08. Does anyone have a link to say that it is defo gunna happen?

I hope this happens - unfortunately EA seem to be very quiet about it. Is this coming out next year or will it be next summer/autumn around Ashes time?

not going to happen, i bet! cricket 07 is ok-good like most cricket games just needs intense testing and sorting out stupid things like being near impossible to bowl at AI batsman.

I think that both Cricket 09 and a codemasters game (not sure which player it will feature) will probably come out in 2009. With cricket 09 featuring on the ashes with the codies game featuring on twenty 20 world cup. I wouldn't be suprise if there was a game either including or completely focusing on the IPL.
