Cricket 2004 keys

[msav]

Can someone please help me out with key definitions in 2004. It is particularly difficult for batting so far I cannot play anything but boring straight shots and the manual is not much help! I know you need to do combinations but I cannot work it out, some default shot keys would be useful.

Thanks.

I've got this problem as well, it really doesn't make any sense to me at all, I've tried any possible combination of buttons even similar to whats in the manual. Can anyone help? Thanks

It's pretty much the same as Cricket 2002 if you had it. My advice is for you to go to the nets and practice a bit.

I am having the same problem I am getting the hang of the bowling but I can only play straight shots when batting which only allows quick singles .I have practised in the nets but there is no way I can generate any sort of power do you press the type of shot,power button and direction button at the same time?The manual is very vague do you build the power up when the bowler is running in or when you attack the delivery?Some help would be very useful indeed many thanks in advance.

You don't need the power button unless you're slogging.

To cover drive (for example), hold down and left (assuming it's a right hander) and then hit S, and if you time it right, you cream it through the covers for 4 (Vikram Solanki is very good at this in my experience).

About time he was good at something!

Oi, just played my first game on the PS2, and man did my batting go all wrong. I started to wonder when I decided to hit all shots while holding right, and only about a third of them were going to the right... I guess I'm doing something wrong, but time will tell, I suppose. =[

Batting is the easy bit! It's bowling that's hard...

Bowling is way easier than batting man. Batting takes ages to get used to. But when you do, it's easy to get to 1000/5=dec on the second day of the test, Rahul Dravid 500 not out. xO

Hmm, it sounds like you never had a manual. No-one on this forum or any forum will support piracy.

i have the same problem guys.

can you help me w/ the key controls?

I know that left shift is the power hit button. But do you build power when the bowler is taking his run up? or when?

 

[DJellett]

You just hold it in when you play your shot as well as the front or back foot button.

Check your manual. It seems from reading other threads that you don't have one in which case check out my post straight above your one.

the key to batting in this game is timing. u got to figure out the speed of the ball before attempting any shot. if u play too early for a slower ball there is a good chance of being caught. I push the button when the ball is about half way down the pitch.

barmy army your puddy tough on theif's arent you

 

[marc71178]

And why not?

If people didn't illegally download the game but bought it instead then the cost could come down.

 

[ReallyCrazy]

I have a LEGIT version of the game It's just that I did not get a manual with it

 

[marc71178]

Yes, and I assume it was delivered by a flying pig.

 

[barmyarmy]

If you have a legit version EA or your local supplier will be happy to provide you with your (missing) manual when you show them your unique ID code.
