How do you get the real names???

Is there anyone out there who knows how to get the real names for RPIC?? So much for the game having all the icc liscences, they can't even put the real names on. Even the crappy EA cricket 2005 has the real names. There must be a way to get the names.

I'm having trouble renaming players like Inzamam and Rana who have hyphonated names in the PS2 version. I can't find a hyphon on the keypad.

EA tend to get the player liscences before the other games companies, like SKY with the television rights. Once EA have the player liscences, other companies can't use the player names, so the quality of the game has no effect on player naming liscences, just the companies' bankroll.

It's crap how EA have all the licenses, yet they just waste them with crappy titles. They got cricket ones with Cricket 2005 which is just crap, and all the football ones with the disgraceful FIFA series.

Well, what BLIC/RPIC/Codemasters have to do when they release the next edition, is try and apply as early as possible for licenses for names, that's very unlikely tho as EA probably have rights for ALL their games.

I don't think you need to get licenses for every game, I think EA have a license that enables them to use real names etc in all their games for a certain number of years.

Hahaha yeah, A Simms, he's white. Good idea about Hodge though.

Who is NZ's "M Phepps"? And Pakistan's keeper, and "F e-Akbul"? Heck, what about -

T Kondemby

Yeah, the official ICC liscencing events such as ICC Champions Trophy and ICC World Cup - The names and faces are exact...which is a pity because you can only have that certain squad for those tournaments, oh well...i don't care really.

Cheers for the list. I haven't had a full attempt at changing them, yeah...mine is on Playstation 2 which means I require the effort, but I much rather PS2.
