what the hell happened to that data update ;-)

[xixsoside]

I've been thinking of buying ICC 2005 - but what happened to that data update that was to be distributed

 

[_Ed_]

It's still being made, apparently they're having trouble with the online play part.

 

[PeterF]

I think it would be good if they could just release a data update and then do the online part in another patch later.

data update?, like new players and stuff?#

Yeh, There are alot of mistakes in the database that have been found out that they are going to fix. Flintoff being a RMF bowler is an example.

 

[pearljammonkey]

Flintoff being a RMF bowler is an example.

not a very good example though. it doesnt matter whether a bowler is RM or RF, its based on the skill of the bowler.

a better example would be that all the players stats arent up to date with the game as it starts (international stats are only up to about 6 months before the first series (ENG v BAN)

Lol Hamish Marshall was a wicket keeper? Wtf? Where did they do their research?

That, and apparantly MF is faster than FM in the game.

 

[cricketboy29]

hows that again?, MF faster than FM, it seems a bit decadent

 

[Neil Pickup]

MF is technically faster than FM. Adjective-Noun. What does decadence have to do with anything?

 

[cricketboy29]

I just figured that Medium Fast, would be slower than Fast Medium. it just seemed a bit illogical to have it the other way around.

Cricket following logic and the rules of common society? Don't be silly. Every time I've seen the speeds explained it's Fast, Fast Medium, Medium Fast, Medium (and wikipedia backs me up on this, too).

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

I know that, but in this game it is different.

MF is faster than FM in the game.
Flintoff and Jones are classed as MF, leaving room for the faster Harmison, Lee etc.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

I know that, but in this game it is different.

Possibly. Which suggests that the people making it didn't have a clue.

Shhh... dont say it out loud

 

[Mike Hussey]

I have given up, can someone please tell me when they actually realease it?

 

[Shahid Afridi]

just wait till the next icc edition comes out

 

[PeterF]

just wait till the next icc edition comes out

lol hee hee

 

[xixsoside]

so this basically means that they cheated everyone into buying the new version will all sorts or promises and have not lived up to it.

 

[Emcee]

Didn't they promise online play on the website? If so can't we all get a refund as the product isn't what it claimed to be?
