Something simular was in the BLIC shots. When we asked RG about it he said that AI is the last thing to be tweaked so screenshots often have unrealistic scores.
Oh ok - we can still hope then can't we :D

the screenshots from EA are crap they havnt improved the grip on the bat, look at the bowlers grip on the ball, the bowlers follow through and the batter is getting bowled without playing a shot. EA will be another let down

cricket 2005 seems very similar to 2004,but Brian Lara is something new-ish. The only downfall is no state or county sides in BLC. Imight get both.

crciket 05 will be a dissapointment again, but i will still buy it. I will be suprised if it is any good but it wont be. especially compared to the likes of tiger woods 05, and fifa 05

I think that cricket 2005 will be better then the 04 verson but i still think it will not be a great game

well, if u want correct gameplay then definietly BLC is the game to buy.
but if u can ignore the occational gameplay error then Cricket 2005 is the one to buy. It makes up for any crap by amazing graphics.(but u need a good graphics card and lots of RAM)

mate....how can u judge gameplay when u haven't even played the game.

The gameplay of cricket2004 had potential, there is no reason to expect the gameplay for cricket 2005 to be just as bad.

As i have said before...cricket 99 to 2002 were extremely bad cricket games. But cricket 2004 was actually quite good and had a lot of potential (its been said it many other forums as well)....other than a few bugs and the fact it was talked up were the reasons ppl were disappointed. I still enjoy playing cricket2004 expecially with the patches available and i love playing the foriegn tours and playing county and australian state cricket, which won't be available in blc2005.
.
There is more information and facts to back cricket 2005 will be great - you can't say that about BLC2005, other than the fact they brought out a cricket game close to 10 years ago that was only just a little improvement to what ea were producing back then as well - no ground-breaking stuff at all.

I think we have to accept that cricket games are hard to develop and to be made fun to play and i think it will take many more years for a lot of u blokes to become satisfied.

Check out the fact of the day thing that's on CW. As far as 'facts and information' go, that looks extremely impressive and very comprehensive.

You haven't seen Cricket 2005 yet, so what 'facts' are you talking about?

Codemasters are not EA who tell lie to their customers and announce the features which are not found when u buy and take the game home.EA are just liers.They dissapointed me every time i bought their game.BLC 99 was lot better than Cricket 2004.Blc 2k5 will prove to be a base for cricket games to follow.The graphics will be be better in cricket 2005 but blc 2k5 will be the king when it comes to gameplay.Konami have been defeating EA continously for 4 years in the sale of soccer games by just concentrating on good gameplay.Its time for Codemasters now to do the same thing and kick EA out of the competition.EA think that people buy games on the basis of good graphics which is not true.BLC 2k5 will kill Cricket 2005 in all departments except the graphics.

EA think they can lie to consumers just because they corner the market. Codemasters know they have to at least beat EA because they can't rely on their name only (even though Codemasters should be more reknowned, EA's ubiquity keeps their sales up).
