MR M

I certianly dont Filpflop, people can change there views, you know and you should know that i dont do it often RE Iraqi War. I back duff, i smell a Rat, I backed him again and I smell a rat SO WHAT.

So you're a selective flipflopper.

You said it yourself...

"I back duff, i smell a Rat, I backed him again and I smell a rat"

Opinions change... don't see what's wrong with it...

And I'm incredibly surprised to see I'm agreeing with Hinton, as it looks ridiculously like a hoax to me now (having seen the amount of delays).

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

I don't mind his opinion changing. I take issue with what is influencing it to change. He seems a bit too John Kerry for my liking.

 

[Robertinho]

If it was aimed at me I can assure you that I have no need to suck up or claim the moral high ground. I just get p***ed off at certain people in this thread (and the threads at PC and LastX) and finally decided to express it. I have personal experience of making patches for Cricket2002 and Cricket2004 and hearing demands that I spend even more of my time doing so. As someone who has also built a website from scratch, paid for my own hosting and turned in into a large and successfull venture I think I'm entitled to express frustration at the views of people who have never tried it and support those that have.

Who are you?

It's AFL Season, so I will prob never play it anyway in the next 5 months, so, when I get really back into cricket - It might actually be released

GO PIES

Do I know you?

You seem a lot like that Lonie from 50 guy at Big Footy

MR Mxyzptlk

i can change my Views

 

[Neil Pickup]

Who are you?

He's the guy behind a lot of the Cricket2002/2004 patches and possibly the cricket2004.co.uk website.

Definitely amongst the élite percentiles of those who know their stuff when it comes to cricket computer coding.

Try capitals and bold and size five font.

Out of interest (continuing from our theory-of-cricket-game-development discussion in the BC06 thread), how will Cricket Master be simulating deliveries - a single calculation based upon batting/bowling skill/tactics, or multiple levels of maths calculating delivery type, batsman response etc?

I laughed when I read this. Thank you for your kind words. Whilst I do indeed own cricket2004.co.uk I know barely anything about cricket computer coding. I can hex edit and use photoshop and that's about it!

He can to be fair - Kadeer is now useless.

I don't rate your chances of getting a straight answer on this one Neil. I attempted to discuss how they were approaching it (much like the posts in your Beach Cricket thread) and unfortunately was just given answers of "Trust me it works" and was then told to take such discussions to private messaging, before being given childish nicknames.

I genuinely, as with anyone, hope that this game can be a success but I have to say you do begin to get a tad frustrated when comments other than praise are complained about by the developers. It is in the essence of a good developer to be able to discuss methods of implementation as well as listen to all comments good and bad imho.

That said, I do wish the people involved on this project the best of luck - as I do every game developer, Daniel Thomas and yourself included!

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Two minutes that rocked the world.

 

[age_master]

LOL, I don't think there's a point in checking the website until June 2006.

Haha, you said it.
