I think some historical scenarios would be cracking..........

Great Ideas so far people.
I really like idea of career mode and different actions and batting style.
I really don't like him and he is really getting on my nerves in the VB seriers.

Just be thankful they are not getting Mark Nicholas.Josh said:

I couldnt care if it had the same crappy gfx as 2004.. all i care about is the gameplay
Cricket 2004 was horrible.. infact all cricket games have been horrible really... 1 problem
THEY HAVE BEEN TO EASY..... 2004 was OK after u installed about 1000 custom user patches/hacked exes/config files.. and still it had so many flaws and ways to exploit the game...
Basically they need to make the game more dynamic and organic in the gameplay.. there needs to be some way to control the batter... not just (Hold left ..push button and ball goes for six)
Just simple things really
- Have realistic physics and AI.. make the ball react with a batt how it really would.. where it hits the batt etc..
- Have control over the ball (Drift.. swing.. etc etc)
- Make ****ty batters ****ty.. etc.. make the stats MEAN something
- Make fielding not boring.... maybe when there is a catch on the game slows down and u have to get a cursor into the centre and hold it there or something.. and if the catch is hard then it would be harder to get the cursor there etc)
- Deformable pitch.. (Eg u bowl in 1 place for a while then it will deteriorate.. and then when u bowl there the ball will act a bit diff)
- A "Tru swing" batter type.. eg..
-- You could use the "W" key to put your foot foward
-- You could use the "S" key to get on the backfoot
-- You could use the "A" and "D" key to control when your aiming your body
-- You could hold "CTRL" key and push "A" or "D" to move where the batter is standing
-- You could swing with the mouse (Kinda like u do in tigerwoods golf) ..
- Better commentary
- Better Graphics (Lighting effects etc... in all honestly compared to every other sports games.. cricket games have been the worst.. cricket 2004 is really 2001 gfx... and 2001 was really 96 gfx...
EVERYTHING i have listed *Can* be done.. its just a matter of devs doing it.. althou i dont have high hopes for any cricket game really.. simply cause of past games

being able to charge well would be good
I read in the forum a while ago that they said they were going to have different pitch characteristics for each country - I hope this means we will get more realistic pitches for the sub continent = slow & low pitch with plenty of turn, but fast outfields......currently if you have a dusty pitch you get plenty of pace & bounce for the seam bowlers which is not acurate.............

on the subject of keepers, i think there should be an option to have the keeper stand up to medium pace in OD games

some good ideas

I haven't read this whole thread, so sorry if this is repetitive.
I think the basic gameplay in cricket games needs to be revamped. I have a couple of ideas, which have been taken from other current gen sports games.
For Bowling
Need to get rid of all the bowling meters. Also, need to get rid the pitch location in 2 player. That is, if you are playing against human players, the bounce location should disappear, and the bowler will have to chose the bounce location with the analog feel (like pitch location in MVP baseball). Also, the speed and amount of movement on the ball should be determined by run-up and arm-action that the bowler can put using the analog sticks.
For Batting
Picking the ball
Also for batting, because there are no meter, the batsman has to pick the ball on the fly. This can be simulated by showing a different color for a split second, as soon as the ball leaves the bowlers hand. Different types of balls (inswing, outswing, off break) should have colors. At the same time, the pitch location should also appear, thereby simulating "picking the line and lenght" of the ball. Also, the speed of the ball will be shown at the same time, by the speed of the arm action. If its fast, the bowlers arm should show some kind of trailing effect, and trailing effect should get less for slower pitches. This might seem like a lot of information for the batter to take in (that is, pick movement, location and speed in a split second) but that is how real cricket is, and a game simulation should be no different.
For Hitting the Ball
This should be based on the analog sticks, completely. The Left one should be your stance, and the Right one should give you control of you bad. With that, you can decide how much backswing you want to put on your drives and pulls. Of course there should be a power button.
I hate the current way of hitting the ball, where forward + hit = forward drive, and stuff like that, limits the shot making. Cricket has more than 10 strokes, and its hard to incorporate that without using the analog stick for "free bat control"
I know this is long, and if you didn't like the ideas, sorry for wasting your time.
Special thanks to EA Sports Fight Night and MVP baseball ...... most of the ideas are a mesh of ideas from my previous video gaming experience.
