Why is it like a graveyard in here? Less than a week until Cricket Coach is released!

Tarick, how much work did Ed (membersstand) do on the game?

afaik, nothing, ask Ed or Oli.

thats not confirmed. read the site.

yes but it states that the Focus Multemedia version(i.e. CD) will be £9.99. So either there will be a differential or they will change the download price. I can't imagine that Focus would agree to sell a cut down version on CD which is what they seem to be suggesting.

We have received some very positive feedback about the news that Focus Multimedia are to release a retail version of Cricket Coach. However we have had several questions about the price difference between the Focus version and digital download version. We plan to differentiate the two versions, so which ever version you decide to purchase, you will be getting excellent value for money. More details about this will follow.

We have been noted by our testers about some gameplay bugs after playing the game for several seasons, for this reason we have decided to delay releasing a version to the general public until these issues have been sorted. This was a difficult decision for us as the 17th March had been our planned release date for a long time. We apologise for the delay, but believe you would rather we sorted these issues out now, than release a version with them in.

The game will be available as soon as these issues have been sorted, thank you for you patience.

The release by Focus Multimedia is not affected by this news, that version will still be released in May 2006, and will feature a well known celebrity endorsement.

Meh, let that be a lesson to everyone to not care about a cricket game until it is released.

oh well im sure it wont be too far off. Delays do happen to almost every game.

the thing that you guys note stuff like this, and some take it high up, is because there arent many cricket games, while douzens of shooter games get delayed everyday, it doesnt happen often that crickey games get made let alone get delayed, nothing lesson.
just wait for it, tis not like the world will end.

The plan is to release a version on March 31st, obviously nothing is certain in life, but I'd say this is pretty much certain.
