EA sports did one in 2005 and 2007 that was great. at least you enjoyed the game.

Wait, what?

Both the EA titles were bad jokes. Did you ever try sweeping a spinner, and miss?

The ball would hit you, you'd fall down (apparently dead - from being hit by a spinner :O ) and then the keeper would stump you.

Seriously, bro. This is far and away the best representation of cricket there has yet been. Playing the game feels much more like actually playing cricket, rather than playing a series of quick time events with a cricket graphic on top.

This game means I don't have to buy The Show anymore - I only ever bought The Show because there were no decent cricket games.

ocat: you've got some rose-tinted specs on. SWC/BLC didn't have no-balls, only gave wides if you played a stroke, flat out wouldn't run on Cyrix x86 CPU's and crashed often on AMD ones - and even crashed often on many 3DFX cards (including the one I had at the time) although one of the selling points was the 3DFX performance.

Yes, it was good at the time. It's not fit to clean the shoes of DBC 14

Great read! Being from the UK I might have to give this a try!

If this isn't the best cricket game then what is? Anybody know if it's available on disc and would play on an American system if I imported?

I would kill or die for an Australian Rules Football game to come out in the US...anything to get me away from the now annual EA Madden disappointment for a few years!

For all the newcomers . Being an ardent cricket fan I have suffered for years but finally a worthy game.
This game was started by a dev team and was in the making for years. And wow how
Fruitful are the results. It's the first ever cricket game with a career mode like be a pro
Also fifa has never added extra tournaments or patches 2 months after the game has released ,
But big ant studio has continued their support. This is my first comment ever on operation sports
And only cause I find this game and the efforts and post game patches worthy of it. Buy it
Enjoy it . It's coming to PC this month and ps4 soon.
