[QUOTE="NZL Fan, post: 29202"] To be fair I could only stomach Ea sports cricket 2005 for about a day before reviewing, so to be fair I reviewed Lara for a shorter time frame as well.......... Proper "misfields" like those programmed in cricket 2005 do not happen at all, neither do overthrows. I know what you refer to, but what I am talking about is well timed shots "blasting" through a fielder once in a while. Read again about the computer taking "stupid runs", it was a "good". Throw to the keeper issue just seems to be a little silly (ie. unrealistic) - if they make batsmen have different running speeds in future versions then the ability to throw to either end would be a must. I'm pretty happy with the review, I think generally it is positive without overlooking some of the blatent flaws of the game (ie. computer pacing when chasing). It is also consistant with what game ranking sites like gamerankings.com (rating between 7-8, user reviews around 7-7.5). If PES4/Madden are 9-10/10 then this game is still somewhat short of those in terms of overall gameplay, computer AI, graphics, editing options,numbers of teams and players, longevity (especally with poor computer AI in onedayers), master league/franchise modes. To suggest this game is worthy of the same mark as those games is laughable..........though as I concluded in the review it IS a lot of fun, and the best cricket game to date. I compared it to SJRL in the belief that like that ***le this game will be hugely improved upon in its next version (with bugs/problems ironed out), and COULD be as good as some of the best sports games on the market - as it stands it ain't quite there yet..........
