[QUOTE="ak47, post: 29212"] I have to disagree with this point about the batting There's more control in batting than any other cricket game If a random type of shot is played - that u never intended - it is because u have selected the wrong type of shot for that line and length getting caught and bowled off the front foot - this is because it was pitched long enuff for the front foot animation yet too short for a drive - ie u just got done, covers, or mid wicket would have been the right option. Sweep shot is in the game - I have seen it a few times now - it is rare, but the leg glance is more effective anyway - yet prone to LBW's - like real life IMO the batting can only get better with a back foot shot, and stepping down the ptich - nothing else is needed........ It is evidented if u have selected the wrong shot - the timing bar is small (even if u have maxed confidence) I have never been out when the timing bar is huge - even if i time it wrong - at the black spots - coz the bar range is huge it means my shot selction was right, just my timing out I like the review - however it seems the emphasis was on the bad points - AI running, Bowling speed etc - I think this needs to be added at the bottom "Is BLIC worth buying"......a big fat "you'd be nuts NOT to" [/QUOTE]
