[QUOTE="NZL Fan, post: 29214"] You're starting to sound like those EA fanboys who get ultra defensive when someone dares criticise their game [img]http://www.therugbyforum.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img] Not influenced by anything - just pointing out that average reviews from "Joe Bloggs" consumers and professional reviewers (whatever faith you have in them) is along the same lines..........just because my review isn't high enough for your tastes doesn't make it a "cop out". Even the pro codeys people on the codemasters forum are acknowledging that there are some issues in the game that hinder its full potential. As pointed out if Ea sports cricket 2005 is a 4/10, and PES4 is a 9 (possibly a 10)/10 then 7/10 would seem to be right for a game that is fun to play, but is let down by some poorly implemented computer AI (unlike PES4 for instance)........ [b]By all means I advocate buying it because it is undoubtably the best cricket game to date, and is fun to pick up and play (especially test matches)[/b] For instance I just had a 20 over game Pakistan (me) vrs England (comp) on test level (before you ask I work for myself and took a "lunch break"). On a good wicket they batted first and without trying to make any runs they were out for a poor 58. The first two wickets fell by the comp. playing on to the leg stump trying to glance the ball fine (this happens at least once EVERY game for me now - the first small "gliche" I have noticed), and 5 of the other 8 wickets were caught by the third man (the comp. playing the same shot over and over...). After 10 overs they were 16 for 2 (pacing is sorely missing)..................AI is very poor (not to mention you are doing something wrong if you can't get all the tail enders out with successive balls). Thats a massive problem with the one dayers and drags the overall score for the game down somewhat........I also suspect the developers had a "run out gliche" (like EAs cricket 2004), which they fixed by stopping the computer controlled batsmen running anything that was well timed to the boundary fielders (even though you can yourself easily run a single in the same circumstance). You can't just ignore that there is a programming issue there....... [/QUOTE]
