[Rohan495]

[Rajiv]

damn, I thought game was actually out

IPL patch is out for cricket 07 - thanks to planetcricket members http://www.planetcricket.net/forums/showthread.php?t=41644

[Kartikey]

Nah, I hope someone like Codemasters make it. All the Cricket versions r average, the BLC series is way better. The only thing would be to get the licences.

damn u reading the thread title, i thought it was going to get made

[Dravid]

yea, those guys at planetcricket have made the IPL patch.. try it.. its cool...

If EA sports made a IPL it would just end up being an eye candy with no gameplay whatsoever, highly priced, as rubbish as the titled they have brought out so far. Codemasters are no good at it either. Their recent Brian Lara cricket 07 game is a good example of how much the game makers take the cricket gaming fans for a ride. There hasn't been a single cricket game that has been even half decent so far. The EA sports 1995 Ashes edition, Shane Warne cricket 99 by codemasters and Cricket 2004 are the only worthy titles so far. Unfortuantely even those games wear out very soon and have no shelf life.

Ravi, EA cricket 2004 was actually a good game for its time. It looked nice. Played good (even if we have only 8 angles to hit the ball in) and with the patch , it made the AI better. Spent countless hours in it. But the last 4 years have been horrible, whether it is EA or codemasters. Its painful to watch esp since the analog stick give 360 degree control of a game.

Post cricket 2004 EA has produced some rubbish titles. Cricket 2004 was probably the best after the AI patches and the swing was introduced. Unfortunately EA tightened some of the stuff but introduced heaps of bugs in the next few versions. :angry_smile:

It probably wont come out but if it does, it wont be for about 4 years

Why wasn't EA cricket 07 on the xbox 360?

Right on. International Cricket Captain is the best cricket game ever made by a long, long way.

ICC is not that bad but that also wears out given there is not much action in terms of involvement. All we get to chose is the line and length of the bowler. The bowling though is never quite as you selected. Similarly in batting even though you get to select the aggression level the game has its own mind. Doesn't matter what field setup you select the game just ignores that. It's a good management game and can thrill at times but can't keep a gamer's interest for too long. I've had some good times with the ICC titles but can't say it is one of the better games. Irrespective of your tactics the game has it's own mind simply because it is a simulation game. The results are calculated based on the numbers against each player in the team and not on the ability of the gamer. Still a decent title to have and is way better than the likes of Cricket 2007, 2005, ricky ponting titles and the rest.

Its great fun in buying/selling and trading players

Even though the games are crap, we should give credits to whoever helped in making and releasing this patch. Way to go fellows !

[Rajiv]
