Ashes Cricket 2013 (Cancelled)

[ashish]

really man cricket videogames are almost dead. i had first played graham gooch cricket on my 486 in 1995 then had to upgrade to pentium for cricket 97. Played every version released for PC till ashes 2009
it's shame that development is almost dead when EA departed. there 3 basic reasons cricket videogame not picking up
1. They are played in very limited countries (8-10) hence market is very narrow
2. Out of those 10 odd playing countries, piracy levels are pretty high (especially the whole indian subcontinent)
3. Developers find Cricket too complicated to code in the game perfectly. :tongue:

And to be honest, shitty Flash games that can played in browser are generally more fun than complicated full feature games on computer. At least that's my experience.

Watch 18th minute onwards, lol
Then there is ICC (international cricket captain) which is supposed to be a clone of football manager,releasing each year with nothing but squads updated since 2004.

I think the best thing about this game is the commentary. Man... I really miss the quality of umpiring from the days of Benaud.

Yup. In cricket 97, they used to put a real video of benaud commenting in between.

cricket 97 is the best cricket game ive played in terms of fun .. obv compared to today graphics back then were shit but gameplay was something else .. I remember me and my cousin playing series and how much fun we had .. narrow wins of 1 run , 1 wkt wow those were the days ...

Cricket 97 was fun. Simple game, no complications and a lot of fun. I remember making my family team, friends team, etc. Brilliant days those were. Will it work on Windows 8? I still have the disk with me.

I liked EA Cricket 2002. For me it was the best of the lot. Sometimes i found it to be way too realistic to make the batsmen even play at the ball, in tests. And with patches and stuff, people are still playing 07, since they are left with nothing.
