EA Sports Cricket 2005....amazing graphics

Whoa! Seems like the upcoming Brian Lara Cricket has made EA pull its socks up and get a good cricket game on the shelves. If these screenies transalte into the actual game, BLC will have real togh competition on its hand!

btw , how is it possible , ICC can only give licence of making a crick game to one company for a year , how is it possible that both codemasters and EA are using official crick teams and team member names . Licensing is the only reason that no publisher other than EA releases the official fifa and euro games (for every year they have to pay for licence) and for the same reason no other company can publish a WWE game other than THQ


but if its true its a good news.

Yea, the graphics look much better now. It will all depend on the gameplay now. Let's see which ends up being better-BLC or Cricket 2005. I think that neither of the companies has exclusive licensing which is why both are coming out with games in the same year.

screenies look cool.. but then as indyian pointed gilly is playin for england.. and a red ball can b used in ODI but then the screenie is a night match!!

Hi

Indyan

I used to visit crick2k2.tk

They screwed up us always.
Hope not this time.
BC99 is far better than EAcri 04

The shots look cool. Hope the gameplay is as good. EA should bring some new features for its Cricket title, like they got first touch control for FIFA 2005. That could make the game better.

whoa!!! the graphics are looking hot
hope the end product is good
especially the game play

I dont know why EA is concentrating only on graphic details.

From the screenshots we can only konw about the graphics.How can be get to know about gameplay,commentary,etc from just pictures.
We should wait and watch.

!!!

AWESOME SCREENSHOTS!WILLBE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR THE GAME

just 1 thing 2 say
ea sports and an AWSOME cricket game for me is::"THE BIGGEST JOKE OF THE CENTURY"(i like their fifa titles)

Don't believe what you see.Only the gameplay will decide the better game.

The game has Australian domestic competitions:

*www.planetcricket.net/files/cricket2005n1.jpg

awesome graphics. really superb

LOL ! Look at the crowd being clipped in the screenshot..
To the far right... That's an example of lack of commonsense...

The graphics haven't changed that much... Just the use of PS to make things glow and shadows...

And look at the trees... I don't think that they have changed the stadiums a bit...

yes ur right nikhil.. ther is not much enhanced gfx.. but then the first few screenies had gud graphics...

That's the usual marketing trick of Cricket by EA...

They provide really good looking screenshots first... But when U buy the game you get the truth...

Bugs , glitches and poor quality.... HB Studios sucks actually...

look at the scoreboard..everything 0.. come on by now atleast the scoreboard should look realistic with up to date scores ..

The gameplay experience has always been bad for me. Hope it is something better this time. However EA Cricket needs to develop a lot for it to achieve the realism of the FIFA series.

There are more screenshots at HB Studios *www.hb-studios.com/games.php
Also did u notice in the Australian domestic screenshot,white sight screens for ODIs with white ball.
A big bug!!

just two words ....Below Average


waiting for BLC 2005

Uhh....

They have no idea about cricket.

I think even Allan Border's Cricket ( the old dos game ) is better in gameplay.

EA claim that the developers have good cricket knowledge.

From an interview to Xbox World Australia :

Can we start off by asking about the level of Cricket knowledge that the development team has. Are they all from Cricket playing countries and if so, it must be a very diverse group of people! Whereabouts do they all hail from?
We have people from across the globe working on our latest Cricket title. While we all now live in Canada, we have people from England, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and India working on the game.

Lets see

there are only four cricket games that I have enjoyed in my life:

Allan Border Cricket
Cricket 97
Brian Lara Cricket
International Cricket Captain.

Cricket 2004 was a piece of junk, money wasted. Lets hope this time the EA Guys are making the game, not just marketing it - like they do for their FIFA franchise...

The screenshots are awesome, could have been better (look at player faces and compare them with FIFA players)...I dont expect much from the gameplay though.

international cricket captain 2002 rocked of all the cricket games i have ever played..wonder why empire interactive discontinued it.

Agreed

I totallu agree with you, buddy. I also miss ICCapt. very much

do not compare the cricket game of ea to its fifa game , EA's budget alloted for the fifa games is many times more then the budget they have fot their cric game . so dont hope it to be good as the football game. the fifa games make more money for them then cricket.

No excuse

How much funds they alocate to any series is the company's decision, but why shud their customers suffer? If they are making the investment, i believe they shud make something that is atleast worth their name.

The game is already relesed in Mumbai before releasing anywhere in the world.

One guy has posted screenshots in another forum.

screenshots are of the demo or the full version?

post the link, hope no one wod mind if its some competitors forum

how to play in the demo.i mean how there r 4 keys A S D W.how to use them and play forceful shot.plz help..

Why can't EA change the commentators? They are both so boring. Can't they introduce somebody like Tony grieg or Bob willis. The graphics seems pretty good though.

hi

well i played the demo. the graphics with all details are a lot better than the previous games. but there is no major difference in the gameplay. only slight improvement in gameplay. so now all hopes pinned on bLc 2005.

we want siddhu as commentator

Ok,I'll post screenshots.
It's from Cricket2005.org(planet cricket) forum.

BUT will it be guranteed that I wouldn't be banned.The mods are re very strict.They would ban me for advertising.
(bcos I'm a moderator at that forum)

screenshots

ok,here they are.

If u find these offensive remove them & spare me.

I'm 100% sure that EA did not release any screenshots.Also the demo has only Eng vs Aus.

One guys has got the game from Mumbai...where the store has sold the game before the release date.(Isn't it an offence he did to EA)

Here are the screenshots:

India vs Pakistan
