another think thats got me today was that i wwas playing with my tailenders they stayed onto the pitch for little long and when they opend the attack they were totally fresh so that colud be changed. like they start with tired bowling and can go for runs as they start tired.
there should be an option of a 6 hit button. fo example when you are in strong posotion in odi t20 ur batsmen should try hitting sixes and when about to declare in test or one is very settled.

I guess he just wanted to name a team there.

If not, he has some screws to be fixed up. Readers, Kashmir is as much an Indian state as your country is your motherland.

add a feature like if a player is injured and injury is not serious you have an option to bring him bak if computer squad is picked and a major plyr is out for less time he should get picked same apply for home series like plyr is out for i day.....
autoo select team according to pith. create a plyr

[afridi118]

few features i think would be good will be like when a player is injured and the injury is not serious there should be an option to let him bat or dont send him if u r winning. create your own player would be a good option.
and one last one is that there should be an option to auto select your team whent you dont no what to do, like if the pitch is spinny auto elect option will get a team according to pitch.

When does it look like coming out ?

Just something with Kolpak players which may or may not be correct... I've noticed that Kolpak players never end up qualifying to play for England. Additionally, I haven't played the game long enough to find out 100%, but it seems that there are no Kolpak regens, and no current players ever become Kolpak players etc.

(EDIT: More broadly, having dual nationalities etc. might be considered. It just popped into my head when considering Brendan Nash, the Queensland batsman who was just recently selected by the Windies.)

Couple of other things which may well have been mentioned... the ability to quit and apply for jobs (internationally and domestically). Additionally, more detailed player histories: even only a little more detailed. It would be nice to be able to look back and see which clubs they'd played for in their career. At the moment, the only historical data available is the year they'd been capped and their performance in the previous year.

When you think about it there has actually been a fair amount of change since ICC 2006 (only 2 years):
-New Graphics (the old ones were pretty pathetic, these new ones are much nicer)
-Overhauled engine in many ways, ones that may be less visible but changed the way the game runs, batsman aggression, bowling success and many other variables. The game certainly plays differently to the way it did 2 years ago.
-New indepth training options
-New presentation
-Ability to play for a county team and your own international side instead of just England.

For a relatively small management game, I think that's not bad in a couple of versions. I'm also sure I've missed some, those are off the top of my head.

And as for new leagues, I am certainly one who wants to be able to play my own league's competition, as I'm sure many people will be.

Rest assured though, new leagues is not Chris's primary focus and they are not certainties, for he wants to spend most of the budget for next year's game on improving the game engine.

So is what you are saying, that the game will essentially be a re-hash of the old game with an "updated database" and some new foreign leagues in order to make more money....maybe we could save up and get a patch!?

[Sureshot]

Any business should always look to venture into new target markets. Of which are huge in Asia.

[G1inger]

It is interesting to see that it would appear the focus for the game is on including new leagues.

Is the core buyer of this game actually going to give a stuff about playing in the Sheffield Shield or as Rwalpindi. I very much doubt it, i think the core gamer is going to want to see all the silly little logic errors removed and some decent new functionality. Apart from a few shiny new graphics, there has been nothing new in years, other than a database "update" in which Adam Shantry takes over the world...

I like to see six regional teams for Pakistan domestic competition. I dont want to see departmental teams in Pakistan's domestic competitions.
1. Punjab
2. Sindh
3. NWFP
4. Federal Area
5. Baluchistan
6. Azad Kashmir

You can if you want, I'm telling you that he is looking into getting some of those leagues as well. I don't myself know exactly which ones he wants, but I know generally which are in the equation and those are included.

[muhammad saad]

Some Asian leagues is a distinct possibility.

So tell me should I ask him or not?
