International cricket captain 2010

[the_trademarc]

how about a icc 2010 feature request page so people can discuss what they want on icc 10 properly just an idea

There's a few running around already, but Sureshot has said on a few occasions, they're still on 09, and when the time comes to start developing 2010 I'm sure they'll open an official thread

[the_trademarc]

well icc could just do that give it a differnt name

But doesn't that show desperation to introduce passing fads as opposed to reflecting real life as much as possible?
I think a more interesting aspect to work on is perhaps introducing the World 20/20 (not that I support it) every two years, and also, the Champions Trophy?
Never seen that in ICC.

An option that lets you tell the batsmen which areas to hit shots.

An option that lets you tell the batsmen which areas to hit shots.

That cannot happen since batsman will decide himself the appropriate shots to play against each delivery.If we had to decide which shots to play then there will be no difference between cricket game created by EA Sports and by childishthings,where we will have to manually play each batsman.

An option for Retired out. This could be useful when we are playing tour matches and need to give other batsmen a chance to bat.

[zeduck]

The % of tour matches is a tiny fraction of all the matches you will ever play.. just stick your batsmen on full agression and he may get out :P

[mclaren007]

i think average test match per season is around 14

but odi are just 20 ??

it should be atleast 27-30

what about boycott by players in wi & zim thats rare but that happens

probably introducing minnow team & their qualify tournaments & roas to test status

there are not much stats about strike rates & captaincy records ,youngest player ,odi caps, test caps

[qaisfarooq]

it may not be feasible to have a batsman select which area he intends to target... but how about providing a toggle/button where you can instruct batsman to hit in the air as much as possible, to take advantage of fielding restrictions specifically...

re bowlers, how about having the option to repeatedly bounce a batsman or repeatedly have a bowler try and bowl yorkers (at the end of an innings)... how often a bowler gets that right obviously depends on his rating / skill...

I like it as a possible bowling line/length option.
And you can perhaps add a training option for this sort of bowling.

I think this is a very valid and feasible idea. Good work!

[the_trademarc]

Also what about having a fluctuating 'in' level? That is, a batsman's 'in' or 'confidence' level is altered/decreased when he is beaten repeatedly, or if subjected to a series of short pitched bowling. Or even if he is out of form, maybe take him a little longer to get 'in' and into his innings?

I think we should be able to take jobs at another county or be sacked, It would make you try and win more

An online County Champ would be good as well

IPL & other domestic comps. A Team tours. More filters in databases. An editor.

i know some of these have been said but my wishlist for 2010 would be -

more leagues (aus/inda etc)
more international teams - example the minor nations still compete against each other. why not include them and have the chance to develop them into stronger teams
maybe have a page which show world record scores or performances etc i know there is already a page for this but there is potentially so much more to add (i know that sounds confusing probably)
more manger elements (hirings/firings able to move teams etc)
it may sound a simple one but i would love to see ground names (ie playing matches at lords)
maybe (to tie in with manager element) have an assistant who can advise you on club matters

i have more but those are the main ones that i can think of for now

Leagues- being worked, not guranteed
More Int Teams- too difficult to create FC databases for the likes of Kenya, Ireland, UAE, etc. There is not enough known about the quality of the lower level to replicate a good regen engine for these teams.
Statistics- can never have too much. I'm sure they will look into adding further pages
Manager Elements- maybe, but how often do we get mid-year sackings? Short Term contracts may be good, but I'm not sure how it will be incorporated into the current engine.
Ground Names- comes back to legal rights. ICC do not have the rights to use the names of the grounds, so I don't think we will see this in the near future.
Which is disappointing because it was in previous versions, but thats life now; everything has legal ramifications

I think there needs to be the option to have the keeper standing up to medium pacers.

There need to be more batting options e.g. strike rotation - keeping singles ticking instead of trying to hit 4s. charging down the pitch to spinners as an option or against quicks in one dayers and 20/20. Batting is too one dimensional in the 4/5 day game; just gradually increase aggression as players settle - more can be added to this part of the game.

There is a degree of skill in bowling - editing fields, line and length etc. Think there needs to be the option to bowl the odd variation ball (cutters, slower balls, different types of swing etc). The ability of the bowler could determine the success of this.
