Dear Childish,
Thanks ever so much for bringing us the new game and thanks for all your hard work.
Im playing the demo and im suitably impressed at the smoothness of the gameplay.
The reason I won't be buying it though is this.
Im a stat man, and cricket is VERY stat orientated. Ive asked for the following things to be added and they are not.
I cannot play this game without stats being properly identified, I want the records section to be vastly improved and it hasnt since its conception. I am just not happy with the partnerships section at all. A top ten is just not good enough and this time you did not even open up a top wicket partnership for the different formats of the game. I want the game to resemble the Playfair cricket annual or even better the Wisden. I want top 10's for 1st wicket partnerships in county limited over and twenty20. Ill give you an example.
County Championship 1st Wicket Partnerships v Lancashire
1st Key & Denly 134 2010
2nd Key & Denly 88 2011
3rd Key & Northeast 80 2010
4th Northeast & Denly 40* 2011
etc
I want top individual scores v Counties in different formats and highest of all
Twenty20 highest scores overall
Key 89 v Somerset 2010 Final
Stevens 88 v Middlesex 2010 Group
Denly 81 v Middlesex 2010 Group
Etc
The same with bowling etc, etc, etc.
I think I you can gather what im getting at.
Another thing is sortable stats, surely if I click the colunm of a stat for example wkts it should reorder the list into the most running down sequentially.
A good example of how stats are recorded excellently and also one of the reasons I play the game is OOTP 11 (Out of the Park Baseball.
Call me a whiner but I love my cricket and personally I would do away with all graphics to get a much better stats and records section. I dont know if Im the only one, and if I am Im sure it won't get changed but Im afraid its a total selling point for me now. I would greatly appreciate some feedback on this.
Please keep going with your development of the game though. I just want to get emmersed in the game big time, Im nbot keeping paper records anymore.
Regards
