Hey.

In light of the recent test series WI v ENG, I have been thinking about some of the things that could maybe be improved with the game.

1. More statitics that can be accessed - for instance, they showed James Anderson becoming the leading person in Tests without getting a duck. I know that's really obscure, but stuff like when a batsman hits a century something pop up that says

100* not out, 11th Test Century, 3rd against WI

So then you can see how good players are against different teams. For instance, Warne was rubbish against the WI in the WI, so he was dropped for 2 tests in the WI. Stuff like that could actually be really useful to know for international selection.

2. Again on the more statistics, something that when you view the Player Profile's, it would again be helpful to see stats against different teams. So like say if it was Essex vs. Worcestershire, and you selected Alistair Cook's profile, it would be handy to see his statistics against Worcestershire.

I do appreciate that it would take alot more statistical searching to get this stuff. But I really think it could improve the gameplay.

3. I think it would be handy to have Stadium names back. I remember on the old ICC games they had the stadium names, and I think it would be good to have them back now. And going back to statistics, it would be useful to know how teams have faired at different stadiums... not neccessarily county wise... but definately in the International game, for instance, England have a great record at Edgbaston, and it would be great to see statistics such as wins/losses, highest scores, highest total chased down... etc. etc.


Don't know whether they are feasable or whether others would want it as well.

I think number three would involve licensing from the counties to use their stadium names, which may get more complicated with grounds like Headingly-Carnegie, which are sponsored.

Unfortunately they lost the right to do stadium names in the newer games, not sure what the exact situation was but I know it is no longer possible.

Ah that's a shame.

I understand now. I reckoned there must have been a reason for it :).
Thanks for clearing that one up :)

Is there no chance of them doing fae names for them? Such as saying Nottingham Ground instead of Trent Bridge or something else similar to that?

Just use city names :)

There is data in the game relating to actual grounds, however it is incomplete and not actually utilised anywhere in the game. I think they just forgot to take it out from previous versions.

Well the grounds ingame are meant to reflect the real life grounds as Notts ground in game is exactly the same as the real life one.
