I remember buying cricket 07 on PS2 straight after watching Australia beat England 5-0 in the Ashes Series and wanting to recreate that experience in the game. Very fun game.

Haha ya we all did!

[@sadinukawsika]

What we need is a competitor to Big Ant's Cricket titles. As long as we don,t get that we can only be satisfied with what we have. Soccer fans have benifited a lot with having pes as fifa's competitor for a long time. Then only drastic improvments and the quality we expect as cricket fans can be met.❤

[@RahulRants]

Yes, competition is always the key! In any discipline

[@amitdec97]

Worst thing in Big Ant games is physics.. in almost all versions if you play square cut the ball will go for 6 on deep square leg..

[@MrSavvy-eo8cp]

Im sure Ea sports would earn profit if they release the game now. Bcoz indian gaming market has become large. 15 years before indian peoples are not into gaming. But now a days. Lot of peoples ready to buy and spend noney in the game. But they have to create the game as fully multiplayer in that case there wont be piracy issue

[@RahulRants]

That’s right, but personally I would never buy a sports game without a fully fledged offline career / manager mode!

[@Williplays25]

[@RahulRants]

I know! Couldn’t get all the clips in. EA 2005 was a fine game, I agree with you

[@amitdec97]

Considering EA and Cricket Boards point of view, Cricket games are good investment. EA earns more through other games compared to Cricket and Cricket Boards get more money through other things compared to a game..

[@cricketcrazy7524]

I hope they add a manager mode in the next game. Adding features like selecting your own squad for series and world cups ,switching teams and playing leagues along with international games.

[@RahulRants]

Yes, an offline manager mode is essential in almost every sports game. It adds so much replay value with unlimited seasons, player regeneration and what notl!

[@cricketcrazy7524]

@RahulRants exactly!!. Now that Im bored of playing almost every mode in the game. I usually make a tour with the Indian team and play it choosing my own squad . It's quite fun.

[@RahulRants]

@cricketcrazy7524 Yea, the game had quickly become outdated - feature wise. Have to try to make our own fun🥲

[@niravrasengupta7374]

I do feel that there needs to be a balance between bat and ball. Like a contest. Where bowlers can easily get wickets and batters can score runs when there is a bad ball to be put away.

[@RahulRants]

I don’t think anything should be easy. (Unless you are playing on easy difficulty). It should be as simulation based as possible. Work hard to get Wickets as well as runs

[@bhuvaneshkumar-w8j]

where did you get this 16:9 version of cricket 07 i also want it

[@RahulRants]

You can use certain apps to change resolution around. I am not sure if i am allowed to mention it here so just google it. Easy to find.

It is not available to buy officially anymore and I cant talk about any unauthorised methods here. Not allowed

[@abukhan6130]

Imagine if Ea games and big ant cricket collab and make an ultimate AAA title cricket game, with graphics and motion capture and attention to details like GTA 6 or RDR2. And big ant handling all technicalities of cricket, and they give us update every or every ICC trophy that comes, with new players, with all their motion capture, batting style, their weaknesses, bowling style, their weaknesses, stats, everything, make us think like real cricketer, real captain, to set field according to batsman, reading the pitch well, planning and everything else. IF this happens, this would be the most selling cricket game in the history of cricket video games. Fans would go crazy. But whenever i see if ea is making cricket game or not, i only gett disappointment and had to satisfy myself with cricket 24.

[@RahulRants]

@@abukhan6130 🥲it sounds great on paper. But as you know…

[@debjoymusic]

[@seedmenfd5788]

Can you make a short video on reverse swing in cricket 24? Whether it happens or not just after 35 or 40 overs in any random test match.

[@RahulRants]

Reverse swing option is not available in the game as far as I know. For that you need the option to see which side of the ball has shine, which one is rouged up. Cant see anything in the game for that

[@seedmenfd5788]

@RahulRants maybe maintaining the rough and shine side we can use the opposite side of the swing variety on the seam angle

[@RahulRants]

@ yea I havent yet perfected the seam angle thing in Pro Control. Will check

[@Deccani]

Beggar mindset didn’t want to buy the ONE game they actually wanted to play and did play, culprit is particularly majority of Indians. If they paid for it… we would have had yearly cricket game. Hopefully BigAnt has cricket 25

I think they might reconsider their decisions cause of recent populatity of cricket in US and other neighboring countries. What are your thoughts?? NFL is collaborating wit cricketers and cricket will be a part of Olympic Games in the near future

[@RahulRants]

Don’t think cricket is that popular in USA among locals. It is the Asian diaspora still watching the game there if you look at the demographics. In the end it will always come down, to the sale. Which will be difficult considering even now people are not in a position to buy games at ₹3000-4000 in subcontinent

[@HYKaninwal35]

@RahulRants if EA comes back then prices will drop due to competition people buy fifa because of the reputation ea built for it same will go with cricket brother.

[@RahulRants]

@Yadav.Harsh.Kaninwal All of EA sports titles are over priced though. Plus they concentrate more on money spinning online modes too which makes it literally pay to win. In the last ten years they have hardly done anything for offline modes, which is personally what I play. Almost all of EA sports games are now geared towards making more money from their online team building modes. For manager mode and offline gameplay in football I still prefer Master League of Pro Evo Soccer. Such class!

[@HYKaninwal35]

@RahulRants I have cricket 24 and my rig is pretty decent with rtx 3050 laptop series but man the game lags so much at even medium to low settings. And the OG codemasters works with EA. They have experience with games optimization and all pricing will not be a big problem as they have basics of cricket so they don't have to spend resources for basics. Games like dream cricket 25 follow EA path but they implemented it really good I would recommend it to you. The Indian market is going to boom and after the implementation of new laptop import policy the prices of hardware might drop and people then will invest in gaming.

[@Billioncompany786]

Playing Cricket 07 in the new computer seems really difficult as I faced many problems and weird framerate issues which wasn't the case in older PC. The best game is still the Cricket 07 but alternative options is Cricket 19 if you have newer PC as Latest cricket 22 & 24 is hardly an improvement and also is very difficult to play compare to Cricket 19 with an unfair ai.

[@RahulRants]

@@Billioncompany786 i am playing older stuff without any issues. You can google for solutions, plenty fixes out there. DBC14 and Ashes 17 will be my forever favorites as far as Big Ant games are concerned. I always go with slow and simulation than arcade type gameplay.

EA with cricket was bound to fall. Lets look at the stats of the countries that can afford the game at a rate which will help EA turn a profit. The countries that play cricket are England which is a football obsessed country so no chance for them to spend their quid on cricket, Australia a multi sport nation that doesnt treat cricket bigger than AFL or with nationalistic values that will make them buy it, New Zealand a rugby obsessed country now the problem with real cricket obsessed countries is (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh) that these countries are just too poor and their per capita income a century behind the aforementioned (UK, Aus, NZ) countries for their pepple afford the game and help EA sports turn a profit despite the massive following the sport.
