Forums - Nintendo Discussion - CRICKET WII - EA, Its happening

I'm happy a new cricket game is coming out for all my European and Indian friends, but no where do I see this as a Wii game, and based on EA's sporting games, I would expect an HD game. In the unlikely case this is made by EA Montreal, it would probably suck.

@mesoteto, Cricket shares many similarities to american baseball.

what is cricket--i mean i know what is is from just hearing about it but really what is the point?

*sigh*

 

basically, one team makes runs by batting (opponents bowl), then the other team chases down that target by reversing the roles. A coin toss decides who bats/bowls first.

Awesome. Wii cricket is a no brainer. Motion plus and balance board support is a must.

 

Balance board support? Really?

 

not confirmed but would be a definite plus.

 

Foot movement in cricket is very important.

 



the new 20/20 version of cricket is awesome. I am so looking forward to the next IPL



 

It is better to die on one's feet

then live on one's knees

So, I assume you will be simulating the runs using the Balance Board, eh? That would mean a lot of action indeed. I can also imagine the bowler running in place on the board to charge his throw.

hmm that would be quite tiresome, although a more proper simulation.

The bowling makes sense, although in real life a bowler would get a break after an over at least, here you run yourself dry.

 

Foot movement to the pitch of the ball is a good implementation imho



Awesome!!!!

I love a Jiminy Cricket Game!!

 

 

Wait... Wut?? ?What's that other cricket? A sport?? Really?

Sweet this better come to Wii...it's the game I imagined the most when the Wii came out! Heck I reckon is cricket is one of the reasons why THQ's Big Beachj Sports sold so well!

Oh boy I'm sure this will be a hit in the US. Good ups though, different strokes for different folks. Now can we get a serious hockey game!? I have done pretty much all I can do with NHL 2k9- it is fun, but so lacking.
