Well I said before that I'm excited for a cricket game and all, but too many gimmicks (button presses for soft shots etc) take away from the true feeling I hoped for, that can only be possible through WM+.

I'll take what I get though.

uhh, is this old news or something?

I wouldn't expect to many comments on this one for the next 5 days, being as all true fans are concentrating on the Ashes.

I am just concerned about the release date, another month away, and I am gripped by Ashes fever

Anyway, the issue with WM+ is that you can't watch the ball onto the bat, so you can't really do a genuine cricket sim, and you would get bloody tired in a test match

hmm, i always thought they would treat it like tennis/baseball where you use a guide as to where the batsman is, then play accordingly. Yea it'll be difficult to accurately measure an 'edge', but they can compensate with how late/early you are into the shot.

No point if WM+ isnt supported.
