The cricket project

blackleopard92 · 23-07-2006, 12:36 PM

For those who don't know, The cricket Project (TCP) is a attempt by the community to make a cricket game which is worthy of playing, unlike the crap which is dished out by EA/BLC.
The game will have tremendous features, and many more can be added to them, if viable.Since the game is of community origin, it can be heavily modded.

It is slated to release in around 8-10 months time.

because the game is still in development, the images on the website aren't what the game would run like in full force, but some final renders of the game stadium have been released, which is how the game would appear in it's final state.

after looking at these pics, u can say that it's look good atleast.

However, the main reason of making the game is to bring the gameplay of cricket out on the PC, and graphics have taken a second priority.

The game is made by the planetcricket community, hence would be free.

visit their website and read their faq for more details www.thecricketproject.com

here is the list of features:
Cricket Project Features

Realistic physics. The cricket ball will move realistically. Many bowling deliveries will be possible, including reverse swing!

Realistic collisions. Perfect collisions allow you to know when you have hit the ball!

Statistics. Statistics will reflect real life in the video game. Each batting stroke and bowling delivery will be graded for each player! Tail end batsmen will be worse than top order batsmen, and the same for bowlers. Different bowlers will have different speeds that can be customised easily, so you could have a blindingly fast bowler but then it would be difficult to bat against!

All popular international competitions with correct rules.

Realistic celebrations for milestones, like centuries and wickets.

Ad hoc stats appear between deliveries.

Save statistics on permanent records so every match will count for the player's overall career!

Dynamic weather conditions and lighting effects. It may begin to rain and it will get darker throughout a day!

Dynamic new free camera. Adjust the camera to any position and save it.
Dynamic stadiums, crowds and pitches. The pitches play differently depending on location. They will also deteriorate throughout a match.

View replays of your favourite moments!

Need to go? Save the match and resume it later.

Autoplay allows events to occur without manual play.

Awesome batting includes many different strokes on the front and back foot.

Brilliant bowling. You can tell when different balls are bowled, for example, a Flipper will come on quicker than a Leg Break.

You can choose the people that will umpire your match from the official ICC panel.

Stadiums from all over the world.

Injuries will occur and players can retire hurt.

Presentations at the end of a match.

Design and play in your own competitions.

The events in a match are expressed through a range of statistical graphs.

The most customisable cricket video game ever.

Realistic gameplay.

The new One-day International rules and Twenty20 matches.
Play against friends online!

The extensive attention to detail includes the video game recognising a maiden half century or a first ever wicket.
