Cricket 2005

**Team Sheep** · 07-03-2005, 06:18 PM

Anyone got this? I'm thinking of getting it but I think it's one of those things that EA could either make it a really enjoyable game, or fuck it up really bad.

If EA Cricket turns out shit, there's a new Brian Lara game coming out.

**Disturbed316** · 07-03-2005, 06:34 PM

Cricket has to the worst sport to turn into a game.

**Mike the Metal Ed** · 07-03-2005, 06:37 PM

The original Brian Lara Cricket was really good.

**Wengerland** · 07-03-2005, 07:23 PM

I'll probably pick up the new Brian Lara one, i've been playing the old one a lot recently but Michael Atherton is in it.

Didn't notice Cricket 2005 in the shops.

**Bad Company** · 07-03-2005, 08:41 PM

2005 is alright, I've been playing it a tad, but rugby 2005 is the way to go

**Cuzziebro** · 07-03-2005, 11:08 PM

Id say. Rugby 2005 os the best. I have Cricket '04 and that isnt that good but maybe '05 will be. Also has anyone played Ricky Ponting Cricket?

**Gonzo** · 07-03-2005, 11:24 PM

I fucking let some kid borrow my god damn Rugby '04 or whatever and the bastard graduated high school, haven't seen him since. Fucker made off with my game after I had only had it for a week.

**Gonzo** · 07-03-2005, 11:24 PM

Fun ass game too. Mother fucker.

**Bad Company** · 07-04-2005, 01:34 AM

rugby 05 is 19048239875378965348956 times better than 04, get it!

**Cuzziebro** · 07-04-2005, 07:11 AM

Bad Company do you use Fiji at all in Rugby 2005? I think they are a real good team on the game.

**Wengerland** · 07-04-2005, 09:23 AM

Yeah i need to pick up Rugby 2005, 2004 is decent i guess.

They should do the same thing as with Brian Lara cricket, make a new Jonah Lomu Rugby game.

**Gonzo** · 07-04-2005, 12:29 PM

Yeah I had also heard Rugby 04 was terrible in comparison to 05. I'll have to check it out.

**Team Sheep** · 07-04-2005, 02:08 PM

Rugby 2004 is like playing on a PS1 game, the graphics are that bad. And some of the developers probably don't even know the rules of rugby. For instance, if you kick for goal off a penalty and it's too short and it's still in play, they go back for a kick off half way if I remember correctly. I've had Rugby 2005 for a while however, and it's really good.

Apart from the fact that the London Wasps are the only licensed British team on the game.

**The Mackem** · 07-05-2005, 09:39 AM

I've been playing this game on my lunch damn addictive:

**The Mackem** · 07-06-2005, 08:39 AM

Watch out for them slow balls

**Disturbed316** · 07-06-2005, 11:06 AM

Damn you Mackem, I'm hooked

**The Mackem** · 07-06-2005, 01:04 PM

yeah I can't get past the semi final though

**Disturbed316** · 07-06-2005, 04:07 PM

Cant get past the first round

Are there all the same British club sides in it?

Just want to make sure the Tigers are.

When you say they're not licenced (assuming they are still in) does that mean fake names or anything aswell?

They include all the British clubs that were in the Heineken Cup last season (04-05), and all the names are the same apart from Harlequins who are called Richmond

But yeah all the names are the same, and the kits look pretty much the same, it's just the club badges that aren't there really.
