Something for the "Flintoff has to start producing" merchants

[Richie Benauds Love Child]

Biggest glitsch on the PC version is often when ever a batsmen goes for full blooded cover drive he's caught and sillymid off nearly every time, or delicate waft dwon to third man is always caught behind. Not unfortunatly on the pS version.

Yes, I never got the PC version, which is just as well, otherwise I'd never EVER get a chance to waste time like this on the internet.

I occasionally turn on my play station, but really at 42 surely I could be doing something else, and that usually hits me before the Sony jingle has finished.

I did think BLC was a good game though. But to me it had the look of an unfinished game.

The first one I ever bought was Formula One 97. Every track and almost every advertising hoarding had different names on them. In BLC there's just two advertisers per ground. It sort of smacks of a game that's been hurried into production.

Which is a shame, because I think if they'd finished it properly it would've been excellent.

Used to **** me off that the bowler would miss the straight drive and then suddenly miraculously it was in his hands for the run out. Soon got wise to that one.

[Richie Benauds Love Child]

Never manged to run out anyone on my PC ever, and I'll give it a go at lunchtime from time to time.

Comments?

Here's another opportunity for a Flintoff "love-in."

I happened to notice that a "guest" was looking at this thread... I think it is particularly interesting that it was posted back in April... obviously before the season began.

Probably somebody has already updated the figures on this board, but I still think these stand another look.

No need to filter the stats, they speak for themselves, I have left his terrible start in Test Cricket unfiltered, the man just gets better by the game.

Well his career batting average has risen by 6.5 and his bowling has dropped by 5. Not bad for a summers work.

By George, I think we've got something here... I knew it was worth blowing life back into this thread.
