When hitting the ball, there is no physical connection between the bat and the ball, its just animations mashed up together. Running between the wickets is simple, you click to run, but you can’t cancel your run. The game lacks any form of rag doll and physics. I don’t mind this mechanic, that’s if it works well because in this case, it doesn’t. The game then automatically decides which shot you’re going to play. You choose the direction where you want to hit the ball, and then whether you want to play a lofted shot or a grounded shot. Disney claims to have 50 different shots in the game whose animation has been motion captured.
Talking about the batting, which works only with the mouse, is quite interesting, just like how bowling was. So now I question, is this really cricket because it really doesn’t seem so. So if the ball could have gone all the way to the boundary, the game doesn’t have any mechanic to accommodate this event. If you bowl a very wide ball which the keeper can’t catch, there is no mechanic for follow through (the ball going behind the keeper) and the game forces you to the next ball. At times, the bowler’s run up path was right through the umpire’s body. So turns out, there’s not really much depth in the bowling mechanics, and it gets predictable really, really soon. Not a bad idea, but sadly, no matter how many permutations of paths you try, the game dumbs it down to just three paths. If you’re bowling, you have to draw the desired path of delivery with the mouse, the speed of delivery depends on the speed of drawing the path. I played my first match after a brief training walkthrough that introduces the game’s mechanics, or lack there-of. The World Tour takes your team to each cricketing country for a tournament That’s understandable, because 50 overs take long, but I know as a fact that there are hardcore gamers who would love a 50 over game. So much for being the official Cricket World Cup game when you can’t even play a proper game of cricket in World Cup mode. If you want to play a 50 over match, you can only do so in the Quick Play mode.
Matches in these modes are limited to 5-10 overs. Modes offered in ICC Pro Cricket 2015 are World Cup, a Quick Play mode and a Career mode called World Tour. So there is no way to go to the menu and quit the game. Even the “ESC” key doesn’t work, meaning that there is no Escape menu. You can play with either the keyboard or the mouse as the game suggested, but the keyboard doesn’t work. That is what I hoped for, since this being the “official” World Cup game and all. Ah, the low-res 90s again.Įxcuse my sarcasm but to be honest, all these things don’t really matter, if the game is good and fun to play.
The menu buttons and images for the PC version are the same ones used for the mobile version, so on a high resolution screen they look blown up and massively pixelated. But this is 2015 and this is ICC Pro Cricket 2015, but props to the game for taking me back to a pre-25 years era. Remember Cricket Ashes 97? Yeah, those were the days.
Accelerate through the streets in in the roaring Need for Speed Shift and storm the beach in Medal of Honor Heroes 2 – how and where you play is up to you.Firing the game up for the first time, I noticed that there is no 16:10 or 16:9 resolution support in the game. Hit the pitch with football champion Lionel Messi in FIFA 14, or dominate in the world’s game with FIFA World Cup South Africa.
