Product Description

Manufacturer's Description
With its fully licensed squads, groundbreaking Century Stick control system and more natural camera perspective, Cricket 07 will bring players the most immersive gameplay experience to date. Thanks to the groundbreaking EA SPORTS Century Stick control system, batting has become more intuitive, responsive and rewarding than ever. For the first time in a cricket game, players can enjoy full control over foot choice, shot, direction, power and timing, all governed through the use of both analogue sticks. A back or front foot stroke is selected with the left stick, and then shot timing and direction are judged with the right stick. Power is determined by how far the stick is moved a slight tap can nudge the ball for a quick single or a firm push can send the ball fizzing away to the boundary. Allied to new cameras that deliver a more natural behind-the-stumps batting perspective and a wider view of the field, cricket has never been so easily accessible. With embellished gameplay, a wealth of tournaments, genuine equipment and authoritative new commentary from Mark Nicholas and Richie Benaud, you won't experience cricket this authentic without donning whites and walking down the pavilion steps yourself.

Groundbreaking Control: Use the intuitive dual analogue Century Stick batting system to select foot choice, shot direction, power and timing. With button controls to loft shots and advance down the track, you're free to crack a full array of shots all around the wicket. Success with the bat also relies upon your batsman's individual skills, allied with his confidence level. A confident batsman maximises his potential to time his shots sweetly maintaining high confidence can make or break his ability to build a big innings.

New Cameras: Innovative views from behind the batsman offer a realistic batting perspective, and a reworked Broadcast camera gives you a wider view of the play for more authentic coverage.

Quickplay Cricket: Play cricket your way by setting your own pace. Crank up the game speed, ease back the difficulty setting and revel in the razzmatazz of Limited Overs or fully-licensed Twenty20 extravaganzas by playing a fast-blast match of hard-hitting sixes or slow the pace down, slide the difficulty up and steel yourself for a five day Test.

Greater Depth: A new picture-in-picture display with a shot timing gauge coupled with a running assistance indicator and radar help you make those snap decisions out there in the middle. On-the-fly Dynamic Field Positioning and Quickswitch bowling give you the ability to ratchet up the pressure on the batsmen by changing the field and the bowler's line of attack without a break in play.

Tournament Options: Lead this year's eagerly anticipated 3 mobile Ashes campaign Down Under, replay the legendary 2005 npower Test Series or unlock a stack of rewards by accomplishing Ashes challenges. Take part in the frenzy of the fully-loaded, fully-licensed English and Australian One Day blitz of extreme Twenty20 cricket, dive into a complete schedule of Australian State and English County tournaments, tour the world, win the World championship or compete for glory in Test matches and One Day Series games with all the top cricketing nations of the world.

Authentic Content: For the first time in an EA SPORTSTM Cricket title, renowned bat manufacturers Gray-Nicolls, Puma, Slazenger, Kookaburra and Gunn & Moore bring their weight of authenticity to the day's play. Relish the big game atmosphere with new broadcast visuals, wicket textures and astute new commentary from the masterly broadcast team of Mark Nicholas and Richie Benaud as you play out a nail-biter against the faithfully realised backdrop of a legendary international venue or a cherished domestic ground.

4.0 out of 5 stars Much better than previous editions, 15 Jun 2007
By P. DATTA "Pritthijit Datta" (Stockton on Tees, Teesside) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
Cricket 07 (PC DVD) is definitely a big improvement in terms of playability compared to previous editions of this game like 2005. Batting is considerably much easier, but still takes to get to grips with the controls. Once you get used to it, it is really fun and additive. Bowling is a relatively easier. The real experience of playing cricket within a virtual screen is created in your home. You can play your repertoire of shots (pulls, square drives, streaky edges), bowl in-swing yorkers, outswingers and do some outstanding catching. You can create players and participate in various tournaments. The graphics are great and the commentary is little repetitive and irritating at times. It is worth the purchase if you are a cricket fan. It is definitely much better, but you still require some degree of patience with this game.

4.0 out of 5 stars Certainly an improvement over 2005, 3 Dec 2006
By J. Carr "jackcarr7" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
While cricket 07 may not be the best cricket game around (Brian Lara 2005 still holds that accolade, I'm sure 2007 will be even better) its certainly a massive improvement over Cricket 2005. Batting and bowling are both better, the commentary is superior (feels like Channel 4 with Richie and Mark Nicholas) and its just far more fun than Cricket 2005, which always descended into frustration. The Ashes secanarios are nice new features too. There are still some annoying bugs, mainly with commentary, where the commentators just say totally the wrong thing, but overall a more polished game than Cricket 2005.

Worth getting, should keep you busy until Brian Lara 2007 comes out.

4.0 out of 5 stars The best cricket simulation so far, 1 Jun 2007
By Mr. M. C. Coombs "mattcoombs2" (Chard, Somerset, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
I was going to wait until the new Brian Lara game came out, but I found that my disc for cricket 2005 had become damaged, I needed a new game. So I bought this for myself. And I'm glad that my disc was scratched.

I have now played both the Brian Lara game and this, and I can say, with my hand on my heart, that this game is superior in nearly every way. The only advantage that I can see to the Brian Lara game is that is has online play.

This game has better graphics, more options on where you want to play I.E. world tours etc. Also the Ashes Scenarios are fantastic.

My only real problem with this game is that there are no real player likenesses. I do hope that one day you can buy a cricket game where every player has it's own unique trends, like the football/soccer games. As all the fast bowlers have the same action etc, its not perfect. But it's a damn sight closer than anything else.

3.0 out of 5 stars Still Not worth , But OK
EA Sports Cricket 07 is not at its best. I still prefer Brian Lara International Cricket 2007 which is going to be the best cricket game in coming March 2007.
