Almost every time the fielder dives for a catch it will stick in his hands while on almost half the occasions of a simple lob catch the fielder will put the catch down. Some of the bugs that I’ve seen in 20 hours game time, as well as their frequency, are as follows:ġ. Program totally freezes during a match (three times)Ģ. Sound glitch creates repeated commentary phrase (twice)ģ. Only middle stump is visible for remainder of innings (5+ times)Ĥ. Sound drops out completely part way into match (twice)ĥ. Sound goes to a constant buzzing sound (once)Ħ. Incorrect calculation of current run rates (all matches)ħ. Delay between action on screen and sound effects (5+ times)Īnother inconsistancy with the game is the catches. Sadly, Cricket 2002 is the most bug-ridden console game since Mortal Kombat Trilogy on PSOne.
#CRICKET 2002 PS2 MOVIE#
No, not the kind found in the movie Starship Troopers, but the kind that causes software to do some very strange things. One minute you will be looking at the perfect yorker (where the ball bounces right at the batsmen’s foot) and then the computer will suddenly move the target all the way over leg side, lock it in and with no option to cancel the bowlers run-up you cost the team 3 or 4 wide runs. Worse still is that if you aim the target anywhere over the crease the computer sort of deflects it to somewhere else on the pitch, often just as the bowling target is about to be locked in. Just touch the analogue stick and your aim will move all the way from leg side to off side. Moving the target around the pitch is extremely sensitive. The first problem is the bowling system used in the game. While the game is a lot of fun there are some pretty big disappointments that should have been eliminated prior to release.

You also have the selection of manual or automatic fielding with either one being suitably implemented.

EA Sports Cricket 2002 gives you full control over your teams lineup, the posistion of your fielders and order of your bowlers. While bowling you aim the ball using the analogue or digital sticks and then also use the direction control once again to control the spin or amount of seam on the ball. By pressing the L1 button you perform a more powerful shot with more hope of scoring a four or six however it also often skies the ball making your dismissal a lot more likely. While batting the four buttons corrospond with an attacking stroke (circle), defensive stroke (triangle), standard stroke (X) or to leave the ball (square). The game modes and tournaments are varied and include the World Cup, World Series, Sharjah Trophy, Practice Nets, Test Matches, Exhibition matches and Knockout Tournaments.Įlectronic Arts promised simple and intuitive controls through the Dual Shock 2 controller, and for the most part they have succeeded. As you would expect the game includes all the players from around the world thanks to licenses from the ACB, ECB, NZ Cricket and the South African Cricket Board among others. The game includes the 10 official international teams, 2 minnow teams (Bangladesh and Scotland who are on the verge of inclusion into the Cricket world), and 5 all time squads from the cricketing nations which have to be unlocked. With constant delays from the inital September/October release date concerns were starting to build about whether the game could live up to lofty expectations.ĮA Sports Cricket 2002 is fairly well packed with features. The game has actually been developed by HB Studios in Canada, with EA’s Studio Oz on the Gold Coast overseeing testing of the game. Unfortunately, digital versions of the sport have been few and far between but Electronic Arts have been kind enough to develop Cricket 2002 for the PS2. It’s the gentlemans sport, and one which has been played for well over a century now. Hence the list at GameFAQs is obsolete (and not, unlike what some think, complementary).Īsterix & Obelix XXL2: Mission: Las VegumĪvatar: The Legend of Aang: Into the InfernoĪvatar: The Legend of Aang: The Burning EarthĬapcom vs.If you’re an avid sports fan living in Australia, England, South Africa, or much of the sub continent then you probably spend a good deal of your summer months enjoying either playing or watching cricket.

Lots of additions (and more than a couple corrections) have been made since then as a result of personal testing and SelectButton community contributions. Note: to make this list, the PlayStation 2 60Hz Compatibility Guide at GameFAQs was taken as a base.
