Cricket 07

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

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.
