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, , 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 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.
