A lot of criticism has come in for the latest game in the EA sports cricket series during the releases in Australia and South Africa. The century stick - which is supposed to let you score round all 360 degrees of the ground - is reported by some players as not working properly because it only allows you to play in 8 lines along the radius of the ground i.e. a cover drive will always go into the same place. Another thing that has been noticed is an old bug from the Cricket 2004 and Cricket 2002 editions, which is in One-day internationals, bowlers are bowling more than 10 overs during an innings, which is against the rules of One-day International cricket. Or the Umpire signalling
an extra after autoplay.
It is also found that the Leg Before Wicket decisions are almost always incorrect, where many A.I. batsmen are trapped in front the wicket by the user's bowler (in User Vs CPU mode games) and the A.I. Umpire will not declare the wicket. Third umpire replays of run outs show the bat and in many cases the batsman himself inside the crease and yet the player is declared out. (Wikipedia)
