A new idea of game mode

I have a idea.
How about a single control mode?Specially in carrer mode?

I.e. instead of having a team to control, you control a single player.much like a RPG.

"Rise from shabby streets to greatest cricket grounds ever.From simple street tournaments of prize 1.0$ to millions in world cup.Rise your player the the hall of fame form worst in our community."

Sounds nice.Doesn't it

Here is the way one could implement it.

1.You get a random player generated by game.
It would have 3 qualities.2 skills and ability.
eg skills could include modifiers for batting bowling, fielding etc.
while ability would incude things like conc, fitness etc.

2.You start form street cricket.They are basic ground you play in our own backyard.(community parks, etc or a road typical Sehwag style)

3.As you play, the game analyses you and increases your stats in the areas you play nicely.

4.After some required skills set level is reached, you get promoted to state, then region, national and finally international.
At international level, the difficulty should be such that you have to play really good to remain in the squad.

5.To win the game, one should try to reach the hall of fame cricketers.

Also, In the beginning , selection of country could be made.
eg India - The most diifficult to get to international team, but if you reach there , it is easier to remain in the team.
Australia - The most difficult country in terms of retaing you.

In addns, you could play county cricket, on contratual basis.
Become adorable of fans to help reatain in the team.

I think if this mode is implemented nicely, it would become the biggest draw of the game.As the current games lack key element, i.e. personalisation,in the game feeling an dreplaybility.
This mode will really bring these 3 elements in the game.


Think about it.

It is a good idea, but with a few limitations.

Personally, I think it would be better to have club cricket than street cricket. Maybe variations depending on what country you're in.

That means an awful lot of teams need making - or you could have a set of random team names that get computer generated players with low abilities - different every time. You'd also need standard 'Village' ground that all your games are on.

From there, getting into county/state/whatever, then international cricket should be reasonably easy to implement, as long as you have the country add-on pack. Another thing is that you'd need reasonably intelligent AI selectors who would drop the right player to make room for you.

If anything, I think just stick with a one or two player mode where you control a game as one player or in a two player game one for each.

Manual fielding would be cool with this feature

I think it is a great idea, but...slightly out of the scope of this project...

however, it is something ive thought about and i think this kind of real career mode is something that demands a game devoted to it entirely...which is why if the TCP engine and release version does really well, I would consider making a game like this based on the TCP engine...it would be cool...

anyways, that's some time away, but yeah, i like the whole career mode thing...working your way up from club level etc.

good work.

LM

TCP WILL DO WELL.
THen maybe this mode will see light.
I really spend nights to work out this mode.
How knows? maybe I would myself make a game on it.With a little bit of TCP codes, if LM allows me that is

I always wanted to make a cricket game.Had thought a lot about how to implement it, but didn't have time.

Hopefully, I time is just one month away for me.

leo, u can implement this idea if u can make the game in management mode. In real mode the game would be very lengthy and after a while it would become a bit stale. But in management mode u can add a lot of things to it and make it one heck of a management game .. brilliant idea tho

What! I'm sorry but I don't even know what the 'Youth Cluster podcast' is!! Those lines are just... well, just ordinary lines. I haven't copied them from anywhere.
Don't know if I sound stupid but what is the 'Youth Cluster podcast'. I see that you have it in your signature.
