ICC Players Roster Outdated/Flawed "Once Again"

Same problem,

Notably in the pakistan squad where there is no abdul razzaq who was a key player in the T20 World Cup.
And no Mohd Yousuf.
Heck They even have Salman Butt and Shahzaib Hasan as wicketkeepers and Ahmed Shehzad as an all rounder.

And thats just the pakistani side of thiings,
must be loads of other amateur mistakes by the creators of this game in other squads.

and i thought the 2008 edition was bad with the squads

doesn't this just prove how its basically the same game being re generated each year?

Razzaq - Yes, he was fast tracked into the squad after he quickly pulled out of the ICL. Which is why it's wrong. He replaced an injured player, it happened all but 3 weeks ago, to close to release. I will check if we can sort this out for a patch.

Shahzaib Hasan - Played barely any cricket before the T20WC, CricInfo has him down as a WK, that is our main research centre.

Mo Yousuf wasn't in the T20 World Cup squad.

Ahmad Shehzad - agreed, got him confused with another player. (Problem occurs when you get others with same name)

Salman Butt I shall amend for the patch.

I noticed in the Sri Lankan and Bangladeshi camps some confusing first initials.

Although we all know they often have more than one first name, It'd be nice if they could all be relaced to their most familiar so I don't have to edit them all myself.

ie. B Mendis (Ajantha), K Saleh (Rajin), M Hasan (Raqibul), M Islam (Naeem), M Iqbal (Nafees), M Omar (Javed)

Can these be fixed in the patch as well?

I can't seem to find Mohammad Asif either.

Sureshot · 3rd July 2009, 06:25 PM

He isn't in the game (due to not playing in 2008) we are looking to add him for the patch. The computer won't select him for the Pakistan WC squad, but it is up to the user if they select him if they play as Pakistan, but that is their only game before his ban ends, anyway.

So far the NZ side seems to be a lot better. Vettori and Bond are now very good players. Guptill is the only disappointment so far but he might well start developing in a couple of seasons like Southee. Nice to see Kane Williamson as a good player he will certainly be in the NZ side in the near future.

Someone posted here on PC that IPL and Champion League would be included on ICC 09.

There are a couple of mistakes. Anaru Kitchen isn't an opneing batsmen, and Jono Boult is more of a batsmen then bowler I think.

Khurram Manzoor is an opener, and not listed as one in the game (he keeps getting slotted into my middle order)

Do you know how many false rumours I heard about ICC09 before it was released?

The same with Imran Nazir as well.

Also Abdur Rauf is listed as a wicketkeeper when in real life he's a fast bowler?

Hope not to drag up a dead topic here, but Shahzaid Hasan is an opening batsman, not a wicketkeeper. Although he played in the middle order in the Twenty20 matches, he opens the batting for his domestic club, and he also bowls a bit of off-spin as far as I know.

gambino · 19th July 2009, 01:03 PM

he opened in the t20 matches,
also no asif too,

and razzaq retires after just 2 more seasons when hes just 31 years old

Sureshot · 19th July 2009, 01:40 PM

Guys, we've patched twice, now. So it is a moot point.
