Lara or EA

Now that the Ashes has put me in the mood for some cricket the question is which game to get, EA Cricket 2005 or Brian Lara International Cricket.

Has anyone played either of these? Which one is the best one to go for?

I heard the EA one is crap. Dunno about the other!

Re: Lara or EA

I'm sort of swaying towards the EA one because it has national teams and the 20/20 cup etc, Lara only has international teams.

I may buy both and flog one on Ebay.

Re: Lara or EA

i have played both games and i can say that brian lara international cricket is the best out of the two, the way that bowlers ball and batsman react is extremely authentic as well as how shots are played.

its not buggy like the EA game is :erm:

Better yet, get both in game and then return one for no charge under there 10 days return policy :tu:

I have the EA one on the xbox and it is very hard to bat (i dont know about the PS2 and Pc versions). I would go for Brian Lara because it is easier to play, although the graphics on the EA one are slightly better.

Bought both tonight. Got them in game and the girl mentioned the 10 day return so I'll play them for a few days each and then return one.

HHMMM big problem with Lara, teams don't chase runs in the ODI's. They play it like a test match, they don't get the quick single when its available. Makes it really easy to beat them.

I think I'll keep both games, Lara to play test matches on and EA to play ODI and 20/20.

Re: Lara or EA

i find batting almost impossible on test status in lara, i dunno what i am doing wrong though, should I press the direction in the same way as the ball is going ?

Re: Lara or EA

Press the direction where you want the shot to go. What is your timing like? Are you moving in the crease?
