Which is better.
I have played EA Cricket 2005 full game & BLIC 2005 demo.
I found both to be dissapointing at the first sight.

But both games seems to have their + & - points.

EA Cricket's has great player & stadium details.The player faces for lisenced teams are so real.
Whereas the players in BLIC looks like famine struck people starved for some days.

See Glen McGrath in both the games:

The only thing I liked in BLIC is the hawk eye & also it's commentary.
EA has made Riche Benaud so boring to hear.

Many say that BLIC's gameplay is better so the game is better.
But graphics should also be taken into account.EA sure has an edge over BLIC in graphics.

Digit rated EA Cricket 2005 a 5/10 whereas it's compatitor rated it 3/10 & BLIC 8/10

What do u guys feel about both the games?

I think at the core, both games suck. EA because of shoddy gameplay which makes the game dull and uninteresting and BLIC because of the poor graphics. However, if I had to pick a favorite between the two, I would pick BLIC simply because of the much better gameplay. At least BLIC is fun to play!

Now if only someone could combine the best elements from both games and release a cricket game :p

Codemasters needs a big revamp... only putting in hawk eye and new commentary won't make the title sell.. you need graphics in this world today which ea has improved with every title...

Right off the assembly line
"how to hit a six in Ea cricket 2005??plz tell in details"

keep one of your finger on the left shift key all the time wether u are playing or it is a cut scene,and play the game normally and forget about the shift key .timing is important other wise u can miscue the hit to the fielders

They have the original names only for ICC lisenced tournaments like ICC Champians trophy & ICC World Cup.If u want to play a normal ODI match or a test match u get fake names.

both the games are hopeless
both the design teams gotta pull their socks up and work on the games
can't believe EA's oversight...
Sachin with a moustache lol
the error could have been pardoned if it was some player like Nkala, Obuya or someone but of all people Sachin...amazing!!

anyways anything they create can't match the actual game on the field

I'd say BLIC is less worse than EA 05.
My ratings:
BLIC :- 4/10
EA 05:- 3.5/10
Cricket games never were, are or will be good in terms of graphics and gameplay. Firstly there isn't a market for it (legal one), secondly these guys from Canada don't know a thing about laws of this beautifal game. So don't expect cricket to be anywhere near as good as FIFA in the near future.

usmayur - you are correct. They should consult programmers and cricket specialists from Asian Countries where Cricket is a passion. I think some Indian Company should take initiative in coordinating either EA (easy to do) or Codemasters to develop a good Cricket game. Maybe EA would be a good choice because they have capability to give some cool graphics and can put good gameplay also(look at FIFA 05).

I still feel EA's cric is better.

Players look crapy in BLIC,also no autoplay,so graphs like wagon wheel ,spider,run rate graph etc.In BLIC the 3rd umpire desition looks stupid & unrealistic.

The hawk eye too appears only when it wishes & not when we want to see it.

BLIC installation was very annoying too.
It's comes in 6 CDs.Each time next CD is inserted,we have to insert the first CD once again for it to check.

Then after installation..the game won't work in Windows XP for come AGP cards.
So some fiddling around with compatability modes..and then ur there.

EA Cricket 2005 was very simple to install & run.
