WCC has never looked so good. Yes, the usual minor complaints are here in terms of absolute realism (too many fours and sixes, an AI that's perhaps too good, etc.), but the range of bowling options and batsman shots ensure that no game is ever quite the same and there's definitely a 'one more game' addictive quality here.
Getting started up - as of 2013, there are now three 'modes' to play in, each with different team sets/settings....
All player names and types can now be full customised....
Stumpings are now part of the simulation.... better get that bat down!
The yellow marks, as always, indicate roughly where the ball's going to pitch...
One of the TV-style replays, in this case seeing if the batsman was run out!
There are now analysis graphics, just as you'd see in modern TV cricket coverage...
Here's another...
... and another.... each adds to the atmosphere that you're watching something on TV as well as playing a part!
Replays of any wicket, four or six are always entertaining, with action cutting seamlessly from various angles...
Each of the TV-style elements can be turned on or off...
