The best feature of Cricket 07 was improved player control and easy stroke play. Introduction of Ashes section was also an attractive feature. There was also an addition in commentary department as Mark Nicholas had joined Richie Benaud.Despite of very easy gameplay, certain flaws were quite predictable. Play exhibited by PC was so lethargic that even if the PC needed 20 runs of 4 balls, it would exhibit a defensive play which was frustrating for the controller.
Some flaws in the gameplay include:
- Decisions of Umpire are horrific particularly the wide balls and the lbw decisions.
- Fast bowlers like Brett Lee and Shadid Akhti can consistently bowl at 160 km/hr.
- Controller can run even after ball hits the stumps (in an unsuccessful runout attempt) and the extra run taken is counted.
- When the ball hits the pads of batsman, falls in front of the wickets and batsman attempts a run; wicketkeeper doesn't move, rather a fielder from short thirdman comes to pick the ball. In the means time run is successfully completed.
