  • What's inside All Out Cricket - June 2013

    There was an announcement on ICC's FB page a week ago that All Out Cricket magazine's June issue will have an exclusive preview of the ICC 2013 game.I checked today and the June 2013 edition of the magazine is out.Has someone got his hands on it?It's not available here in India,so I,and other non-UK fans,would be pleased if anyone could summarize what's given in the magazine.
    Waiting eagerly for ICC 2014.

    No idea - and it seems it's £17 to find out (the smallest subscription to AOC is this for 6 months) As I've seen no-one here, Facebook or Twitter talk about it I can only assume no-one has ponied up the money.

    I'd like to see this new interface (hope it's less "Junior Angler" than the last). More like FM or OOTP.

    Lots I'm looking forward to this time - but some level of pro-active PR that doesn't involve forking out £17 for 6 month sub to a magazine I don't want might be nice.
    The continued lack of stats in ICC is not so much the elephant in the room - as the Brontosaurus in the bathtub.

      Still nothing on the AOC website?, twitter or facebook, I am not paying £17 to get a preview of the game, I have bought every ICC game since the first version, you would have thought the first look at the new game would be on here....marketing I suppose!.

        PR can be a good thing sure, but I have to wonder if there's a better way to do it than to have exclusive information in a magazine that I can't read unless I (as an Australian) shell out 2-3 times as much money as the game will cost me to get my hands on it... I suppose the answer is just to be patient and wait for it to come naturally... Regardless, very much looking forward to the release of the game in July (as per the Facebook page update, odd that they don't seem to be announcing that kind of thing here too...)!

          Release date announced on FB Page.
          And there's surely a preview of the game in the magazine,as they have also shared a link to that issue.

                    Hope for devs sake it's not after. Might as well wait till next year if that happens. Football season restarts between 4th and 5th test. At that point cricket here in the uk struggles to get a look in anywhere....ashes or not.

                      The whole point of PR is that you build excitement around the GAME so that people get revved up to buy it... not around a magazine that only people who read that specific magazine could get excited about. By restricting it to one source only, you're missing out on other customers, which shouldn't be what a game company should be aiming for. You don't see other game companies attempt this sort of thing; at least it's on several other online websites at the same time.

                          Is the preview going to be on the AOC website?, I read somewhere that it was.

                            Sorry - I've been here and sites like Planet Cricket and no-one seems to have seen the preview from the UK.
                            The cross over from AOC and CC seems minimal or there are strict embargos on reporting the preview. Either way, from what I can see, no-one the UK knows anything either. Sorry

                              AOC generally post articles on their website a week or two after publication, we're expecting something this week.
