You all must have heard about Stroke for EA SPORTS CRICKET 07.
They have put in lots of efforts and have been released in the past for this Revolutionary Game of Cricket. This Tutorial that describes you how to make stroke for EA SPORTS CRICKET 07, or probably making stroke in EA SPORTS CRICKET 07 for beginners only. For professionals, you already know this and rather do scratch making! You may also create your very own custom stroke also.
Made a small breakthrough with editing the strokes files
It soon became clear that editing the saf files within the 4308....big files makes no difference in game. Therefore extracted all the xml files from within the data.gob file and found that 95% of these relates to the strokes
Bad news is that there are over a 1000 files
Anyway decided to concentrate on editing the straight drive. There are 3 straight drive files:
shot15.saf
shot15c.saf
shot15d.saf
Shot15.saf is the main file used in game (in previous versions anyway)
Its attributes within the saf files are:

Strangely I found 10 instances of this stroke in the XML files, namely:

This section easily relates back to corresponding values in the saf file
However I will attempt to explain my findings so far with the other values:
Lets look at the section for normal strokes
<Normal>
<StartZone Yaw="-2.769" YawRange="12.920" Pitch="-47.028" PitchRange="0.000" MinPower="16.423" MaxPower="18.565" />
<EarlyZone Yaw="-2.769" YawRange="12.920" Pitch="-40.322" PitchRange="0.000" MinPower="16.349" MaxPower="22.379" />
<IdealZone Yaw="-3.439" YawRange="11.579" Pitch="-26.911" PitchRange="0.000" MinPower="16.540" MaxPower="26.194" />
<LateZone Yaw="0.000" YawRange="12.414" Pitch="3.068" PitchRange="0.000" MinPower="16.350" MaxPower="19.914" />
<EndZone Yaw="-3.685" YawRange="11.250" Pitch="16.897" PitchRange="0.000" MinPower="14.964" MaxPower="16.586" />
</Normal>
StartZone, Early Zone etc relate to the saf as follows
StartZone = Keyframe 0 (very late shot)
EarlyZone = Keyframe 1 (late shot)
IdealZone = Keyframe 2 (ideal timing)
LateZone = Keyframe 3 (early shot)
EndZone = Keyframe 4 (very early shot)
Yaw
Yaw = the direction of the shot
0.00 = straight back down the ground hitting the stumps
negative values = shots played to the off side. The greater the negative value the greater the shot is to the offside
E.g Yaw = -10 is roughly shot to mid off
Yaw = -50 is probably a shot to square cover etc
Postive values are shots to the leg side. Higher value is shot more to the leg side etc
Yaw Range
Yaw Range is the directional value of the shot
Increase the value to increase the directional range of the stroke
Pitch
Pitch is the trajectory of the ball off the bat
Negative values are for shots that are hit into the ground - the higher the value the into the ground the ball is hit
Postive values are for shots that are hit into the air. The higher the shot is hit
Pitch Range
This value determines how much the ball flight deviates from the preset trajectory off the bat set in the Pitch Value
I.e. Pitch = 15.00 This would mean the ball travelling over the fielder stading just inside the circle. Pitch range = 2 would mean the ball slightly travelling higher over his head or somtimes travelling lower for a catch
The higher the pitch range the higher the ball deviates from its preset trajectory, higher or lower.
Now it starts to get complicated. I am not certain if all XML files for each shot are used or not in game. I am certain that different XML files are used for each difficulty.
For example, I know for certain that the XML used for the standard straight drive is b10319b9a964d3b346a52981a62305d3.xml on 5 stars
Editing the yaw value for any of the timing zones will have effect in game. In fact editing any of the values has effect in game with one BIG exception
Yaw Range - editing the directional range of the strokes works for all timing zones except the ideal timing zone. I have increased the value for ideal timing up to 99999 but it makes no difference, the stroke goes in same direction each time. Can alter the direction of ideal timing easy enough but not its directional variation
Also the above xml file is not used on other skill levels. I.e. on 3 stars, a different XML must be used as the well timed straight drive goes in a different (but same) direction each and every time.
Of course the other straight drive files are probably used in certain instances also (shot15c and shot15d.saf)
Thanks for Reading my Forum.Hope u would liked it.Have any Problem, feel Free to post it down...
very good
