TOP 20 HILARIOUS PLAYER NAMES IN CRICKET 07
Since 2008, we all are enjoying amazing patches created by modders. But still, we all desire cricket 07 to be better & more for this legendary game.
Right from Main-menu to Stadiums, everything is updated and accurately created by modders for most of the patches. Thankfully, modders were & are successful in providing the most desired stuff i.e HD player faces and accurate rosters. You can find it on Archive Section on this website.
I believe that we are blessed enough to enjoy these mods developed by skilled modders. But back in the year 2006-07, no one had any idea of modding or even amending small changes to this cricket 07 game. In those days, one of the popular keywords maybe this - "How to change the player name in cricket 07?"
Only Eng, Aus, Nz & Saf teams have the right player names. Other teams player names were really funny, but hey, do you know why?
Read this post to get more info about licensing & player rights that lead to incorrect & hilarious names for most of the players in international teams.
You may not know the reason - why the game developers had to make such innovations for player names.
There were licensing issues that EA Sports had to face during the development of the game. They only got licenses for 4 International teams which were - England, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa.
The other national teams which were mainly from South Asia such as India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, etc weren't licensed.
This is the reason EA Sports had to change the names of all the players from Asian teams.
Many stadiums in the game were also generic and unlicensed like Kolkata, Faisalabad, etc. However, stadiums from England and Australia were definitely licensed and closely replicated with their real-life versions.
The old C07 roster is full of funny names, but we are bringing you the top 20 most Hilarious names that will definitely make you laugh very hard.
We are providing the exact names picked from the Old roster and also the correct names on the Right side. Let's dive in!
