That screenshot reminds me of a real old cricket simulator - Sticky Cricket, I think. Is that still playable anywhere?

Something that bugs me a bit - when sprinting between the wickets, the batters don't put their bat down until it's already over the line. They also don't seem to dive until they're too close to the crease. I'm guessing a change was made to stop players from accidentally diving halfway down the...

Anything relating to commentary is an utter waste of time, money and development. Have it in there, but don't go too hard. Most important things: better in-built editors, improved AI, more animations for batters and bowlers (think how FIFA improves from year to year because of this), ability...

So would I be right in assuming that 1.2.1 just went live (for those not in the beta) ? Steam just downloaded a 11mb-ish patch.

Back to the Ashes! I've started to find more form - and patience - lately, culminating in a reasonably quick but not too outlandish 151 in the inaugural innings of the First Test. Having that square drive makes an IMMENSE difference to how this game plays. Loving it, although it'd be nice if...

EB Games confirmed to me on Twitter that the game will be available for purchase from tomorrow (Feb 10).

Whoops, been AWOL for a while. fearsome tweak AAA season. As for the triggers - they're excellent, in fact. I find any games that specifically use them a lot - racing, for instance - are 100000000% more enjoyable to play than using the DS4. Having the official drivers means you get a better force...

I've got a PS4 and a Xbox One controller hooked up to my PC. For what it's worth, it's a million times easier to rotate the stick on the PS4 controller.

That's been my experience.

I agree that slow short bouncers are pretty easy to cart to the boundary. The ones that are bigger problems are slow drifters from spinners. It's not so bad if you have a perfect connection, but if there's any lag at all it can be difficult to time these perfectly (restricting the amount of...

The way India batted in the last Test series, insanity might be the new black

Have you noticed any increase in deviation off the pitch or more variable bounce as the days wore on?

But if I install the mods, will the career mode progress as normal - without mods - or will the save file essentially be corrupted/unplayable?

I've really got to get on the mods. Do they affect your career save at all?

In fairness to developers, I don't think that statement holds up. Ross can probably attest to a number of fixes and changes that even Big Ant have made under the hood that maybe aren't fully appreciated or even noticed by fans here. And for major AAA games, things like your Titanfalls and...
