    Single foolish game will not success

    Sure, they've made mistakes in the past and their cricket games had issues, but lazy and moneygrubbing? That's a bit of a lazy comment isn't it? You clearly don't appreciate how much work goes into these games and how many people work on them. Am excited about the new Ashes game - now they have...

    Edges not being given out...

    I'm doing an Ashes tour in Australia an dhave had this happen 2 or 3 times now. Fast bowler gets an edge through to the keeper, commentator says "edge", the catching mini-game takes place and I catch the ball, appeal and given not out!? So, I go to DRS despite the bowler and wicket keeper both...

    Caught - only dismissals i get !

    Do you have to press and hold (L1 or R1) or just press and let go during the run up?

    Caught - only dismissals i get !

    I did a google search looking for statistics on the proportion of dismissals by type in test cricket and this is what I found - caught 58.6%, bowled 21.3%, LBW 14.4%, run out 3.46%, stumped 2.02% and then a very few number of hit wicket etc. So, you should expect significantly more caught, but...

    DBC17 Patch 4 available now on PS4/Xbox One

    I've found that I'm getting an awful lot more wickets since the latest patch came out. Lot's of edges, although I'm not sure if I'm just bowling better? It is on the easy level for both bowling and batting, but it does feel like a change has taken place. I was playing a test match last night...

    Thanks Gingers Ninja - good name by the way! I've played 2 seasons in career mode and have been made captain of the local Hampshire team I'm playing for and getting attention from counties, but it's still early days. Why, is there an issue with this? If anyone wants to play online feel free to...

    DBC17 Patch 3 Now Available on PS4/Xbox One

    I couldn't agree more with you Dakota. I got the game at Christmas but after seeing all of the issues thought I'd wait until patch 3 came out before playing the game. I've started a career and have to say that I'm loving it overall. Field changes without me realising can be annoying, but i think...

    Don Bradman Cricket 17 First Impressions Thread

    The conversation on here is quite hilarious, I said to my wife that it often seems like a bunch of teenagers venting without really understanding the complexity of creating a game of this type. It then dawned on me that many of the people here probably are teenagers or maybe people in their...

    Console Patch 3 Release?

    The game engine for GG was brilliant in terms of run rates and also momentum during an innings. Plus the animation for a six, coming at the screen (so to speak). Brian Lara had a good game engine, but there were so many bugs. If you accepted its flaws it was really playable. That's what makes...

    Console Patch 3 Release?

    I'm looking forward to the new patch, but I'm loving the game just as it is. The PS4 version is a lot better than PS3, quicker loading, smoother etc, but there is just so much to enjoy. The amount of thought, complexity and attention to detail compared with every other cricket game ever to have...

    Post your questions about the game here!

    The thing is, in reality how frequently do catches go to the slips in real life? We love how it looks, but it depends on the pitch and the bowlers you have. I've had some awesome edges behind and to the slips, but it's not that frequent. Look at the last Ashes tour, I don't think England had a...

    Post your questions about the game here!

    The video with Twistie3 was quite interesting, although he would benefit from better preparation with his questions. Lots of times he missed opportunities to probe further when Ross was talking about changes or things in the future, which was a shame, but it's tough to think on the spot like...

    How are you doing in your career?

    If you keep hitting the ball in the air then its probably poor timing.
