    By golly old chap - you've only gone and done it Big Ant

    Pretty much my thoughts. Me and a mate used to play Brian Lara '05 loads and I was talking to him about this game and he was like 'nothing will beat BLC '05' - I let him play this for a while and he agreed it's the best cricket game yet. However I hope BA don't rest on their laurels! I would...

    Things I've learned from batting

    Share your own! Note that I might be wrong about some of these, I'm not the best player so welcome any corrections / suggestions 1. Against spin, sit deeper into your crease. You can sit back / go forward just like you can adjust your position left and right - this helps reduce the chance of a...

    Ashes Cricket General Discussion

    Just got dismissed by a short ball; it hit me square on the helmet as I tried to leave the ball - but then it dropped down, I stepped backwards and it rolled behind my legs and onto the stumps. I've got a vid on my PS4 I should put up - anyone seen this dismissal yet? I wasn't even mad

    Why should I buy Ashes Cricket ?

    Career mode starts you off in no-name regional league (they've added tons of leagues, like, you can play in Afghanistan if you want) and then you work your way towards selection in domestic teams and finally up to Test selection status. But that's not all - you can get recruited to play in T20...

    Friedlele Creations - IPL 2018 Teams updated 08/04/2018

    Just mentioning something I said in another thread: Is anyone interested in starting a Google spreadsheet to keep track of these heroic efforts? It would help consolidate the community's efforts and have a one-stop shop for finding which authors have contributed to which teams / stadia. I'm a...

    Ashes Cricket General Discussion

    Hey all, I've been playing a new career and lost about 5 games in a row so far with one draw - yet my profile seems to have shot up to Level 33 already (I get awarded a LOT of XP). Just wondering if that's a bug because in 14, you would earn levels very slowly? If so and not reported I'll put it...

    Ashes Cricket Review/Impression Thread

    Really nothing to say apart from they've combined the good bits of 14 and 17 into a more comprehensive package. Easily the best and most in-depth cricket game ever made. Yes, it's buggy at the moment but not in the places it really matters, and nobody is expecting FIFA level graphics &...

    A couple of Q's on difficulty settings

    1. What's the difference between match difficulty and bat/bowl/field difficulty? I get the impression that the first is about how well your opponent plays and the second is about timing windows for controls? 2. What settings do you think make for realistic or good cricket? i.e. If you're an...

    https://psnprofiles.com/trophies/6882-ashes-cricket These all look pretty reasonable, although 'Paired Up' could be a challenge. Other favorites: NIIIIICE GARY!!! - Get a wicket on the third ball of a Nathan Lyon over. Compliments to the Chef - Score a century with Alastair Cook in an Ashes...

    Ashes Cricket General Discussion

    One of the reasons DBC17 suffered from many setbacks is they spent a lot of development resources overhauling the engine from DBC14; it unfortunately took a lot of player feedback to get this big change right - this happens in software development sometimes. I am going to make a guess that...

    DBC17 Graphics

    No probs - can you submit your detailed brief for the extra things you want added with a breakdown of timescales and BA can provide you with a quote & proposal for getting everything you need added for a day one patch.

    DBC17 Features!

    Hi all - apologies if this is a commonly asked question, I had a look around several threads and found no discussion - will there be the ability to view innings history in Career mode or similar, or will you just get a summary of basic stats like average, strike rate etc. a la DBC14? Can't wait...
