No idea (or interest) if anyone's into 1990s County Cricket but I'm doing it anyway.
I'm starting with the 1993 teams. The year the mighty Glamorgan won the Sunday League so we're starting with that.
I've just uploaded 1993 Derbyshire and Durham and I'll do the rest as I get around to them.
It's more like a Toni & Guy brochure rather than a sports game.
There's a distinct lack of ordinary hairstyles and a massive overload of those 'alt-right' hairdos with a lice-cut up the sides and a big over-producted quiff thing on the top.
With a few notable exceptions, cricketers have never...
I think you have to set the order of the bowlers when setting up the scenario. Go to the bowling figures screen and adjust the order as you would with a batting lineup.
Simon Jones used to, particularly in the early days.
I remember watching him once going through Derbyshire's top order like a prune vindaloo, bowling like lightning off what was almost a spinner's run up.
If memory serves he was still bowling like that when he started playing Tests as well...
Picture's a bit big, don't know why. Sorry and all that...
Also, this time I think I should be able to share my full 1993 Sunday League teams thing without buggering up everyone's current teams.
Looking good BA!
(I don't care about your 1993 Sunday League teams, FOOL!)
Mr Retro Cricket is back.
I did loads of old 80s, 90s and even 70s bats and stuff back on DBC17. Never did Ashes because there wasn't an Academy demo thing to let me know what I could do.
I now base all cricket games on how much I can recreate the 1993 Glamorgan team.
Going tidy so far...
I've noticed the same problem too.
You can work around it with straight line shapes by pressing Z or clicking with the scroll-wheel and dragging to select the node but this doesn't work on curves or beziers as you can't select the shaping cursor without dropping another node.
Where is bug...
...and the logo creator. Pretty much perfect retro game then.
Maybe a retro skin for stadia with mechanical scoreboards and ropes, fences, concrete blocks or people's legs for boundaries.
This was one of my gripes about DBC17 and it seems it's carried over to Ashes.
In DBC14 we had all the options we needed to make any player from history. We could have Graham Gooch wearing a plain white grille-less helmet opening the batting with Mike Atherton in a full navy blue helmet and...
That's still up in the air at the moment.
Being almost exclusively old-school when it comes to sport in general, I spent nearly 8 months getting DBC17 exactly as I wanted it and then Ashes was announced almost the next day.
I assumed I was future-proof and that all my creations would be...
I think I've only got a few hundred and for a lot of them I've still got the original SVGs saved but I did a lot of stuff from scratch in-game. That includes lots of my most popular stuff like the retro Slazenger stuff which could be particularly fiddly.
Even if someone comes up with a way of...
I'll probably chip in with some old bats again.
Of course, I'm hoping that there will be some way of getting logos out of DBC17 to make the job a lot easier.
Cheers.
The problem is I've built all those kits on the main teams so I can't share them until I recreate them all in custom teams and that's going to be a huge pain in the arse.
Oh, for a copy kits between teams function.
