@Dutch...is it now possible to check your stance in ProCam? Fantastic if you can...but does it help you understand where your feet are in relation to the stumps. I bat exclusively in ProCam but often can't work out what guard I'm taking once I've wandered around the crease. Also, are those...

The fact that the majority of purchase have already been made is certainly a factor in terms of how much BA would be prepared to invest in support. However, you also need to factor in impact on future earnings and goodwill. Post-release support is all additional cost to a developer and therefore...

I agree with this. I put a lot of hours into DBC14 but would have done a fraction of that without @francobaldo1 and his patch. Fewer hours with DBC17...but again needed Franco's magic to smooth out some of the wrinkles. I have absolutely no insight into how BA run their development but I would...

I do hope that there is a way to get rid of the caught off pad dismissal...and a returns of BARS. It is odd...I don't recall this being a problem in DBC but I get a lot of caught off pad dismissals in Ashes...and I've only seen one review in 94 hours of playing Ashes, and that was for a...

It is gratifying to hear that you are using ProCam...as that's my preference as well. It does have a few idiosyncrasies compared to others...but I stick with it. The general point on testing, though, is that it is very difficult to get good test coverage without a proper test strategy or...

@Dutch this is very encouraging to hear. It would be great if we could get to a point where there is a bit less premeditation and dependency on aerial or pitch markers...though I know this is not easy without slowing the delivery down. Are you and the team actually working to predefined test...

I agree with this...though I doubt it will happen. If BA could get the core mechanics of the cricket game right (and I'm sure this is where they are focusing) and strip out all of the conflating complexity, DLC could offer expansion possibilities that cater to individual's interests and wallets...

I do tend to give BA the benefit of the doubt...mainly based on the level of interaction and involvement they used to have here prior to DBC14. If you have been part of the beta (which I haven't), then you will know through experience that they are keen to do their best. However, if you had...

I agree with this and the fact that making a good cricket game must be harder than a compressed football format. Given that it is harder probably makes it even more important that efforts are made to reduce complexity as much as possible. I think the skills are a good example of where extra...

Yes, I agree with this. Overall I get the feeling that there has been a heavy emphasis on technical implementation without the requisite attention to game design. I've said it before but I think a lot of the problems people are having with this game stem from insufficient rigour in design. The...

Well I'm delighted to hear that things are underway on the patch. I hope it's not rushed just to get something out the door as something that fixes just a couple of things (and maybe breaks others) is probably not going to be met with much enthusiasm. I've reverted back to playing Career mode...

It's on SteamDB : https://steamdb.info/app/649640/depots/ All it will show you is when builds were submitted but it won't tell you anything about releases.

Yes, I've tried this. It certainly changes the feel of the game. I would also recommend batting with ProCam, for even more fun.

That's a great animation (though an unlikely catch for second slip), that I haven't seen at all in many hours of playing the game. I would also much prefer to see this in the outfield rather than that casual one-handed-crouch-scoop-catch that is the norm. I know that, in some sense, it's just an...

This, I've never seen. Most of the time the fielders seem unwilling to make an effort. Certainly looking forward to seeing that catch in your highlights package. The rest of your assessment seems fair. There is much still to like about the game but it needs some proper attention to fix some of...

I really didn't say that they were designed to be incorrect. Just that the amount of design was insufficient to produce the intended outcome of correct stats.

My hypothesis: It does do stats correctly because it wasn't designed to do it correctly.

I think this is an issue with product management and design. I remember all of the requests for this feature and that gizmo...a whole bunch of 'wouldn't it be nice if...' requests. This is all good for gauging the sort of things that players are looking for. However, as a product manager or...

I get what you're saying here and everyone will have there own preference but I much prefer having a different experience bowling spin to bowling pace. The rotation of the LS actually makes intuitive sense to me because it is about applying rotation to the ball. It wouldn't make sense to do this...

I actually like the way that BA have implemented spin bowling and I prefer it to feel different to pace bowling (i.e. stick rotation is a good thing, for me, particularly now that you only do it once rather than the three times in DBC 14). You have control over revs based on both the degrees you...
