Agreed...I only played in the practice ground but saw no exaggerated seam movement and it certainly doesn't change direction off the pitch. Cutters and swing are now distinctly different options.

Had a go with the beta in ground practice mode and swing is working as I would expect. Not extreme but you can now bowl nice inswinging toe-crushers and the rest. Thanks, BA, for the rapid fix.

You can have no HUD in bowling if you bat first and leave it off. I really like the no HUD option...particularly for Pro Cam. When bowling, however, there are times when I would like to be able to toggle it back on (check how many balls left in the over, current score etc.) but, as has been...

You could be right. I get the feeling that they have built a very brittle code base. Could probably do with a thorough refactoring before they release another version and get rid of some of the technical debt that has accumulated over the various iterations. That said, I am grateful for the...

Surely it only needs to know that it hit the player (pad or any other part) and not the bat. It shouldn't be keyed on pad collision.

I'm not on PS4. I'm on PC with a Steam Controller.

Where is this documented and how is it done? There is nothing in Settings or Controls Layout that I can find.

I pretty much only play career mode and the posts saying it's broken are highly misleading. That said, I don't know the extent to which the patch will impact career mode...i.e. will it benefit from a restart or will carrying on with an existing career still work? However, if you're not in a...

An old school Dean Johnes who offered much intelligent insight and positivity (all wrapped in an elegant prose style) around the time of the DBC14 release.

Wow, that sounds terribly exotic. I hope you are teaching cricket as a major part of the syllabus. You can crowbar cricket into most subjects: Maths: averages, required run rates Advanced maths/quantum mechanics: Duckworth Lewis Stern Physics: reverse swing, ballistics Geography: of any...

You can't infer anything from the fact that BA are still updating the builds incrementally. The patch on the 26th could be the final patch...it could be the first of many...it could be the the penultimate patch. What they do in pre-production does not affect their approach to releasing patches...

This is a crazy place, at times. However, I still maintain that, despite the occasional aberration, PC is one of the saner corners of the internet. I'm sure that if we all were down the pub together, rather than posting on a forum, we would have a whale of a time and even Dean Johnes would get a...

It's like one of those spot the difference puzzles...is the difference here that the last ball of the over is marked rather than just showing the balls prior to last? I would be very happy if they've fixed that...not a game-changer but always puzzled me why the last ball didn't show up.

@Dutch, thanks for posting those videos. That no HUD, ProCam experience...where you can actually look around properly, looks fantastic...exactly what I was hoping for. Looking forward to trying it out...thanks to those who raised this feature request and to those who implemented it.

Also playing as a leg-spinning all-rounder and have a similar experience. I love career mode but there are some design issues. I also find myself being brought on around over 7 of day one of a test match...in England. Also, if I am bowling at the end of play one day, I find myself bowling at the...

I wouldn't say that BA don't deserve the support that they are getting. Yes, they need to get their act together on comms but we need to keep some perspective here and not condemn them merely on this. I'm convinced that BA want Ashes (and any future game) to be as good as they can make it. They...

Well this thread went off the rails again in spectacular fashion. Even reading through it I still can’t understand how it escalated to this point. @WealeyH , the OP of the beta thread does say that feedback should be made on this thread. If people are unable to make comments on the beta thread...

Actually saw the AI review a decision...unfortunately it was used to overturn the correct on-field decision. Perhaps more evidence of some problem with collision detection but BARS should never give the wrong verdict. The ball turned into the batsman's pads, hit the front pad, ricocheted onto...

I've never really messed around too much with mentalities...mainly because I couldn't work out what they were meant to do. Is there any documentation anywhere that describes the pros and cons of each and how does it scale with other attributes and experience level? Resorting to changing everyone...

Well in one way, I'm glad it's not just me...but it must be very annoying for online...at least with single player you can quit and relaunch without annoying someone else. I hope that this is on BA's list of things to fix. I really like ProCam, and particularly like the way, in Ashes, it no...
