Zooming the main camera in tv coverage during delivery is really super annoying and means I see less than if they just left it steady.

There are potentially lots of confounding factors. One old cricket saying is that if both batsman go on cue as fast as they can you can run on anything. That's not literally true but the situation that exists in the game - where you press a button and both players set off at full speed no with...

There was one stage in DBC14 where it was absoute deadeye, never missed. Can't remember if that happened first and the compaints were about that or if there were complaints about easy singles first and the deadeye fielders happened later. Some irl fielders genuinely are brilliant at hitting the...

The deadeye throws are, effectively, a balance fix for the fielding system leaking lots of stolen runs to users through not being great at gathering at the stumps and making quick run outs. If they could get the gathering at the stumps issue sorted then the issue of deadeye throws might not...

Ok I have reviewed highlights on youtube. At the posted score they lost both set batsmen. The next few guys swung and missed and the scores only got so close thanks to a late six. Can't see anything immediately suspicious. The final stumping dissmissal is an absolute shocker though. He looks...

Do we have footage? This could be a case for the PlanetCricket Match Fixing Detection Squad.

At risk of shitty analogies, it's like crossing the Atlantic. Building the ship is the biggest expense. BA built their ship for DBC14, and currently nobody else has one. And unless some cricket loving billionaire is going to fund it there's going to have to be a really likely prospect of making...

I'd like to see enough of a total to make a game of it.

Just looking at NBA 23k, even with vastly more budget and dev time than BA they're still miles away from really super realistic player animations and movements. There are lots of little jumpy bits or bits that look like frame skips when players need to change direction quickly or if they collide...

fun fact : Ramps hoovered up 50 test picks and finished up with a bowling average instead of a batting average. And then turned up in a friendly game I was supposed to be playing in and sledged everyone like an absolute arse.

Because they probably had about 20 times as many devs working on lighting nostril hair or shoelaces than BA had on it's entire dev team for every iteration combined.

It's a bit weird how Butler, unquestionably one of the top few ball smashers in England, has managed to not be in contention for a test spot in the ball smashingest England team ever.

Far be it from me to criticise anyone for sledging the Aussies but I'm not sure it's going to translate all that well to the milieu of late stage game development.

Well, put it this way - if there are a shitload of cosmetic changes but the fielding is more or less the same, I'm not sure that's going to hit the spot for me. If I remember right they promised fielding upgrades for C22 that fell some way short of what we were hoping for.

Well, it all kind of depends how much dev time it takes to fix things. If, hypothetically, they put out something with big old fielding upgrades and not a lot else, that might actually represent a lot more work and more gameplay value than a whole stack of more surface level stuff. In some...

I mostly bat. If BA can eliminate some of the longer term AI fielding issues that would prob be a good upgrade for me on it's own.

I miss the old England sweaters. The current ones have a bit of an elderly aunt's cardiagan sort of vibe.

He got going with that one handed 6 that only just carried. Plus he's a terrier between the wickets.

I can't recall seeing JB struggle to time the ball quite like this. He's not the best starter sometimes, he might still click.

Eskinazi can bat, though. Good player.
