    Spin Bowling Impression and questions..

    My batting-allrounder is a wrist spinner but earlier today I had my ball which properly turned, and it bowled the left-handed Ed Joyce through the gate, hitting middle stump. I actually punched the air in celebration. :D Generally though, they don't turn one iota and it does need patching. I...

    Don Bradman Cricket 14 - first impressions thread

    Not a first impression as I've had the game about 10 days now but I just played my first 'sparkling' cover drive (which extra cover made a valiant attempt to stop by diving but it was well past him by the time he was at full stretch) for four. It felt so good that I've been watching it from...

    Post your questions about the game here!

    Is there a way to use DRS when batting? Had a couple of iffy (but probably out) LBW decisions go against me in my first match which I'd like to have reviewed but could not work out how.

    Buying Don Bradman Cricket in UK

    Utterly absurd if they haven't stocked many on the basis that England did badly in the winter. Clearly none of the people making the buying decisions have any idea about cricket in this country.

    Buying Don Bradman Cricket in UK

    They were telling me that mine would be delivered tomorrow (although I've now cancelled it). Unless different fulfilment centres have different stock levels (I live in SW London for instance) then they are probably just lying.

    Buying Don Bradman Cricket in UK

    As my mother was shopping in town I sent her on a quick mission to GAME to see if they did, in fact, have any in stock (despite being told on the phone yesterday that they would not). And sure enough they did so she's bought it. As a result, have cancelled my Amazon order. Deeply disappointed...

    Buying Don Bradman Cricket in UK

    Ask to speak to a supervisor (or have one call you) Tom. From past experience they have more ability to compensate you for their incompetence.

    Buying Don Bradman Cricket in UK

    If people who pre-ordered from amazon before me are being told it's not coming it makes me worry why I haven't been told that yet. Very tempted to just cancel and go elsewhere.

    Buying Don Bradman Cricket in UK

    I've just spoken to Amazon and the guy said that despite the website saying it's out of stock my order would be fine as that is for orders placed now. I then made him guarantee that it would be dispatched today. Needless to say, if it's not then Amazon will be paying for express delivery from...

    Buying Don Bradman Cricket in UK

    Only if you're prepared to go in and ask. Apparently you can't call any individual stores now, you have to call a central call centre (which is crap). @ Shrimper

    Buying Don Bradman Cricket in UK

    Just spoke to GAME customer services to see if they could get my local store to put one aside for me. They can't do that apparently but the girl looked up how many the store were going to have in stock generally and the answer was 0! Which seems crazy, as the store is in a big shopping town...

    I just spoke to Amazon and they said it won't be with me until Saturday. :mad

    Buying Don Bradman Cricket in UK

    I'm one of the people who Amazon appears to have let-down. Tried calling my local GAME to see if I can pick it up from them tomorrow morning instead but they aren't picking up.

    We Should File an Official Complaint (Response from 505 Games post 99)

    Been a long time since I've written here but I've been lurking and following the progress of DBC and Ashes for the past 6-7 months. Back in the summer I had originally preordered Ashes with Amazon but cancelled as soon as it became clear that the game was a sham. I actually think that those...

    How are you going in International Cricket 2010?

    Bought this game last week when I bought an Xbox 360 (partly because this wasn't on PC :D), but have waited until now, an absence of about 9 months from the boards, to post the current status of my first Test Match due to me playing Fifa 10 and Red Dead Redemption a lot more. Australia v...

    Ashes Cricket 2009 v1.1 Progress Update

    Hopefully it will be ok, but if Codemasters have found problems with the 'final patch' then we're screwed basically. :(

    Transmission Closes Down

    Feel really gutted - more so for the Transmission guys who have been working so hard on our behalf the last couple of months, but also because it means we won't get another, better installment of the series next year. Easily the best cricket game out there post patch. :(
