A first look at patch 2! [new video on page 29]

[zimrahil]

Thought of some more questions

Are their more varied edges. Currently majority of edges when I bat go to WK.

When batting does AI still either miss the ball by miles or middle it or is playing and missing much nearer the ball now

I remember Mike and co being in the office at 2 in the morning on a Saturday just to get a video to us.

Those were the days.... "owning" Fridays but generally trying to get stuff out on Thursdays to have less stress but then somehow finding ourselves still in the office as the clock struck into Saturday...

In effect we have - the AI will not choose them, but they are still there for human - we can't just remove as they are now part of a users save profile - however, you can go in and remove them in the academy and make the fields you want to use for human teams.

Oh, you can remove them in Academy now?

That's cool. They were all locked before.

Patch sounds good guys thanks.

...

Is there any feedback in game on shot timing, or assists for batting?
I still can't bat well after hundreds of hours.

Mike - just wondering if this could be restricted for humans as well by applying a hidden, universal illegal field position (in the case of straight on) filter. i.e. the user can have the fields in their save profile but they couldn't use them in any match situation.

Are they any graphical improvements, such as, stumps being knocked out of the ground or better grass textures?

@MattW If i start from age 21 or 26 will i still get the same 20 or more years in the career? And i can't customize my player middle of the career? i guess no but still asking.

Does that invalidate my point? There are a lot of threads and a lot of toys being thrown. Not to mention a lot of emotive 'demands' in this one.

I stand by the point I was making.

In this thread there has only been one instance of someone even remotely "throwing their toys" as your saying.

In other threads there are defnitly more obnoxious and plain dumb posts , but they just get ignored.

I get the whole thing that we should be so thankfull and in love/almost worship BigAntStudios for their awesome game , but as Ross has mentioned several times over and over , that they enjoy and value constructive feedback/critics.

No use everyone just oohs/and ahs at everything that is being done by BA. It kinda gets to me that every now and again someone on a white horse wants to come riding in and saving the day for BA , all the while whilst there is no "attack" on them even happening .

We are all involved in this game and agree that the level of feedback and commitment to this game has not been experienced before from developers , but in saying this don`t try and suppress negative posts. If people feel dissipointed about a certain feature not making it to Patch No. 2 , or Patch No 3 or ever for this game , its their right to voice their dissapointment here.

Otherwise we might as well change the Websites name to DBC FANBOYS only , or something to that tune

No. You play until you reach 36 - starting age is so you can have a shorter career. No.

 

[Markkkkk]

Anyone else noticed the graphical improvements on PC version over Console Version? It looks so much better now.

It's also (at least on my machine) really fast, so much better at load times than on console.

Some of the textures could be higher res though- the grass looks a bit bad and the crowd is very ugly when you see it up close.

Some pics - mostly of the stadiums because I think they look great.
