Ashes Cricket 19

More than anything any future interation needs organic uncertainty in the AI batting.

I came back to game over Xmas after a long break. I bowled an over around the wicket to a left hander. Batsman left 4, defended 1 and twatted one for 4.

The 4 he left were all within inches of the top of off.

That should be a hard area to hit consistently but we need the AI to have doubt. Yes leave but we need prods, nicks and even bad leaves where it’s hitting.

In 3 iterations the only improvement in this area is now they at least shoulder arms instead of stepping out to leg.

Does anyone else think that PlayFace should be made to be more user friendly? It’s currently almost impossible to use and I’ve never seen a tutorial from Bigant on it either. The idea behind PF is awesome and really could make a huge difference to us if made easier to use.

Career mode depth + improve AI intelligence when batting (put away bad balls + don't block final over of a t20) and I'll be a happy man

improve AI intelligence for bowling as well.You shouldn't be able to hit 6 sixes on legend level where no bowling or fielding adjustments are made and the same delivery is bowled every ball.No excuse for this.

Isn't part of the problem with the AI batting that the runs per ball/over basically overrides everything else? I seem to remember someone from the beta group mentioning that when this was turned off the AI did nothing.

They don't really come on the forum anymore, if they do, they don't post anymore anyway.

Owner of the site works for BA so assume will feedback any constructive points made

They know all this and more.The question is do they have programmers capable of delivering the game we want?

Well there you go then lol. Wasn't aware of that until now.

I'm curious to see if the claims over the next iteration being the biggest step forward since DBC 14 are true, only time will tell of course, will just be speculation until about a week or two prior to the release.

New Ashes on the new Engine? Or is this for a 2020 release?

An Ashes this year, if it is intended for August (You'd think it would be), would want to be about finished by June. Beta mid April, Alpha start of March. Ideally.

So cutting it very fine if it's a "from scratch" graphics engine. Although not impossible depending on how it's structured.

Just pay the programmer some good money please. Then will we have a good game that we can all play without complaints. Ashes 2017 only needed some TLC imo.

It might well be on the new engine. Would make sense as Ross recently said the next game will be the biggest step up in the cricket video game world since DBC14 hit.

Game will definitely be releasing around the Ashes time. And my guess is that it will most likely be on the new engine. However, I'm worried due to the time constraints and even more based on how Big Bash boom has turned out to be.
Beta involvement will definitely make a huge difference and hope BA will engage then from the early stages itself.
