I saw this yesterday, a Dalek invasion will cause that sort of light pattern.


Ashes 2013, the game that brought the Doctors together....

Daylight savings?

Or the place where sun never sleeps( like a city never sleep theory)! Yet to come in future from Planet X, this is called evolution of cricket between planets. Ross needs to think a lots for future features if he needs to beat this AC13!

If you dive, your player dives forwards in the direction they are facing. If you cancel a run and then try to dive back, they dive sideways (at both ends) because they are in the middle of their turning animation.

Lol...would love to see that in a vid...would make a great GIF

New bugs but i'm not 100% sure so please if i am wrong please tell me.

Has anyone hit a 6s yet in this stupid game, never happened yet but i have come close. No huge 6s that's for sure.

Also when playing against the pommies i have never faced spin, i only lasted 34 overs but still strange.

Frequently. I hit one so hard it got stuck in the stands:

The key is the timing - if it is a full speed delivery from a fast bowler - as soon as the line pops up, pick where you're hitting and once the ball leaves the bowler's hand, immediately hit the lofted shot button.

The opposite of the controls in DBC14 in every way.

It's all about having reasonable expectations. I reasonably expected to be able to simulate cricket in a cricket game, called "Ashes Cricket". Not only can you NOT simulate the game of cricket, the game is incapable of representing correctly the actual "game" of cricket being played anyway [see: bowlers not being allocated wickets]

Going into any game expecting it to be perfect, is a recipe for disaster. Unfortunately, it's now a double-edged sword of the worst variety for Ross and his team because:

• "Well it's better than Ashes 2013" will hang around their necks like an anvil by people who don't understand how to critique things on their own merits
• "It has a few bugs, but not as many as Ashes 2013" will be the new "where is the release date" in that forum, which is an even worse camparison than point one because any game will have bugs.

Basically, he's now associated with this turd whether he wants to be or not. I think that's what he's been hinting at for months now...

Ross is now in a really awkward situation: He's already got the best game. He's known it for months, now we realize the extent of how bad the 'other' title is. The best he can hope for is 505 abort a PC release so the game doesn't get into wider circulation among the general populace. I'm speaking like it's a disease, but that's essentially what it is for his superior product. People not as educated as we are will mistake one title for the other... the message will get skewed horribly unless WE spread the word about Ashes among folks if they do go ahead with a general release.

The more complicated scenario now becomes if his game is great, like, really genuinely spectacular simulation of cricket... how does he go about selling it to people and distancing it from this shit-stain of a product masquerading itself as cricket over on Steam? It's a HUGE conundrum because in general, people are stupid... they will mistake one for the other and will REMEMBER this stuff for a long time to come. Cricket Gaming in the past 24 - 48 hours basically became a laughing stock... the severity of the situation as customers we understand, but as an owner of a company knee-deep in the business of making a pretty amazing looking cricket game, it's a pretty serious situation for him, the repercussions of which may just mean we don't get another game for some time, if it's not handled correctly.

There are a couple of saving graces, in that the game did not release in shops, therefore the public haven't had the chance to buy it and find out how bad it was that way. Most of the steam reaction seems to have been "buy DBC14 instead". There will be no Ashes release on console now, and that is a huge market Ross can obviously still enjoy.

I think a truly quality product will rise one way or another. Look at Euro Truck Simulator 2. How many people were excited for that? The game is superb though, and has developed a real cult following that has probably translated into substantial sales.

Ashes fielding in a nutshell.

''Realistic gameplay''

...how long did those 250 runs take?

 

[BigAntStudios]

3 balls, maybe 4?

Or is it 3 hours, maybe 4?
