Ashes Cricket 2013 General Discussion

[whiteninness]

As was mentioned earlier though, they had a bigger budget than BA. Seems like a lot went to the commentators. A very static performance though. You can easily picture Slats reading it word for word off a script.

I can only imagine how Mikey M and the other developers are viewing all of this. Let there be no mistake about this: what Ashes 2013 has done has poisoned the water for other developers of cricket games.

For all those just thinking ah well the game wont sell, BA wins, you are very naive I am afraid. This has knock on effects.

But according to most people on here, we have a decent game already from BA?

The game is more than decent, beyond our wildest dreams but the market is sabotaged by this pile of junk. It makes it much more difficult to get retailers take on a cricket game if all they are hearing is people complaining about this shit. Especially as this game will be much more expensive than Ashes 2013. Rightly so but it makes retailers think twice.

Out of interest - is there a single person anywhere on the internet who is even half happy with the game?

Perhaps he is busy "playing" the game.

Ashes

I cannot believe they had the cheek to release this pile of poo and then to promote it buy saying its the most realistic cricket game released so far,what an absolute disgrace.
Honestly people should be sacked for releasing this shit.

If only the developers for this game had come from Japan or USA...

So much of their methodology was supposedly based on their previous games being poor, or at least limited. That's why they were "forced" to start fresh.

Just in general (I see it a lot in science) I don't like marketing campaigns (yes a lot of science is marketing) that are heavily based upon putting down previous efforts, even if by yourself.

Pc

I was worried that my pc(5 years old now) would not be able to handle a modern game like ashes 2013,looking at the graphics all i can say is .
