Ashes Cricket 2013 General Discussion

Ok guys I played ashes 2013 for about 2 hours this morning trying to get as much fun out of this shit as I can.

Ok I made 178 all out what is my best so far in the game with Siddle making a 50 of 41 balls.

Now if you play this game like a real test match it can be a little fun if you are good at the timing as I am now.

So lot's of leaves and singles and a few 4s, as if you do not do much the game bugs are quite and im not kidding, the more you much the game the funnier the game gets.:lol

PS Now for the new bugs I saw while I was playing.
I hit a nice shot near the boundary and ran 2 runs but the fielder stepped over the boundary rope of the game gave me 6 runs.:lol
PS Defended a perfect timed defence shot and the ball rolled onto the stumps but because I times it right I was not out.:lol

PS Now for the biggest bug of them all and please if someone can get this on youtube that would rock.

Hit the ball in the air when you are trying to hit 4s and 6s, the stupid fielders can not catch the ball ever in the game I played.:lol:lol This happened like 10 times and to top it off the fielders started to run around in circles or to the boundary with his hands stuck in a catching pose. It has to be seen to believe as I think I woke my wife up with all the laughing I was doing.:lol

This game is the best comedy game I have ever played ever, I enjoy playing it to find new ways to break the game and god it's easy.

PS Ross could you think what would happen if HBK did not work for you and had to find the problems in ashes 2013 everyday, what a job that would be dude.:lol
 
I just popped over to Trickstar's website to find out a bit more about them :

? Major achievements: No.1 UK & Australia hit title - ?Ashes Cricket?

? Company vision/goal: ?Quality is the foundation of our studio?.

? Award nominations: BAFTA Awards 2010 - Ashes Cricket Game.

Cool stuff, huh?

And now Ashes 13 gives us the game of cricket ... re-imagined as never before! Nothing can prepare you for the bat twerking, ball-circling, backwards throwing, synchronised diving buzz of 100% Trickstar code.
 
79 Between that "catching glitch" and the Holy Grail "backwards bowling delivery" glitch, we really need some more YouTube videos from you guys! PLEASE don't make me buy this game to try and capture them...

I hope MattW can get the fielding glitch for all to see Biggs.
Just watching the wicketkeeper catch the ball and then the bowler runs with his hands in the catching pose made me laugh for like 10 min. I stoped playing as I had to get myself under control.

PS Best $21 I have spent for ages. COMEDY GOLD.:lol

PS MattW should be easy to do, just hit the ball in the air, that's it.:yes
 
I'm almost tempted to buy it just because I laughed so much at the youtubes.
 
Matt's been doing a great job, I'm sure he'll have more... don't waste your money!
 
It's ok I'm only almost tempted.

Can't wait to see video of the bowler running around with his hands cupped. Sounds terrific.

The most I have seen is 2 fielders try to catch the ball, then one of them picked the ball up with his hands still cupped and throw the ball at the stumps. God this is funny and sad at the same time. Mike Fegan you should be ashamed of yourself mate.
 
I think you can be pretty sure Mr Fegan has been crapping himself ever since he realised how terrible this game was going to be.

Which must have been ages ago.

You can have my copy, I think steam allows "trading".

I think we shall let them roll back and forth in the foetal position in the naughty corner for just a little longer!!!

Ps 'off topic' ... Ross, one of my EP tracks might be getting played on Triple M Melbourne in the coming week! Keep an ear out!!

I'll certainly look out for it :)

Congratulations!!

No, Fegan wanted this game out in June and 505 made the "brave decision" to give them extra time.

Now they made the even braver decision to release the game.

Ps: for the record, Australia has some damn fine developers, we are not all cowboys.
 
Actually no Ross, didn't you forget the only good developers are American or Japanese?

Not sure if serious... :spy

I will pay the going "Steam Rate" of $20 to anyone who has a WIP build from June of this game. I wanna see what it was like prior to this "release" version. If there's someone from Trickstar lurking who's out of a job come Monday, send me a download link...

There's your other problem now as well:
"Hi, I'm Ross from BigAnt Studios..."

"Where are you based Ross?"

"In Melbourne Australia..."

"Oh, are you the same guys that did Ashes 2013?"

...and that's when he stabbed him in the crotch, your honor...

Totally serious, if I can transfer it you can have it, mostly "unused" almost mint condition, 10 minutes played.

Anyway at this point Steam won't refund - perhaps if enough people ask Steam then it might happen? True Story: had a message today from a friend who will now not let his kid buy games on Steam because they have no quality control. Nothing at all to do with us making Cricket, just a message from a punter who is totally pissed off with his sons purchase.

There is no discernable difference in this build than the one in June, I would refer you back to Johnny Lydon.

Well there was one thing they could have done that was worse than putting "F Ross" in the New Zealand team, putting it in the credits. I would stab someone for that offence. Often.

Ross you do realise that's payback for you putting 'colonel' in cricket academy ;)
 
I didn't know there was one in CA? Anyway, I didn't do it, I would never disparage anyone :p
