Ashes Cricket Gameplay Sneakpeek

[Karachi]

Fielders still seem like statues & batsmen played the shot abruptly (as someone pointed out). On the other hand there seems to be a tiny improvement in graphics compared to the earlier screenshots. This is from the editing mode so can't judge the game to much, but my hopes are still not too high.

The bowling animation looks good, but the batting doesn't look fluent at all.

Your turn Ross

It's Soviet Cricket - there is one collective shot for everyone to play.

Yeah, Soviet indeed - NOBODY MOVE!


(sorry... last post... really )

No burning stumps?

 

[Karachi]

The batting animation is so bad that even the in-game crowd didn't show up

Guys, be prepared because .... "there?s more on their way?!" ....
until enjoy this ....

To the people suggesting on FB that Big Ant has a mole at Trickstar/505 Games - No, just No, I wouldn't do this to anybody...

TableTop Cricket is more lifelike and has better mo-cap... last I'll post on this video, I'll leave you all to it...

Also could this be a new 'behind the batsman' camera view?

Allan Border cricket was much better!

There wasn't much marketing strategy before but at least we were getting updates and press releases from the PR agency though the usual channels. Now they just post stuff on facebook...

By the way, does anyone have an idea as to where the 'The Guy Who Gets It' is these days? Haven't seen him posting for awhile, I hope he's alright and not beaten up for trying to patronize people in real life .

On holiday complaining about poor internet access. Spotted him on twitter this morning.

Makes me wonder if they had Chris Martin to do the Mo-Cap

 

[kingoffuel]

Stick Cricket's batting looks more realistic than this

Big Ant must be laughing all the way to the bank with this opposition.

I can only assume they feel like one of Audley Harrison's opponents

Well ac13 team is looking busy but doing nothing.
Futile gameplay including graphics.
I think they don't have enough budget.

Why ea left making the cricket games?
Poor performance
I request to Ross to release a video of cricket 14 gameplay to show that his game is far better than ac13.

EA ditched C09 presumably based on sales projections costed against the amount to print and distribute. I don't think 505 have that luxury...
