Ashes Cricket General Discussion

[Sir Dibby of Dobbler]

I think the only people having fun with the 'virtual' video gaming Ashes are probably DB17 owners.

My 'Ashes' on DB17 are steaming along fine and England are actually winning! ha. No sledging mind you. Just clean honest cricket fun like Starcers getting Cooky a right cracker on the helmet then next ball... bang... straight in the Gonads! Lovely stuff.

[Cross Seam + Short (+ LB extra short) + R1 Fast + straight as you can] ha

Even got the IND / SRI Test at Kotla on the go with an India runfest on soft wicket just like the real thing!

Sorry Ashes 17 users that you have problems with the new release. :-(

I'm PC so will have good long look at the PC release before shelling out another 40 quids or whatnot.

find it ironic that the advert has pictures from the pc version yet it isn't out yet and we don't even have a release date.Hope i am very wrong but can't see it happening until the new year.There aren't too many working days to xmas left.I would buy it now after the ashes are over unlikely to spend £40+ on it.

It's not like they need to port it. The PC version exists (and is ahead of the console versions), they just need to make it available on Steam.

That’s strange mine seem all ok and up to date in my career

My bowler took 7/41 in an innings yet it still says my best bowling figures are 5/40. My batsman scored 125 and was dismissed yet it says my highest score is 125 not out. Same problem occurring in casual mode, when players high scores, centuries, fifties, bowling figures are all incorrect.

 

[Punk_Sk8r]

I have a question about the ball physics when coming off the bat, I saw in DBC17 videos that they had the ball bounce pretty high after coming off the bat (how it happens irl sometimes) but in the Ashes videos I haven't seen this, anyone know if it's in?

All the videos I've seen the ball does the same trajectory no matter the shot and rolls along the ground the same way

Really disappointing that the stats are still broken

u no why there broken you probz save and exit a lot in career there fine just couple issues with the hs and best bowling everything else is fine

You know, at this point it's getting frustrating for us as well, I can only imagine what the dev team must be going through.

Just because you've been given a platform to share your feedback, doesn't mean you misuse it this way. Most other games' devs don't even care about such individualistic feedback.

You have posted about it umpteen number of times and I'm pretty certain that it's been noted. They're working on something. Allow them the time.

Good chance he’s on Ross’ ignore list anyway..?

Ya know what, i really like this game but theres some real bad shizz in it that needs sorting out.

Really grinded to bowl Australia out for 297 on Veteran, start my reply shaky at 90-4 ish, then finally get a decent partnership going to feel like im back in it a bit then this physical impossibility crap happens.

Its bad enough being stumped off spinners all the time even when batting deep in the crease but stuff like the below makes you want to put the game down for a bit.

Please sort it Big Ant - dont let an otherwise great game be ruined by silly stuff like this

Can you explain to me how I have misused my ability to share feedback? I have stated numerous times that I love the game, and it's by far and away the best cricket game I have ever played. However, the stats issue was very prevalent in DBC17 and it remains the same in this game. I, along with others gave my feedback on that issue in DBC17, yet it was never fixed. I am sure that these issues will be fixed, however it's incredibly frustrating when you buy two editions of a game, and then have to wait two months before they actually become playable.[DOUBLEPOST=1512256138][/DOUBLEPOST]

If I am, then I do not understand why. I am a huge supporter of Big Ant and the cricket games that they have brought out, however there are undeniable issues that make this game unplayable at times. It happened with DBC17 and it is unfortunately in this game too. We are just lucky I suppose that this game is being made by Big Ant, and how they work so closely with the community.

Such as my video above.

Love the game like you but when stuff like that happens when you are really battling you think...whats the point.

Hope Ross gets on their case, reducing the price is a "f*cked strategy"!!

So I have played close to 30 hours of this game since it release and my feeling is still the same as of the first day impression and that is BRILLIANT! Yes there are few minor things that needs to be fixed such as AI not taking enough singles, better field placements and other minor cosmetic stuff such as change of color of time and temperature on the scorecard as Black on Gray is not visible on TV. I have been playing this second test in Ashes and its already close to 8-10 hours for just 4 days of play and I have never so much fun bowling that 143 overs. David Warner and Marsh were absolutely batting well and thats when like real like cricket I got Marsh out after he scored his century and one wicket brings two and two brings three. Khawaja and Handscombe were looking settled and thats when I thought lets bowl bouncers and it worked. So much joy and fun seeing your plans execute. Another instance where while batting in second innings of England I decided to demoralize the bowlers and guess what? IT WORKED!!!! trailing 247 runs I am not leading by 4 and have just lost one wicket. Those who are waiting for PC version do get it first day itself. Also one good thing is Xbox One did not get that 1.05 patch which meant there were no glaring issues PS4 users faced. We still have day 1 patch thats it and I think its close to perfect
