Ashes Cricket General Discussion

[Wealey]

Why do some people love to just be a pain in the arse and try be witty and just talk utter crap on these forums. Its a pain in the arse!

 

[Mr Snrub]

But my point is... You feel it's going out of fashion because the footie season is almost upon us so you feel you wont give it a go but, if it's patched and people here are making positive vibes about it would you?

I never insulted you... Just Melbourne I'm originally from Perth. Okay... Point taken x



Oops he's a Kiwi... ?

I guess other than the "Oops he's a Kiwi... ?", that was reasonable (it really doesn't matter where I or anyone else is from). To answer your question, I do own Ashes Cricket. As many positive and well developed facets that the game has, it sadly has many issues which detract from it being enjoyable. I at present wish I hadn't bought it, which is unfortunate as I like to support Cricket game developers.

We fight a lonely crusade my friend......may I recommend to the good gentelman one of our most popular wines? The Ignorus Buttonz is a delightful and fruity little number.....bringing instant and sweet joy!

My next question... Which form of the game do you play FC, One day or T20... There is a reason (promise). I personally feel this game isn't too broken but on the up of the preverbal learning curve so hopeful of a patch to fix all.

Yes. If only they could put some effort in to be both incredibly witty AND also an extremely valuable/intelligent poster like myself.

You playing the game atm? How’s it going?

I've been away on holiday. Took my laptop and played one 2005 ODI as England vs Australia. Bowled them out for 278, despite a hundred partnership by Hayden/Gilly. Then I got bowled out for 225. (Still using your old sliders but now with shot force down at 10)

Felt like an extremely realistic mid-2000s England ODI experience.

Goughy was on cracking form though:

Got a whole load of 2005 teams up in the academy if you're interested. Just search username: Spoobir.

I was thinking of recreating the BLIC2005 trailer with them or something haha.

I've been away from it as I was finding batting too easy. Is decreasing shot force down to 10 helping making it more challenging?

It definitely does in limited overs matched in my experience. It's very difficult to get free boundaries during the powerplays and I get caught out more in the deep as well when previously the ball would just fly over the boundary. But then I am also quite rubbish at batting so your results may vary.

 

[SpitfiresKent]

yeah there were quite a few with blowers doing the voice over. i think i even saw a few that weren't just on during the tests themselves, but i saw at other times/channels.

The TV ad with blowers was a sainsbury's ad and I can remember seeing it on skysports cricket.

I think CazCat and max walker should get a room... kidding guys.

Just wondering how many people work for big ant. Surely they could have split the staff to work on both games simultaneously.

I understand the need for them to patch ao tennis, but it would not have killed them or there resources if they had chosen to have some guys work on ashes as well.

After all , the aim is to make money and produce solid titles. Throwing all your resources into one place is never a good idea.

I just want a patch where I can finally play the game on classic batting with fixed close cam without it going haywire when 2 players are batting on the same side...it does not seem to invert no matter what the settings are on.

I also want a game where the players who you create actually look like themselves instead of weirdly blotchy skin , incorrect tone of skin and devilish snake eyes.

Do those issues not bother anyone else?

You might be overestimating BA’s resources I feel, re: 2 separate teams for tennis and cricket...

I just want a EA Cricket style camera angles, I just don't like the broadcast camera in DBC and Ashes Cricket.
just need a fixed camera on the ball when it's in the air.
