Ashes Cricket General Discussion

[Dutch]

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

Especially When they are self publishing and thus having to sort all the licensing as well....

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

I only like men who are strong willed and don't overreact like a spoil child to a simple quip about Melbourne (poor snowflake)... I'm married but... If there's a meal involved... ?

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

Not many I feel most of the profits get ploughed back into research and development... Just what I think.

Do those issues not bother anyone else?

Yes and no, some issues I can deal with and some I can't care less about but you are correct this should be a bit more 'finished' but it feels a lot better than previous incarnations...

Obviously Australia and New Zealand have been playing too much ashes cricket... Can someone tell Martin Guptill to let go of the left trigger?

Easy, don't bring out two unfinished games at the same time.

Not while his right hand is busy...

Now, you're from the best city on the planet... Question, firstly, are you and Eagles fan? (If a docker push ignore and I'll never bother you again)... If so, are you starting to turn your thoughts to footie? If yes and this game was patched to a good standard would you still play it during the footie season... ? Or are you now bored of it and see sports games seasonal also or is the lack of a patch discouraging you picking it up x

of course im a west coast fan I haven't touched the game for a few weeks, I'll definitely try the patch when it comes out but unless it is 10/10 I can't see myself pumping hours into it during winter

 

[Thieves]

So in other words, it's okay to supply a fully priced product that most people seem to be unhappy with?
What I was trying to say is that making games and leaving them with lots of bugs actually does more harm than good for the company involved.
It would be better for a company to spread out their resources..

MODEDIT- Stay on topic please.

I feel betrayed today. As a supporter of all BA games, despite having a lot of shortcomings, I have felt the heat today. So, I don't know where to put this, so I am putting it here:

I was playing career mode, with my player at 58 Level and selected for Gujarat team for more than a year, and it was all going fine! Suddenly, my game crashes, which is nothing new. So, I simply start the game again (I am on PS4) and when I go to career mode, I say 'Continue Career'. Suddenly, I am back to 48 Level for my player and back to my club team, as if a lot of years (technically just around 30-35 games) were suddenly lost. So, I go back to the 'Career' menu and go into the list of careers I started, the one with the loss data says it just saved my data 10 min ago. Also, there was a corrupted file in one of the careers. I know I am in the worst situation, as I can't get back my career data. I have always given BA the benefit of the doubt, and as a college-going student, I have spent top dollar on these games (DB 14- PC, DB 17- PC & PS4, ASHES CRICKET - PS4)!

I just am feeling lost now, I don't have the heart to make all this effort again. Just feel all the hours have gone down the drain. But, I also hope I am not labelled as a hater. I will still continue to buy BA's Games (Off-Topic: I am already planning to get AO Tennis if it gets good updates). So, I am very lost right now. Anything someone can offer me? Just need help

First off, sorry for that happening to you, when you say level lost, does that mean the date is the same as before?

Is that most recent save still working? If it is, copy it to usb and upload and I will look into what's going on in it and if there's anything that can be done to fix it.

firstly, why am i cc'd?
secondly, you feel betrayed, but you're still gonna buy all their games including one that was released circa 15% complete.

you're part of the problem mate.

 

[gideon_swrd]

Several people have said this repeatedly and I agree fully --- even if we don't know when the next patch is coming or what will be fixed, can we please get some clarity from BigAnt on the significance of player attributes? @MattW @BigAntStudios It really is strange to provide a whole bunch of sliders and not explain clearly how they impact the gameplay. I've managed to find a reasonable setting but it is still trial and error and possibly placebo effect

 

[DAP]

@funnyadit I'll look into that
@MattW I'll get back ASAP! II'l also PM the questions you asked
@blockerdave just wanted to know an old beta tester view, yep I think I am also partly part of the problem.

you're part of the problem mate.

Having reread the statement made I can better understand the sentiment shown.
