Ashes Cricket General Discussion

[Kass D]

Decent stats mate! The dream for any cricket stats nerd is to have a cricinfo profile, very jealous!

@LittleBigPlanet definitely ignorance, I misinterpreted what he said. I do remember thanks to @funnyadit that it didn't really matter what the ball was you could play both front and back to it and it wouldn't be an issue in DBC 14. But I've found that even going back to a bouncer on a soft pitch in Ashes Cricket has ended up with my stumps all over the place and vice versa trying to drive a bouncer I would completely miss it.

No biggy. Its common to have a avarage of 20 for a spinner over here in sri lanka

That does happen mainly when bowler is slow and the pitch lacks pace..Its more like a flight delivery from a medium pacer and it gets hard to go back..Thats the reason that they could lower the bat level for backfoot shots based on the bounce as well so that it appreciate more people to go backfoot as well in that time of response...Also Dutch mentioned we can now respond to a ball even after bouncing which makes it really interesting as to what level of freedom is given to us in terms of timing and shot selection..

Yes, Patch Adams will be on it. But why tag them?

Medium pacers could do with a bit more speed, I find that's often why you get the low bounce. Since I've bumped up the minimum bowling speed I've had fewer instances of being bowled by short balls.

Exactly. Bounce and carry should not depend on Pace sliders. Impact of modifying pace sliders should only be visual.

Legend ABD's master class again sent aussies bowlers all over the ground .He is the difference between two teams.

Is the ball more red now
Can we choose between duke, kookaburra and sg ball
Has the fielding/catching improved in the patch
Has the academy improved with extra features and facial features/tones
It would be nice to have feedback from beta team

 

[Culmernation]

Sounds like the new AO Tennis patch is a little unstable, be careful what you wish for guys

Hi,
Just bought the game for Xbox one, and I'm really disappointed with the timing of the shots when batting, the only way to get ideal timing is to hit the right analoge literally straight after the seamer bowls, which gives you zero time to see what ball is being bowled. Is there anyway to change it to button controls for hitting the ball rather than analogue triggers. Before I take it back to be traded... thanks

Work is being done to remedy this: in the meantime you can switch to standard controls and/or modify the batting settings
