Ashes Cricket General Discussion

Yes

And is it best to do the usual, “replace all teams with best” or download the best from the community once you get the game?

Haven’t seen this option in the community page as of yet ?

I have played every cricket game since Graham Gooch's way back. Shane Warne 99 has been the pinnacle of all cricket games and Codemasters obviously understood how cricket was played and what a gamer wanted in a cricket game (EA gave a nice edition in cricket 07).
Ross and the team at Big Ant have been giving us some enjoyable games with the Don Bradman series so far especially the career mode and I have thoroughly enjoyed playing a series that had a team behind it who listened to the gamers and understood the game of cricket.
Ashes Cricket is an incredible and massive step up from past cricket games. In fact I am going to be bold and say I have that same feeling I had when playing Shane Warne 99. The animations and graphics are beautiful in this game and the instant replay is constantly being viewed. All the FIFA and Madden comparisons are getting old. There is so much to like about this game. Now my son's have grown up I can once again sit back and enjoy playing a cricket game that rivals Shane Warne 99 and play the game without going on about my past experiences . Also my boys can finally say shut up dad that's old news now. Well done Big Ant, I am super impressed and it can only go upwards from here. 9/10

This game is unbelievable. It's the best ever by far. Ofcoz there are few things to work on such as
1) AI taking singles in the out field
2) stumping issue
3) maybe better pre site field positions

But really BA have done something spacial.

Just playing my first odi South Africa (me) vs India (ai)

Am batting
Lost AB and de kock very fast . But thanks to a blinder by Miller 92 of 98 and f du pleesis 40 of 51. Contributions with middle and teilenders made 254/9.

Playing on legend so will be tuff to win but let see how it gose

Again BA and testers .. you guys really pulled it off

for the 1000th time.... the PC version is coming out just before Christmas!

Without meaning to dampen the spirits, there was also a mention about a small chance that the PC version might get delayed even more if reports of DBC17 are to be believed. That's why I wouldn't say it's confirmed yet. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

30% of the first test squad didn’t get face scanned. It’s rotten luck.

So let me guess they give 32 players to BA for face scan and in the selection of ashes they picked 3-4 players out of that 32 WOW

I might have to do the same as I did for DBC14. Get it on PS4 now and get it on PC when it comes out. So want to be playing - but hate the PS4 load times in career mode.

For people who want to see how the static cameras work while batting, I just recorded a couple (one for far static and one for close static)

Will there be change in controls - stick movement when you opt for this camera.

Static cameras are awesome addition to the game. I used the closed one for batting and it was an amazing experience. Hats off to @BigAntStudios

Unfortunately, not a fan on console gaming. So even if the wait is longer, PC is the way to go for me.

So want to be playing - but hate the PS4 load times in career mode.

I had noticed that too. It's something I hope won't be the case in PC version.

@BigAntStudios @MattW, you did it!!! You guys have delivered the game that ppl have been looking for quite so long... the gameplay, graphics, animation, mocaps, crowd, Mel Jones, camera options, weather variations (overcast conditions with rain effects...wonderful atmosphere!!!) All good stuff!!!
A few tweaks still needed but overall amazing cricket experience!!! 9/10 for me.
