First of all thanks to BA for the nets
Since I batted exclusively on front foot in dbc14 I didnt find any new animation in batting strokes, the backfoot animations feel new, the batting animations are more fluid then ever, the pull shot followthrough is very nice, the batsman doesn't stuck after playing shot instead comes back to crease nicely, leave button change is handy, now we can play advance grounded shots too with
LAS up + RAS button + RT + RAS anywhere you like to place the shot, the lofted sweep shot to spin lead to many top edges going to short fine leg, batted on legend to face spin to see the edges and got one flying through shoulder of bat to slips.
Bowling is so much improved than dbc 14,
the ball release is flawless, bowler is hitting the deck like a genuine fast bowler, we can use crease finally now as well bowl low full tosses, there is so much in bowler's armoury now that i am so tempted to start a exclusive fast bowler career in dbc17(not done yet in dbc14) provided the AI edges issue is sorted out. The spin trajectories are exaggerated as well as inverse which will be sorted ofcourse.
As ross said there are many more animations in the game, I am only hoping for multiple batting and bowling animations to choose and assign from.
