Batting and Bowling Nets now available in the Cricket Academy

[The_Pharoah]

I tried playing against finger spin (random - RH over the wicket) - oh my gosh...I could hardly hit the ball! lol. Some of the flight and drift on those balls is a bit on the 'wow' side.

Its 28kmph diff for all kind of pacers.
Medium, fast medium and fast.

I hope ur correct that higher rated player produces bigger difference of speed.

And I also hope someone from big ant can answer about this ....

That's way too much of a difference between slower and fast deliveries. It's a video game and it's extremely difficult to judge the pace and react accordingly so the difference in pace for slower and faster ones should be no more than 15-20 kph.

Question for folks who've tried bowling in DBC 17 Academy nets... can you bowl a no-ball with a spinner? In DBC 14 you couldn't and am hoping it's fixed.

Just wondering, if possible, if someone from big ant could look into an optional changes of colour for the ball (fluorescent green, yellow, pink etc? Because for people like myself who like to play without the coloured ring around the ball may find it hard like i do, to see the ball out in the outfield (making it harder to judge running between wickets) especially with the red ball and also in the shady pockets of the stadiums. Maybe it might make it easier to pick up during delivery aswell, and the academy nets would be a good place to trial them and get some feedback

There's a red coloured late when it's released really late so there should be.. There's speed and RPM shown so that's a welcome change..

An option to edge the ball deliberately to play the ball down to the 3rd man (not the late cut thing) would be great. You shouldn't be able to play a late cut when ball is close to the stumps. A new animation for that would be great. Shots should be different for different line and length deliveries.
Batsmen should be able to adapt to the line and length and play a different shot in the same direction. May be lack of animations are causing this thing.
And as @Madman said when i try to the glance or flick the ball finer ( RAS at 7/8 o clock), batsman plays late cut. Again lack of animations probably.
Pace Balls going for four after hitting the thigh pads, short pitch deliveries going to the boundary beating the batsman and the keeper over their head, these are the things which will make this game more realistic. I hope these suggestions will be implemented in the game.

i have 2 questions

1) Why we dont have broadcast cam in nets, is it removed only in nets or even in full game as well
2) Why on earth we need marker while bowling, is that also only in nets or even in full game?

 

[BigAntStudios]

Broadcast Cam in nets does not work for all sorts of good reasons.

There is no marker in the nets or the full game.

It would appear that you haven't played the nets yet? (or at least haven't bowled on *target*)

But still ... have improvements been made in the broadcast cam in the game?

Can we have a marker as an option?

(I have not played the nets. Don't have good enough PC).

 

[BigAntStudios]

Yes, all cameras have been tweaked.

No. There is no marker, never will be, it is not possible. @Westindies is mistaking the bowling target for a marker.

Why don't we have the option to enable marker ? Batting will become almost impossible. I might be thinking of advance shot and the ball would be bouncing and will have no idea. Is there a reason for not making it available through options ?

Have you played DBC14?

Actually there is an option for marker in the nets while batting..

No disrespect to you but this is the most asked and answered question after the meaning of life.

The ball marker cannot be produced because we do not have advance knowledge of when the ball will leave the hand. We do not bowl to a mark, we bowl based on the inputs.

This will be the last time I answer the question, ever.

It's more of opening the face of the bat actually. And I hope that animation is used for 4/5'oclock R Stick + Precision Shot input.

I have this issue too. Thought it was my controller as I had it in DBC14 too but not many reported it. Maybe it's our controllers?
