Cricket 19 General Discussion

So, they did a press day on Monday for the UK press. They did something with an Australian streamer (maybe also Aus press) this week. I imagine the embargo will be lifted tomorrow (Friday) or Monday. After that there will be write ups from the news outlets, and maybe some gameplay videos. England play their first game tomorrow, so the ECB may want to release info/remove embargo to coincide with the game, or will wait until Monday.

This is my rational prediction using the information available. Following the flights of a CEO seems like overkill in search of this mythical 'trailer'.
 
No disrespect, but you're firing out absolute guesses with little to back it up. Where are you plucking them from?

I think if anyone is going to make statements with confidence levels like this then you *have* to be including citations and showing your working out.
That's cool. It was a joke and I was half asleep when I posted. https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidt...o-play-apex-legends-which-is-way-too-little/#

Generally speaking, it makes a lot of sense to do this sort of thing, whether it's triple A publisher or Big Ant. If you can get eyes on your game by the target audience you want, for hours on end, it's far better than a 30-60 second advert on TV or potentially even a YouTube trailer that might catch the attention of some of your target audience. BR's or FPS are a different ball park to a cricket game, of course.

Same here... My last educated guess being 28th April, was based on the fact that AC had it's trailer released exactly a month before release.

I think it's just the difference between ECB and CA, on how they want to market the game. CA did it one way for AC, ECB wants to do it another way for CA19.

Less than 4 Weeks from now.

I don't follow this. Has it ever been said that EITHER board are actually controlling the marketing of the game? It's highly unusual: I think that someone may have misunderstood something that led to this. There's a publisher involved - It would be incredibly weird if the marketing of the game was actually being controlled by a cricket board.

They will have input, and they will be helping out, but BA (or publisher) will surely be leading the strategy.
 
I have to say...I don't think I've ever known less about a game weeks prior to its release. The fact that no information has been released really makes me think it's an tweaked build of Ashes and they will wait until the last minute before releasing any gameplay footage.
 
I really hate big ants marketing they always hide behind excuses and cry about expense and fund problem, cmon atleast 30 second gameplay feature in 3 or 4 videos even your own team can make these videos free

To be honest, I am speaking based on what I've read here and in general. It's just my way of making sense of seeing so little info about the game, gameplay wise (just facts here and no offence, as I am anyway going to buy it).

If you notice, I always visit the forums only when the game is about to release and bugs reporting and occasional conversations, and generally I do buy the game on day one.
