Cricket 19 General Discussion

[Ace123]

Just to lob a speculation pie up to the batsman of hype, it is possible that they haven't set out a definite marketing strategy because they are awaiting a late licensing decision. Perhaps the licence for the world cup nations in imminent.

It would explain 'cricket 19' as opposed to 'ashes 19'.

Who knows.

Spicy theory!!

Good theory but wouldn't be dubbed as the 'Official Game Of The Ashes' if that was the case imo.

Maybe theyre just looking to move away from the Ashes branding so they can release games in years when the Ashes isn't on.

Not in increasing order or anything like that (just a quick note of whats coming to my mind at this moment)

Removing the limit of logos bats & stadiums in Academy (will make it so useful for everyone here to make variety of kits stadiums without worrying about space)

Improving Academy updating of teams & kits ( at present we have to individually select each team/kit from a users list ) If there could be a way to download all the listed results of a particular user at 1 go rather than 1 at a time...(famous creators on the academy have so many creations which list to almost 200+ which makes the updating task daunting & monotonous & on top of that the limited space)

Scenario modes & its shareability aspect (the creativity can be endless...This will take the already legendary game to a whole new level for us ..The scenarios can be out the countless ones in the history of the game which is simply amazing)

Deep career mode with realistic layoff (poor form) & injuries (changing batting orders depending of match situation) & also ability to unlock batting/bowling styles (may be even unlockable by career xp ) & ability to change player type from pure batsman/bowler to an alrounder (& vice versa) which increases the option to allocate the xp to other skills as well, since it is possible in reality as a player evolves....This can make the career modes really interesting to play in the long term rather than repetitive because at present once you select as a batsman/bowler & later if you feel the need to bowl/bat occasionally you have no option but to start a new career mode...The simple logic being if at present it is possible to change appearance & equipment infinitely, then why not the ability to change batting style & batsman type (which are actually possible in real life as a player evolves in his/her career)

New batting / bowling styles (i know it may be too late now but still some hope)

Better AI mentality while batting bowling & fielding

More options for camera angles (TV style) and also ability to tweak zoom & height of camera (like in FIFA)

Better square cut & square drive options depending on the bounce of the ball....At present there is only one square cut animation of delivery near the chest height...In case of spinners or a low bounce the ball simply passes far below the bat...Even in case of a backfoot square cut to a spinner the ball is usually at the waist level or sometimes even below it...I hope they can bring more options to hit such deliveries...

Better flick shot like in DBC 14

Better control over coming "down the wicket "
Currently we need to always premeditate by clicking RS....There should be an option to toggle it or exercise it so as to not make it premeditated...because the delivery may not be suitable to come down the track...Also the animation of down the track is standard irrespective of the line & length of the delivery...as a result many times even it the trigger of coming down the wicket is timed well the batsman simply cannot precisely come towards the pitch of the ball to be able to connect well...It rather hits his shoes or pads or simply misses to get bowled or stumped or plum Leg before...making it less motivating to come down the wicket & loft

Sorry for the long post

Thanks...

They Always change everything each year and don't keep the good stuff, I will very surprised if anything changes without fixing the other issues we have been asking for...

Ok OK...If they don't have the staff and money to give us a finished game and timely updates.... why not do some creative stuff like for instance...
License a stadium put it in the game give us as a DLC Stadiums,
License a Player... Example new players Nabi, Gill, Hetmer, Shai Hope, Hoder , Curran, Archer... approach em Mocap them Sell us the DLC.... Fix the game with that money..make a profit We are happy, BA is happy...

Be Creative if you need my services BA please message me... Every cricket fan with a means to play the game should have it BA, you are the only Horse in town... Please do something to Fix the game and make it better...

BA please call me...monetize and fix the game...

One Billion People BA... Lets say people who love cricket with consoles is PS4 is a 2 million minimum India, Austrailia, UK, South africa, The West Indies just to name the major console players... atleast half of them with proper game and marketing is your market... Advertise Forums like this BA--- Let them know that there is a community BA--monetize and get us a game that fully works

Most of you wont agree...

What I am seeing in India, even though I live abroad (that too in Hong Kong, which is quite the gamer hub, but more so for RPG and other things, even FIFA), is that more people are willing to pay for things than in the past, and that includes games as well. It is clear if you see recent streaming services coming to India.

Eventually, BCCI may see potential or for that matter ICC as well, and if pattern suggests, BA will be their first choice given their current approval by CA and ECB, and also fans.

It'll happen gradually, but it will happen is my prediction and my hope as well.

Edited: Included something unintentional

A little heads up........Anybody planning on bringing piracy up in the conversation at this point.......dont.

Lets not go down that path.

Just changed the example, so acknowledged

Who knows.

This could be one of the reason who knows. If BA get officially world cup license teams in the game that would be a big accomplishment. So many variables at this point but the closer we get to the release date things will unfold.

I wish the cricket discussion forums saw some of the traffic that seems to occur here every hour.
