Are you guys joking? I’ve played all four games exhaustively and this one is so superior to previous titles. I got so frustrated with the bugs in the last game but this game is such a step up.
This game has more than “potential”. I’ve vented my frustrations, namely about the career ending bug in A17, on here before and agree that outfield catches are limited but the edges and clean bowleds are unreal. Some of the batting shots are wonderful too. Before we consider the theatre.
I’m not a full on Career Mode person. I enjoy customising and playing as England in custom leagues. There’s real context and longevity to the game. I’m not sure what other people do with the game but the customisation is unparalleled. That said, Career is still an enjoyable mode to play on occasions.
I appreciate what the original poster said, “it’s close”. Yes it’s not perfect (Player double stats bug in Academy) but it’s far closer than the last two so I don’t agree with saying all titles since DBC14 have regressed because this is certainly progression on many levels.
We’ve already had numerous patches but they haven’t set us back like previous versions. They’ve been small tweaks that given the original state of the game haven’t been overly noticed.
I’d lost faith in Big Ant, had huge trepidation about this offering but I’m a believer once again!
Hope you guys get enjoyment out of the game.
I appreciate your angles and I’ll criticise the game where merited but I think they’ve/it’s come a long way.
