Cricket 24 - General Discussion

[T.J.Hooker II]

I had a quick look and saw a batsman hitting spin for 6 on the up repeatedly and then getting out to a half volley.

In one minute I saw the batter with a middle stump guard do an unnatural motion to somehow get to a ball on the fifth to sixth stump line to play a leg glance in the air for six.

Peak realism right there folks.

@JNT BA Hey, any news coming up on Cricket 24? It's been long and we would love to hear or see a few development..

Hmm, I've had a slightly more detailed look.


Ok, so pace bowler. Back of a length. Should come through waist / thigh high, at least. Maybe a low pull shot is on. Maybe there's enough width for some kind of back foot force.

Ball pitches on that length.

Batsman now seems to have magically advanced a few steps in a single frame, back foot now around the front line. Ball looks about knee high, rising and going right.

2 balls visible on screen here (is there a third in front of the gloves?). One in the same place as the previous shot, another travelling on what looks like previous trajectory, comfortably missing the bat.



Clearly, the path of the swing here is delivering the middle of the bat nowhere near the path of the delivery, unless possibly the delivery stopped in that identical spot to enable the swing to catch up. If there's an interception at all it should be high on the bat, up around the splice. Really, that delivery just looks like it ought to pass by the outside shoulder of the bat, keeper moving over to his left a couple of steps to take.

Where does the ball end up?

You trying to get yourself another beta gig?

 

[T.J.Hooker II]

The beta team is just an old cricket myth. If the beta team really existed then there'd be at least one Shane Watson press conference blaming them for a bad lbw review.

Camera guys falling over too?

Some say it was a Channel 9 cameraman. Some say it was a beta team member investigating bouncer byes.

Either way, sending a dude careering around the outfield on a Segway during matches is a pretty bonkers idea but still way more sensible than letting Shane Watson call his own lb reviews.

 

[T.J.Hooker II]

Actually, just thinking about Shane Watson lbws reminds me of one of the things I really like about the whole DBC / Cricket series : playing with the helmetcam view, there's a strong "feel" response to lbw shouts. If I'm plumb I know as it hits the pads.

That's some nice naturalistic cricket gaming action, imo.

I hate the fact you're not allowed to queue a run if you're about to be given out.

Takes away that split second intrigue

Made me chuckle. I started this whole thing without giving my own opinion. You know what I think? The whole thing just an Unreal engine render. NOT an actual game. If you notice, both trailers have the exact same animations save a couple different bowlers in each. The motion blur, lighting and even some of the animations look peculiarly similar to the stock Unreal engine stuff. I just wanted to know what you guys thought before going and raining on the youtubers' parades. Glad most of the people here know what they are talking about. Had a heated online argument with a gamer who would not listen to reason at all. I am now going to just sit back and enjoy the popcorn as it all unravels. Sure even if it ends up being a game, it is going to be subpar at best with the amount of inconsistency seen in the trailers. Its all hype and nothing more. After all, the company making this so called Dream Cricket game is the same Dream as Dream11, a company that more or less encourages people to waste their money gambling online.

Always been a gripe of mine.. DRS is wasted in the game as it's always pretty obvious when your out. I'd love some nicks that u can't hear but maybe see.. or anything that makes the reviews more worthwhile.

 

[T.J.Hooker II]

I've had a few good lbw reversals when it's been close. The "no run is possible if the ump is about to give you out" is a niggle but getting the reversal afterwards is still nice.

Edges do seem to be very clear cut - not sure I remember ever seeing a faint edge although I couldn't swear to that - so the reviews aren't doing a lot for those.

 

[Master Khan]

Its cool how Dream cricket 24 also got Shoaib Akhtar bowling action and run up.
Wish Big Ant can add more bowling run ups and action.
