Cricket Academy 17 File Breakdown

[Gurjot95]

As with previous breakdown I did for DBC 14, it's time to do it again and keep you folks engaged and excited about what can come and what to expect in final game. Remember, most of these can be a placeholder and they might not be available be in final version, so always take these findings with a grain of salt. Another thing you should note is that my interpretation of words written in these files might be different from that of BA's. So these tags and ID's written in the files might be for some different usage than what it looks like.

This are the first impressions from the file specially for Career Mode. I'll add more as I discover anything new.

Retirement Reason - Injury - Lost Passion - Weary Body - More Time With Family

the whole career mode seems to have been lifted up, thats a lot of features there, the coach mode also looks interesting! Form is going to be a huge factor in career i guess, college players now this is going to be fun from the looks of it!

 

[blockerdave]

The repNSW / repQLD looks like a state of origin hangover from RLL3 so not sure about the other stuff but feeder club, injury and retirements all look promising

 

[Gurjot95]

Looks like this time, we're getting 13 stadiums if we exclude the nets ground. Can anyone understand what bowral ground stands for?

Oh btw, if my understanding from some variables is correct, looks like we're getting cheerleaders this time. Specifically different crowds and cheerleaders for different clubs.

 

[blockerdave]

Bowral = Bradman Oval

Retirement Reason - Injury - Lost Passion - Weary Body - More Time With Family

Can't wait to retire my entire clone Biggs team for "more time with family" ...the 'christmas round the dinner table' cutscene will be worth it.

SPECULATION AHOY...

Might suggest there is some form of team management requiring you to purchase/trade players? Perhaps the IPL auction some have asked for?

Club Cricket CONFIRMED. Booya. ...that's awesome.

"Other" Grade is intriguing though... Sits between Club and First Class? Indoor Grade.... Heh...

Stadiums
Ground_scg

Looks like they've retained the licence for the SCG but that looks to be the only officially licensed stadium aside form Bradman Oval?

Ground_nets

Playable nets "ground?" Or just the nets as per?

Hmmmm. Gotta assume this isn't the full list, be disappointing not to have at least one "Club" style ground?

If they add stadium creator , then creating club style grounds won't be a problem. There is a possibility , let's be optimistic.

From what I have gathered, let's just say you have every right to be optimistic. However till I can confirm those variables indeed refers to them, I won't post them here to avoid unnecessary debate and over the moon expectations of some people without any official news.

Meanwhile, I have added some more details to index regarding match details and stats that you can expect.

 

[Ajh1977]

The "other" club grading could be minor counties or even junior international level. Either would be fantastic. I doubt it's the full list though as a lot of what's in the first version of the academy is a carry over from DB14 I'm sure there will be a lot more added in the next few months.

 

[Biggs]

"Other" could also relate to custom match formats being included in career mode possibly? I would DIE if we could have SuperTests™ or Six4Six™ formats included as official modes in career...

More likely, it's probably a category for warm-up matches before a series, country "A" matches...

 

[blockerdave]

Yes in the current game other is anything that doesn't fit in fc/list a/t20 or their international equivalent

 

[Biggs]

...except to my knowledge there's no "other" competition in career mode?

 

[Markkkkk]

Maybe a 2nd XI county championship...

 

[Ajh1977]

It was the other that made me think it would be either age class international or minor counties, as warm up games for international still class as first class I think. I remember England playing Essex and it was a first class fixture. Tom Brennan scored a 100 but the match status was changed midway through the match due to a few injuries. Essex were allowed to draft in a few other players and so the status was changed and bressie missed out on a first class tom. Could also be 2nd xi games which would probably make more sense for career. Or it could mean custom tournaments can be set up for career.

 

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

Wow! This really steps up the excitement. Although things have been decoded we still have to wait for official announcement on those features. This increases the games longevity by 200% if we get all the things mentioned above. I for one would really love a stadium creator and I think we have the most complete (in terms of features) game ever.
