[MattW]

Can we have a direct link to the setup ?

No. The Academy is downloaded through Steam, which you can get here.

Good work in categorizing the players into

Batting all-rounder
Bowling all-rounder
And complete all-rounder

Skills also can b set accordingly. Gr8.

Gaining skill points while playing offline casuals and other modes...and then using those players for online matches will b interesting.

That's not the case.

 

[chaman82]

Will b Interesting to see how the teams can b filled with players....
Adding top rated 15 all-rounders in a team should not b possible . Specially in online gaming..

Still downloading....
Will there be feature like those implemented by 2kStudios in WWE2k16 where WWE2k16 Players can scan their faces and create players.
I mean this

It will be possible - however a 'top rated' all-rounder will not be able to have 100 ratings in all categories.

By default, the quick matches online will have a similar scaling system, so that two custom created teams are evenly matched even if someone chooses to fill teams that way. As previously there will be the option to not scale teams in custom match modes.

No.

Matt are you able to answer the following: will I be able to set up a national domestic league with two or three divisions and relevant format cup fixtures?

I am going to happily spend the next six months creating all the teams for my fantasy netherlands domestic league! 24 teams! Great way to bide the time until then......whats everyone else going to be doing?

playing franco's hack

@MattW I tried to find my teams, i used the search on username contains connors and it didn't return anything, just kicked me back to the menu. so i tried on player surname contains humpage and i found Geoff Humpage, but I couldn't download him so I'm not going to be able to edit anything??

Probably not with multiple divisions, however you might be able to utilise one of the on disk leagues that have different divisions to get something close-ish.

Will be able to confirm the exact things that will be possible closer to release.

Downloading/editing of DBC14 era players will be unlocked at a later stage.

Matt, I think there's a bug or maybe I am doing it wrong, when i import a picture from overlay option the picture displays, i am able to adjust the size and transparency but I failed to move it, no matter I drag it up and down or left and right it keeps adjusting the transparency. Is it a bug or am i doing it wrong? Btw tested the academy thoroughly no other bugs found, just waiting for other content to be unlocked The new radar type adjustments are a bit tricky but would allow a good depth. And also did not found any option to import players from DBC 14, will it be available later?

Ah ok. I got the impression from your earlier post it was possible now. No worries.

I tried to find my teams, i used the search on username contains connors and it didn't return anything, just kicked me back to the menu.

Turns out that the search matches from the front of the name - so you'll need to search either your whole username, or the bit from the front. I found your players with 'mrdconnors'.

Is it a bug or am i doing it wrong?

Looking into this now.

 

[grkrama]

the academy looks sleek, and the player models are great.


The issue im having with player transiton from older academy are

all asian players are being dark color

EX : this is the Dhoni i made in dbc 14 transition

2. Apart from skin color i also notice that the heads are more elongated for all players compared to the dbc14 counter parts!

First Impressions:

• Player Models look very tidy, near-lifelike. Less comic-y than DBC14 which isn't a slight on that game, just an obvious visual upgrade.
• Pretty much similar depth of customization to the previous academy, nice additions like...
• Neck Tattoos!
• Unable to download any players from the previous academy currently? They don't translate as well as hoped, but easily tweaked hopefully.
• Slider mechanism for editing player features is much easier.
• Interface is clean, everything lives in a category. Easier to navigate with a controller than keyboard/mouse which makes sense
• Block/Grid layout of the academy is very Windows.
• Can't wait to be able to download my teams/characters and get editing.

We're still working on refining that transformation - as part of this release we'd certainly like people to their old creations and bring up any cases where there's particularly big changes with some comparative screenshots and we can see where things need improvement.

Equally, try making them in the new one, in case you can get closer than ever.

That said, part of it is simply that there's more detail shown on the players in the new game, so finer details that weren't as obvious in the old one would now be more visible.
