DBC 17 Batting post Patch 3

I have a hunch the logo issues are coming from where people are collaborating on creating teams and different users are re sharing the same logo.
I have no major issues with my own logos but have experienced issues with other user created stuff.

I think this is my current working theory too. Quite how or why that buggers up gameplay I don't know.

It's strange cos I would think if I made a logo and shared it, and you then added it to a team and shared the team it would still have the same id. Maybe the game creates another version. I have occasionally had duplicate issues with my own logos but that has been where my academy beta user name is different to my Xbox one and also the other profile I am using means I have re shared my logos through 2/3 profiles with some of them. The reason for this was due to an issue during the beta where logos were an issue, I un shared, deleted and re shared several assets around that time. It took me a while to go through deleting duplicate assets but now this profile (pro1) is mostly working great. The only stutter I get is playing in 3 tier stadiums.

Is there any way we can see pitch conditions later in the match? I dont see it. If not, i hope this is included in next patch.

I always take a screenshot of the pitch conditions at the beginning of the match and the multi-day forecast: not ideal but all I can think of at the mo.....

I would also add that viewing the stadium scoreboard should be added as well similar to what you can do in DBC 14.

Good idea!

There's a few ways I can think of that user created content could stuff up the feeling of the game, the most likely though is some kind of memory leak taking up too may resources on logos, bats, etc and not leaving enough CPU/RAM available to effectively calculate physics and shot animations.

The other possible scenario is that the update doesn't work properly over the top of user created content for some reason, and is corrupting the settings for batting timing, etc. You could test this by doing a clean install, updating the patch, then downloading everything you had installed prior when it wasn't working as it should. If it still plays fine, then it's probably the patch not applying properly. If it screws up again, it's most likely a memory/resource issue from too much, or a specific user generated content.

Apologies for misrepresentation I thought you'd said in the beta convo you hadn't batted pre patch.

I have to say I'm surprised you don't see the difference it feels huge to me. As I say there is stuff happening on PS4 now that never happened pre patch and didn't happen when I payed on the PC.

If I could roll back the patch I would in a heart beat. Allowing for the limitations I was still enjoying it pre patch: I haven't enjoyed a single session's play post patch.

I agree blocker not really liking it I also found the AI seems dumbed down even on pro had some good games before patch now post patch 3 the AI is no challenge and feels like they get out playing cheap shots and the same shot

How do you delete all your data and start again on PS4. Is there an icon in the game or must I do that from the PS4 menus?

@cricket_online @christy_lenin1 @Max Walker @anyoneinterested:

So this afternoon I remembered an issue I was having pre patch when playing the 2nd test of my rebel tour. Inexplicably South Africa started setting ODI fields at the beginning of the test and just bowling the openers continually without any change. I remembered a post @BigAntStudios made about some of the other issues people were having actually being corrupt logos, and also that I had downloaded several teams just before I started the match for the first time.

I deleted all my data, re-downloaded the rebel tour teams and started again - hey presto, correct fields and normal bowling changes.

So tonight I've deleted all my data, and downloaded only my WSC teams. Well it's a different game.

I've batted 50 overs tonight and experienced none of the issues of early timing window, odd shot placement, unable to pull, keep getting reverse cut etc. that I was getting continually before. Moreover I actually had fun! (Or as much as fun as you can grinding out less than 3 an over against Dennis Lillee..)

Might be worth a shot for you or anyone else experiencing similar issues.

Has it improved how the AI plays meaning are they batting better I'm playing the first Ashes test from 82/83 series and have England 5/53 and are really disappointed that its so easy to get AI out since patch 3 update since then the AI hasn't made more than 200 runs beforehand they were making 400+ if deleting everything doesn't work I think I wiil go back to playing DBC 14

I had no problem before patch 3 was finding it quite fun and a challenge hopefully he can give me some insight on this issue

I just got run out for 200 in a state shield match playing for NSW and my stats say my highest score is 166*. I feel so ripped off. Never hit a double ton yet and now ifficially it doesn't count.

Dunno only seen it from the batting perspective so far where it is transformed. I was playing something else entirely before.
