DBC17 Cricket Academy Discussion

[kamrul]

I don't understand how people are ok with this thread though. We already knew about the ambiguous tweet, it was just another shitpost from some guy subtly begging for the academy early. Sick of every bloody “own Friday’s Ross” shitpost in the 3 years or whatever it’s been on these boards. Just another way people beg for information.

This thread should have been opened when the academy was released, some guy makes a shit thread, gets called out on it and then doubles down on his bullshit by posting some twitter PM, and now is acting like the thread should be closed when he's realised what a tool he's been?

Rightio.

Now you are pushing it. Do you even know how to read and understand. Troll! -_- you are just embarrassing yourself. Now this is as humble as it gets.

What?

What?

BRAB .... Dude just relax, you are not a moderator, believe it or not. Forums are here for discussion and most are very excited for the game. The thread isnt irrelevant, so as I say, relax chum.

@Pirate12 you are angry that some one is jumping the wagon on release dates

kamrul didn't make this thread - I split it out from where it was off topic in the features you'd like to see thread. Amazingly enough - something having its own thread means people who are not interested in that discussion can ignore it and keep the other threads on topic.

When the Academy is released, there will be a new thread announcing that - probably from Ross. Until then, this is the place for discussion about that release, and not about whether this thread should exist or not, or what you think about Biggs.

So...., From what i see from their twitter handle, the academy will be released next week but with no game play features. Right?
Or, am I missing something? And the game release is tentatively during December ?

Yes re academy. All I've seen for release is 4q, in time for Christmas.

By actually providing the source, albeit with a screenshot rather than just directly linking to the tweet. That is exactly what people should be doing.

If this is a place were you can ask for features for academy, i would like better keyboard and mouse support for the academy, one of the things i find really difficult in the dbc14 academy is scrolling through huge list of teams or players, i would like to be able to get to teams by say pressing a letter like say w or j it should jump to those teams on the list! Also for things like sponsors too a drop down menu or atleast this same jumping based on letters if possible! Also for field settings editor being able to set fields by mouse would be a god send especially hopefully as dbc 17 i 'm expecting more field positions to open up!


I know Academy is made keeping controller experience of consoles in mind, but since the early ground work and huge amount of it is done in PC i would like it to be a bit more friendly towards keyboard and mouse, and this will really save quite a bit of time and generate much more content on release!

Problem is that right now there are keyboard keys assigned mapped to the actions that would otherwise be controller buttons - and those are used throughout the menus - not just in the academy section.

Probably won't be able to do anything for the first academy release regardless.

then some sort of quick scroll system, like say being able to control the 'scroll bar ' by flicking the stick to the right and scrolling instead of running through the lists maybe it would be better not sure though ! Ya not expecting it in first iterations, would be better to check out the latest academy and then offer suggestions based on its experience!
