Honestly you should be bloody stoked you can get casual to work!! I've been trying sporadically today to get ANY other mode aside from Career (which has started hitting the crashing phase) to work. Unfortunately the only casual games I can get to work involve very specific teams and inevitably crash after 5 or so overs anyway. It seems some people are getting really lucky with what bugs they are getting whilst others are getting really tweaked over with glitches - myself being one of them! I'm grateful for people uploading their gameplay to youtube so at least I can live vicariously through them. Fingers crossed we get some sort of response from Big Ant shortly because I'd love to know when I can expect to be able to play the game!!

I think BA have already said that these crashes are due to the academy and not the game itself - and will be fixed in patch 2.

Awesome, do you have a source for that so I can have a look? I have yet to see anything specific outside of one tweet by BA about censored names.

The downloading issues are also to do with the actual data - we didn't expect people to be playing as yet.... if the patch goes through it should fix most crashing issues including the "get best"

thanks for your compliments bhai..ur company and conversation my plasure
 
I haven't got the game yet (waiting for it as a Christmas present) but from reading around the forum it obviously has some flaws.

Do we know how long it will take BA to release the patch? Just thinking it would be better for the general customer to have all the crashes fixed if people (like me) have it coming for Christmas, would save a lot of time and money as I'm sure the average customer would not be as forgiving as some on here.

General Gameplay issues can and I'm sure will be worked around, but a nightmare scenario for the BA team would be for all those people to get the game at Christmas and for it to crash and to be demanding a refund, giving bad reviews etc.

Suppose what I'm trying to get at is it would be best all round if the BA team could push through a patch before Sunday!!

I didn't say there was any silence from you I said "If there's any silence it's because they're working" I don't read much of the forum and don't know your daily activity but people throughout the thread had mentioned it and I'll comment where I see fit. I don't have the game because it's on not out on PC so feel free to ignore my posts so they don't slow you down.

Well I must say that I am very impressed with the revolution you guys have brought in the world of cricket game. I must say that I was very excited for the launch of the new game "don bradman cricket 17". I ordered a physical copy online and I also bought a digital copy from psn USA and I own in and I have played it myself, I repeat that I have purchased and played it myself.

I have a few questions for you. Again, I am not targeting anyone of you as I have full faith in your abilities and I strong believe that you guys have done an amazing job so far and you will continue to do so in future

1. The very first thing I did (or anyone would do) when they get the game is to "replace for the best team" and that was an error to begin with. Imagine someone paying good money for a game and first thing they deal with is a bug itself? How and what would you feel? How can you guys be so careless or ignorant? Explain

2. The commentary in this game is the worst you'll see in any sports game. How did you guys even come up with the idea of adding this sort of commentary in the game? Don't tell me that you guys didn't notice that the commentary in this game actually made it look even worse. If you didn't then I'm sorry to say but you need to hire a new team. Majority didn't like your commentary and I mean it. The timing of commentary is very bad. They say different things at different times. I mean it's a a big chaos and it's very very annoying and depressing to see that you and your team even allowed this to be a part of such an amazing game or atleast an amazing effort. People are replacing the commentary with crowd sounds and all, please work on it and release a new commentary patch in future. You have to!!

3. Major bugs in the game.
A) Batsmen taking a stance all the way at popping crease of the bowler
B) Umpire giving the batsmen out even when he's been caught by a fielder who's way inside the boundary line
C) Game crashing most of the time while playing custom tournaments
D) Random game crashes out of nowhere. I mean in my first hour of gameplay, my game crashed for about 2-3 times and this is totally unacceptable for any game

All this didn't happen once but a lot of times. I understand there is a patch fix coming for that but most of this shouldn't be happening on the first place. Regardless of the fact that your game was released a week before the actual date, this can't be happening. Please elaborate why?

Forget about all the small bugs. You guys deserve the benefit of doubt as there is no such thing as a perfect game.


I would also like to make a suggestion if that helps. This game could easily become one of the best cricket games if you guys put some more time on it and work on more patches in future before even thinking about a third edition of "DBC". So you guys need to release few patches before we all move on and you have to makeup for the terrible experience everyone is going through. Just like you guys, we all have invested our time and effort in this game as well.

Again I am not trying to bring anyone down. Me and a lot others do have a lot of expectations from you and your team. It's not a personal attack on anyone but I am just trying to be more logical as to why these things shouldn't happen. Again, my apologies of anyone's sentiments got hurt as I might sound frustrating (the game made me so)

Amd the distinct lack of any player statistics in career and tournament modes.

I think I can answer this one - as BA have already said the 22nd December was supposed to be the original street date (I believe) and Ross and the BA team in general didn't expect people to be playing this early on and therefore there has been a crash with the academy that will be fixed in the next patch.

Guessing the above goes for all crashes in the game (or at least most).

I agree that there was a 7 day prior release but the bugs we are talking about here are very basic. If they couldn't fix those bugs to begin with then God help them.

Also the commentary, even a week's delay in release couldn't save us from this torture loll
