Don Bradman Cricket 14 - first impressions thread

Or, instead of the names, like in "some" game,,,we be allowed to toggle between names or an arrow on top of their heads and even be able to turn on/off...

Every fielder with names on top will be be a tad too much, even at silly point, the screen will just be full of "HUD"

I like my screen clean and HUD-less
 
Instead of labeling the fielders while you look around, how about showing the fielding radar just for the time we're looking at the field and then it disappears when we're ready to bat. Just like in real broadcast and maybe when there is a field change, just show the moving camera around whole ground indicating a field change. Then again I don't have a game so what do I know..
 
Ross also can you make it easy to set a custom field...instead of changing each one can it be like pick from those spots and place on a different one...
 
in the 1st pic the wide on shouldn't it be deep fine leg or something ? just wondering but it looks great. often the simplest things make the biggest difference :)
 
It's in front of the bat. "Wide Long On" would probably be more appropriate.

Just got confused with the umpire there... lol :) thought it was side umpire and behind leg.. my bad. :)

In order to get things through quickly for the first patch - now pulled - we want to make it simple.

There will also be a slide-out indicating "Field Change" whenever the field has changed to stop you unnecessarily looking around.

This idea is definitely a better one than what many suggested. Simple yet effective. You can always make it more pretty afterwards.

Anyway, while we are on the "Field Change" indicating, can it be possible to include the "remaining overs" more prominently while you are chasing a score? For instance, we often see the slide that you require 165 runs to win, but it doesn't always show the remaining overs (when there are 10-15+ overs left).

Similarly, when you select the scoreboard from the menu, the remaining overs (I guess) are not shown at the top. Manual calculation of the overs may seem a bit distracting in a tense, calculated chase. I think it won't require a lot of efforts from your team.

Thanks for all your hardwork! :thumbs

@BigAnt/Ross/Mike: Just a small suggestion.

It would be great if you could kindly list down all the points that you'll be having as an "agenda" for your 1st patch. This way, we'll know what fixes we can expect. But more importantly, if some important (yet a very simple fix) misses out from the agenda, the forum users will be in a position to mention it.
 
The first patch will be minimal so as to get it out asap.
 
That's the top 3 from my point of view.

Then we let it settle down and see what's real.


As of now , by playing complete week end I have gone through 1 year of 20 yrs career. So i Planned to do it for 20 more weeks. If these issues are resolved then I can play it for more 2 years minimum.. lot of enjoyment .. super work from Bigant .. And nice support by Bigant..:cheers


@Ross Your signature is awesome ... Good to know about this ..:lol

Hi Ross. thanks for the incoming patch! It's great when developers show a commitment to improving and fixing their products.

What about the superhuman fielding... I am assuming this is a more tricky issue to fix? do you think it's possible in the short/medium term to balnce this out more with a patch? Or maybe you don't consider it an issue at your end?

This. If it isn't hard to fix the superpowers then it seems like it might go a long way toward balancing.

Change These 2 lines and its job done.

Flying fielders = 0
Laser guided throw = 0
