Don Bradman Cricket 14 - first impressions thread

I loved the catch at 6:30 instead of catching with two hands he held it against his chest...That's pure awesomeness....

There was a problem with overthrows which was causing

a) the higher run-rate
b) an abnormally high number of run-outs

This was addressed in the play-session thread

The game looks light-years ahead of any other cricket game.

I do worry that the realistic ball physics have some knock-on effects though; because the actual pace of the ball when bowled has to be slowed, it doesn't seem to bounce as much so doesn't go over the top of the stumps as often and also the keeper has to stand close to the stumps.

That and the fielders sliding too much without just collecting the ball on their feet are the main things I noticed.

As @C A Iversen wouldn't say, ^ this

Why did you get a six year old to do the picture?

You really know how to cut right to the core don't you

Regarding the behaviour of the ball when bowling; pitch settings were all random so we cant tell what type of pitch it was...

 

[Wuzi]

Wouldn't that mean the AI run-rate should be lower?

Means the AI will play with less care for their wicket, and give you more opportunity to get wickets, even if you give a half-decent ball.

Hi hassan thanks for the video ... what about the man of the match and presentation after match ... if I am not mistaken I think its in the game?

You are mistaken.

You can however see the MOTM in the top right side of the end of match screen.

This is the weird vertical hawk-eye I was talking about. It actually happens well after the full toss hits the pad.

Hopefully this is only a strange anomaly that happens with rare full tosses.

 

[Biggs]

Awesome that @Biggs and @blockerdave seem to be umpires out of the box!

I look forward to dismissing you without review!

 

[hamza10]

Hassan which pakistani stadium has been added to the game? And how it looks?

If you get Xbox Live I'll certainly want a match against you.

definitely. i purchased a subscription but haven't set it up. made the error of getting the 12 month for 25.90 instead of 13 months for 26.90 - schoolboy error.

annoyingly i am sure i clicked the 13 month link!
