Don Bradman Cricket 14 General Discussion

[barmyarmy]

I just edited the teams' home grounds so all my county games are at the two English grounds.

Reason for it happening more generally is that a lot of teams would have been first created back when the Cricket Academy didn't have the home ground selection as part of it - so everything defaulted to Melbourne.

I personally suggest changing it so you're seeing a bunch of different grounds - having everything at the same grounds is really repetitive, no matter how much you like Chicken.

I set it to UK because I felt the Aussie grounds had more bounce. Haven't really played at most the non-Aus/Eng ones.

Given my point was one of customisation/variety rather than balance, I'd say you missed it entirely. Twice.

Make it a third time then. That part was ironic, and I found it amusing. I still find it ironic and amusing, regardless of any point you were trying to make.

I'm still confused as to what was Ironic!

Someone cue up some Alanis Morrisette...

Makes no difference in my experiences. Seen rain twice in all the career I have played even when just using the English grounds

He said that bowling was not enjoyable due to not being able to consistently generate edges and such, then he said if it wasn't for the fact that players were editable and shared through the Cricket Academy, then he probaly wouldn't still play the game. The irony is that with the stock players out of the box, it would appear to be easier to generate edges and chances in general - thus making bowling more enjoyable.

It isn't.

I've been playing a while now with teams that are using the out of the box skills for players - feels pretty much the same. Even have things like Murali opening the bowling for the Renegades in a T20. Maybe it makes some differences around the edges - but certainly not significant.

I'm not really sure that's Irony, and as Matt has pointed out, it doesn't seem to matter.

Hey I mean be wrong about it not being Ironic. Alanis Morissette wrote a whole song about Irony and it was all just bad luck, so she didn't understand Irony either!

Nope. I said I enjoyed the variety and customisation from the academy, and playing with historic teams and players holds more appeal to me than current gen. I even bracketed that if the out of the box ones were real licensed players it wouldn't make a difference I still prefer the hostoric teams. So the balance issue is irrelevant to why I think the academy increases the shelf life.

Now I agree with Matt that there isn't any real difference between out of the box and those from the academy in terms of getting edges etc. but even if there was, since that was absolutely no part of what I said i liked about the academy, it still wouldn't have been ironic and you'd have still missed the point. But i think we've argued this enough now...

Nah, lets keep at it. Biggs hasn't said anything yet...
