Don Bradman Cricket 14 General Discussion

It will have to be a later addition, hopefully we will be able to have a "stadium pack" or update.

is it reading too much into this to think "stadium pack" hints that it might be more than just an SCG update?

Or that its too late to implement as release is nigh??

*If* there was a stadium update it would have to be more than just the SCG - it wouldn't be worth doing otherwise.

Well, if it's not every IPL and World T20 stadium, as well as 16 more English stadiums, I'm cancelling my DBC15 pre-order.

It sounds like it could be more than just an update, which would be nice. The Bradman Oval is brilliant but it would be cool to have one or two more very small grounds, like a county out ground. I feel the Bradman Oval will be the ground I play the most at as I look forward to the calm, relaxed atmosphere of a small ground compared to the loud crowd noises at bigger stadiums.

Edit: I missed Ross's post before I posted but the point still stands.

What was the ground in the first image in this thread? I'd certainly like a stadium like that.

I agree, a few more smaller grounds would be great, a village green with a pub, church, little pavilion and little scorers box!!! Obviously a few grounds like that for England, and similar type settings for grounds in other countries.

The great thing is that you could have quite generic "backgrounds" for certain countries (eg, england would probably be greener than the UAE) and then add features like scoreboxes, small pavilions etc and voila you can have a host of small club cricket grounds for each country. Obviously it would take time (and money) to make so wouldn't expect it straight away, but in future iterations it would give a nice touch for the career mode (going from 1 spectator and his dog at a club "ground" to 100,000 fans at the MCG)

I long for the day that a cricket ground in a video game will have a massive tree placed at an annoying deepish mid on position, but for now I'll stick with the small village grounds.

We have lagaan apparel so a ground without grass, raw pitch etc in village would be nice.

also an option for matting pitches, and uncovered pitches that would get super wet if there's rain as well as having accelerated deterioration.

It'll be great Specially In career mode at age of 16/17 I would love to play on that type of grounds......It will be realistic & player can feel first class cricket......
GREAT IDEA.......

Didn't Worcestershires ground have one years ago?

@Lebanna yep it would be very nice to do that, obviously for future versions its a good idea! Maybe even go as far as have templates of stands, pavilions and score boxes of different sizes that you can use to create your own ground! I think this time round, what we have is a great start, I'd much rather the gameplay is right than the number of grounds etc, but for the future it would be a good extra feature! Imagine creating a Swiss national team and having beautiful snowy mountains in the background with the sound of cow bells and yodelling!!!

I'm pretty sure it was Kent's ground.

Ahh I stand erected, I mean corrected!!

Indeed it is Kent's ground in Canterbury. If you forgive the Wikipedia Article.
