Care to elaborate? "Better" is a very ambiguous word.

Wow, just bought this game today and what a mess. The game feels overly floaty, DBC14's gameplay was miles better. Not a fan of the slow pace of the bowling. The Camera is just downright awful, trying to do way too many things. DBC14 felt very simple in its gameplay, they have just made every aspect of bowling an over complicated mess. Not sure what happened with the development of this game but it seems like BigAnt have regressed here.

Bowling has been simplified though?

AI shots are pretty poor so far from the gameplay videos and streams I have seen, mostly on backfoot and weird animation with bat face facing point , there are a few more too...Not sure how it ended up in such a way and not many are caring for that, but for me its a huge minus/flaw...I can say for sure that BA are the best when it comes to gameplay experience and as far as animations goes I got no idea...I know just watching the videos wont do much but I have seen so much of those weird shots which come up pretty often...

Were those gameplay videos before or after the patch though? In Twistie's stream yesterday SA vs Aus, the shots were quite natural and an improvement from DBC 14!

Majority of shots are flawless from AI absolutely beautiful to watch and great flow, dont get me wrong about that, the game is amazing in variety...Already been mentioned before too, the backfoot slog , square shot [not sure what to name it] , basically the shots where there is no foot movement and the AI foot is just still and just the awkward bat movement to hit the shot...

IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE GAME AND CANNOT CATEGORICALLY STATE THAT WHAT YOU ARE WATCHING IS POST PATCH THE STFU!

If you have the game and have not patched it, but post about it anyway, then thanks for your support, but really....

Dont buy it then and play something else

Pissing me off - even regulars here who know better are doing the "I don't have the game but...." - it's going to be easier to have an "Include" list rather than an "Ignore" list.

Please calm down Ross! I am trying my best to report all this shit, even before you manage to see it! Sorry to see you boliing up to this point!

In terms of the need for some shots to be better there seems to be a lot of backing away for shots to the off side. I suppose with time we'll get better to not try and hit straight balls to the offside though...

The issue with the ease of running between the wickets is sort of true, but mainly in comparison with the AI which barely takes easy runs.

Thats expected off you..But you do make sense this time for a change...
