Don Bradman Cricket 17 First Impressions Thread

[KimmorleyKiller]

I've probably played around twenty hours or so on PC, it's an excellent game and a marked improvement on the previous iteration in most areas.

One thing that irritates me the most is the camera angles. Especially when the fielders throw the ball around (and drop it, most of the time). You often get an almost 360 degree camera swing that's pretty headachey. It takes almost as long to bowl the ball as it does to get the ball back to the bowler which sort of kills your momentum.

The bowling camera is too far away on a monitor, there's a lot happening on screen it would be nice to be able to focus a bit more on the bowler. I'd really like a first person camera I think that would work well with a bowler.

The first person batting camera is better than the demo, but still not quite there. If you play a back foot shot you often get your view obscured, or a random camera twitch to the sky which makes running a bit of a lottery. I thought the batting camera in DB14 was fine I'm not sure why they changed it.

Tried close cam for bowling?

Yep.

The game is not realistic at all. I had five catches taken by Pakistani fielders.

Care to give some tips? I am struggling to protect my wickets against spin bowling. Leg glances are harder to connect than it was in DBC'14 and drive shots often get edged a lot. I play T20I so there is added pressure of maintaining a higher run rate (which is not the problem though).

I did a little bit of cheating, I saved and exited at the moment my player was getting out (only 3-4 times), so I could retry! But, if you really want to improve pkay along the ground and once yiur partnership is around 50 go for aggressive shots...

The game is really nice, but the commentary is so worse. Not a big issue for me as I do commentary myself, lol, but at least the commentary should be in sync with the game.

Scored 15 runs in an over, but the commentator - a really good bowling what a maiden !

But, you guys have any inside of what new patch in near future will include?

Now that sounds like a bug but then, commentary is secondary, even tertiary to gameplay.

Yep, as I said, I am not as concerned about commentary, but still I would love to have some synchronization with the gameplay.

There are many bugs, especially in online play, but I hope it will get sorted out as time goes by!

But anyone interested in online play with me then add me on ehsanshah556 (steam)

4 hours into the game and got my first crash.
