Don Bradman Cricket 17 - Its Awesome and the Don is back with a bang!
Hello fellow gamer's and cricket enthusiasts. Let me begin by saying thank you and congratulations
@BigAntStudios ,
@HBK619 @mikeymerren and
@MattW. Since 7 PM EST I was refreshing the page of Microsoft store to buy this game.
Impression
Please let me start by saying I have just played one T20 match athough completely and my views are solely based on that match and other walkthrough of game I have done so far. I am not in any position to comment on the game completely. I started off by downloading the awesome teams
@SnowyCasanova @Fissionmailed @karolkarol,
@Munkeymomo and others have created. Yes I am an Indian and yes I will play with India in my first game(same old cliche). I then downloaded my stadium that I created via PC Academy. I started a casual T20 match at WACA with the lowest difficulty settings. Things have changed since previous version and selection of teams to match difficulties is no longer like previous one. Initially I was a little confused on to how to change lineups, then I released pressing RT and LT changes is if I remember correctly.
The match started in this beautiful WACA ground with correct adboards of KFC Bet360 etc. The night time match looks awesome. Australia decided to bowl first and Aaron Finch was hammered the lazy India bowling. David Warner was looking completely out of sorts but played run a ball innings. One thing to say is that the bowling experience you get is only possible in a BigAnt game. Wonderful and complete. So many different delivery types and its amazing to see. If you bowl in right areas with right delivery type I am pretty sure like real life you will see results. Batsman really came into pressure after few dots and gave their wicket away by playing rash shots in order to up the ante.
In came my batting and its a delight. The scoreboard pressure you feel once again can only come in a BigAnt Cricket game. Like the previous version this too being on lowest difficult dint mean every ball 6 unlike other games of cricket we have had so far. You work your way, get your batsman confident and then play big shots. I kept losing wickets but still was able to score decent runs judging I have never tried batting in nets.
Now coming onto the crowds, stadiums and yes GRASS, its beautiful. The atmosphere is awesome. The home team support when a six is hit or a wicket is fallen is awesome.
Pros
Based on my early impressions $59 is worth every single penny. The game has way too much of depth and will easily last 2 years helping BigAnt deliver once again a quality product DBC 19
. Also check that image of Kohli coming out to bat. Whoever made that face, with this game it just looks bloody damn good.
Cons/Suggestion/Feedback
There are no particular cons as we all know BigAnt support the product really well. Also I have just played one game and cannot criticize anything based on that.
Having said that, there are two things that I did not like personally
1) Back foot cover drive shot, looks ugly and I am in no position to explain better or how to improve it.
2) The broadcast/fielding camera while playing a particular shot revolves 360 degrees before actually stopping on fielder. What happens is till the camera does not stop its very difficult to judge where the ball is.
Other then that, thank you once again
@BigAntStudios, you have bettered yourself and congratulations to the entire team for what is going to be a very successful product.
