Don Bradman Cricket 17 World Premiere Discussion

[Acid Burn]

If the Keeper can anticipate and sort of move along with the path of the bowled ball , it would help greatly in solving the diving at the last minute issue seen in the videos .

The rest looks awesome , and the feature /improvement list just becomes longer and better every couple of days as details emerge .

But that damn keeper ...

Also BLIC07 looks like a mobile game in the @bharat comparison. A fair comparison would be:

That is the best grass ever, Donald Trump endorses this Grass.

Moving on, when can we expect more details about the game? What/When is the next marketing event?

All this talk about grass... really? I mean it is a good sign if the only thing people can complain about is grass, but get real. That is so minor in the game. Here are the questions we should ask about the grass... is it there? is it green? the answer to these is yes so lets move on

Probably like your signature of 2005/2004 patches you need continue playing with those patches.

Haha, I was one of the earliest members at PlanetCricket. Was active with Cricket 02,04,05 patches and even a moderator here. Then I went into exile(to take care of personal life) and came back after a decade(like Robbin Williams in Jumanji) and saw these screenshots and videos. I was a bit disappointed. But then I realize there isn't any other cricket game out there and that BA has taken fan feedback seriously in shaping this game. So I have mixed feeling on the whole. I guess I just need to shut up here as I am out of touch with the times.

Yes I was wrong in comparing it with a 2005 game. Should have been 2007.

Here is DBC 17 vs BLIC 07. Not that big a difference. Maybe I feel so because of the low-res images and low-res videos floating around on the internet. If they release a proper trailer showing day-night matches, etc which can actually show what the game looks like, it could change our opinion.

I will buy the game anyways so that BA games makes enough profit to make the game more awesome in the next iteration.

How is there hardly a difference? Looks like a huge improvement to me.

You're just out of touch with what actually matters in a cricket video game. It's Don Bradman Cricket 2017, not a farming simulator

Give it a chance , you will not be disappointed, guaranteed.

Going back to a pitch marker would be a giant step back these days.

Meh. I'm mixed. I love the idea of not having one, but then I really struggled to play DBC, as a game, without it. Just because I felt like I wasn't given enough information to be able to play it smartly. It sounds like that's been improved in the new one - I'm really looking forwards to playing it.

The pitch marker was just a "the ball is coming around here", substituting the visual cues you would get in real life. That's why I liked the ability to fake it in BLIC2005: it was a mechanic that you could "disguise", which was a terrific balance of real life vs game. A delicate balance.

I agree to disagree with this. IMO, the satisfaction that a boundary or a six gives in dbc, Not knowing the line length before hand, gives the feeling of actually watching and reading the ball. And it's great. I agree the mystery ball was a novel idea back then, but once dbc happened , i for one, can't go back to playing with a marker.

Gotta admit I'm more open to the idea these days, as opposed to being completely closed minded on the idea previous to the release of DBC 14. Maybe now with the mechanic designed for DBC 17 to eliminate premeditation, they will have all the tools to cater for people who don't like playing with the indicator on, but still struggle, by having a "blink system" both in hand or on the deck, the information is definitely all there, just a matter of personal preference, definitely not arcade thinking if your inclined to that opinion.

if you play on PC you can try here:
dbc hacks: fearsome tweak v2.60 +v0.02 | Page 71 - Don Bradman Cricket 14 Downloads on PlanetCricket Forums

i'll try to make one for dbc17 too, if i can ^^ altough not in the first months i think, since it's basically a cheat and would be disrespecteful to Big Ant.

awesome, thanks mate. I haven't gone through the downloads folder for a long time.

They might look the same to some twats on here and in social media land where people have to complain about something all the time. But if you zoom in you'll find that they are much different.

BEFORE THIS ****STORM STARTED I COMMENTED ON HOW GOOD THE GRASS LOOKED, especially on that pro dev kit. I was at the premiere for those who will no doubt be confused at my claims.

And way to go posting the first image you found on google of BLIC07, you'll find that is one of those fake screenshots developers did back in the day, that game did not look like that.

WE STILL HAVEN'T SEEN NIGHT CRICKET FOR FEGANS SAKE, why is this even a thing right now, twats.

 

[grkrama]

No-one's done that since

EA c07 also had it as special delivery, though you can do that quite a bit manually in multiplayer of DBC, and the variations quite a bit more realistic.

Also i dont think you can fool people irl with length to the extent were yorker changes to bouncer and vice versa, its a nice arcadey gimmick fora game but not much cricket, most bluffs in cricket are with pace, direction, bounce and slight variations in length.
