If I wasn't already excited about this game (which I was), this update would absolutely have sold it for me. The difficulty is great, the edges are exquisite and there is nothing more bizarrely satisfying than being beaten and losing your castle.
I was impressed with the first offering of the nets session and I enjoyed the extra pace of the first update, but the lack of edges made it lack something I didn't even fully realise was there until I played this update.
A whole bunch of thanks really needs to go out to the Big Ant team, delivering this only a couple of days before Christmas. I've been a silent observer of the forums for quite some time and there's been a whole lot of entitled rubbish going on (in amongst plenty of good stuff, don't get me wrong). Really, Big Ant owes us nothing, but what they have given us is just awesome, from the community engagement here on planet cricket and keeping us posted with way more detail than could be reasonably expected to the constant updates to cricket academy. So thanks.
