Don Bradman Cricket in the Press

[Chief]

Looks like they just rewrote the features list.

Churnalism really does choke up the Twitter searches. That and ACTUAL Don Bradman. BA should get a [HASHTAG]#DBC[/HASHTAG] hashtag properly established so I can eliminate repeat stuff.

Speaking of Hashtags- the way to build one up would be the game's sharing stuff. Note the problems in this tweet it generated for me:

Yeah. This is probably just way out of date from when the Academy *was* just a standalone. Could probably be updated easily in an upcoming patch, with the proper [HASHTAG]#DBC[/HASHTAG] hashtag and @BigAntStudios rather than written out. If there is a good product page somewhere then a link in as well.

 

[MattW]

I'd wrap it in a call to action - "[player name] is ready in Don Bradman Cricket, are you? [HASHTAG]#DBC[/HASHTAG] url.goes.here @BigAntStudios"

Out of interest, can someone share a player to twitter/facebook from the PS4/Xbox One version?

Ideally there'd be a code on player cards (or at least via the link generated) that you could plug in to the game to download a specific player - or team. Would make recommending and sharing teams much easier.

Especially bad is that the link in the current tweetout is actually dead? I can't seem to get it to work.

Yeah, that was part of my point - the game generates a link that doesn't work in the tweets and a hashtag that is hardly unique. And the URL on the player card if someone bothers to type it goes to the Facebook page - which is the last place I'd send people deliberately.

The one positive (!) is that I imagine people don't use those options very often.

Well, you can just use that hashtag to find how often it gets used - It's about once a week at the moment.

If the hashtag [HASHTAG]#Patch3[/HASHTAG] was used instead it would be trending by now.

 

[BigAntStudios]

Yeah, that's pretty bad.... is from the Academy prior to release and prior to naming it DBC.

This is, by far, the best review I have seen yet. Video Game Review: ‘Don Bradman Cricket’ a Tricky Wicket

I stopped reading at the praise for The Golf Club.

"Scores are represented in fractions"
" Don Bradman’s batting average was .981."

I need a shower...

Yeah, that did ALMOST make everything completely ignorable.[DOUBLEPOST=1425383708][/DOUBLEPOST]

He he. I admire the fact that someone who didn't know or understand the sport treated it with respect. Too many don't.

Yes to be fair that was a positive, but at the same time those two statements really stuck in my craw.
