Hey there!I'd like to share some of my suggestions for your upcoming game DBC'17
My suggestions may please you or even make u laugh for some overambitious suggestions,coz i love cricket much,and i expect a game developed very close to being real.thank you
I'am a big fan of cricket and cricket games.
I used to play EA cricket games so long until your game bradman cricket 14 arrived at the market.
I was so much fascinated and attracted to the game. I was eagerly awaiting for its pc version release with so much expectations.To my satisfaction the game was way way better than old cricket games.The graphics were good.Gameplay was amazing,especially the innovative bowling technique!Guys,u just rocked the game.The career was the best part.There were many errors too.bt it was overshadowed by its success.I wish your next game(DBC'17) will have some improvements in the following sections.
1)Graphics.(will be better with real time face and body type of players of every team ariund the world rather than only Aussies).
2)Licensed players and Important stadiums in every nation can be licenced and designes as real time stadiums.That would attract nation wise and native wise fans.Also logos and named of each National and domestic teams of each nation must br accurate so as to gain more support among the fans!
3)During Batting,A new bar can be added which indicates the CONFIDENCE meter of the batsman,which alows him to play lofted and unorthodox shots freely,in which the meter increases by the number of balls faced by the batsman.(for example:In ODI's the confidence level of the batsman increases according to his international statistics in real time by facing cretain amout of balls.,whereas in TEST cricket the meter increases at a very slow pace and increases by facing many number of balls without edging.,In T20's the confidence level should be given a little at the starting itself as it is a shortest format of the game, the bar should increase at a greater pace than test and odi's.)
4)Bowlers should also have a bar indicating the confidence to bowl special deliveries such as the real time ability of the player as reverse swinging,slow ball,inswinging yorker etc,which gains by bowling 3-4 consecutive dot balls and by creatinv pressure to the batsman.
5)Improvement in fielding should be made,as it was so unreal in donbradmancricket 14,A greater improvement in fielding must be made to gain more success.The catching ability should be based on real time ability of the player and also real time stamina of the players should also taked in consideration while chasing the ball and most importantly the fielding near the boundary line is so sloppy,everytine the fielders messes by catching and falling behind the line,It would be great if u take steps to correct this error and increase the chance of catching for the fielders at the boundary line by their real time fielding statistics.(Eg
layers like glenn maxwell,brendon mccullum,chris lynn,dwane bravo,kiern pollard,suresh raina,faf duplessis,ab de villiars,virat kholi,steve smith etc are should have the best fielding ability in the game,thier chances for catching difficult chances must be high whereas some sloppy fielders in real time cricket must have low ability to catch based on their real time statistics!)
6)Umpiring error must be reduced.There are may poor umpiring for edges in career mode,which can be reduced,as D.R.S is not applicable in First Class Cricket.
The introduction of D.R.S in the game was very much appreciatable.congrauts mate!.
7)Intresting signs and entertaining little little incidents can be programed amoung spectators of various countries and can be shown in big screen! That would add intrese while changing deliveries and overs.
8)The attributes of players should be uptodate.Their Helmet,Bat,Pads,Gloves, should be upto date and introducing of LED lighting stumps would be great!.and also the walking manners and celebration style of different players can be programed according to their real time manners so it creates intrest amoung individual player fans!Fielding teams wicket celebration style can also be made according to real time celebration of players.!(Gangnam dance,Indian dance,Salsa moves,running over ground,sliding to the ground etc)
9)Graphic quality of stadiums and spectators can be made better.
10) Intresting sound tracks can be added,spectators sound can be made realistic,and importantly More real time commentators voice can be added from commentators all over the world,too from subcontinents.
11)Injuries can be added in test cricket by repeated contact of ball to the head or fingers by deadly bouncers , short balls etc.
12)National anthems can be used for icc events which creates passion amoung national fans.
13)Batting can be made harder and based on real time statistics of the players.
14)Graphical representation of player statistics can be shown while a player enters to bat or bowl.
15)Sledging can be introduced in test cricket based on the ability of the bowler based on real time sledging players.
16)Funny incidents may be added by addition of matches interupted by streakers,animals,sloppiness of batsman while running etc and commentating should be given funny based on those incidents which creates entertainment during Matches.
17)Spectators signing 4's and 6's based on the shots delivered.
Singing and dancing among the crouds creates interest.
18)Cheer girls in IPL can be introduced and shown if sixes were hit.
19)Doughouts for respective teams can be made as real time in t20 format along the boundary line and be shown in camera at regular intervals with suitable comment.
20)Important personalities or retired stars can be shown in spectators during any finals or knockout matches of famous tournament that adds interest during strategic breaks.
21)Celebration after winning a cup should be made more realistic and with lots of fun with perfect graphics would be great.
22)AI teams can give away some extras as we do!
I assume u'd see this post & take this into your consideration.It would be great if u do so.
Thankyou.
