Forget the trailer. DBC 17 is in my hands.

Thanks very much for the video! Definitely very excited to get the game. If only I didn't have a PhD thesis due in February... A few impressions I got from it:

Positives

- Lovely to see the full Australian ODI kit in there able to be downloaded from the academy easily
- Renovated SCG looks lovely too
- The music playing after each wicket is a lovely touch. Can we edit this?
- Commentary seems much improved from the EB Games demo. No more redundant repetition from the two and often they say nothing at all for uninteresting plays, e.g. a dot ball at 4:20
- I liked the celebration at 10:00. Players seem to be smiling a bit and showing some emotion
- It's helpful having confidence meters for reviews.
- The review system really has taken a step up. Seeing the "hot" crowd in the distance really adds to the realism. Also it was lovely to hear the commentator say "I'd start walking now" after seeing the snicko, before the hotspot, added a touch of realism.

Negatives

- Seems to be some "statue" poses after some of the lofted shots
- The slips catch at about 1:50 is has a highly exaggerated movement that just looks a bit off. The ball isn't that far from the fielder yet there is a huge leap and it almost seems like he gains momentum mid air
- Players running between the wicket turn blind (i.e. not looking at the ball). You can see this at 2:50. I know this happens in real life at times and doesn't affect the gameplay but as a cricket purist and ex-coach this does annoy me a little
- Not sure if this is really a negative or more a weird setting but having a translucent wicketkeeper seems silly for fast bowlers. Sometimes he would then receive the ball from a fielder and switch to opaque. I understand the desire to have him translucent when up to the stumps but other than that it looks weird.
- The crowd models are a lot more advanced than in DBC14 but they are acting like they are at a disco. It'd be nice to have them more mellow for most of the game and then celebrating wickets, runs etc.

Unfortunately the creators aren't done yet! So heaps of stuff isn't ready yet.

We're in the unusual position now where the creators are waiting impatiently for the game, and the people with the game are waiting impatiently for the creators!

...oh and of course, the grass looks lovely.

Can anyone confirm if there's a bit more zip from the seamers when batting?

Always thought academy was a touch slow. I know there's sliders but doesn't that then give you an u realistic speed?

Tbf I wanted to have all my county stuff done before everyone got the game so I'm a little peeved that its released this early!

You've still got until mid-January as far as I'm concerned, mate!

Just noticed - on the Career video that was posted, the bowler delivery marker (coloured circle thing) came up a little while before the ball was released, as the bowler came to the end of his run-up, but in the videos just posted, it's more like DBC 14. Is that one of the gameplay sliders? I personally would appreciate an extra fraction of a second to be able to adjust my fingers on the controller and set myself for the shot I want to play. I find myself pre-meditating a lot more than I'd like otherwise as I can't react quickly enough to the actual delivery, haha!

First impression, you won't be disappointed.

Graphics is good
grass looks real and green
smooth animations
as usual gameplay is the king. dbc14 the gameplay is perfect but still they improved a lot.

still more to explore

I have uploaded some videos, this is the first time i am uploading a video through ps4. Editing it through share factory takes some time.

1st gameplay

acadamy

I will play a proper match and upload later tonight or tomorrow.
i need some help Get Best is not uploading the latest from acadamy. i am not sure what i am missing

As usual the video is compressed in youtube but it looks much much better

Thank you for the videos!
Wait for some time until the creators finished their work.
If you want to add some individual players to a team try searching for players under username 'rajsvm'.
For teams instead of get best search for @Llewelynf (Almost all international,bbl,sa domestic....only Australian kit is available which you are using just wait for him to upload. ) and @Munkeymomo (County ,Associate teams including some awesome players ) in the academy.

And if you get sick of the generic stadiums this should have you sorted.

It would be helpful if the created teams thread had an updated 1st post too, with academy names and what has been uploaded. @flake @mods
