Review My initial impressions of AC13

[IceAgeComing]

As a title brand; its not worth anything. If they handle it like EA did with Cricket 05/07 (i.e. have it as a licensed competition with teams, but not put it in the title) then it'd be OK I think. Don Bradman Cricket 15 (for example) with the licences of the Ashes and England/Australia would not suffer because of AC13 if they kept the Don Bradman name. A successful release now might give BigAnt potential leverage to try and get the licence for the next Ashes if they want to go for it; and get better terms even!

Stars of show?

Matt / Stoney...

one of Fegan's favourite lines, was that the Eng / Aus players were the "stars of the show"... so I'm wondering if you've got any close-up screenshots/footage where we can see how the might of the Trickstar Art department match up to us and CA?

Matt did mention it earlier on, but the players seem awfully camera shy. When you do get a rare close up it doesn't look pretty.

I still wanna see them if anyone can post some closeup pics of the licensed players....would be grateful

As the Aussies would say :-
"Horse Shit"

Can anyone post the faces of the "licensed" players ?

Here's the Australian team.

...tell me that's you pushing a button or something making them glitch-out like metal heads on meth?

A 100% reproducible glitch. That animation is supposed to be them bending down and playing with their shoes, if you tab into it while another animation is loading, you get that - non stop.

I got nothing.

I still don't know how Peter Forrest made the squad...

Is this some sort of joke played on us? Tell me you didn't p**s off 505 Games in some way and this is their way of taking revenge on PC and cricket gamers in general. That's the only rational explanation I can come up with for this whole sorry fiasco. I refuse to believe anyone can engineer this mess by accident.

What are the batting controls in keyboard....could not work it out..

...speaking of that, have you had a crack at reproducing that bowler-facing-backwards delivery mentioned in that review?

I'm playing a test match right now recording everything to try. No luck yet.
