Review My initial impressions of AC13

[MattW]

Just had the AI get 15 runs off the one ball.

I also hit the non striker with the ball.

if you squint your eyes it looks kind of realistic!

Hahahaha, UHHHH

Way too disappointing,really.A better gameplay could have fulfilled the lack of basic animations and much more cons.The game fails in both gameplay and graphics.

Those stadiums do look realistic,player models are okay but the most important thing which is the gameplay it's barely playable.Taking into the acoount,the lack of basic animations:toss animation and the batsman's way from the pitch to the crease(games made in 90s had it) and the umpire animation is way too poor.No replays,seriously? Menu and the commentary both are equally good.And there are controls to cancel your run/dive(read somewhere people saying this doesn't exist).The controls are buggy and way too confusing.It gets more confusing if you don't own a controller which is a must.No online play,here's one more con.Graphics look better to me when your playing using behind the camera option available.Fielders hardly react,ball can hardly be seen.It gets more boring when you got to wait for too long for the next ball play.

I honestly had some good expectations from this game,all my excitement,expectations or anything positive I had for this game is in ashes now.

Looks like the coded and released the game in a druken stupor.

Haha, good god that 15 runs thing is hilarious. I remember once you had run 6 in AC09 the game just stopped counting, would go to a quick cut-scene and that would be it. Not clean, because you shouldn't be able to run 6 but you often could on overthrows every now and then, was a little glitchy... but, 15?!

As for the hit off striker...

...'ppreciate the loop at the end

The umpire in the first video: glorious......!! What is this shit going on here.....I am off to the pavilion to hit my kneecaps with a claw hammer..............the only sane man on the field.

 

[Biggs]

There's a number of videos with the umpire just wandering off while a fielder glitches out chasing the ball... It's absolutely hilarious.

Did you notice on the wicket ball.. silly mid on caught the ball from a full slog.. wonder if it'll be bashed like DBC did for the same thing by certain people?

I also hit the non striker with the ball.

Don't you mean you hit the non striker with 10 balls from the bowling machine?

Shotgun on this one. Perfectly symbolic

i did see that, and i was one of the ones who didnt like it in DBC... Was gonna comment on it in here too, but really, what's the point? It's about the most realistic thing in it.

I don't know if anyone has pointed this out, but have you guys seen the diving animation? Both batsmen dive at exactly the same time! This would never happen in real life because obviously the ball can't be thrown to both ends in a single motion. To make it worse, they get up, yes you guessed it - with the same animation.

Umpire : "Keep running guys I will be back when you are done"
