You'd like to think so, especially with a patch#3 already in production, however I think your * is warranted

 

[ronaldo7777]

Huge yes to all of this. Haven't really played the game much in the last couple of months (mainly down to being busy) but based off the fix list it seems like BAS have very much listened to a lot of the issues we have raised.

Can't wait to get going on the new patch!

Guys Great Stuff Waiting For PC Version !!!!
One question How the hell did u guys get so many different camera angles?!? Its simply amazing!!

 

[Gamer Pradosh]

So the game will feel new after patch#2..Awesome...

 

[Sammuthegreat]

Awesome stuff. Looking forward to giving it all a try.

Small issue (and pretty daft time to ask!) - in Career mode if you simulate you don't get to watch your player walk out to bat, you're put straight in at the crease/non-striker's end with no cut scene. Just seems a shame, is all.

If this is one of the additions not mentioned in the patch notes then please ignore!

Otherwise bravo on taking such a proactive approach to supporting the game.
