Patch 3 Wishlist

Oh! that's a perfect example of what I was trying to say, technically if your early on that shot you are closing the face of the bat which leads to "leading edges"... brilliant! I'm now certain the pull shot animation that sometimes happens to that particular delivery should be put in the rack and allow the glances to be played but with a high percentage of a leading edge! (*Balls outside off and in particular leg cutters), if its shorter "back of a good length" (but still green) and you try to play to the onside you should be "squared up". Once again don't get me wrong I love batting in this game it makes so much sense, I know when I'm out what I've done wrong! and that's an important thing for gameplay. It's such a massive step forward from dbc 14 imo, only bugs and a few shots ,and a couple of questionable animations really need attention imo, gameplay is exquisite 99.94% of the time!

P.s @blockerdave how did you go with the muscle and cardio attributes? Was 100/100 much better?

Yes better but still too much deterioration and not enough generation and game ended on day 3... if we'd got to the end of day 4 they'd have been out on their feet!

Yep that leading edge and some others I had were just brilliant.

One of the areas related to stats Big Ant can look at is ability to view all the stats (Big Wheel, Manhattan, Worm etc.) once the match is finished. As soon as a match is completed you can't access any of the stats. I scored an unbeaten 100 while chasing in odis and wanted to look at the Big Wheel along with Worm & Manhattan for the successful chase but can't do so and can only view the scorecards. Stats screen should be accessible till the time user doesn't exit the match as you do want to look at the stats after the match is completed.

I don't think that they will be able to fix all the things with one patch. It is just a matter of prioritizing the issues.

I don't expect them to since issues such as Batting, Crashes/Stability, AI fielding & AI fields, Player Linking etc. take a much higher priority but once the core gameplay is nailed down (may take a couple of patches to get it done), they can look at other items for future patches or future version of the game. One of the reasons I threw in the stats related item is that I've heard Big Ant is looking at adding more stats so they may as well look at allowing users access to stats throughout the match, including at the end of the match.

@cricket_online Cricket is a stat heavy game and should be replicated as such in a video game. I understand why you and many others are asking for stats. You are absolutely right about nailing the gameplay aspects before they head into stats and stuff. It would be nice if bigant could share what they are looking to fix in patch 3. This will make the discussions more focused and result oriented.

Bowled in nets in academy and watched gameplay videos, one suggestion for more realization of pace of delivery would be to make the far bowling camera as is in the nets I.e it should not follow the ball and should stop after ball release as we get to see the relative speed of ball when camera is also moving in same direction. It works perfect in the nets.

Think, it might have been stated earlier, but I never see any draws in games at all.

 

[hammadahmed88]

This might have been suggested earlier (apologies if it was) but it would be cool if along with "international cricket retirement" some players can retire from select formats of international cricket. So you would see Younis and Cook in Tests but not in other formats.

hi. does anyone know how to replace the names of historic team players ?

 

[Kiko_97]

Can we increase the logo limit? Or can @BigAntStudios PLEASE change the default bat texture on model #1. I've apparently used up all my logo slots and a huge part of that is using @Llewelynf's bat texture which makes the bats the right colour, which he shouldn't have needed to do.

EDIT: Also make deleting a logo a much more painless process. As waiting for everything to save before being able to delete a logo, after spending a minute finding it is so annoying. The UI in this game is so infuriating at times.

This isn't for patch #3, or even remotely important... But when a game is peetering out to a tame draw, it'd be nice to have the option of using the wicket-keeper as a bowler when the guy starts as a keeper, ala Tim Zoehrer, or if you prefer Test wicket takers, Brendon McCullum, MS Dhoni, Tatenda Taibu, Mark Boucher etc.

e.g. 3 overs to go in a first class match, opposing team needs 316 to win with 8 wickets in hand.. It'd be nice to say, "tellya what stumper.. have a go" and let him roll his arm over.

Too many things need to be fixed before getting to "nice to haves". Maybe DBC 19 or DBC 21 is when such items could be addressed.

One thing that should be adressed in Patch 3 is that whenever you play a big shot, such as off a spinner, and you miss it and it goes through to the keeper, the batsman ALWAYS steps a bit out of his crease, which increases the stumping chance.


Another is regarding the stumping. When the keeper goes to stump you, he/she literally pushes you out of the crease when they run to stump you, and it is given out. Why, just WHY does the keeper have to RUN forward to stump??

Too many direct hits need to be fixed

Agree completely espresso as a avid spinner who will be playing career as a leggy the stumping animation is terrible just a a nice little bail sweep thanks
