Patch 3 Wishlist

Can we please get the fielding camera for running the broadcast camera is terrible

So looks like Big Ant is out with Patch 2 and it's time we start looking at Patch 3. Please NOTE that this thread is only for suggestions. Anyone who wants to criticize can do it in any other thread. I understand that people are upset (including me) but the fact that BigAnt is trying to fix the issues makes me feel good. I think we should provide them the support from our end too. So let's make this easy for them instead of making it hard!!
P.S. - Keep this related to gameplay!!

So bring on your suggestions. To begin with

A) I think "Get best" teams still needs to be fixed. I tried replacing the teams after downloading patch 2 on my PS4 but got the same "academy sharing not available" error. Did it work for everyone else?
B) Addition of new batting variations. Square cuts, cover drives, leg glances and few more strokes need improvement (Ross is already aware of that).
C) Fielders/Wicketkeeper need to be more quick. I barely see any threat of being "run out" while taking a single as fielders inside the circle are too slow in reacting (throws) and taking bails off.
D) Unnecessary diving (That's not too big of an issue) but still it would be good to improve it.
E) How can I forget "Commentary". This needs to be fixed. I am sorry but I can't mute the commentary and play as that just doesn't make any sense. You need it for the realism. They need to fix it somehow. You don't want them to say "Oh what a shot" when you can clearly see that it was a mistimed stroke.
F) Also I have read that a lot of people are complaining about the stats. From what I have read, Ross has confirmed that they are working on a fix for that in patch 3 but still I'll add it here.
G) Another thing that a lot have mentioned is the camera angle. We would definitely like a much better fielding view once we strike the ball.

I know I have missed a lot. Bring on the suggestions and once again thanks for all your input. Also, appreciate the effort BigAnt is putting inCheers!!

Very well said as you have covered it well just want to add few other points---- 1. The backfoot shots 360 degree needs a lot of improvment. 2. Super human are the wicket keepers in spin bowling. 3. Broadcast camera is missing in batting training. 3. Total customs departments needs improvement

Shortcut to feild editor if possible a a feilding rader, the feilder running speed can added in game modifiers I missed these points

1. Earned stats, detail career stats, tour & competition stats atleast like dbc14
2. 360 degree batting and missing shots
3. Inner field feilding need more quicker in terms of response time and throws
4. On legend difficult at least all or 95% catches must be taken by AI
5. Fence logo editor on diwnloaded stadiums must be saved properly
6. Crashes need to be fix which are reported in thread after patch 2

Can we please get the fielding camera for running the broadcast camera is terrible

& while we are on that, can we have the same broadcast cam (as opposed to drone cam that's been dubbed broadcast cam in the game) showcased in the earlier release of Academy?

If possible can the batsman take a standard position at the crease. From starting an over at middle or middle & leg there are various factors that can leave your man standing on off and ahead of the crease on some random basis?

Career mode is very interesting with the list of objectives to achieve. However, the objectives only give xp points which is of no use. Most of us are not interested in the leader board at all.

Rather than giving xp points, award skill points for each objectives that can be used to improve players skill base.

The XP is supposed to improve your physical attributes ie stamina judgement etc but it's currently broken. If you simulate a match these should improve assuming you've leveled up.

1. Tweak the number of offside wides bowled by the AI. Legside in ODI/T20 should be relatively common but the awful wides in all matches should be few and far between.
   
2. Bring back the copy kit function from DBC 14, would make life a lot easier with the ATB and especially the Women's teams.
   
3. Fielders need to be responsive, and please remove the disappointed animation which triggers from the entire side when you don't hit the green zone for a reflex stop off a bump ball.
4. Same gripes about the batting, although if you can avoid triggering the pull shot animation for a good/full length ball that'd be absolutely lovely. I want to hit an on drive through midwicket or play across my pads, not pull a yorker.
   
5. Let me rename the team lists and pre-made competitions. I want to play the Natwest T20 Blast not the T20 Slam! If we can import logos and use them as comp logos that'd be nice.
6. More things to put logos on. I wanna make custom stumps, boundary ropes, blimps, billboards, statues! Also let us change the on field logo to be competition specific. Would be nice for authenticity.
   
7. Improve the object snapping in the stadium creator. I thought Fallout 4's settlement snapping was bad. I can't even make a simple hedgerow.

Yess thank you

Running between wickets needs fixing.
All players need to start sliding their bats 1m earlier in general running sprinting and diving. Also if you cancel run and then press dive immediately the batsmen takes an age to turn around. Its like the game cant handle the animation combo of cancel run and dive.

 

[sohail]

Fixing the line ups bug is a must for patch 3 as when doing tours it's frustrating we have to set the line ups after every match.

 

[AtOmX]

That sweet bat stroke sound should come from controller while batting.

 

[T20]

in random order, please fix (if not already):

1. Crashes
2. Stroke range
3. Default fields
4. Ball visibility with some camera angles
5. Broadcast camera
6. UI color scheme and font - may be ok on PC monitor but hard to read long text sitting few ft away from TV
7. Lighting - need some variation for day/afternoon/evening/clear/cloudy etc.
8. Audio issue in co op
9. Allow tournaments in co op mode
10. Relay throws (saw deep fielder relaying to close in fielder who relayed back to deep fielder!)
11. Catching mini game should be consistent - currently hard to know when it gets triggered?
12. Add some information on Gameplay modifiers

Yes I wish the broadcast camera would improve because

I think the EA cricket games had a good broadcast camera because it always follows the ball but in DBC the camera is just too far from the ball.
