  1. Don Bradman Cricket 14 - Steam PC
First of all it is very fun to play DBC17 and with updates for both steam and consoles the game is going to be more realistic.

Some key feature are missing in the game:
-The scorecard of an innings shows only runs and ball faced but there are missing numbers of fours and sixes and strike rate.

-Tournmaents stats only includes Match,Innings,Runs & Wickets but again missing numbers of fours,sixes,average(for both batsman and bowler),strike rates(for both batsman and bowler,)maidens,most sixes,most fours,highest scorer ext...maybe an separate stats for batsmen and bowlers could solve this.Without these there is no fun playing leagues.

-More realism in AI's captaincy i mean changing the bowlers according the situation(specially in limited over games) like seamers with high yorkers values likely to be saved for the death overs,chosing offspinners to bowl to left handers ext...

-Setteled batsmen(with defensive mentality or low slogging skills) trying to slog in death overs and being caught if there are wickets in the hands.

-Batsmen with brute mentality and good skill points in strenght to hit more sixes as well big sixes than other batsmen.

-Spinners are likely to be punished bowling in death overs apart for spin friendly pitch.

-Left arm orthodox spinners to bowls around the wicket to a right hand batsman.Same with offspinner to left hand batsman.

-Option to search easily all custom team's players or custom created(without links) players.

-Number of sixes of tournament showing during the league matches like IPL,BBL ext..

-Bowlers sometimes dont move in umpire direction while goes for an appeal.

-Some gamplay modifier presets based on location and condition would be awesome so we can use that based on host country.Some example: England summer condition preset,England late summer condition preset(some assistant for spinners),England winter condition preset,New Zealand condition preset(windy and extra swing),Batting Paradise preset,Spinners domination preset...ext

-The bowl colour changer is missing.Im playing t20's with red ball which is unfair.

Triple Monitor Support....... offcourse on PC.
 
So looks like Big Ant is out with PC version (I don't see if it's patch 2.5 or 3 as BA has not been communicating )and it's time we start looking next patch Patch (3 or 4). I know it's early to talk but if PC is patch 2.5 then below listed are the things that were not fixed and I'm hoping to see that in next patch (3 or 4) whatever number. Please NOTE that a lot of people are still waiting to test this patch but a few like me have purchased both PS4 and PC versions and I must say that I am impressed. They have done a great job in fixing some issues but still there is a lot left to fix. So let's start suggesting like we did before and good luck!! Like before, anyone who wants to criticize can do it in any other thread.
P.S. - Keep this related to game play!!

So bring on your suggestions. To begin with, I am going to keep updating some most common CHANGES in Patch 4 as per the users


A) MORE REPLAYS for close calls (Top edges, ball beating the bat, LBW appeal, a good dive to stop the ball etc.) to make things look more realistic and interesting. Also they need to add more Highlights just like FIFA. In this case we can see FOW (fall of wickets), Boundaries scored by top scorer etc.

B) Still need to fix the backfoot hook shot and late cuts in BATTING STROKE VARIATIONS. A LOT OF IMPROVEMENT has already been made in this patch.

C) Commentary has not been touched in this patch. So I will keep it as is.

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 and please add some enthusiasm in their voices.

They need to fix it somehow. Below are few examples:
1) I ran 4 runs and even 5 runs, no acknowledgment by commentators
2) I scored 100 and 200, still no excitement or acknowledgement
3) Commentators usually go with "Oh what a shot" when you can clearly see that it was a mistimed stroke and sometimes even when you get caught.
4) A lot of times I play a shot on the offside but the commentators mention leg side
and so on.

D) Running between wickets has not been touched. They need to fix the running as a lot of times, batsmen are too late to drag their bat on the ground.

I know there is a lot to be tested yet. Bring on the suggestions and once again thanks for all your input. Also, appreciate the effort Big Ant is putting in Cheers!!:clap

U mean patch 3 for consoles or are you talking about pc?
 
So is it understood that what ever changes were made for pc thats just exactly what patch 3 will be.
Or did pc have a deadline and patch 3 for consoles could be even more comprehensive seeing as i can only speak for myself i would be happy to wait a few months if it meant all the blairing mistakes were fixed.

As annoying as the commentators are dont think they could do another recording session but the wrong things said at the wrong time should be addressed.

I understand everyone is upset and pleased with product but why get half a fix when the problems are obvious is my opinion anyway
 
^ Commentators are not very bad! But yea there are some mistakes, a good timed shot according to commentators leads to a catch!
 
Playing Club T20s and there are far too many chip shots wickets (more than 60%) , this needs to be toned down in favor of actual wickets.
 
Commentary errors/fixes/suggestions deserves a separate thread IMO, so as to not get hidden among other stuff. I'm not betting big even on the Patch 4 for commentary, as I assume there will still be some important gameplay bugs to fix till Patch 4.
 
Patch 3 for consoles is yet to come out but it's already out on PC
I believe i read somewhere that it is not patch 3...rather patch 2.5...more things will be included in patch 3 of console version...
Correct me if i am wrong?

If i am correct, we should probably have this thread once patch 3 for consoles is released...
