Well that won't be able to happen but if there is nothing in op with some of the generally asked questions then people are going to keep asking them even though they have already been answered in this thread.

That's also a point. I will try to add few questions to the first post. I may need some help. Wherever you guys find a valid question, tag my username to it, I will add the questions to the first post

 

[Mitchell's Johnson]

Will BigAnt ever come out and clarify what the sliders do, what effect each pitch type has and what actual effect attributes have to save everyone from having to dick around with things for hours trying to work it out?

Current market:
Yes: $15.00
No: $1.01

I dont think they will cos they dont even know themselves.

Match should be fine as far as I know. As for deletion yeah that night be the best way

Cheers Dave. I might delete and start again anyway with Patch 2 and do a comparison. Also it will allow me to add Varun Chopra to the Essex side which I totally forgot to do because MORE BATTING is the Essex way this year I think.

First post updated with couple of questions. Tag me in more questions I will add them to the post

 

[Abhi142]

Can anyone tell me what is the size of PC demo?

 

[Alberts]

Is there a way to practice catches, particularly at the higher difficulty, to get used to the controls involved?

Tutorials are available only batting and bowling. There is no tutorial for catches.

My Questions are specifically on career mode! (I'm awaiting PC version. Didn't play or read about console release)

1. Do we have World cup, Champions Trophy and 3-4 nation tournaments, apart from bilingual series?
2. Do we have randomized Umpires and Grounds or it'll remain as is (like DBC 14) with only 2 umpires for entire career and same default grounds while touring to different countries?
3. Do we have randomized tour calendar? (unlike DBC 14, where as India national, we're bound to play home series against West indies, England and Australia)
4. I've heard that the teams will be dynamic. Is that official?
5. Can we be able to edit my player's appearances (i.e hairstyle, tattoos etc.) in ongoing career mode?
6. Will my player be retained by the contracted teams of big leagues like IPL, BBL, Natwest T20 Blast? The Idea is, Can we play for a national t20 team for 2 or 3 years in a row?
7. Will there be a draft system for national t20 leagues? I heard people are getting contract offers from all clubs in a league. Should this be like DBC 14 with 2-3 offers at a time?

Please confirm! Thank you!!

EDIT (ADDITION)

I have more questions about the modding aspect of the game. I think the questions might be answered post PC release but I'll ask it anyway.

1. Can we mod sfx (Sky, turf, pitch, pitch ads)?
2. Can we mod scoreboard & channel overlays?
3. Can we mod Umpires kit?

Awaiting response! Thank you!

1. Do we have World cup, Champions Trophy and 3-4 nation tournaments, apart from bilingual series?
World Cup - yes. Name is World Championship

Mostly other international series are bilingual. So far have not seen any 3 or 4 nation series.

There are offers many other T20 tournaments included like Carribean Premiere league, Pakistan Premiere League, Bangladesh Premiere League etc.,

2. Do we have randomized Umpires and Grounds or it'll remain as is (like DBC 14) with only 2 umpires for entire career and same default grounds while touring to different countries?

We can assign more than one home stadium to a team. So your matches will happen in different grounds. Umpires are random as well.


3. Do we have randomized tour calendar? (unlike DBC 14, where as India national, we're bound to play home series against West indies, England and Australia)
Yes. There are many tours included.

4. I've heard that the teams will be dynamic. Is that official?
I have not played many season in career. So don't have much idea about this one.

5. Can we be able to edit my player's appearances (i.e hairstyle, tattoos etc.) in ongoing career mode?
Yes.

6. Will my player be retained by the contracted teams of big leagues like IPL, BBL, Natwest T20 Blast? The Idea is, Can we play for a national t20 team for 2 or 3 years in a row?
There will be offers received from the teams every year. We can change the team or play in the same team if we want. Retaining players option is not available.

7. Will there be a draft system for national t20 leagues? I heard people are getting contract offers from all clubs in a league. Should this be like DBC 14 with 2-3 offers at a time?
Yes. Contracts received from all teams in the league.

Please confirm! Thank you!!

Can anyone tell me what is the size of PC demo?

6 GB or so, despite Steam saying it's half that. Full game is about 10 GB apparently.

Hi All ,
I have couple of questions related to this post.

1. User created ground can also be used in DBC careering mode.
Ex: If I create a Lords stadium in England will my career mode pick my lords stadium or will it be always Sussex or Lanchasire or West Oval?
2. In DBC 14 my national team was England and I never toured to Australia , South Africa, Westindies. Where home series happened with those teams.Is this bug still exists in DBC 17 as well?
3. Was your answer was respective to career mode ? World Cup 20 and 50 overs both and other international tournaments are available with DBC 17? Will these tournaments will be in different countries as well when it reoccurs again?
4. Difficulty level in career mode is gradually increased or it's same through out the career mode?

Can we bowl a beamer to a batsman?

Can we bowl a beamer to a batsman?

No. All I have tried have pitched as fulltoss on the root of stumps or low fulltoss.

Gonna redownload stuff today now am finally back home. Was wondering should I bother downloading all the created stadiums or is the framerate issue still there. Also does the adboard stuff mean that I should leave off from them for now?

Don't bother with the custom stadiums as of now. I experienced framerate issues with custom stadiums. The frame-rate issue is still present with OOB stadiums but not to anywhere the extent of custom stadiums.
