Not sure if you were asking about whether we could save games that are in progress - yes you will be able to save games and continue them (this request was implemented after feedback on here).

For online matches? Wonderful. Is that backed up with some form of autosave or something to aid with broken/dropped connections?

Yep, autosave at end of over/dismissal or via menu with both sides to agree.

We were worried that people might try to disconnect on purpose at the end of a bad over but then thought that you would be unlikely to want to keep playing them if they did that to you. Anyone have any thoughts on that? (We are always worried about allowing rogue behavior or "quitters".)

My ideal implementation has always been that if someone disconnects during a match, the next time the opponent and the disconnecter are in the lobby, they get automatically put to a menu to resume that match - both could then pick whether to attempt to resume the match or to cancel out. If the disconnecter cancels and the first player continues in that situation, award a loss to the disconnecting side; if both cancel, just abandon the match with no fault.

Perhaps also offer an option to just do a super over or simulate to get a result against a player without spending much time on it.
 
Silly maybe, but do we have offline multiplayer options, i.e using joysticks on a single computer and/or using LAN for multiple computers?
 
Hey Ross a few quick questions
1) when you create a season/career will there be trophys to choose from?
2) will the game have a large variety of kit styles and colors or a select few like afl game?

You should also create the bigant champions league and use the teams we submitted in other forum. Just an idea?

Thanks for your time
 
Saving for online games? Wow its like you guys are going all out to include pretty much all the big thing people are asking for here. I remember when either you or probably chief from ashes cricket 2013 said how hard and complicated it is to implement it. So thank you very much for adding it. I definitely will be buying the ps3 version. Might buy the pc version too if the graphics is as good as u mentioned

You know, I have to say, so far....HATS OFF to you guys!! This game keeps getting better day by day. You seem to have ticked almost all the points on the checklist for a good sports game. Adding modes like career mode (more like a manager mode), player creator, tournament creator, ability to upload and download creations, save online games (which was the most requested feature).....it just results in a complete product. I just hope (no...actually I just pray) that the gameplay and 'feel' of the game is up to the mark now, as that is the only thing we have not seen yet or heard much about yet.

I think you should patent this epic innovation ;)

Just to add onto what you said, a sub-menu can be added for displaying the pending games and the reason due to which it is pending (i.e. Consensual Save, disconnect etc). The player can directly choose from this sub-menu what he wants to do with the saved game, whether he wants to forfeit, continue etc.

Now, apart from that, here is how the saved games can be dealt with to provide a fair degree of fairness:

a) If the game has been saved by both the parties (i.e save by mutual consent) then the the save should be allowed to continue till eternity. There should however be an option to ping the opponent player, as in to ask him if he is still willing to continue the match. The ping request can be answered back as a Yes or No. If the opponent chooses 'No', then he should choose one of the options, 'Forfeit', 'Draw', 'Super Over'. This would then need to be accepted by the first party, and then the result/status would be recorded. If the opponent does not agree with the option provided to him, he can reply back with his own option, i.e. whether to Forfeit, Draw etc. This would then obviously need to be accepted by you.

However, if the opponent fails to reply to the ping request within a Week, then it should automatically result in a loss.

b) If the game was saved due to a disconnect, then, the player still online should get an option to 'forfeit the match', 'count it as draw', or 'give the disconnected player another chance'. If he chooses to give him another chance, the match will be recorded under the sub-menu for pending matches and the online system will wait for the disconnected player to login again. If he fails to login again for next 3 days, it should count as a loss. However, if he does login within 3 days, he should get a pop-up showing the options 'Forfeit', 'Continue match'. The option he chooses would be sent as a message to the other player. He would need to respond to this message within 7 days. Once the user accepts the disconnected player's proposal, the next time both the players are online, they will be asked to play the match. If either of the parties does not accept this, they would be handed the loss for that game.
 
We knew Big Ant are going very deep with the game, but it is getting too deep, hopefully we won't have drowned by the time game is released :p :)
