I think now we should get over the gameplay front.i dont think it will improve.. because when one thing improves. There comes a new fault in other piece of work. So now in next iteration they can focus on attractables.. like in dbc 14 they cane up with career mode.. in which there were no world cups even.
Still it was a blockbuster.. due to that one attractable 'career mode' other things were also way more developed like ball mechanics, physics and other nuances. But basically i am talking about 'attractables' here.. then in dbc 17.
They improved on that .. world cups were added and stuff. In Ashes . Its great they developed more.. dynamic lineups are there.. and everything has gone forward.... Now the next big attractable is adding various things that can provide more context to the base of the game that is career mode,i think we all agree on that.. now i have some pointers to do that:
1) Add pre match presentations.
2) Post match man of the match interview.
3) Basic summaries of the matches happening around the globe.. records broken.. just like in cricket coach games.
4) Build up to matches can be created by adding news column just like fifa games..
These pointers above will surely add more context to the game.. and if there still remains any flaws in the gameplay. Its not a problem..every game has something missing. But they should focus on how they can improve keeping in mind 'improving the base of the game by adding more context to it'. By base i mean 'career mode' Make it hell of an experience for us by adding few of the above pointers. I hope i am of help to you guys and to big ant. Thankyou.
