Steam update for DBC17 released

[Wealey]

Tell you what, when this patch drops on PS4, I'm expecting some serious highlight packages with the video creation thingy!!

Mate.... I know the difference.

Was meant for jaffa100

I interpreted OP's post as saying the batsmen's running speed has increased disproportionate to the fielders. Thus you will be able to take cheap runs. I don't think OP was referring to AI batsmen running too quickly.

i've not noticed this at all.

i can't wait for it to come to ps4 and i can continue the rebel tours!

We do not care. For tweaks sake. Your issue has been posted now put a lid on it. The more important fixes are getting worked on. Your tiny PERSONAL requests are over the top. They are not only making a game for you.

Agreed yes I am requesting it multiple times but it's not my personal issue , if you see the big ant forum on their website you find similar requests and also there were people who has also mentioned on this...
I am just repeatedly saying this it doesn't meant others do not want it, sorry for what i did ,but we desperatly want it to fixed before patch 4 since it is an important feature.
I don't want to discuss on this further please leave it here...let's BA do the best

@blockerdave it will be fantastic if this is actually the case. Probably entirely unfair of me, but I always thought that if BA had developed DBC in the UK rather than in Australia, weather would have been taken much more seriously as a factor. I have yet to see any rain in DBC17...even early season in England...though very occasionally the batsmen do trot off in bright sunshine for a rain delay. But those cold, overcast, blustery, early season games in Chester-le-Street aren't replicated by the current weather system. I'd love to see English conditions being entirely different to playing in Sri Lanka, for instance.

One thing I did notice playing on the public build was that the outfield seemed to have slowed up a bit. I could be misinterpreting it but it didn't, for a change, seem to run as quickly as a billiard table. Felt a lot more authentic. Fielders could catch a ball that slowed up in the outfield. Not sure if this has been tweaked or was a one-off for that session. It would be nice, however, if the outfield characteristics also changed after a rain break.

yep. the thing the game lacks (and sadly i don't believe it will change in this iteration) is the ability to really nail those cloudy early season english days & also of course to demand cloudy conditions

but boy, that first session yesterday i reckon i got something in the region of 15 edges in the first 9 overs.

as @WealeyH has said as the ball goes old depending on the conditions the pitch can really flatten out. and the sun really seems to affect it too. i'm trying to force a last day victory at the moment and got them struggling in the second innings, but it's not doing as much as it was...

Eagerly waiting ! All the positive notes from you guys making me impatient

Passing the wait time by replaying Dishonored 2

I pushed for this quite a bit and don't think it will change for this game. Not as easy as it may seem or sound.

@WealeyH you are far better placed than I am to know whether this has been adjusted at all but I've just completed a three match test series (career mode) playing for England against Sri Lanka and although, inexplicably, all three matches were at the SCG, the outfield certainly seemed to behave more like a cricket pitch. The fielders managed to catch up with quite a few that looked like they were heading to the boundary. May be it was just that series...but the outfield seemed to behave more authentically.

I'd agree with this 100%

AI holding up really well: tailend stand made possible by me dropping two catches in the slips! Punished! Love it!

Tailenders scoring runs? Langeveldt is going to be triggered

As long as he had the scoring runs mentality all will be fine!

 

[Langeveldt]

Tailenders are allowed to score runs, but when a game is released where every single batsman is exactly the same I call it over rated. Finally in 2017 we are having some use for the academy.

Haha agreed,

Saying that though I never had a tailender get past 40 against me in either of the games!!
