This is it - Ashes Cricket (Beta Feedback)

The commentary seems exactly the same as db17, just different voices. Nothing new being said

That is definitely not true. Might seem that way but it is different. Dbc commentary lacked flow. This has been improved a lot. There is a chemistry now

There does seem to be a very set script that Big Ant use, but I think wealey's videos aren't really about showing commentary considering he cuts them off.

To be honest I don't know how you can make commentary in a cricket game that doesn't quickly become repetitive without recording days worth of soundbites.

I just turn the commentary off and do my best Michael Holding impression.

"ROOONS"

Cricket 07 had decent commentary. Michael slaters voice is annoying AF

 

[gkvarma18]

Commentary is better and situational compared to previous titles. All the best for console gamers as only 5 days to go. We pc gamers hope for the release by the end of this month on steam

So is the issue the commentator or the commentary?

 

[hammadahmed88]

If they are left handed then you would hope so.

Haha. I meant the tendency for every player to throw with their left hand.

Also, this may be elementary but is custom difficulty still an option. I quite liked setting the ball marker a bit earlier when I batted. Is that still an option?

@BigAntStudios pls resurrect Richie Benaud to do your commentary please kthx.

IIRC Wealey confirmed sliders, including the one for displaying ball marker early, are present in Ashes Cricket similar to DBC 17.

Ohh... so that’s a change in the sliders and not in the difficulty settings? :o

I guess you will need to get info from @grkrama or @WealeyH as I only recall info about the sliders, not about difficulty levels. But I would assume Custom difficulty would be there else how will you make use of the sliders?

 

[grkrama]

Here the ball marker time is determined by the batting difficulty you choose and there is also a slider for it in custom sliders.

 

[Mitchell]

Thing I have picked up is that the crowd love it and can u conform weather it will sound louder at the g or sounds the same but the crowd amazing it would sound that real with your headset on

 

[grkrama]

Yup the crowd sound is amazing and detailed, you can certainly feel the difference batting in say a allan border field ground and the big G, i for one would recommend setting the ambience of crowd high and listen to the details.

Ok here's some ODI batting, its a dusty soft pitch so the bounce is lower than the harder ones.

ps; sorry for lossy encode, the game looks much better than this and this is not even the highest setting.

Thanks for taking out the time to do a video. Appreciate it.

Here is a little observation I made, would be nice if you can shed some light on it.
In DBC 17, the batting aid - circle around the ball which conveyed the line/length - conveys the final line of the ball, after it has moved in the air or/and off the pitch. From what I could gather from your video, it is now related to the line chosen by the bowler without the seam/swing movement factored in. Is that correct or am I just over thinking this?

E.g.:
1) 5.2 - to me it looked like it pitched and then seamed in but the circle conveyed its good 3~4 stumps outside the off stump. Is that an intentional design change?
2) 3.5 - though the circle conveyed a 4th stump line, was it because of the angle or the seam movement that the ball finished good 2 feet outside the off stump?

Again, not nitpicking, having played DBC17 day in and day out, watching that marker is something that has become a reflex and hence the question.
