This is great guys...

Views on test gameplay?

You know when Dutch posted about the AI batting out a draw and had to delete it

The Test gameplay seems very solid at this point with the AI playing well including leaves. You have to bowl well - they put away anything loose. Generally they seem to play roughly according to mentality (should please @Langeveldt ). There was a build or two where we lost that and they seemed to hit at everything, but we got to the bottom of it and it was fixed. As @WealeyH said the BA boys have really pushed it: we've had builds come live in the middle of the night Aus time.

The feel of bowling in Tests is realistic: bit of a threat with the new ball, then it gets tougher.

In regards to doing competitions i.e World Cup or T20, will the finals and semi final be played at the host nations stadiums and not SCG like in DBC 17. I know this was said to be fixed in a patch but I havent noticed this.

The reason why I ask this is because in DBC 17 for example India is hosting T20 WC all the group matches are played in the various 7 indian stadiums however come semi final and final its back to the SCG I hope this is fixed!

Or could there be a option inplemented to choose which grounds you would like to host WC or T20?

Not sure mate I have focussed on tests and played a few shorter games to check earned stats but not a competition.

Would love to get the following question answered...

Q. Do we have the gameplay slider for viewing the ball marker early or late as we wish? Would really want this feature to be available across all difficulties as i don't want to pre-meditate while batting as in DBC 14 and don't want the feature to be a function of the AI difficulty level.

Stats issue. Is it fixed?
Insights on the academy.

I have recently reset mine...............

But..

My PC isn't great and I have to play on lowered settings

If you don't mind, can you share your system configuration ? I just want to know whether I can play it on my laptop with lowered settings.

In total how many players are mocapped? Especially from the English camp CA's website stated four players are mocapped Smith , Maxwell and two women's players would be great to how the other players bat in terms of uniqueness.

It's a mac air 8gb with integrated graphics running Windows 10 in bootcamp.

It plays fine on lower settings but heat is an issue so I have to keep my sessions short unfortunately. I'm looking forward to getting it on ps4 and playing unrestricted

@Llewelynf is your man to answer this! Again you won't be disappointed

I will be giving a full analysis s little later of what I think about the academy. Although a lot like 17 there are quite a few additions that man it a whole lot better.

In fact... why don't I record the first 10 overs of an innings from you to watch?[/QUOTE]
That would make my day

There is a small part of me that thinks you could already have access to the academy to get a head start on creating content for the game, it would make a lot of sense from big ants end to have a few talented guys from the previous games to work on the academy to reduce the likelihood of people getting incorrect players and teams like previous years [HASHTAG]#avoidtherajsvm[/HASHTAG]



I could be totally wrong though

Called it...


Now where is my beta key

Is there a proper weather system this time especially for test matches? Will it visually show rain or an overcast day and not just be sunny the whole time?

Well seeing as I just started recording for you boys and the game got delayed by half an hour due to rain pre match... your be happy

Overcast looks better. Rain is visible.

You have more control over choosing the weather.
