That actually looks pretty good. I’m still playing this:



Maybe it’s time to upgrade.

[AngryRanga]

Is there any advantage to this over Don Bradman?

 

[Carl Hooper]

[Stevi_Tigers]

release a broken turd in bradman 2 then go for the ashes cash grab lel. also slater is a automatic no buy

Will undoubtedly get it and have an open mind, but I'm seeing the same bowling and batting animations. The bowling you can see in the trailer. The batting I saw in the short promo of the Aussie women's team playing, and they looked to be the same wonky animations that plagued DBC17. That was of course a shame because they were very nice in DBC14. Also, I was under the impression that they were all redone, at least by Glenn Maxwell.

The "motion captured by stars" is a weird claim when every trailer has had Mitchell Starc showcasing the same boring med pace action that's been around for four years. Anderson has had it as well.

This game is one big confusion for me, they aren't selling anything but a license.

 

[SugarShane]

Can't see myself parting with my cash for this in a hurry, still waiting for a stack of DBC17 errors and omissions to be fixed. The "**** it, we'll fix the problems in our next game" thinking has turned me off a few franchises.

 

[bulletride]

Well there was no bat sticking out of the pitch in the trailer for this one so progress I guess?

 

[Mootsy]

It looks very good in that preview trailer.

 

[the bee sharps]

DBC17 patch 3

 

[boncer34]

DBC17 patch 3

Yep.

Be careful though the Big Ant fan boys will flood this thread soon.

 

[melbournemartin]

I mean DBC 14 was very good after about 3 patches so that's something to get excited about.

Also the benefits of the licensed game may not necessarily be seen this time around, but rather in future iterations based on an increased revenue.

Yeah but we didn't have to buy a whole new game to get the patch.

 

[Xtreme]

Never got DBC 17.

Still give 14 a run every couple of weeks (started playing it again recently). Might look into the Ashes game.

 

[Carl Hooper]

[G Mus]

People want the game to get better then criticise when they move towards bringing in regular iterations?

Big step forward for mine

[Mkcaptain]

Having the simpler control options is a great addition. I'm very happy they've put in the fielding radar.

 

[G Mus]

Almost as predictable about your complaints on a new sports game

You over your upset on the 2k VC yet?

 

[lewigie]

Why are commentators so ****ing boring in these sports games.. Richo comes to mind.

Surely there's a producer in the studio with them going "look I need you to actually sound interested at all"

 

[A Tiger 4 lyf]

are the Big bash & other state comps & teams licensed aswell?
