As long as the computer isn't able to late cut a yorker on middle and leg for a boundary again I'll consider it an improvement.
 
The realistic kits on this screenshot give me hope that graphics can be shared and utilised to replace the original kits/logos on console, not just PC

Heh, that's written by that Twistie dude on YouTube who's been having all the playthroughs and exclusive content over the last couple of months. He's hardly going to write a bad review, is he.
Plus I don't think (although I haven't seen a lot of his videos) that he was critical on DBC14

Great, they've murdered the spin bowling again since the last time I played the demo.

Even with Turn and Pitch Friction turned to 100 in the gameplay sliders, the ball doesn't turn a centimetre on a grassy surface. So if I manipulate all the gameplay sliders and play on a day 5 Indian pitch, spinners turn the ball!

What sort of RPM's are you getting? When I get a 1500+ RPM delivery I can turn the ball (with a left arm off spinner) from well outside leg to outside off.

I can assure you that since the initial changes nothing has changed in the recent Academy updates.

What pitch type and bowler skill are you using?

Also, to get maximum revs, are you just aiming to make the circle on the left turn green? This could potentially be me just learning how to get optimum spin.

To be fair, I tried a match, so I must admit I wasn't looking at the conditions.

But I just tried it then in the training ground with default settings using Ashraf from Australia and had the same results.

But yes to get maximum revs you want both the circle on the left and right green. Holding RT will also impart more spin on the delivery too.

Bowler is an 83 overall wrist spinner, wearing crumbly pitch. Every slider set at the default, except the Spin turn up at 100.

Admittedly I got more turn when I changed the player to a 100 overall, but I'll never play with 100 overalls in the actual game.

EDIT: I haven't been holding RT. Does that make a huge difference?

I have no idea who that is bro I just seen it pop up in my Facebook and seen it wasn't posted here so I thought I'd share it with the good folk of Bigfooty lol

What delivery was that? A leg break or top spin?

You're getting 4000 rpm so that thing is definitely spinning A LOT.

It was a leg break, so I'm confused about the lack of turn.

With about 1800 RPM I'm getting very slight turn, probably enough to turn from middle to off. But this is with the turn slider up at 100...

Actually, trying out the default setting on the "Spin Bowling Turn" slider, the slider doesn't seem to make much difference at all.

This complaint was because last time I played the demo, the ball got some really sharp turn if you got everything right, and now it is seemingly back to Adam Zampa levels, at least for me.


*Trying out the finger spinners, they turn the ball much more sharply than the leggies.

Not having a crack! I'm glad you shared it!
 
We may criticise the game on here, but I can guarantee you most of us are going to buy it anyway :D
Yeah, as much as I will likely criticise the game for its flaws, I will also probably drop countless hours into it.
