Ashes Cricket General Discussion

[Deleted member 46200]

Genuine question - what else would you expect a PR piece to say? It's naturally going to promote the game and hype things up.

As a PR person myself you wouldn't state if it's a 'so so' game and maybe bad... That's bad PR. However, will they make the same mistake twice... ? I hope not.




A positive from Snowy... Party time... Yippee!!!

Maybe I missed the details of the announcement but other than new animations and two licence team, how does this game differs from DBC17? I'm all for more cricket games but not in favor of yearly releases with little to no upgrades.

Like someone else said, BLC99 is a gold standard for cricket games till this day. EA games had a lot of good features as well and if BA just mesh them up instead if reinventing the wheel, we could get an ultimate cricket game.

Maybe it comes without the bugs and problems of DBC 17... Who knows... ?

You don't release new games to fix bugs and problems though. I am hoping too that they have some exciting features up their sleeves to make it up for new game. Guess we have to wait to know.

Congrats on developing the Ashes game @BigAntStudios !!! One quick question for you or @MattW - will the game be released digitally on psn in North America? Don't want to go down the path of importing the game from Europe and waiting weeks for it to arrive.

Cool, this should keep you busy after couple of months..


I wonder how Moeen Ali's beard looks like in this game..

If we can't ask for anymore information due to NDA's and a strict press release schedule....

..... @BigAntStudios can we just ask for the press schedule then?

 

[bestfriendh]

hahaha, this is like asking the release date of releasing the release date

Just heard about this. No doubt that it looks good but I guess this explains why DBC 17 seems to have been abandoned unfortunately. I'll keep an eye on this, but I definitely learned my lesson about pre-ordering last time round, and DBC 17 is still less than a year old as it is (about six months if you count the time it took to fix half of the problems it was released with), so from a personal point of view, I highly doubt I'll be spending money on another cricket game so soon, when I'm still happy playing my career mode and keeping my academy updated on DBC 17, despite its flaws. If it turns out to be a big step up in some way (apart from visually obviously), then I'll probably pick it up at some point down the line, so I'll keep an ear out for the new features and so on, but I expect for the most part I'll be sticking with DBC 17 for the immediate future. Not sure if that's just going to be me though.

So am I right in assuming that based on the first few screenshots, the following (Australian) grounds will be included in the game;

Men's

The Gabba, Brisbane
Adelaide Oval
WACA, Perth
MCG
SCG

Women's

Allan Border Field, Brisbane
Coffs Harbour
North Sydney Oval
Manuka Oval, Canberra

I would hope so too. Based on DBC17, guessing that it will make to psn and Xbox store for digital copy. Fingers crossed.

Still remember that importing route I took from Dubai to NA for DBC14. Those release date days were crazier than this.

Was it not EA Sports?

EA and BA can both use CA's as long as one of them don't have the "exclusive rights".
