    OTHER AFL 23 game

    Big Ant as a company has changed from the one we fell in love with on the forums 10 years ago. I think the perfect demonstration of this is its approach to player licensing and likeness. 10 years ago they didn't care at all because they trusted the community to be given the tools to create and...

    Cricket 22 General Discussion thread (Use bug report thread for issues/bugs/crashes | Patch notes in first post)

    Also I'd love to know how Big Ant developing an AFL game is confirmation that Cricket 22 is going to be 500 times better than C19.

    Big Bash Boom | Big Ant's New Game

    The cynical among us might suggest this might have something to do with them having a monopoly over the console cricket gaming market. Its definitely different operating conditions to early 2013 when they were new underdogs to the market up against the recognised Ashes 2013 brand. Big Ant was...

    Big Bash Boom | Big Ant's New Game

    Hate to throw the phrase cash grab around but its hard to call $90 for an arcade game with no depth in modes anything else. Not that we're the target market but this is a big turnaround from Big Ant and Cricket Australia giving the mobile game away for free last year. Honestly $30-$40 with...

    Ashes Cricket General Discussion

    Just bought Ashes for PS4 for $25ish AUD The cheapest I've ever seen a Big Ant game for release 12 months post release. AO Tennis was a similar price

    Big Bash Boom | Big Ant's New Game

    I agree with this point but just to raise a counter argument. What if the game is so commercially successful compared to Ashes/DBC it demonstrates to Big Ant the market for a proper cricket simulation game isn't big enough to justify not increasing arcade components in the next game

    Big Bash Boom | Big Ant's New Game

    What modes are there in the game? Presumably just season but with the unlockables career mode would be fun

    Ashes Cricket General Discussion

    Is there any specific feedback on career anywhere? Or will improvements in career mode only be seen through the general improvements to how the game plays?

    Ashes Cricket General Discussion

    I'm not sure what you're expecting people to post in reply @WealeyH If everyone was able to play the game and experience the changes for themselves I'm sure their would be a plethora of positivity and optimism. But until people do get to experience the changes for themselves you can't blame...

    Ashes Cricket General Discussion

    Like it or not AO Tennis is where Big Ant needs to be focussing most of their energy. They are planning on launching AO Tennis globally, probably trying to beat World Tour to the market. It needs a lot of attention before that is possible. Don't get me wrong, they would be working very hard...

    Latest Patch now available for PS4 (1.06) & Xbox One (1.0.0.7)

    Why would you want the thread deleted. Wouldn't it make more sense just to change the title?

    TENNIS AO Tennis

    Big Ant needs to rediscover the phrase under-promise and over-deliver. I remember with AFL Live and DBC 14, Big Ant refused to release their games until they thought they were absolutely ready to go. AFL Live didn't release until a couple of months into the 2011 AFL season (after being due...
