@MattW is this something actually on BigAnt's radar? Given other issues like ball wear not saving between sessions, etc., are recurring themes, is it just a limitation of the engine as used?

BigAnt did realistic stumps for the first Don Bradman cricket and people found it boring, so they jazzed it up in a patch. It's been a staple of the series since to have the stumps cartwheel for basically anything.

Just in general, it appears that despite some improvements, this game is still best when played all in one sitting (something not really possible for tests unless you have a lot of free time). Ball and pitch wear don't seem to save, and that's a bit disappointing. @BigAntStudios, is this...

Latest patch, FC match, and the same issue. I'm assuming it's because I don't play the game in one sitting (ie I play about a couple of sessions at a time), so the game may well only being counting overs of that play session. The ball itself also doesn't look particularly old despite being 84...

Got to give it to BigAnt, easily the best release version of a game of theirs that I've played, and they're supporting it well. Not sure I'd be saying the same if I bought the Switch version, but hey. Credit where credit is due.

I've always found it funny that people bang on about such a small margin compared to the total registered voters, particularly given the amount of lies that were allowed to be spread during the referendum. It'd be like Australian's responding to the underarm incident with "yeah, but 235 mate"...

What I'd prefer is that QA testing would be far enough along with the printing of physical media that it would be in a playable enough state that you didn't need people arguing that "well, this isn't the release version". Day One patches are fine, games where the physical version isn't up to...

Comparing them to companies following some of the worst practices really isn't a glowing review of them. They may well actually be fixed, they'd have had this disks printed a while back, it's not uncommon for a lot of things to be fixed with a day 1 patch. It's a scummy practice, but the game...

On PS4? How are these people even playing the game currently then? How is it authenticating before release?

They however will official release the game with this version. If you don't have an internet connection, this is what the premium price gets you.

By definition, this is the release version... I get that the day one patch will be the build they intend for people to play at release, but this version is a version they actually did release.

To be honest, they could make the outfield a flat tessellated pattern of wangs for all I care as all as long as the core gameplay elements are working at release.

Agreed, whilst I still feel they left it all a bit late, they certainly aren't holding back for the most part now. I do think some kind of demo of actual match play (as opposed to just batting or bowling) would also be helpful, but that's never been part of their system, and given that to do so...

I honestly haven't played a sports game with the commentary on since before Brazil shipped 7 against Germany.

Honestly doubt the ECB care what the game is like, as long as they're paid. It's not unheard of to trot out a very stage managed version of a poorly tested game for the media. They are usually focusing on the superficial details anyhow, and rarely spot the big ones if their face. Again...

You say that "games tend to be better and better each time", but each game they've released has tended to be buggier, and launch with more serious bugs. People have dissected those to death already, but simple points like advertised features not even functioning even once all the patches have...

The thing is, the game is under a month from release, we shouldn't be working on "the thinnest shreads of anything". I'd post in the "what I'm looking forward to" thread if we actually knew enough to make such comments at this time. We have some sales talk about improvements, but we don't have a...

Releasing more info than virtually nothing but a few short "cinematic" trailers shouldn't be a tall order if there is actually a game in a state capable of being tested before release. Word of mouth is a key part of moving a game like this, and to be blunt, BigAnt's reputation has been on the...

Instill confidence in potential consumers that they've burned in the past.

On metacritic: DBC: 76 (from 4) DBC17: 83 (from 4) Ashes: 73 (from 7) Now, let's just ignore that nobody should take metacritic at face value, nor should you look at a sample of less than 20 reviews as particularly meaningful, but that doesn't make for great reading for your argument. At least...
