    Game doesn’t always seem to heed fast delivery input

    For some reason, the hold LT or RT trigger input to make a delivery faster or slower doesn’t always seem to work; I can tell, because they are counted up to 3 in the appropriate tutorial. I’m supposed to hold the trigger down through jump and release, right? My controller inputs are all fully...

    Can anyone help me with a game-breaking device conflict?

    (PC, Win 10/Xbox controller) I'm used to this, as I have many gaming input devices. Whenever there is a conflict and I get unwanted inputs in a game, I try to unplug and or switch off whatever device might be interfering but in DBC2017 I have a really ugly conflict that I cannot trace; it only...

    "Academy Sharing Service Not Available"

    Thank you. I just bought the game today but I cannot get the in-game online service to connect. I admit I am finding it confusing/frustrating. I got as far as getting it to send me an activation code but every time I enter it I get "Academy Sharing Service Not Available. Please Try Later".

    "Academy Sharing Service Not Available"

    Apologies in advance as I did a search and found this error message mentioned...but no apparent solutions. I am coming back to this franchise after a while and just want to be able to d/l real team rosters but the game won't let me get online via the Academy. Can anyone advise? I am playing...

    Post your questions about the game here!

    That sounds fine, I think I can cope with Veteran pretty well but I wonder why the difficulty levels in Career net practice are out of synch. Is there any way to verify the Career difficulty levels chosen?

    Post your questions about the game here!

    I am pretty sure that I signed up as Amateur so that, because there is now one step up in career difficulty, I would play at Pro level in test cricket. Now that I am playing in tests, I have a hunch that this is accurate, as the bowling tolerances are much narrow (I bowl leg spin) and as...

    Selected for Test side: so when do I play?

    My primary club is Kent CCC but I've been playing in the (very lengthy) Australian club, 50-over and T20 seasons. My performance as a batting all-rounder have been good enough for me to be "Expecting Selection" for the England Test XI and now I notice I have actually been selected (I think it...

    Problem: Major input problems in Simulate menu

    NVM, disabled my steering wheel in Device Manager and the issue went away. I wish these input devices would play nicely with each other.

    Problem: Major input problems in Simulate menu

    Luckily "Simulate to Player" works in Career mode, but whenever I try to access the match simulation menu to move things along, the highlighted field just cycles crazily fast and there is no way I can stop it or make the selection I want. I have no other input problems in the game therefore no...

    Post your questions about the game here!

    I am wondering if I can use my career player in a casual game, or otherwise play a casual game career-style, i.e. with one player vs. playing the entire team. I assume this is not possible but would appreciate confirmation.

    How do career skill points work?

    I have noticed, too, that the awards do not always correspond with the achievement. I get points for back foot after playing off the front and vice versa, although onside and offside awards seem accurate, as do all bowling awards. My theory is that at all but Pro level and up, certain shots are...

    Seeking gamepad input display widget for tutorial videos

    Thank you yet again. PS how do you insert that Steam ID icon into your profile and make it visible when you post? I am (excuse the pun) stumped.

    Quick question about Career team allegiance

    Thanks again for the useful info. I have a follow-up question/observation: I am playing the T20 series in Australia, having accepted the invitation, but in my stats it still says "Awaiting Selection" for T20. Also, I am baffled by the batting stats that get shown as my innings is about to...

    Seeking gamepad input display widget for tutorial videos

    I think I could make useful tutorial videos for DBC14 but I'd need a program that can show input data from a wired MS Xbox 360 gamepad for PC on the game screen. The only such software I have found is this: Open Broadcaster Software - Download While obviously very good, it seems rather...

    Quick question about Career team allegiance

    Thank you. But when do I get to play English county cricket again, for Kent?

    Quick question about Career team allegiance

    I am playing in the Australian season and after a successful stint with the Victoria Bushrangers I have been recruited to play T20 cricket for another team. I do not know how the system works; will I still play in 4-day matches in Australia, if so, for which team? And where so I stand as far...

    Break for tea, 99 not out, game crashes

    Not complaining, sh*t happens in games but this was cruel. However, I ran the AI opener out on 199 (boy, did I cringe) so it may be a form of electronic karma. I am playing for Victoria in the Aussie league in Career season two. Restarted from the last save and am on 50 not out so maybe I can...

    Problem: Help please, my batsman has become semi-invisible

    Well, funnily enough, while batting with the ghost and wondering if I had somehow broken my game, I got a career PB of 67. So, now that I know I can turn it off I might continue with this, as you do see the ball better on the leg side.

    Problem: Help please, my batsman has become semi-invisible

    Phew, thank you! I found it disconcerting to bat with a ghost.
