    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"

    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...

    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

    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...

    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

    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

    I think I might have turned this option on by mistake, possibly via an inadvertent controller input and I do not know how to switch it off. Otherwise is there another explanation? In a career county championship game, my player becomes a "ghost" while awaiting the delivery and playing the shot...

    PC: MP: Anyone want to show me the ropes?

    Quaintly, I am in America, in southern California. I wonder if by some miracle there might be someone playing DBC14 in the western United States? Failing that, anywhere in a timezone that's practical for gaming with PST? One of several things I do not yet know about MP is whether you build your...

    Can I really be *this* great a career leg-spinner?

    Mischievous title, sorry but I am genuinely curious. In my career so far my batting has been okay but my bowling (leg spin) has been all but dominant. I almost always take most of the wickets, I get five wickets per innings at least once in about sixty percent of the matches and my bowling...

    Career mode: minor questions

    I am really enjoying the Career mode but I am curious about two things: i. I am supposed to be playing first-class cricket (English County Championship) at 16 years of age? ii. Why is your player on the initial splash screen (and all other players, including Bradman, in all other modes)...

    Can someone explain XP?

    I've been playing a lot and earning a ton of it but I'm not sure how I get to benefit from XP and the number on the helmet icon (I think I'm up to 4). Can anyone explain if there is a rewards system for XP and how it works? I know it's completely separate from career skill points.

    Difficulty levels for bowling: comments/questions

    I am transitioning from Amateur to Pro. As I expected, the batting becomes a lot more challenging because the deliveries you face are quicker and more accurate. However, in bowling, the wrist-spin technique I have been using with great success in Amateur (and in my career so far) no longer...

    Four catches dropped by AI at mid-off

    I might be doing something wrong because I haven't had the game for long, but with the fielding set to semi-auto (or whatever it's called, the middle setting) four sitters in one innings were dropped by the fielder at mid-off. No running or diving involved, the ball was just served up to him...

    Advice sought with bowling mechanic

    I'm loving this game, it really feels like cricket; that's why I am putting some time into mastering the mechanics as best I can. I would appreciate some clarification on a couple of issues. - Pace bowling: before bowl Using the left stick to "select angle of delivery": I understand that...
