    Don Bradman Cricket 17 General Discussion

    Ehhh....so I watched the video Twistie3 uploaded on Youtube on 26 October (was posted on here a while ago) and want to know: Is this beta footage or close to the final build? It looks unfinished/dated? The grass textures look like sandstone, really weird/unnatural catching animations, overall...

    Don Bradman Cricket 17 Releasing December 2016 on PS4, Xbox One and PC

    Well that's pretty dumb...so what you're saying is lets just drop career mode altogether to solve the problem? I don't play online, it's not the type of gamer I am irrespective of genre - with sports games I enjoy a robust Career Mode experience, it may not be everyone's cup of tea, but hey...

    Looks nice....but it all means f-all if the AI batting issues and zero edges persist. Will definitely hold out on buying anything again until there's proof that they fixed that and the 6's tailernders keep him over fineleg from yorkers. That crap is the reason I havent played the game for over a...

    Patch 3 Requests/Wishlist

    Ahh I see sarcasm is a problem for you. Either way, apparently much has been going on since the months-long lull of them totally disappearing from the forum....and "commitment and willingness" wasn't EXACTLY at the tip of everyone's tongue during the dry months. My Bad for not checking Steam...

    Patch 3 Requests/Wishlist

    Jeez I haven't been on the forum for a month in the hopes that when I come back there will be a patch 3 already (that trick usually works)....nope, still just wishlisting. This damn patch is never coming out guys, you do realize that by 9 July it will be a YEAR since patch 2 right? a flipping...

    Yeah I restarted the career again and dropped my guy into the Weaklings side so that I can keep an eye on how the AI teammates perform. Was playing against Northamptonshire, which I had also edited as per the first post....As some have mentioned, there appears to be a vast difference in the way...

    I think from my point of view, and possibly from others as well who almost exclusively spend time on career mode, you want to feel that you are responsible for the outcome of your decisions in-game. Otherwise there is no point....when you have as good a chance of getting a batsman out by bowling...

    That's what Im wondering as well...when I just got the game I downloaded the South African Domestic sides, which I then slotted into the Auz league - does that mean that the game sequentially substitutes stats/abilities of ie. Top 5 batsmen of OZ Team A with Top 5 Batsmen of SA Team A etc. etc...

    Ok so then it appears this game is totally boned and phony. Thanks BA....give us a career-mode which is actually just a bunch of smoke and mirrors. Nice job.

    This totally blows my mind....out of all the Versions / Iterations of the game they decided to normalise the skills in Career mode, which you play by yourself and should be able to alter any way you want. Why? To prevent you from "cheating" yourself, or the Leaderboards (whatever they're for and...

    I find all of this quite bizarre...essentially there's a chance that all the 100's of hours spent by community members on CA were done in vain - and they basically created tons and tons of faces with skills that mean nothing. I havent played another innings yet of the revamped career, but will...

    Yup...that's why I also questioned cricket_online's post, as I got so tired of facing the same lineups and same players over and over through my previous career I decided to change it up, slotting in batsmen for batsmen and all-rounders for all-rounders irrespective of what their real-life...

    Yeah no probl Hmm that's interesting, because I added the "Weaklings" to the English Domestic League and simply by simulating past events/results I noticed they are quite a bit weaker compared to other teams and get rolled for below 200 while the opposition rack up scores in the region of...

    I decided to start a new career mode after spending a good few hours editing all the English Domestic players to reflect blockerdave's stats..with some variety of course. So far Ive only bowled in a single innings of my new career (Fast Bowler on Veteran) and atm Im on 3/34 after 16 over -...

    Oh MAN that constantly happens! And I always seem to take wickets off no-balls....perfect outswinger that gets the edge, I get elated, do a couple of fist-pumps and - nope, no-ball. Follow it up with a half-volley that gets tossed for 4. Also I don't know if this was just a poor choice on my...

    I also find that tailender really hate slower balls and managed to get quite a few out relatively cheaply with full, slow offcutters. They either get LBW or hit it to their favourite spot on the field - mid-off/mid-on.

    Right so I got my hands on the teams blockerdave's England v Weaklings. First Innings of the Test is done, I played England and bowled first. I tried various field settings, but generally stuck to a 7-2 field, Mid-On and Backward Square Leg, with one or two slips in place while the rest of the...

    Excellent, think I'll join the party this weekend and give it some playthroughs as well. By the way, I will most likely also be posting videos as "analyses", but Ive never used it in gaming...whats the best program to use?
