    Review: First Impressions of DB14 on PC

    definitely seeing a difference in the 360 and pc versions. In my first year in career, I was getting 20-30 runs in each match. On the pc, first match, I scored 78*. Its so easy to score. Maybe I should go to the next level from pro, but in 360 I was finding pro challenging.

    Problem: Batting Difficulty

    So I have become fairly proficient at batting at amateur level. I have only played T10s but I am consistently posting scores in the 80+ range and winning games comfortably. So I decided to try Pro level and so far have played 4 games, and scored 3 runs total!!! I just cannot connect a single...

    Don Bradman Cricket 14 - first impressions thread

    Very impressed with this game. The level of control on each aspect of the game is something else. That said, I am terrible at this game. After 3 days of match practice, I seem to have gotten the pace bowling down. I only give away 1-2 boundaries an over. Spin bowling is a disaster. I get hit...

    How are you going in Ashes Cricket 2009?

    woohoo won my first game sorry for the shameless bragging but I finally figured out the batting part of the game. Played a T20 Ind vs NZ. Simulated the bowling part(NZ 107 for 5). and then knocked off the runs in 8.3 overs losing 3 wickets. Now if only I can get to bowl the same way, I can...

    I am out of activations

    I am from the US, so downloading was the only option unless I wanted to wait another 2-3 weeks to import one from UK/Aus. The download version has 3 activations after which you have to contact the customer service for more.

    I am out of activations

    Running on Windows 7 x64, heavy slowdowns and crashes in the game. I have now installed it 3 times and am out of activations. I bought the downloadable version but am regretting it now. Does the game not work under x64. I hope I dont have to reinstall windows xp to play this one.:(

    Correct Names Patch

    i copied the accricket2009 file to the ashes cricket folder in documents/my games/codemasters/ashes.... but i dont see any changes. What am I doing wrong? I also copied the file user[1] but that also made no difference. I removed the 2 dat files in there and the game crashed for me.

    Bowling at county level

    I figured out that using offspinners for right hand and legspinners for left hand batsmen is a very effective tactic to bowl out the team. All the wickets I got were clean bowled. I just had to figure the exact spot to pitch everytime and th ebatsman would lose his wicket. Now th egame doesnt...

    Bowling at county level

    I tried playing a test match yesterday at county level difficulty. The comp played first and while its easy to restrict their scoring, its tough as hell to get them out. Is there any strategy to getting them out? I finished day 1 at 62 for 1. Does the comp declare sometime or will it play till...

    playing with keyboard

    I have played the xbox version and got pretty good at it. Now I got hold of the PC version because of all the user made addons. How effective is the control scheme using keyboards. Is it neccessary to get a gamepad for the game?
