More importantly, what shot is that, and what the hell is wrong with the non-strikers head? This one screen shot does not bode well, I'm afraid. I expect a flurry of early reviews in the 7's and 8's as enthusiasm outweighs experience before the stark reality sets in and the metacritic score...

My favourite part is where they spell Ross's name wrong after previously spelling it right, yet they are one of the leading sports media organisations in the world *apparently*

Don't forget the tax deductible jolly - probably taking the family and everything - all out of our pockets ;)

I can't help but feel Cricket Australia are partially responsible for some of this mess "We know what the people want, and the people want less features, more action - why do you think T20 has become so popular!". BAs response "Sounds good. Minimum effort for us but we still want to charge top...

In fairness, one of those achievements said 0.06% of gamers had unlocked - if you assume that equates to only 1 person, then at least 1,666 people must have played the game on Xbox. Obviously not great numbers, but more than 8.

Ahh yes. I give it a week before "can you remove/nerf the power-ups, they give the bowling/batting team too much of an advantage"... "also, can you make 6s easier to hit, every ball should be able to be hit for 6 in an arcade game", etc etc etc

I'm going to play Devil's advocate a bit, and say that the thing I hope for most in the next BA cricket game (assuming there is one) is for: 1) the development/creative team to have a vision of the cricket game they want to make and stop listening to all the micro-feedback about timing windows...

Probably due to low bowler skill in career?

So it seems the vocal minority have ruined the game once again - I'd test it out but I can't be bothered to be honest. Unfortunately I feel BA have sold their soul to the devil for the ECB and CA licences. I hope Dean gets that EA Cricket 2025 up and running soon on his satellite.

Depends if BA Cricket 19 is a thing or not :P

60 quid?!? Did you buy the Platinum edition with season pass or something?

Probably important for people to mention if they are using default settings, or customer sliders

Sounds like a wholesome patch! I shall re-install tonight and give it a Daniels. Thanks for the efforts of everyone involved - now grab the popcorn, sit back and wait for the inevitable question ;) PS Glad you managed to time the release globally across all platforms, good stuff.

Now there's a great idea for the next FarCry game - FarCry: Ashes... Featuring David Warner as the antagonist, Steve Smith and Cameron Bancroft as his lieutenants that you must take down in order to get to the man himself. The protagonist ought to be a choice between Virat Kohli, Michael Vaughn...

Just tempering expectations given previous patch announcements had only materialised on PC, with consoles to follow, and there were not specific platforms announced for the 26th ;) I couldn't bare the thought of another BA flame war over another perceived broken promise :P I'm quite happy to...

I assumed the 'more information' would be in the guise of patch notes and possible next steps AFTER the patch is released. Like Snowy says, there's not much else to say until that point. They are hardly going to say "We plan on fixing XYZ a month out" and then not end up fixing Y or Z, because...

Sony likes to release patches on a Wednesday I've noticed. BAs original twitter post does not mention platform. I suspect it will release on Steam on the 26th and probably roll out on PS4 the following week. All you have to do is go back through the most recent patch thread. How short some...

Interesting. Maybe I just turned off rather than exiting properly... Either way, you can see the discrepancy in my post so it's definitely still a thing.

Seems to be more of an issue when you quit and save mid-match. I can't remember exactly, but i think it either doesn't record the first part of the inning, or it includes it twice. I think it's the former. Found my original bug report...

Without meaning to be a smarta$$, can anyone advise whether BA have been verified for rapid patching now for Ashes Cricket? Did they lose that verification due to some previously shoddy patches and now must go through a full assessment each time, or have they redeemed themselves in the eyes of...
