    Ashes Cricket General Discussion

    I'm having so much fun with this game since the most recent patch. Getting a wide variety of wickets and nearly all seem plausible (no AI randomly deciding to give my fielders a bit of catching practice after racking up a century or two!). It's also such a relief to know that a dismissal will...

    New Patch now available for PC, PS4 (1.07) & Xbox One (1.0.0.8)

    I'm so hyped to give this game another bash now the big patch has finally arrived. Has anyone had the misfortune of legitimately getting a wicket and witnessed the umpires dismissal, only for the batsman to continue playing? Hopefully, from reading the patch notes, this soul destroying bug is...

    Ashes Cricket General Discussion

    One thing I've been wondering for a while: is it possible to hit the stumps from a delivery using a spinner? I'd like to be able to see a couple of Murali or Warney-esque deliveries but even when I crank the spin revolution modifier up to max I am unable to achieve barely any movement after...

    1. No, it doesn't rain. 2. Not sure, sorry. 3. Supposedly, but I have never been able to and every championship I have played the matches have all been played at the exact same stadium with no option to change.

    Ashes Cricket General Discussion

    Once you establish when is the ideal time to input your shot choice (closer to release on higher difficulties) it can be 'fairly' easy, although I do personally think the ease of slogging the ball into row z every shot is somewhat exaggerated. Either that or I too am inept, which I concede is...

    Ashes Cricket General Discussion

    There are many smaller things that could be altered to improve the game, many are aesthetic or rather persnickety and are not major biggies, but there are one or two major issues which can really deter someone from wanting to play this game for a while. Namely, the god-awful fact that you can be...

    I predict there will be another update within the next 18 months; it'll be called Cricket World Cup 2019. But, I'd suggest not buying the game on release as it is unlikely to be playable until 6-12 months after release.

    When this elusive super-update finally arrives, please, please let it include a permanent fix to the tweaking annoying caught behind bug whereby the game continues as if you just imagined the previous 30 seconds of play. This is much more deserving of attention, in my opinion, than improving the...

    Ashes cricket - fair play league

    I'd be interested in joining this league too — I'm sick of all the tiresome idiots in online mode that do apparently only care about racking up as many victories as possible, at the expense of actual enjoyment of the game. My PSN is: BolloTheGorilla. Do we need to personally alter teams to...

    Ashes Cricket General Discussion

    There are some really funny quirks to the shoddy commentary. In one session of a single test match, I had the following all come up at least once: 'England are now on 112 runs for none, for none!' 'Ohh, great fielding there by...*awkward silence*' 'They get back for two run' (for some...

    Pitch wear....

    Yep, I can confirm this. Pitch wear intermittently disappears and reappears at random points throughout matches and as Hester said, this is more noticeable when watching replays. It's really off-putting, and unfortunately takes away immersion from what otherwise is a really great game that you...

    Ashes Cricket General Discussion

    I really enjoy playing as the many historical sides that have been created and shared via the Academy — but I was wondering is there any way to move these downloaded sides from 'CUSTOM' to the historical section along with all the historical sides that come with the game? Thanks.

    Ashes Cricket General Discussion

    Does anyone know if there is a way to ensure we play at grounds that are a little more realistic in career mode, please? I ask this because I've just started a career for the first time and I'm playing as a little club situated along the Southern coast of England and the surroundings in-game...

    Won via countback...

    My team keeps losing in career mode via countback: I am not even sure what this means exactly!? It has happened in both of the two matches I have played so far in my career. I have been finding that the 3-day club matches are far too short because I'm not captain and therefore have zero say...

    I've downloaded all of the English County sides via the 'Get Best' option: a huge thank you to all who are responsible for these, excellent work. But, would it be possible to please create the logo/s for Sussex CCC? I have been able to get the kits for all clubs, with correct players, and...

    Bowling tips

    Has anyone got any decent tips on playing well as a spinner, please? I can pick up a ton of maidens (before getting hit for four or six out of seemingly nowhere) but really struggle to get any wickets using spin, and the meagre few wickets are solely caught or lbw. I'm able to hit the 'ideal'...

    Ashes Cricket General Discussion

    I was wondering how do you even get the option to accept the new ball. I played an entire test match and didn't see this anywhere at any moment in the match. I'm playing using the noob-friendly standard controls, does that affect it? Also, I've seen, in video captures and live streams, people...

    Noob Bowling Questions...

    That makes sense, thanks to you both for clarifying for me — does this apply to batting too (ie: are there 'advanced features' only available when batting with classic controls)?

    Noob Bowling Questions...

    Having been a lurker for the past couple of months, I finally own a copy of the game and I'm loving it but I'm struggling to understand a couple of things regarding the bowling. I feel stupid for having to ask these questions but I can't find anything listed in the controls or in the tutorials...
