Ashes Cricket General Discussion

[Targaryen]

Would be interested to know if the new Perth stadium will be in the game, there is a one dayer in January between Australia and England that is still to be decided whether it's being played at the WACA or the new Perth Stadium

All the stadiums where Ashes will be played will be in the game. If there is any stadium not in the game (apart from ashes stadiums), you can create them in Stadium Creator.

Big news! The game is not just a basic Ashes Cricket game (like previous ashes games) but also includes the typical Big Ant features like Career mode, logo creation, stadium creation etc..

I'm glad that this is another collaboration by CA with BigAnt. With all the ashes 'materials' like players, stadium etc.. are licensed, the game itself seems promising with its first trailer.

Ok so more like a DB18 but with official Ashes (and therefore ACB/ECB teams and grounds)! thats awesome. *looks at FIFA/NBA/Madden annual releases* hmmm. :P

Release is like 2 months away so I'm assuming most things have been locked down by now. PLEASE please confirm what changes/improvements are coming to single player story mode.

Big Ant should be answering your questions on improvements or changes.

But I feel that this game being completely a new one in association with CA and ECB with all the licenses of Ashes, most of them (commentary, animations, graphics, gameplay, misc stuffs) might be better than that of previous games.

I just saw "PC" in the thread title and that's all I could care about [HASHTAG]#stoked[/HASHTAG]

Damn...Maxwell is pretty good at imitating all those players! Wish we could have some Virat + Sachin + Azharuddin shots in there! Maybe sometime in the future

Btw...Ross (BigAntStudios)...buddy...u look old now

On PC, it has not arrived in the Steam store for pre-ordering. Give it a couple of days.

Congrats @BigAntStudios on getting the licenses. Great news for Cricket video games industry in general.

I'm guessing one of the common theme of questions is going to be whether this game is DBC17 with licenses? Or are there additional in-game features compared to DBC17?

As somebody who already owns a copy of DBC17 and who doesn't care much about licenses, does it make sense to buy this game?

Yeah saw in an article that even Smith has done mo cap for the game.. Would take 2 mins to play each ball with all the touching and tapping he does before every delivery...
