Ashes Cricket General Discussion

[Bleddyn]

A couple of questions for the Beta testers...

All of the updates I have seen seem to be related to game mechanic issues, and that is great. Fixes are badly needed. However I have seen no mention of issues with graphics.

Are you assigned what to test, or do you just play what you want and report what you find? I ask that because the female models didn't seem to be tested the first time around (LINK). Have issues like the one in the link been addressed at all?

Also smaller "lack of attention to detail" issues, like errant decals on gloves and pads of unlicensed male teams, has that been addressed? I am sure Llewellynf is quite familiar with those from his custom team experience.

I want game mechanics fixes as much as anyone here, but the little issues with graphics that should have been seen and fixed the first time around are what really frustrates me. It makes the female side of the game, a big selling point in upgrading from DBC14, quite terrible.

dot, single, block, leave, single, block........32 off 6........Houston we have a problem.......

Has someone left a '0' off the target run rate for the death overs? Set to 1 instead of 10.

By looking at the dutch's last 2 matches, May be t20 last overs of the match are executing like test match day ending overs.

Yeah it is weird: up to and including the sixteenth they are fine: it was a good match: I had some control with spin, picking up a few wickets and keeping the runrate down.....in the sixteenth they smash the pace bowler about and pick up 18 or so off the over....game on.....42 off 24....game on.......and then two test match type overs....and then 15 off the last one including the near six........its very very nearly there.....just that last little speed bump.

I have 2 questions:

1. Is there any way to avoid the stutter? I have tried both with v-sync enabled and disabled. (My GPU is GTX 1070ti)
2. Game crashes during interactive replay when the HUD is locked on the wicket keeper. Is this a known bug or is it because I am doing something wrong?

In all seriousness, and without making huge assumptions or having any knowledge of making games, I can't help but feel it must be something simple like a bit of errant coding. Like on the last game, almost without fail, in the 25th over of an ODI the AI would go ballistic but only that over. You can see quite obvious changes in how the AI bats in ODI, slowing down considerably in my experience after the powerplay - I guess they ramp things up towards the end but I can't remember them lasting longer than 40 overs against me.

I have seen something similar happen in Ashes, where randomly in the middle overs of an ODI they will suddenly hit 30 runs off an over.

Yep, it's like a trigger to go big but it only lasts an over and then it's back to normal.

@Dutch Same problem was faced in Childshthings cricket game but CEO Mr Chris Child Solve the AI Chasing And share his logic for Last over for One day ... "If AI require more than 3 runs per ball then AI will go for huge hitting 4 or 6 , Same repeated to next ball"

And that for only 22 euro’s each year.....sorry I find Cricket Captain the most expensive roster update in gaming history....but I get your point.....

@Dutch Any feedback on batting animations? ( Cut shots, prod shots etc)

Have a strange find on this night match stutter lag issue.

If u remove the floodlights from the ground,
And play late night games , the stutter is no more there.
Without the floodlights also there's plenty of light to play the night games , very strange and must b looked at.
.
The above all is Cheked on PS4 pro

Here`s hoping that they can now nail this one , knowing that the Floodlights causes the Nightime stutter...

I dont know if some one have already asked this but cant BA change the DRS rule where if its the umpires call challenging team dont lose the review. Not as important as fixing the AI playing test cricket at the end of a T 20 but it would be nice if its added as well

This is an option if you created a new MATCH TYPE, but you cannot edit the MATCH TYPES already in the game ;(
