Ashes Cricket General Discussion

[Deleted member 185125]

Is there any mention regarding MOM award ? Many times I see MOM is given to the highest run scorer or wicket taker of the game irrespective of the result.

In real life this doesn’t happen. Not a game breaking issue, but Wonder has this been taken a note of in the beta testing?

I'm sure they are aware, maybe not just the top priority of things right now. However, will have to wait for the patch to release to figure it out.

I think they dont have the 2nd control to test this. But dutch said that this issue was noted.

I remember one of the beta guys saying that they will be testing it. Not 100% sure though.

Considering this is an Aussie game can anyone advise me which button to push to get the sandpaper out?

@Dutch, please let me know if the new build contains the tape option in the pocket? Hoping by pressing R3 you can then put it down your pants.

Did you try the Bancroft Career mode?

People who played cricket at a reasonable level would know this is not a such big deal. This is very common in first class level and its part of the game . Move on !

I think it’s safe to discredit any opinions you have on cricket, or AC17 moving forward...

Using sandpaper on the ball is part of the game and is ‘not a big deal’. Please...

"This is common" and "This is wrong and it's time it stopped" are probably not mutually exclusive.

Clearly you have not played cricket at the level i have so lets move on. You discrediting me don't really mean that much mate.

So you can honestly say that the Australian cricket captain orchestrating a pre-meditated plan to use sandpaper (or something similar) to tamper with the ball, isn’t a big deal? That’s what you honestly think? This is the type of rationale thinking we need in the beta team.

I guess the whole cricketing fraternity is overreacting and you’re the one who is correct...

I am happy to have this conversation here with you but dont abuse your power by calling this off topic and deleting or banning me for this.

Yes 100%. If you think this kinda thing never happance in cricket you just have not played first class cricket. I will challenge anyone here who have played top level of cricket to come here and say oh this has not happend.
Ill give you a small hint. How do you think a bowler who clocks around 130ks suddenly starts bowling reverse swing. Spacially then playing on green outfeilds? By clicking on reverse swing button on hes control is it?

People go crazy over cricketers when they lose a game or two, wanting to end their careers or personally attacking them all over social media. Then they wonder why when a cricketers do everything possible to win a game. Discredit me you say, thats fine i have heard lot more then that in my playing days from dudes like you mate.

Hi, i have one small question. Who is more aggressive out of conservative and precise? One with conservative mentality or precise mentality?
Also in the new patch were they able to hit sixes when required especially with human batting?

I will have to say precise is more aggressive. Only because conservative hits at the fielders more often.
And no, I am struggling ti hit sixes at will in all formats. i have hit a few, but not many just sail like before.

Yes, and probability of it going for a maximum goes up when you are well settled, something that was missing earlier on, as you could clobber it for a maximum even when fresh at the crease. And in addition, you have some lovely flat sixes to drool over!

I joined this forum when I purchased DB17. Unfortunately, I only played that a handful of times before getting bored. The main things that put me off were how hard I was finding it to not get bowled out for 10 runs and how it wasn't immersive. On the first point there looks to be some new options added to make it a bit easier which is great. On the second point, I need your help to advise me on a few things. In DB17 I felt like I could set up an exhibition match or do a World Cup but there wasn't a full season mode (aside from the be a pro thing which I'm not interested in).

I'd like to play a full County season over a desired format, which I think I maybe could in DB17 but I found the interface clunky. Is this the case in Ashes (with real player downloads)? Also, and crucially, I want to tour as England and play their full season schedule but have player form visible from the County games to influence my squad selection. Is this possible?

Nobody is saying it doesn't happen: they are saying that if you get caught cheating then you should pay a heavy price. And that you shouldn't. To act like it's part of the game is pretty silly, and ESPECIALLY coming from someone who is playing the game themselves.

I've not played cricket at top class level, but I worked with the governing bodies for quite a few years and they're definitely not that cool with having their regulations broken.
