dear community,

I am starting this threads so people can post their pros and cons after hands on experiece. Along with suggestion or improvements are also welcomed.

PROS:
- great change in graphics as compared to dbc14
- excellent smoothness bcoz 60 fps
- New main UI & overlay is perfect
- gameplay has improved a lot. Well done BA
- in game look real specially player movement, running, updated kits and logos
- slow mo is awesome

CONS:
- keeper throwing and diving on pitch
look little bit unreal
- red circle around the ball is annoying sometime
- no much options in in-game camera selection, even camera selection is limited in running as compare to previous version
- in between waiting time is more means after playing the shot and in case fielder keep that

Above all excellent effort and value for money thumbs up and thanks for great work done BA.

I felt if we have zoom in - zoom out & height adjustments it will be great especially for batting & bowling cams

Can you dwell a bit on gameplay has improved a lot.

That you can only notice once you played by yourself.

One of major change that i observe is in spin bowling and leg/off cutters.

I already mentioned :)
- in bowling spin bowling + leg/off cutters, and specially yorkers
- in batting, shots give you realistic feel and due to game smothness. perfect timed shot at legend is real flavour of this version
- in fielding, its new mechanism so takes time to understand. Throwing and keeper keep diving after collecting the ball need improvement

Update: After 1.2 GB patch, red circle issue has improved a lot also havent noticed keeper diving too much.

Big thanks big ant

I was playing T20 match and weather was perfectly fine and all of sudden after 6.3 overs game stopped and DL applied. Other team got a target in 3 overs wheres its bright sunny weather.

I dont know why or how DL applied in such conditions.

A patch 12 days before release? Impressive even for Big Ant. :cheers

By you saying red circle issue improved, do you mean you can turn it off or what was the issue before hand?

Pretty sure the patch was there couple days ago when the first guy got the game?

Everyone should be sure to download the patch, it's a necessity to stay in sync with the Academy.[DOUBLEPOST=1481406817][/DOUBLEPOST]
