ok so i folded...

thankfully it runs well on my (work) laptop.

much better in terms of loading/cuts etc. infinite improvement.

ai field placings better, quite a bit better though in pure "cricket" gameplay remains one of the biggest areas for improvement.

very nice to be able to have bowling assistance on higher levels, i have played predominately as a batsman so i like having this. using audio on veteran as i don't want the HUD. it's a really good touch.

fielders seem less bullet armed.

edges much more varied, top edged a cut and was out to a fantastic catch in the gully. looked lovely. in general i am gonna have to "re-learn" cuts because i think i edged a lot more.

Do the bowlers bowl more outside off, such that you can actually play cut shots? If found it very rare to ever play a cut shot.

1st online match and 1st win...

Practice paid off...long way to go though, spinners are still difficult to deal with.

It's not always abut GBs... anyway how the game / CA performs on your laptop ?

Really nice until the end of a match but it might not be the games fault FIFA 14 has been crashing a bit as well lately.

Just a quick question what anti virus are you using?

Not really the issue. The game works otherwise, it seems to be something reacting badly to casual mode. BigAnt are on to it.

possibly. though i never experienced the "leg side" bowling to the extent others seemed to - played plenty of cuts.

Want to try online before i go to work in a couple of hours but cannot find a game.

Cheers Ross!

Good to see such positive response already, I'm sure more reviews will catch up by the evening. I'll surely do one myself but I wont be able to try out the game till the next few hours.

Thus far, I don't think any one has encountered any problems in running the game, not talking about crashing. Some member posted a few pages back that the game works on his 500MB nvidia card, that's good news.

how can i play against AI in Casual mode?. I can able to select teams but It always plays as AI vs AI. How can select user side?

----------

I found out how to select user team.

Game seems ok on my nvidia 9600 graphics card which only has 500 mb memory.

I think I have the same card and it surprisingly works well on default (highest?) settings.

What I am really excited about is to see the kind of mods that folks here at PlanetCricket will come up with for this game. We have a decent cricket game on PC after nearly 5 years, so I am hoping to see a lot of activity on the soon-to-be "DBC Downloads" section here on PlanetCricket forum.

Hey Big Ant, I have a few queries.

When playing the game I find it is quite choppy and Im not sure why because my PC reaches the recommended requirements and is able to run FIFA 14, Watch Dogs etc at a high level with no such issues?

Is there are option to play the game in Windowed Mode, if so how do I do that?

I tried the bordered windowless mode but that still launches the game in fullscreen?

Thanks,
Shooter
