Here's a video posted by @BRAB

The gameplay looks really fun to me...The graphics again is awesome and some details can be seen as to what can be expected off next DBC..

-The Big screen shows the gameplay.
-Grass detail.
-Player movement is super smooth even on video.
-Audience graphics.

I probably won't be saying too much to mention the next Cricket shares the Lacrosse visual engine, and will take it further in a lot of aspects.

I'm really happy with how Lacrosse has turned out, particularly in local multiplayer - we've had some great four player games in the office.

Good to know..

I can't really speak to the sport, as I know very little about it, but I am super impressed. It looks really, really good.

Big thumbs up to all.

Those grasses have just beaten EA sports! Good going Big Ant! In no time you guys will surpass EA ! Kudos!

Very impressive graphically even though I don't know the first thing about lacrosse. I like how you can change the team you're controlling in game, that would be handy in cricket 16 to save having to save and quit if you wanna bat for both teams.

Is the non-digital version going to be available in Europe? (not England) @MattW

thanks for posting that @funnyadit like others here i know nothing of the sport (bar what was featured in American Pie) but the graphical detail looks impressive.

i'd throw the slight criticism that Big Ant still seem to have not got commentary right but that really is nitpicking - the thing looks super impressive

But I like the audience sound behind during the start...

Would depend what platform you're talking about, it's very unlikely that there will be a physical disc release of the PC version of the game anywhere. As for consoles, I'd suggest you'd need to buy online outside major cricketing nations.

I'm assuming you're talking about cricket - just to cover the other base - Lacrosse is a digital only release.

Sound is definitely a priority for the next cricket - Lacrosse certainly isn't at the point we'd want to be on commentary, but I still enjoy it.

Hey fellas, another video of the lacrosse pre-release

This one is at max graphics settings, AI vs AI. I was really impressed by how the AI played the game to be honest.

People have mentioned it but the movement and the controls are absolutely phenomenal, functionally it's closer to FIFA then RLL3 was. RLL3 and even DBC to an extent had a slight sluggishness to them, Lacrosse has eliminated that substantially.

Not saying the game is on a AAA level or anything, and I'm sure people more attuned to the sport will find problems with it, but from an outsider who knows nothing about the sport it's just a genuinely fun game to play in the way FIFA is.

Biggest thing is the player movements, you feel in so much control. Not sure how much this will translate to the cricket game, but as a standalone game it's damn impressive.

Reminds me of Hockey more than any other sport - if it plays like the old NHL games then I'm on board! The biggest hurdle is balancing the need for smooth animation with the need for immediacy in controls/actions. If they nail that I will get to know the sport. ;-)

Not sure if already posted, the release timeframe for the next gen DBC is confirmed as the last quarter this year.

Wow you joined in 2004, how old is Planet Cricket? I just gathered Matt was the boss and started the site.

I think we have a rough idea of a release date but that could change at any point as I would imagine it’s a target based on an estimation.

Looking at lacrosse the future looks good. Compared to ice hockey you can’t check and rough. When you really think about ice hockey is the only sport that encourages and applauds bare knuckle brawls and with the world as health and safety conscience as it is with sports in general it is something that has stayed in the game.
