I am not sure if this is mentioned before but would love to see more analysis / graphs (for example run rate graph and score comparison by overs) available in DBC 16 and maybe better overlay or atleast ability to change it. I think EA cricket had these options to change runs/wickets and wickets/runs so I believe its not too hard to achieve.

wat a match

I think the game is great as it is...more stadiums and better catch system is all I want! Best catch system was on Lara's cricket ....the skill stop bar thing. Added tension to high balls awaiting the moment of the catch attempt and tested your reactions on balls speedily hit at the fielder. Perfect system Big ant!

Is that the 05 version your talking about?? If it is.. Then yep totally agree, that was an awesome way to catch!

Can't wait to see/hear what specific changes have been implemented to online modes for DBC, particularly about what sort of modes will be available and whether co-op will be improved to include 2v2 online. One thing to mention is how flawless the online connection has been on the whole latency-wise - regardless of whether I'm playing someone from Australia or in the UK. This is in comparison to games to such as Fifa/NBA2K16 etc.

My experience has been otherwise. Online experience is one thing that needs to be enhanced in DBC and I definitely wouldn't call it flawless by any stretch of imagination.

Was only in respect to the latency which has been close to perfect for me personally in comparison to other online games.

in bowling full toss balls should be able to bowl above knee and outside off stump and directly hit the stumps please make this change in DBC 17

Hopefully they get rid of those two race horse comentators... sooo bad

I know it has been mentioned before, but scenarios would be an amazing side attraction, in particular if we had the ability to customise our own.

I am also going to reiterate an idea I may have already posted about in game currency. Personally, I love the idea of being offered contracts with different salaries, but so far no game I have played has created a good system to use that income. IMO, rll3's system was awful, but I personally just hate single match boosts as a whole, because they give you nothing to save up to.

My idea is that you start off your career with the regular team kit and an unsponsored bat. With the money you earn, you can purchase different brands of bats and possibly even within those brands, different models. So, I don't know if the equipment is liscenced, but say you purchase rights to use Kookaburra bats in your career mode. From there, you can purchase different models of bats with different colour schemes, or create your own design. Furthermore, for each bat I think it should have a designated sweet spot. So, a bat with a high sweet spot favours back foot players generally, middle sweet spot for the allround batsman and low sweet spot for the front foot player. This would offer a nice level of customisation and system to spend your income. I also think companies/brands should be able to tempt you with sponsorships. So, say you have GM equipment, Grey Nic. could offer you a substantial sum to start using their equipment.

Obviously, there will be still a fair bit of cash left over. I haven't fully thought it out, but I do have some suggestions.
-You could upgrade your net facilities. So, early in your career you could start in the local part nets getting throw downs, but as your purchase upgrades you could move to the top level, equal to a cricket academy. This could give your more stat boosts from training in them as a nice bonus incentive.
-You could possibly buy coaches who can help you improve in different areas
-I had one more solid idea, but it has completely abandoned me
-If implemented, there would certainly have to be some other options to spend money, or it would be just as dead as in other sports games

Anyway, they are just suggestions and obviously not finalised. Another thing I would love is making every team and every countries conditions seem unique. Looking forward to it!

 

[balkeet]

sounds good for DBC 20!
the last one suggestion is much needed for longevity, the different feel of pitch and outfield of different grounds
some boundaries of a ground are not at equal distance from pitch

 

[RUDI]

Personal preferences for batting
Standard ground stroke - ideal for scoring singles and doubles
Defensive strokes
Lofted shots - ideal for clearing the infield
duck /leave
Left bottom trigger for aggressive shots.
So to hit a six you'll have to press both left bottom trigger +

This controller configuration will definitely assist playing on Veteran mode and upwards. The current configuration is to complex for me with having to press multiple buttons just to score a single run.

Career mode : After achieving captaincy in a squad - the ability to select my own XI and possibly adding /signing new players almost like a being a manager within career mode .Which is realistic for a captain to be able to influence the selection of players etc. Like a virtual Shahid Afridi, lol
Lastly a comprehensive online leader board for various platforms - where official records can be set and broken.

I don't think using buttons this way will work because you have to use LS for feet and RS for bat. You can't hit any of those buttons using RS at the same time. I like the fact that we control feet and bat separately...feels more natural. Perhaps would be nice if you could control the strength of shot more through the RS...but that is probably difficult to implement and harder to control.
