Hidden gems - Possible features list

[Pat]

Below post is my judgement based on the files in the beta release. Some (or a lot) of it could be wrong, so don't assume that whatever has been mentioned is definitely going to be in the full game. Even if some of the features may not be in the game, it shows they have considered it and it may make into the future versions of the game. That said, its commendable to see the kind of attention to detail Big Ant has put in into the game.

Licenses:
IMO the files only talk about one licensed competition which is Big Bash. It's possible that that's all that is going to be licensed in the game. Of course, I could be wrong.

Stadiums/Teams:
More info towards the end of this post.

Preset Fields:
Seems like we would have a lot of preset fields.
Pace attack/balance/defense - Count: 15 each (attack, balance and defense)
Leg Spin attack/balance/defense - Count: 10 each
Off Spin attack/balance/defense - Count: 10 each

So, in all, we could have close to 105 preset fields.


Preset Tournaments:
4 Team T10
8 Team ODI
16 Team T20
Big Bash
5 Match Test Series
Shield Pro 40

Game Types:
Test

Total Earnings
Season Bonus Type
Season Bonus Required Value
Season Bonus Amount
Accept Contract Offer - This set me thinking. Do we have control of a single player in career mode? I thought it was going to be all about building a team, hiring / firing staff and players, playing and winning etc. However, if the career mode is only for a team, what could this attribute possibly mean?


Online Leaderboards:
LEADERBOARD for EXPERIENCE Points
LEADERBOARD for T10
LEADERBOARD for T20
LEADERBOARD for 50Over
LEADERBOARD for Tests
LEADERBOARD_ONLINECUSTOM - Does this mean we can create custom online tournaments, like World Cup with 16 players controlling 1 team each? This would be so so awesome.
LEADERBOARD Overall

Batsman getting hit animation:
This is a wild guess but I think these are the different animations they have when a batsman gets hit by the ball.

Early End

I hope this does not mean when we can set fielders only in one of these default positions and not anywhere in the field.

To quote Mark from Peep Show, 'I would literally stab a baby' to have this game in my life.

 

[barmyarmy]

We'll have one on stand-by for you.

Thanks for posting Pat.

 

[srk121]

Super work. I would suggest if the stadia list is also included here so people won't keep asking questions. It is superb though

 

[barmyarmy]

This thread ought to win a prize for time-serving members. Pat since 2002 and me and srk121 since 2003. Long time to wait for a game with this much promise.

That clearly shows how much we have been craving for a decent cricket game. Hopefully the wait is over.

 

[barmyarmy]

Anyone else wondering about "Bridgetown Bowl"? Shouldn't that be in Barbados?

 

[bhomikp4]

Ross is here..!!!

Very true. Never been so excited about a cricket game.

I am afraid he might feel bad

 

[Master Khan]

i am buying this game on first day, i waited a long time for a cricket game like this, thanks Big Ant, hope you keep making crickets games and we will support you.
hopely in next game we will see more stadiums and domastic teams from Pakistan, west indies etc.

 

[lexluger]

We l have a lot more to add on to this list I feel....expecting to see a lot among these in the final game... Lord's, Oval, Old Trafford, Antigua, Barbados, T&T, Rawalpindi, Faislabad, Sharjah, Dhaka, Wellington, Dunedin, Auckland,Napier and Harare. Few of them are a staple in every cricket game.

 

[79cricket]

It's been a long wait, is this the cricket game of are dreams well it's close and if the gamplay is great to them long live Bigant Studios.

Please feel free to share the information with us. would love to know what else is hidden in the BAG!

 

[lexluger]

^^ I am merely speculating....If Bigant have covered so much ground, I believe they would include a lot of those stadiums as well.

 

[79cricket]

So you can move wicketkeeper and slips up or back, amazing never seen this kind of detail, maybe cricket captain.

I wonder how much else is left to find out about, if nothing time for release.
