Which stick is footwork?
Left stick for foot work, right stick for shot selection.

Just making sure sorry, i tend to push the bowling in the wrong direction from time to timeLeft stick for foot work, right stick for shot selection.

Its a yes from meSo...what I wanna know is, is it worth getting it?
Yes but don't expect any polish, I'd value it at about $50, I'd have bought it full price thoughSo...what I wanna know is, is it worth getting it?
I would like to know what you mean by 'polish' if possible more specifically?Yes but don't expect any polish, I'd value it at about $50, I'd have bought it full price though
What i mean by polish is something blizzard does ultra well,like overwatch and d3, like professional i guess
The fielders are unnatural, the bowling is spot on but occasionally the batsmen don't do what you've asked and on ps4 standard there's huge frame drops on camera pan after each over
A feeling of a finished game, not requiring patchesI would like to know what you mean by 'polish' if possible more specifically?
I feel it's easy to say polish is what these big companies do. But what is that? Is there an example of what Big Ant do that is 'unpolished' and an example of what you would like it to be to be deemed 'polished' ?
Just curious
Right ok. So it's not things like better looking menu pages or loading screens or specific gameplay things like replay angles but more a generic perception thing.A feeling of a finished game, not requiring patches
Smoothness, think overwatch with no lag, diablo 3, the witcher 3
Well that is definitely part of itRight ok. So it's not things like better looking menu pages or loading screens or specific gameplay things like replay angles but more a generic perception thing.
I still struggle with bowling. Even on the easiest level I get carted. Any tips? I'm using the meter system rather than the two thumb stick system.I've finally gotten used to this game.
Up until now, Don Bradman Cricket 14 was the gold standard for me.
This game is better - has a pretty steep learning curve, but when you get used to it, it's a great cricket game.

Finally had a chance to sit down and have a good crack at Ashes mode.
After day one at the Gabba, Australia (me) is well on top, almost scoring 400 in a days play.
Joe Burns received a recall, and did not disappoint, scoring a superb 123 before shouldering arms to a bouncer that simply didn't get up. Burns had to get a big score after he sacrificed Khawaja, running him out when neither of them looked like being dismissed.
Skipper Steve Smith and Shaun Marsh have steadied the ship, both not out in their sixties, putting on over 100 for the fourth wicket. England need quick early wickets on day two to have any chance of stopping a landslide.
As far as this game goes, I think it is starting to shade DBC 14 as the best ever released. The addition of licences certainly helps, but matches also seem to flow better, and you simply cannot sit there and smack each ball into the stands all game.
I can't work out why the days play ended after 89 overs though, weird.
Keep an eye out for updates on this match, and the series.

I have DB 17 and I couldn't play that game..... batting was absolutely shocking....The batting is hard but fair unlike Bradman 17 which was total horse shit
So is the batting much harder than DB 14??I think this is the best cricket videogame ever.
The bowling is sublime, and imo, quite realistic.
The batting is also very realistic - a batsman will not teleporting his feet to play a shot that's a metre outside his off stump (like they used to in DBC14 and DBC17), meaning that nicks and mistimed shots are relatively frequent (like in a real match).
The fielding has improved in leaps and bounds, too - the fielders are smart enough to dive forward for a catch if they think it might just fall short, and they will tap a ball heading for the ropes infield to a teammate to throw to the stumps.
Excellent game.
