Don Bradman Cricket 14

[Rabbits20]

R20, it's a solid game. I find it very fun and it can really absorb you. For instance, you'll be playing so well with the bat and then take a chance and you're out. You get all disjointed cause you knew it was a silly shot choice but you line up and try again, improve and the milestones are enjoyable.

I'd wait for the new version before buying it

What new version?

What's it going to be?

You've got me stumped lol.

Oh wow.

I have only just got this one and am going to have a look at it tonight and see how I go.

But I'll most likely have to get the new one too.

You won't regret it.

Shame the Rugby League is such a letdown cause they had such a good go at the cricket.


Once you get past the likeness and lack of corporate sponsorship it's great. Enjoy.

Hello R20.

Sorry for not elaborating. Yes, DB 2017 was pitched for release in November according to the forums but not 100% sure.

I had a go today at playing the game and I was terrible. It seems hard to play.

I was practicing in the nets on there and struggled to hit the ball.

Plus I thought it would have updated teams from say 2014 but it doesn't which was disappointing.

Did you make your own sides up with today's players????

Did you struggle at first with the game???



I've got the Rugby League game on order coming later this week too lol. I'm hoping that's a bit easier to pick up on.

This game is a lot harder than all the games betore it, but it well worth the time getting better.

 

[Eelementary]

It's a brilliant game, gameplay-wise.

Yes, some decisions (predominantly LBW's) are inconsistent, but the game is awesome fun.

 

[Eelementary]

And not only is it fun, but it's rewarding.

I simply love the spin bowling and batting.

 

[Rabbits20]

I'm getting better now.

Playing my first test match on second easiest difficulty.

Ran myself out 3 times and am 6/105 off 37 overs. Better than I thought for my first match.

 

[Rabbits20]

It's funny this game just as you think you're on top and have a 100 run partnership going, then all of a sudden you lose a few quick wickets to LBW or nicking off.

It requires a lot of concentration.

 

[Rabbits20]

It will be crap like every other cricket game, I guarantee it.

Wrong. Completely.

 

[Mogsheen Jadwat]

finally sat down and played this yesterday, it's not bad but f**k it's a real slog sometimes. nothing more frustrating than running your partner out because he's just spent the best part of 3 overs hitting dots and 2 runs an over.

 

[Rabbits20]

Played my first innings in career mode playing for the Blues and coming in batting at 4.

I made 7 off 25 balls before nicking one to the man close to the pitch. Got out by Agar.

Didn't think I'd make a run at all lol.

 

[Mogsheen Jadwat]

Scored 170 last night in career mode, highest score to date.

Think I've pretty much worked out the batting now, just have to remind myself you can't go for a 6 every ball (tho i did 5 in a row against some pacemen in the sheff shield).

I figured out a way to make the game not as boring when you're not on strike - play poker on your second monitor.

 

[Iafeta]

You can go for the Tonk approach. If they don't have a deep mid wicket or deep long on, slog away to cows corner off the quicks. You can get some big runs quickly. Spinners, I find it tough to time them though.

I can only dream lol.

Highest score in sheff shield is 63.

I'm in my second year in career mode batting at 4 as a 17yr old:

Sheff Shield avg: 20 highest 63. 5 fifties.

ODD average: 28 highest 107

20/20 average: 29 highest 85


Better than I thought. I'm not the best but I'll keep persisting.

You have to pick the right ball to go for though.

I go for a slog and it turns out it's off a Yorker and I get out caught at mid on.

Not best to slog early in your innings either.

My strike rate in shield is 65 and in ODD about 95. In 20/20 it's like 215 strike rate lol.

 

[Iafeta]

First 5 or 6 balls aren't easy to slog. As long as you accurately gauge the pace of when to swing and as long as the field isn't back it's a good tactic to hit over mid on.
