If that were to happen in real life, the player would probably have minor concussion at least and definitely wouldn’t be celebrating the wicket. Then we saw the replay and noticed that the ball hit the fielders head, bounced and lobbed into outstretched hands. For instance, during a Test match when we were batting, one of our players was out caught. There were plenty of times when we noticed something wrong with the way players field in this game. Once again though, we felt disappointed by the fielding AI. Batsmen or batswomen stand tall even if hit on the helmet by a bouncer and bowlers regularly walk right through the umpire as if they were a ghost. The only thing missing here is realistic collisions. We looked at the range of shots this game allows us to play and could find hardly any that looked fake, which is a massive improvement over previous Big Ant games. We don’t think any other cricket game has come this close to matching the vast array of cricket shots, including unorthodox shots such as the Switch Hit. While their actions are quite well done in the game, the run up could look better.īatting animations are the highlight of this game. In real life, you’d notice that James Anderson and Josh Hazlewood have very distinct styles of running in for a delivery. We think there’s room for improvement in bowling animations because the running style for most pace bowlers seemed quite similar. Bowlers no longer have the same generic action and yes, that means different two leg-spinners will have distinct bowling actions.

Similarly, Ashes Cricket does well to imitate players such as Steven Smith - the way he takes guard and fidgets a bit before the delivery and the way he plays shots - but not all players are well represented in this department.īatting and bowling animations are a highlight of Ashes Cricket. If you’ve played FIFA 18, you’ll know that when Ronaldo takes a free kick in the game, the motion looks exactly like what the player does in real life.

Player likenesses are quite well done, although they’re still not at the same level as FIFA. This makes a massive difference to the game by adding a touch of realism. All Australian domestic cricket teams are available in the game, apart from the national teams mentioned earlier.

The men’s and women’s national teams for England and Australia are fully licensed. That is how Ashes Cricket was born.Īshes Cricket has one major differentiating feature when compared with Don Bradman Cricket 17 - player licenses. With The Ashes coming up in November 2017, the board decided to partner with Big Ant and create a realistic cricket game ahead of the series.

Sometime in 2016, Cricket Australia (which governs professional cricket in the country) started talking to Big Ant Studio about being more involved in making a cricket game. We’ve written at length about Don Bradman Cricket 17, which did very well to capture some of the complexities of cricket but had a lot of room for improvement.
