Don Bradman Cricket 17 Full Features List
Melbourne, August 19, in the year of our Lord 2016:
Big Ant Studios, Australia’s premier sports game developer, has
today unveiled the full feature list for its upcoming Don
Bradman Cricket 17. Launching in mid-December, players will have
access to more ways to play, deeper customisation options, and
more data sets to play with.
In addition to the already-announced female players – the first
for a cricket game ever – Don Bradman Cricket 17 expands on the
solid foundations set down by its predecessor. The latest
edition offers career mode, character creation options, improved
bowling and fielding mechanics, improved commentary and new
graphs and statistics.
“We really wanted to approach Don Bradman Cricket 17 as a
response to fan requests,” Big Ant CEO, Ross Symons, said. “Each
of the features that have been added or improved in this new
game addresses our most frequently-requested updates. We would
like to thank all of our fans for the support over the years,
and we can’t wait to get your thoughts on this latest release.”
Also today, Big Ant has released the “Nets” part of the game to
give players a full taste on how the final game will play. It is
free, and available on Steam.
Don Bradman Cricket 17 details:
Career Mode
One of the most popular gameplay modes in the original Don
Bradman Cricket was the career mode. This has been substantially
expanded, with new features including:
● Club Cricket – You’ll begin your career at the local level,
playing for teams in your own starting region before ascending
to domestic and international levels.
● Dynamic Squads – Teams will change as players around you age
and retire, get injured, go in and out of form, get selected or
dropped from higher levels of play.
● “Be a Pro” – This option allows the user to take a
pre-existing player and begin a career with them.
● Play as Team – Allow the user to play as the whole team in
career mode if they choose to.
More Character Creation Options
In addition to a greatly expanded creation options around facial
features, tattoos, and so on, Don Bradman Cricket will also have
a full and comprehensive stadium creator mode that will allow
players to recreate their own local cricket ground in-game. A
logo editor, meanwhile, will allow players to recreate their own
team logos and sponsorships on their uniforms and bats.
Improved Bowling Mechanics
The popular and innovative bowling mechanics from the original
Don Bradman Cricket have been improved, in order to make the
experience more accessible to new players, while as challenging
as before for practiced hands. Updates to the bowling include an
effort to make spin bowling more similar in execution to pace
bowling, to maintain the experience across both kinds of
bowling. Further, there is now a more intuitive association
between input direction and spin/seam/swing direction.
Improved Fielding Mechanics
Characters now have separate fielding attributes and skills in
Don Bradman Cricket 17, and players will be able to take a much
more hands-on role with the fielding during matches. There are
new mechanics that handle infield & slips catching and fans of
wicket keepers can look forward to having a more significant
role in games.
Improved Commentary
Don Bradman Cricket 17 will have a vastly expanded commentary
system that will provide unparalleled match analysis, more
immediate response to in-game events, and authentic banter
between the commentators in the box.
New Graphs & Stats
Players love their Wagon Wheels and Manhattan Charts, and Don
Bradman Cricket 17 will include a comprehensive set of
statistics that will show you with crystal clarity which of your
players are really performing on match day.
Fans looking to get a taste for the game now can download the
Cricket Academy application from the Steam store, which features
the character creation mode, and will be updated closer to
release with playable elements.
