Yeah, i got around to playing it a bit last night and this morning. I started an Ashes series and have only tried the batting so far. 320-7 at the end of day 1 after being 76-4 at lunch.
Im not sure what i think at the minute to be honest. The batting controls are good and gives you a lot of different options to score runs but they can take some getting used too hence my poor start. All the wickets i have lost i lost in proper England fashion by playing stupid shots.
The A.I bowling seems a bit erratic, theirs no real grouping and each deliverys line and length seems a bit random. Whether that is a case of the difficulty level i have it on or not im not sure. I'll up the difficulty for my 2nd innings and see how it goes.
When they took the new ball aswell they decided to give it Lyons and Cummins which seemed odd too. Cummings was avg over 5.0 an over when Starc and Hazelwood took the initial new ball.
Graphics arent at FIFA level but are decent enough. The presentation is clean and smart enough but the commentary despite having multiple commentators is as usual boring and repetive.
The detail that you can go into with the editing of players,stadiums,teams,bats and logos is very impressive and the community creations are bang on.
Without having had a go at bowling yet id give it 5/6 out of 10. IF the A.I bowling is more realistic at a harder difficulty setting it could easily jump to a 7/8.
