The company also indicated that its current priority was to "protect the Ashes name and that of the ECB and Cricket Australia, and do what we can to recompense the cricket community." 505 have offered refunds to all who purchased Ashes Cricket 2013, and also cancelled plans to release console versions of the game.[161][162]    … Expand

    I am speechless. What was that?. absolutely useless and bad (can't stress enough) game. hard to believe that the creators had the audacity to release such a sub-standard game in the market. in the 2013 market of games..such games should be forbidden to be released unless they are able to attain a certain quality standard (is there any governing body for that??)

    recommendation: waste of time.don't bother buying or installing.

    This game is absolutely rubbish! Even the basic of animations are not done correctly, This game does not justify cricket at all. Game does not have basic features like Online play,Replay,DRS system and so on. Really disappointed, Do not purchase. Stay away.

    Look, I love cricket, I play cricket. I have played many cricket games. EA Cricket 2009 being on of the best I have played.

    The usual cliched comment that cricket is not a big enough market is nonsense. Most popular sport in India (They've got a few people over there!), also Australia! Hugely popular in England, South-Africa, Pakistan, Bangladesh, West Indies, Sri-Lanka and others. Just make a decent game for a change, that does not favour certain teams. Sure bangladesh does not have the No.1 side at the moment, but why would a bangladesh supporter want a game that handicaps their favourite team by default? A well designed online competitive cricket game would surely rake in enough money!    … Expand

    I can't even begin to list the things that are wrong with this game...but i'll try: the ball disappears, the ball hitting the bat sound decides to disappear from time to time, the fielders dont bother picking up the ball allowing you to run 100 from 1 ball, the ball magically goes straight to the keeper even if it is heading several meters either side of him, the ball sticks to the wall if you hit a boundary, players step over the boundary rope to throw the ball yet it's not given as a four, the umpire gives a player out even on a no ball, the fielders face the wrong way, the animations are just plain awful, the graphics are ps2 (if that), the statistics are wrong wickets are given to people who make the catch not the bowler, the scorecard frequently has mistakes on it, the commentary is often repeated, the commentary is often completely wrong, the bowler can bowl backwards, the fielders can throw if facing backwards, fields near the ball stand still and other fields from across the pitch run across to retrieve it....and there's more!

    Just please do not waste your money on this. It is by far and away the worst game I have EVER played.    … Expand

    This game is terrible. Unable to change graphics settings, no difficulty setting. They shouldn't of released it. Just wait for Don Bradman Cricket 14 rather than this garbage. It is worse then the 2009 and 2010 game.

    Is there a quality control dept at Steam? Well if there is then they must have been asleep at the wheel what a train wreck this game has turned out to be. There are no redeeming points to this this game. Graphics poor, Animation dodgy. Keyboard controls don't work.

    Worst of all no practice nets. Whoever heard of a game of cricket without practice nets!

    Worst game I have ever downloaded. full of bugs and slow. Graphics are so poor as well. A very lazy effort I wish I could ask for my money back. It's clearly not finished and batting is v hit or miss (no pun intended!)

    This is undoubtedly the most disappointing cricket game that has been released. It is completely unplayable, thanks to the frequently game breaking bugs, no tutorial or practice nets, incredibly stupid animation, and the lack of any real animation in the characters.

It is completely unplayable, thanks to the frequently game breaking bugs, no tutorial or practice nets, incredibly stupid animation, and the lack of any real animation in the characters.

    The developers (505 Games) announced before the first Ashes series in England that they were delaying the release of this game because "...it simply wasn't good enough." It is mind boggling, that even with the extra time during development, the game that was released feels like it was rushed out.

    The game is incredibly ugly, with character models looking like flesh coloured sticks that barely move, let alone look like they are actually playing a game of cricket. More often than not, batsmen would collide with other players, if they didn't just morph into one entity of spasms. The fielders are just as bad, because if they aren't throwing the ball to the other boundary, or not going for catches (which would normally be quite easy to catch in other cricket games) they kind of just have the ball materialise in their hand, which is very confusing if you are on the batting team, making run outs a much more frequent occurrence than what is considered normal.

    I was very excited for this game because it was the first cricket game in about 7 years, but it wouldn't be unfair if this game doesn't play as well as a cricket game from 20 years ago.

    I could go on about the lack of options, online multiplayer, no chance to change visual options (aside from screen resolution), or lack of atmosphere in game, or I could just sum up my opinion in one sentence.

    A cricket game that isn't fun, and it feels like it is in a pre beta stage of development. Avoid at all costs.    … Expand

    Pathetic attempt at a game we all love so much. Even if we try to ignore the glaring bugs in graphics and animations, we just cannot accept a game which gets the basic fundamentals of the game wrong. .This game should be burnt to ashes.

    Horrific game, not one redeeming quality. It is buggy to the point it is unplayable, it just is NOT good enough to be sold at ANY price. Games 7 years older than this are SUBSTANTIALLY better. Unfortunately, this isn't the cricket game for me, but hopefully an alternative crops up soon.

    It is a sad day for cricket games when you see some of these bugs, absolutely insane really.

    This is the worst cricket game ever developed. In fact this is one of the worst cricket games ever developed, right at par with E.T. Even if unaccountable bugs are fixed the game should not fetch more then zero points. Released in November 2013 the game gives a look & game play inferior to 1999 Brian Lara Cricket.Simply not worth buying or playing.

Controls that are inspired by cricket games of the late 90s and early 2000s (no foot selection option) and graphics and animations that makes the game look like a game from the 90s but better resolution. Glitches include, 8 fielders looking for a ball together which is lying in front of them and batsmen taking 30 runs in one ball this way, Wrong fielders fielding the ball, stadium floodlights not turning up, catchers getting credit for the wicket.

Unprofessional and sloppy attempt at a game. 505 Games, Trickstar and even Steam should be up on criminal charges of Theft (for charging money for this abortion of a game) and Fraud (for calling it a game). They fail to understand the basics of Cricket let alone Programming... anyone involved with making this game or who rates it more than a 1 should be sterilized.
