    This by far is the best cricket game imo; Its good graphics and notable player sharing and the amount of customisation to the players faces, bodies and the customisation to the teams jerseys etc show that this is a very good game... However the gameplay isn't quite as good. It gets downright frustrating if you don't time the hit of the ball impeccably then the player will miss the ball andThis by far is the best cricket game imo; Its good graphics and notable player sharing and the amount of customisation to the players faces, bodies and the customisation to the teams jerseys etc show that this is a very good game... However the gameplay isn't quite as good. It gets downright frustrating if you don't time the hit of the ball impeccably then the player will miss the ball and get bowled or knick it to the keeper, slips. At first I thought this was just me with these problems as I am a noob at it; well a lot of people I know have the exact same problem. Not being able to get to 20-30 without getting out makes me spend a lot time doing other things; rather than playing this game. There should be a better learning curve. The game has its flaws (kinda like Rugby League Live 2 with its intercepts) but it is an Australian company Big Ant so I am supporting it; I like the game but not the batting; I myself haven't tried bowling but from what I have heard its quite frustrating that the batting. The lack of sponsors are disappointing but It is a good game for not being made by High budget companies like EA and 2K but I do believe this has set the platform for cricket games and Big ant only improve on from here.… Expand

    NOT BAD BUT COULD BE BETTER
    I bought this game for the pc recently and was impressed by the game play (with a controller). Especially batting was cool and I had a few great innings. But now, after about a week's worth of playing there are issues coming to light which dampen the enjoyment. There are a few bugs that can ruin your game. For example, I chanced a sprint for one more run, made    NOT BAD BUT COULD BE BETTER
    I bought this game for the pc recently and was impressed by the game play (with a controller). Especially batting was cool and I had a few great innings. But now, after about a week's worth of playing there are issues coming to light which dampen the enjoyment. There are a few bugs that can ruin your game. For example, I chanced a sprint for one more run, made a spectacular dive and just made it. But then the animation of the batsman is of him getting up, IN FRONT OF THE CREASE??? And he was run out by the wicket keeper...I mean, seriously??? This has happened on multiple occasions. Also, the game insists I watch an animation of the cricket field AFTER EVERY BALL, even in practice mode. After having seen the same fly over of the field for the 200th time I was seriously wishing I could turn off this stupid feature.

    Also, the AI fielding side, especially the bowler, seems to be a superhuman catching machine. Any straight drive withing 10 feet of the bowler will be caught by him. Also, if you're lucky enough to make your drive past the bowler, there is always your companion batsman who will make no effort whatsoever to get out of the way of the ball and stupidly just let it hit him.

    So for me, I got some enjoyment out of the game but some persistent "bugs" get in the way of having a great time. 6/10    … Expand

    For me its the best Cricket video game made soo far after EA Cricket 2005,2007,Brain lara international 2007,Ashes 2009... also the most awaited cricket game Ashes 2013 turned into a disaster the cricket gamers were disappointed but now they can be happy with Don bradman Cricket 14..good and variety game- play..graphics is just OK..overall a good cricket game for cricket lovers..

    As said before - every cricket fan have to have this game. It has interesting gameplay and setup, also ways of modding this game are absolutely fantastic (maybe the best in-game creator in sports simulators ever). However, there are a lot of small bugs and things, that are really annoying. And.. Only on gamepad? REALLY?
