    Seems like this game is crying out for a positive review. Great game, career mode is much improved over any cricket game previous. Graphics and gameplay are all of a high standard. If you like cricket then this game is the best and most accurate you can get.

    I've pretty much played every cricket game since EA Cricket 2002. By far the most competent cricket game to date. Visually it's not brilliant, but the controls are great, the gameplay has been vastly improved and I like that they've added the community team sharing feature, which automatically uploads the top ranked teams to the game; a great way around all the licensing nightmares we'veI've pretty much played every cricket game since EA Cricket 2002.

    Don Bradman Cricket is an impressive cricket simulator made by Big Ant Studios and it is great to see the company putting so much effort into it. Graphically, the game can improve and minor gameplay tweaks will make this one of the best sporting simulations made outside of EA's FIFA and Madden franchises and 2K's NBA franchise.

    This is the worst ever game i played.Always you need to be guessing and pre-meditate the shots while you bat.If you watch the ball carefully and play you will get out immediately.controls are too odd. Camera settings are difficult to understand.50% of the times you are run out. If you survived there then you will get caught behind.You can not play the ball in the air.As every one speakThis is the worst ever game i played.Always you need to be guessing and pre-meditate the shots while you bat.If you watch the ball carefully and play you will get out immediately.controls are too odd.

    Don Bradman cricket is the most frustrating game out there. It utilises an unnecessarily complicated system for bowling and is not nearly as effective as other cricket games. You will need to invert your batting and bowling as well which is annoying as the game doesnt take into account camera changes. There is no minimap of the field layout in the game so you dont know where to hit to andDon Bradman cricket is the most frustrating game out there.

There is no minimap of the field layout in the game so you dont know where to hit to and because of the shocking angles there is no way you can see where your hitting to. The fielders are useless and the umpire is on drugs. One of the biggest dissapointments of my life. Do not waste your money.... Expand

    A perfect Delight for cricket lovers, only a bad thing you cant choose gray Nichols or other branded bats & kits, nice graphics, nice controls and game play. the best thing about this game is you can play 4 players in a single match.

    Weow this game I played a few years ago for the first time on its PS3 release day. I find it quote astonishing how a company that has never produced a cricket title before can come up with a masterpiece like this whilst other companies produce certain titles over and over and never seem to have an idea of what they're doing, but Big Ant got it right first time around with this title.Weow this game I played a few years ago for the first time on its PS3 release day.

    This is by far the most realistic cricket sim out there, the lack of any licenses could have been a worry but the online player editor and download feature fixes that in as easy as 1, 2, 3.... Depending on your setting the game can go from either being a bit to easy to exceptionally hard, what you need to do is find your level and soon you will realise that is plays very realistic, gone are the days of smacking every ball for six or getting bowled even though you time a ball how well, this game is realistic. The bowling, mainly spin bowling is a bit frustating and takes some time to figure out, but at least its fun. If you are looking at adding this game to your collection with Don Bradman Cricket 17 on its way in the next weeks then know that you wont be making a mistake. Bring on Don Bradman 17, I can not wait!

    Best cricket game ever.

    It is absolutely unfathomable how perfectly Big Ant Studios' nailed their first ever shot at a cricket game. It is just the perfect cricket simulator. The Academy aspect of the game along with its commentary, stadia, visuals, feel is top-notch.

    A deja vu update of last year's Don Bradman 14. Minimal graphics tweaks and not much else. [May 2015, p81]

    Don Bradman Cricket is an incredibly competent cricket simulation game.

    Aside from difficulty finding a quick match, and the fact that it’s a year old game that looks a lot older as it’s being sold at full price, Don Bradman Cricket offers plenty for those that don’t have the 2014 version.
