Don Bradman Cricket 14: A Baseball Fan Takes a Look

11:26 AM - June 19, 2014 by RaychelSnr

Last week, while browsing the Playstation Network Store, a new sports title caught my eye: Don Bradman’s Cricket 14. I was not only surprised to see a cricket game on the US PSN, but also by the fact that it appeared to be a full-featured, non-indy title. With the knowledge that cricket is a distant ancestor of baseball (my favorite sport), I decided to give this title a try.

Before reading my experiences, please keep in mind that this a review in structure only. Sure, I’ll give you the good, bad, and ugly, as well as offer buying recommendations at the end. But I am hardly a cricket expert. Basically, this is one baseball fan’s take on Don Bradman’s Cricket 14.

if you want to buy AFL Live 2 for PS3/Xbox, you're going to have a bad time! Just the heads up!

Care to elaborate?

I thought crickets were bugs, but I'm pretty sure frogs croak octopus.

For those with the game or looking to buy it, a second patch came out a week or so ago that fixes a lot of the issues that many on another forum (cricket-gaming-specific) were finding.

Truth is, Big Ant are doing a great job listening to avid, knowledgeable fans, and where they can and where they deem important enough, making those fixes available in patches. One of the benefits of a smaller (but by no means indie) company in a subset sports market... they can easily listen to fans and find out what they want in a cricket game.

I've played only a bit so far, but the fact that it was available for the 360 in the US was enough to sell me. I never got to play any of the past cricket games, but reviews I've read can attest to how terrible they were. DBC is a great representation of the game, and as the first in what I presume to be many more in a series, an excellent starting point.

Just an FYI for reviewer; "I have no idea what constitutes a good inning..." The term describing each teams round of batting in cricket is an "innings". I know it's plural but that's the way it is said and spelled.
