5 most iconic cricket video games of all time

#1 Don Bradman Cricket 17

A slight improvisation of its parent game DBC 14, this game turned out be everything a cricket fan ever asked for. Big Ant Studios put in four years into the development of this game and when you played it, you understood why.

While the high-specifications demand and the controller-only requirement of this cricket game slightly lowered the accessibility of it, but apart from that it managed to bring together the virtues of cricket games from before, without none of the vices. The game has an AI better than any before, which means that your opposition will not just block the yorker with five runs needed off two.

Among other notable features, there is a 360-degree stroke-range both of the front and the back-foot, ability to play in different eras of cricket, pitches that wear as the match progresses, a real-world resembling database of cricketers available for downloading on the Big Ant servers, a career mode that now begins at the grassroots instead of stateside or County like DBC 14, and the most groundbreaking of all, this is the first cricket game to incorporate women's cricket in it.

The success of the game meant that Big Ant furthered to renovate this game into the Ashes Cricket 2017, with much-improved shots thanks to real stroke input from real cricketers recorded by 25 multi-angled cameras shooting at 720 fps.
