DON BRADMAN CRICKET 17
Don Bradman Cricket 17 is an evolution in cricket gaming. Taking all the knowledge gained and bringing cricket truly into the next generation.
Don Bradman Cricket 17 provides 5 difficulty levels that progressively deliver both expanded controls and harder opponents.
The two lowest difficulties, “Rookie” and “Amateur”, will assist with foot movement and shot selection during batting. There is more leniency applied to timing, release and smoothness ratings when bowling as well.
