One element of the Bradman games that proved to be divisive amongst fans was their analogue stick-centric control setups, which I personally found workable enough for batting but overly fussy for bowling. Ashes Cricket is Steve Smith rife with distracting little quirks as it takes guard, but nonetheless capable of a confident, exciting, and reliable brand of cricket once each ball is delivered.First and foremost, Big Ant’s latest just feels right in the hands. It makes sense that Big Ant Studios has stepped away from the Don Bradman license in favour of partnering with the current Australian and English cricket boards for its latest cricket game because, with all due respect to the Greatest Australian in the History of Australianism, Ashes Cricket isn’t Don Bradman.
