It's a fantastic game despite being almost 10 years old. Even when compared to later Big Ant Cricket titles, DBC 14 in my opinion is head and shoulders above all. It's arguably the most realistic game in terms of depth, mechanics, physics and customisation options. It has it's drawbacks as well. But overall the most accurate Cricket Simulation to date.

Pros:
1- Very realistic batting controls which make premeditation of shot almost impossible.
2- Unique bowling controls are actually quite fun.
3- Graphics are very realistic even for a decade old game.
4- Dedicated Appeal button is actually a touch of genius.
5- Physics are as realistic as it gets in a cricket game.
6- Endless customisation options keep the game relevant for years to come
7- Career mode is very fun to play despite being very basic.
8- AI is quite competitive and makes you work hard for both runs and wickets.
9- Stadiums and Grounds feel very realistic in terms of scale and overall look and feel.
10- Community creations make team updates very convenient.

Cons:
1- Lack of On-field radar is very frustrating at times.
2- Lack of a batsman running camera/visual is actually very inconvenient and can make judging runs very difficult when combined with very dodgy camera angles.
3-Camera angles are very weird and quite off putting.
4- Lack of a variety of batting and bowling animations can get frustrating as there are no real differences between players apart from their physical features and names. Some different variety of bowling actions, batting stances, more shot animations, visible batting style differences, different variations of the existing shots and so on could've made it an even more engaging game.
5- Animations looks quite stiff across the board.
6- Wicket keeping animations are very jerky and unrealistic. Keeper hardly follows the ball and often takes catches with one hand. It feels as though it's just another fielder with pads and gloves on. Some more time could've been spent studying how wicket keepers operate to better implement these animations.
7- Ball doesn't carry to the keeper and slips more often than not even if it's bowled at 145+ km/h.
8- All test playing nations should've had at least one stadium/ground assigned to them.
9-Lack of keyboard controls can get quite frustrating. Devs could've taken a looks at previous Cricket titles on both PC/Mobiles all of which had unique ways of implementing controls which could've suited DBC 14 without compromising the realism of the game.
10- There should've been an in-game fixture editor that could've dealt with Career mode fixtures as they can get quite repetitive after a while.

Overall, it's a brilliant game especially considering this was Big Ant's first crack at a Cricket game and to have come up with a game that completely broke away from the blueprint of previous games and cemented itself as the new benchmark in Cricket titles must be applauded . Despite it's drawbacks some of which were self-inflicted due to curious design choices, this still is the most realistic Cricket Simulation to date and has introduced some very crucial features which are now replicated in all other Cricket titles.
