more competitive AI using modified TeamAndPlayerInfo.bag [new v3.0: check first post]

UPDATE: Attached is the last version of my AI patch - v3.0. This overrides both previous versions. See readme.txt included in zip.

Summary of changes:
- altered stats for following 8 teams: Aus, Eng, Ind, NZ, Pak, SA, SL, WI
- increased batting stats for timing (88-92), precision (90-95), control (88-92) of batsman, dropping power a bit (60-75). [improves AI batting considerably, esp. in tests and 30-over ODIs where it slogs less]
- increased bowling stats for accuracy (85-90), swing (85-95), seam (85-95) [also turn off bowling pitch indicator to make batting tougher]
- increased fielding stats for all fielders to 99 [improves AI fielding only, does not make catching easier for yourself]
- see readme.txt to adjust slider settings for user team. (You need to drop stats significantly to make it difficult for yourself)

Things it does NOT fix: (it seems only an official patch can fix these)
- AI running b/w the wickets still crazy at times
- AI pacing still not great when chasing totals
- Run-rate high even in Tests

If I remeber correctly lazy editor only allows to decrease attributes not increase, cud you explain how did you increase the players attributes ?

lol you not see my screenshots in lazys thread showing how I increased players up tp 99 ?

I just highlighted the figures and tpyed in 99 or 75 or 50 or wotever lol

anyone want my bag file? just edited aus and eng though lol

chesnut and barmy's innovation has added a different dimension to this game.
cheers !

you can just enter them manually

I've been running the game with each attribute on 65% and power on 100%, and found that pretty realistic, although if anything the AI gets out to quick. Maybe if you take yours down 5-10% or so you might hit the sweet spot?

Playing with your tweaks however have really widened the game. Good work mate

After reading those, I think you really should try the editor. Theres no point bowling no leg cutters etc. when you can widen the experience 100 times more with the Ulukai .bag
