I'm sure it has been answered before. It's expensive basically because of piracy. Piracy doesn't damage the console market as much as it damages the PC market, and the game is already very niche. So the devs face the dilemma of using a lower price point and actually losing sales as well. As...

The biggest problem I've observed is AI routinely starting simulated run chases at 10+ rpo. It makes a lot of games not very worthwhile, because you can't even count on the AI to defend 400+. I have to suspect the problem is in the game's basic mechanics. If there's no fielder out, then it's...

Balls bowled with a "6 o'clock" seam bounce less. Good way to get a wicket, especially if you like to have a bat-pad.

Yeah there may be a lot of issues with "standard" controls versus classic. The game is very much designed for the classic control scheme, but the alternate control set addressed the problem of the game being not noob-friendly. If you're casual then it lowers the skill floor and allows you to...

Spinners can use length, loop and a quicker ball to mess with your timing. Unintuitively, "bounce" will make the ball float higher than "flight". This is because you are actually adding overspin, causing the ball to loop up then drop down, and bounce high. In theory, the bowler should also aim...

It's not meant as a left hand vs right hand kind of preference. Standard controls are there to be easier to learn and might come in handy for couch play with new players. Classic controls are more powerful.

There shouldn't really be more to it than what it says. These games allow SVG importing, but it's easy to hit the max number of points. An SVG is an image made of points connected by curves, like a recipe for an image, instead of a map where every pixel is specified. SVGs are relatively small...

imo it's worth increasing global pitch bounce a little (and maybe decreasing spinner bounce to compensate). perhaps some pitches are like that, certainly more at lower level than high level, but it's not much fun to play with it. also if you hate the long hops in men's you'll have your mind...

yeah maybe career mode is just really broken

okay that's enough motivation for me. let's start hacking the blob files to put kohli's face on every player

to me, most of the time they just automatically catch it, without the quicktime. sometimes i've seen the catch gadget come up but without enough time to do anything. for him to be getting hit on the body, your dude probably needs way better stats.

I think it's mostly just a kind of natural development process. Pace bowling in DB14 was awful but spin was overpowered. A lot of work has been done to make pace bowling fun and intuitive, but maybe too much was taken away from spinners.

I think often the game just rewards the new ball way more. After about 30 overs, sometimes even a batter with stats of about 20 could make runs. Especially because spinners rarely dominate. Subtle variations are very useful and much easier to control, especially with swing. The batter will also...

Make sure it's a standard SVG, for one. Some apps create compatibility issues. I think the logo editor only accepts about 30 shapes, even if they're in the same layer. If you reach the object limit, the game just won't let you have more layers, so things like text can be problematic. But there...

Being that it's a laptop, it's probably just stuck on integrated graphics. You should be able to force it into dedicated mode.
