Is it just me or are team scores very low? I only just made it out of club cricket (after 5 years... I suck) and the scores are consistently sub 200 in 3 day games and for T20's it's like targets of 100. Makes it a bit easy so to speak chasing scores... never really have any run rate pressure...

Can someone please explain what the edge sliders in the settings mean? The instructions are very vague. "Edges - Good Input Influence" - "Increasing this slider will increase the influence that good input has on the chances of the ball hitting the edge of the bat" Influence... in what way...

Okay, but do I have to do that before starting a career or can I do it mid career on an existing save?

Does this mean if we play against India it'll have no name players and there is nothing you can do about it?

Can you edit teams in career mode after starting one? I'd like to start, but I don't want to get to the Australian team and be against a whole bunch of unlicensed teams. But on the other hand using the Academy is such a pain that I really don't want to have to edit them all now.

R.e. rain, I think we should only have it if it is done properly. As a video game designer, every time you take something out of the control of the players, it's a huge risk. Rain is very much "in God's hands", and in games in the past the user felt like there was no control because it would...

Yeah I just setup your sliders and went straight into a 4 day game. I really felt myself struggling to survive which was fun (except when the AI kept bowling crap on leg stump). Struggled to about 160 as Vic vs WA, so a low total but maybe competitive if I bowl well.

Using your sliders and I must admit the game is much more fun than I was expecting. The ball seems to have real pace now!

Holy hell academy is slow... this would be like a solid full evening effort just to get real teams? Is this just me?

Can someone please let me know what setup should be done before starting a career? Which teams to download/edit etc..?

I hear people talking about certain batting styles being "bugged". Is there a list? I want to start a career mode but have been told you can't change your batting style throughout so I guess it's important to get right early.

Just checking, these sliders do affect career mode, yes?

See, I'd like to play, but I don't want to bowl loads.... Also is career mode really playable yet or is it still buggy as hell?

Are there any cases where a pure batsman bowls as a part timer?

How do you hit the gaps exactly? What type of shots/controls?
