Dear
@MattW @JNT BA ,
The AI fielders never miss a single catch. This is so unrealistic. One can expect 1 out of 10 catches to be missed. My experience is based on limited over matches only. Please make AI drop a small percentage of catches in the game for realism sake.
They've broken the AI catching on almost every patch released, fix it, only to then break it again with the next patch anyway. As a result the game has been in a state of the AI catching everything & never dropping most of the time & the current patch is yet again back to the Ashes Cricket (17) catch all system.
All AI catch chances are currently 100% guaranteed again. (I've been testing this in the stand alone Ashes, T20 & ODI world series tournaments & a career mode, & they're all affected. I can deliberately hit every shot in the air & not one is ever dropped regardless of a respective fielders catching stats or any other factor.)
Additionally, fielders are also now positioning themselves either ten yards short of some arial shots so the ball sails cleanly over their heads when they jump to make a catch, or they're actually positioning themselves outside of the rope on some smaller grounds to make a catch for six.
There's definitely been improvement on previous patches again but things just seem completely back out of synch again with regards to the fielding in particular which seems to receive very little attention indeed when it comes to testing before a patch is released.
