@wasteyouryouth I sent you a DM a few days back. Can you please check it?

I've made a few attempts to get in to playing again recently.

I'm increasingly convinced that there's some sort of RNG that determines what kind of gameplay you get every time you start a play session. Like, you can be having a pretty good match, save, come back a few hours later or the next day, and you are playing an entirely different match. If you're batting, the bowling lines will be completely different, frequency of wides/no-balls completely different etc.

If you're bowling, it will be the batsman's mentality/approach, chance/wicket frequency etc.

It's really odd. I can't think why they would do this, but I'm becoming certain that it's true. At the very least, the match settings/difficulty are randomly changing each time you load.

Fast bowling styles 6 , 12 , 14 .. are these generic or belong to some real players?

6 is Pat Cummins and 12 is Josh Hazlewood. No idea about Bowling Style 14 though.

I have had it where the settings or sliders don’t work after loading back In.

But never heard of the other stuff. AI will have different bowling tactics that can change throughout an innings though.

Well I’ve just had a really excellent session of play batting, just over a day of a test match. Let’s see what happens when I fire it up tomorrow!

So they just literally removed the catching mini game, huh?

So interestingly just came back to a game where Middlesex ended 44-0 at the end of the last session I played (I batted before) and I was being spanked but I was right back in it when I restearted and had them 7 down by lunch on Day 2. I think some of it maybe confirmation bias tbf and it's more to do with how the game calculates to make it look legit rather than a toggle on and off. I think is why you have playyers switch from murdering every ball to looking plike they'll hole out within an over because they scores +12 of their average and it's time for them to be out.

I raised support tickets to bring back catching mini game and they did DM to me that they have said that we can't get time to move the circle to finish up it and it's resulting unusual results. Surprise it's players skill to perform catching mini game. But devs r doing nothing to fix fielding issues

Finally decided to give Career Mode a go in this game. I want to replace some of the generic club teams with Minor Counties and possibly Oxford and Cambridge University. Any creator suggestions for these teams in the Academy?

So I completed a test match today, the first one for a long time. I was England 80s vs Pakistan 80s in Lahore, grassy dusty pitch.

Actually, a really excellent match. Gatting made 177 and the next best was Gooch with 40, several 30s. I made 420-odd in 100 or so overs. They were all out for 360, Miandad made a 100. I didn’t bat so well 2nd inns, all out for 230 they need 298 to win.

Good second inns, opening partnership starts to look dangerous but then I chip out a couple of wickets, then they get a partnership, then I get a breakthrough or two… then a partnership… I get them 7 down and still 160-odd short, but Imran (72) and Shoaib Mohammad (45) have a good partnership, then I manage to get them and the final wicket goes, I win by 61.

Spin did take my most wickets (5 for Emburey in 1st inns, 5 for Miller 2nd inns) but it was a spin friendly pitch and it definitely didn’t dominate and turn the AI over like I’ve seen before.

Niggly bits of course, but overall you know what: I had a fun game. Pleasing to see pitch deteriorate - noticeably looked a 4th day pitch when it finished, and if you look at the 2nd inns for both teams (days 3/4) it played like it deteriorated.

When Imran and Shoaib were having that 8th wicket partnership, it was approaching squeaky bum time. They actually played really nicely. Imran hit a few nice slog sweeps and stopped when I put a man back. I never felt at any point like I was getting “AI’d”.
