One thing to add. I obviously only bowled 5 balls, stock offie, in a row, to get this data. The AI got out three times, in this tiny sample size. They simply cant play spin, at all. Unless BA can fix this i see no future in the game, i only play Test matches, so whats the point if i cant...

This will be a long post, so bare with and settle in... Now, we know theres no visual pitch degradation, another feature inexplicably removed by BA, but does anything, anything at all go on under the hood that means the ball turns more as a test match wears on? Im going to test and find out...

As many have said - OP spin has killed it...again. Ive put the game down until BA at least attempts to fix it - whether they can...not a clue. Not confident. Shame as progress with the patches was being made.

Shouldnt result in zero turn at all though. Anyway, this has given me an idea for some proper analysis as to whether pitches change the gameplay at all during a test. Will dive in and report back.

Steve Bucknor has his finger up for that one. Missing 5th stump? Nah...get gone son. Also, did Jadeja get any turn for you? As mentioned, didnt for me, despite Ashwin tonnin it a lot. Good analysis.

Yep its a good point, so next time i fire up ill try exactly that scenario, hoping on a hard Australian deck to be far less successful.

Oh dear :NO:

Shami swings one away beautifully to tickle the bails off - nice to see the stumps dont have to fly for a bowled EVERY time... Here we see Ashwin picking one up that turns nicely through the gate with a little inside edge... Lastly another bat pad. Windies reeling against me 67-5 at lunch...

Fair summary. Still desperately need pitch visual deterioration and for it to affect the game, but its being looked at. Getting there...slowly i would say.

Yeah both are. Maybe its now turning for offies and leggies but not slow left arm, which is what Jadeja is listed as. Dunno, give up trying to work BA out.

More. Sadly, after Ashwins nice turn, Jadeja got...nothing. @blockerdave Unsure why its intermittent? Did get a nice bat pad dismissal with the non turning ball though...

Another one - the "4" and "6" etc, and Cricket 24 wipe on all replays now comes off the screen a lot faster, so you can see the actual replay.

One thing, as someone else said - looking around the field before bowling use LT is now gone, as is looking at the ball condition using LT & RT. Very annoying, used to do both often. Fix something, break something else. Oh one more - theyve altered the broadcast cams, at least some of them...

Few early observations. Fielding is a little better, keeper much improved from his previous madness, but still the odd weirdness, such as this animation used for a return from deep fine, he never faces the right way. Next is this, im seeing a lot of shots played to leg that really shouldnt...

Defo top of my "keep your eye on list", firing up shortly. 1697723597 Something ive never seen in a BA game. Promising.

Time for another "test" Test match, in India, using the Asia set from @Rumple43 sliders. Is it better? Thoughts to come...

Nothing on Steam yet...

The next instalment of the annual BA patchathon for their games lands today, lets see what this one brings, improvements is the rumour...

Imagine any company, with any sort of self respect, releasing a cricket game where you can't spin a cricket ball. Then having no seeming idea how to fix it. Just let that sink in for a bit.

Which is surprising as theyve been world class at copying and pasting most things from C22.
