    Yes I had a caught off pad today. First career match for England, so I turned on the commentary for the first time too. Slats even said, "He pads that one away"... the bat was nowhere near the ball and it was still given out caught...needless to say, the batsman didn't review either (though I...

    General question to anyone who spends any time batting in ProCam: Have you encountered a weird glitch where the camera starts to drift as the bowler runs in? I get this every now and then (for some reason I think it happens more frequently in the 2nd innings). It starts moving to face the cover...

    Although I haven't had this problem much (bowling mainly career mode spin...so I don't know if that is a factor) I would put it up there with the caught off pad problem as something that I would hope to see fixed in the update. There may be an underlying problem around collision detection that...

    I must admit that I'm not enjoying the 'exclusive' nature of the beta thread. It just needs moderating so that unhelpful or off-topic posts and bleating about release dates are deleted and allow those who are generally interested in the game and its improvement to engage in discussion in the...

    Moving house, having a baby, working...beta testing and posting videos...what do you do with all your spare time?

    Ashes Cricket General Discussion

    Cricket must be tough to develop a convincing game for and also to test. For instance, in real life sometimes teams really don't chase well...sometimes they blast it without breaking a sweat. There's an ebb and flow within matches and across series and, indeed, over years. I hope that we can...

    That run out looked on the cards early doors. Must admit I've never tried batting with that setup...and would no doubt make a hash of it if I tried. What's the experience like now in ProCam? I'd love to remove some of the premeditation that I still do...and be able to play with greater...

    As a new member could you think about the contribution that you are looking to make so that you don't get off on the wrong foot. More posts just decrying the lack of a patch or restating your opinion on what BA should or shouldn't do are not adding to the sum of human happiness. It's not about...

    Yes...that was a decent workout for Anderson and Broad. Did their performance not tail-off with increased fatigue or did you manage to rest them a bit? Certainly would expect more maidens especially after the fourth wicket went down...but if it was a good batting track perhaps not entirely...

    Nice...I'd like to see the bowling figures for that innings. Only Broad and Anderson had much joy.

    Yes...I suspect that you already are expecting a patch.

    @Dutch thanks...good to see 2's and 3's being taken...though it's going to be tough to turn the match around for England...so a bit like real life.

    Ashes Cricket General Discussion

    I get the sentiment around the idea of a restricted thread...we get the info we crave, the beta testers avoid having to deal with unwarranted criticism. However, I think it would cause further problems because a) it sort of puts an onus on the beta team to post stuff on a frequent basis and deal...

    Fantastic...the fact that Warner reviewed is great to hear. Is BARS back up and running?

    Looks like they rolled out a patch in real life...Australia 17 for 0 after 12 overs...ball swinging and seaming, Warner and Bancroft hanging on desperately.

    @Ashy1985's comment is a classic example of posting something without consideration of content or purpose. It adds nothing to the conversation but serves only to antagonise some people or galvanise others to continue to post the banal and the pointless. This is a public forum (albeit with...

    I do recognise that BA may be cautious of an open beta precisely because of some of the craziness that often comes back in terms of feedback. However, there is a huge advantage to increasing test coverage that they will not get if they rely on a few people to do some testing. If they cannot...
