this happened without the patch... i had it yesterday (ps5). ball went <1m past mid off, he stood there, eventually went after it and the batsmen were able to run 2

Weird, I guess maybe everyone else plays auto fielding and I’m just an odd ball playing semi assist

Delighted with my 332 all out. Until the AI strolled to 161-2 in 36 overs. I’d love a bloody run out.

Ps5. Wides seemed to get harsher a patch or 2 ago I think

I’m honestly seeing almost none of the issues others are reporting 1-1 with 3 to play recreating the West Indies tour to England 1988. I’ve won the toss and batting first on a flat deck for the 3rd test, made a decent start 170-3 in the afternoon session. Lost the first test comfortably and...

Grassy medium pitch. England 88 (me) vs WI 88 (2nd test. WI 1-0 up) WI score 289 in 86.2 overs, 2 run outs but they were the last 2 wickets and neither particularly ridiculous. Haynes scored 130, nobody else passed 30. Emburey took 1 wicket in 17 overs. I scored 303 in 64 overs, Lamb batsman...

Is the running/run-out issue steam only? It seems ok for me on ps5 I’m actually having a hell of a test match right now

I’ve been getting a lot, before the last patch, if you bowled a straight bouncer they’d leave it and it would hit them and then they’d “run”, but obviously not get a run as you don’t get leg byes without playing a shot.

The worst animation in the game for me is the frictionless slide across the ground. I cannot fathom how that ever got included. Find me a video of anything remotely like that happening on a cricket field ever (even with friction, of course). I got a wicket yesterday with a catch in the gully...

tbh it's not so much the overall run-rate, more the feeling that I am not bowling on a bowler friendly pitch. it definitely felt before that a grassy wicket was good to bowl on, this may as well have been astro-turf.

I’ve not had this skills issue. My teams seem to be coming out alright. My biggest issue at the minute is the pitch differences seem to have disappeared. On a grassy wicket I am getting movement but it’s not causing the AI batsmen any trouble, they’re cantering along 4 an over easily. Before...

Looks beautiful, but where the hell was the umpire running off to before the decision

That, is very very special.

I just used Derek Pringle to bounce out Viv Richards. I demand a refund.

Travelling for work the last week so not played. Back to it today. It’s playing really well. Not had a silly run out, spinner def not overpowered, Viv Richard’s taking me apart

me too. oh i got seconds of fun out of that...

They’ll release tabletop cricket, careful what you wish for

I had an inns on grassy/dry medium, cloudy… spinner took 3/40 in 18 overs. 2 top order set (50+) batsmen in his first 4 overs (had me worried) then the number 11. AI made 300 odd. 1 guy got a hundred, 2 50s as mentioned, not much else. The rage quit stuff mentioned before aside, it was...

Rage quit 4 times in 1 bowling inns: 3 stupid AI run outs, that has been made worse across the course of the patches, it was fine at launch. 1 keeper running in front of stumps to nonchalantly take a bat pad that would have been a sharp catch for silly point. It cannot be hard to stop the...

In other news, the AI has hit a number of 4s through the point boundary, and I still haven't posted anyone there. So maybe the AI field setting isn't so bad. Though I am now considering it
