    True. It is absolutely maddening for me that I have to keep my patience and bowl to a no.11 as if I am bowling to a top-order batsman. When the game was launched, I remember getting the tail out was quite easy compared to previous games. But after all these patches, somehow the tail-enders once...

    LBW is difficult to get but certainly possible with good setup. What I have learnt from my bowling in this game is that it takes at least 4-5 deliveries to setup a batsman. Sometimes it might take 12-15 deliveries spread over few overs to get them setup for a certain type of dismissals. Try to...

    Yeah it is happening after you make a manual appeal. First it goes to the countdown screen. Then the camera pans to some random part of the stadium and stays like that for around 15-20 seconds. Then it pans back to the bowler. But now the non-striker is on strike not the striker. Another strange...

    Quick observations after 25 overs bowling in a test match between IND & AUS (Green/Medium/Veteran): Extremely rewarding bowling and realistic dismissals. Pinned down Khwaja with tight lines, got him caught behind trying to play lofted cover drive after scoring 11 of 45 deliveries. Bowled short...

    Dynamic camera is quite good. But it zooms in too much just before the bowler releases the ball. I hope they adjust the zoom or at least allow players to choose how much to zoom in,

    Patch seems promising. The bowling feels more rewarding as in increase in frequency of close calls and wickets if you bowl tightly. Fielding is much improved although there are occasions when the fielder didn't move or started to move after the ball passed them. So fine tuning is required. But...

    I've had only one in 3 test matches all played on Green pitch. Most importantly the play and miss have mostly gone out of the window. No matter how tight I bowl the AI always plsys the ball comfortably untill they get out. When the game came out one thing I enjoyed very much was bowling. That...

    First it was load a save when AI runs themselves out. Now, load a save when the WK comes forward and take catches right off the bat.

    One thing is for sure, that this roll-back patch is not the patch we had. Biggest thing is AI again has started to lose wickets in a cluster against the spinners. I have tried three different pitches and every single time they lost 5-6 wickets in 10-12 overs. Before these 2 patches, on green and...

    Can someone please check and confirm if the spin amount has been reduced again? I played couple of games after the new roll-back patch and it seems the spinners are getting a lot less turn compared to what we had recently.

    Not sure. I think the best option was something like 'Update Only When The Game Is Launched' or something like that. So I believe you will not be able to play the game without updating.

    I can't speak for others but I would rather wait a week or so more and get a properly tested patch. I think BA should do away with 'Patch Days'. Rather, they should put out a list of issues that they are trying to fix in the current patch to be released and provide us a tentative release date of...

    Don't. Wait for the next patch.

    Things were moving towards the correct direction till the last patch. This patch has undone a lot of good things. It is like they merged the updated code with an old build with lots of bugs & uploaded it. Can't find any other explanation.

    Are super-human close in catchers back? AI played 2 flicks and was caught by bat-pad. Not edge or anything. Just properly timed shots. EDIT The OP spinners might be back as well. Ashwin took 3 wickets in 5 overs in a green top. Nice work BA.

    This is so obvious. Yet BA can't see this. I guess at this point it is something that I should expect.

    I played five overs of a test match. AI dropping & running on every single defensive shot unless a close in fielder is there. 1 run out...

    I believe it is something BA has broken while fixibg other issues. When the game first came out, it was a lot more rewarding when consistently bowling in the channel... Lots of play & miss, inside edge etc, especially on Green tracks. Maybe they broke something while making AI more robust...

    Batting is too easy on hard.. Too hard on hardest. You have to get your own custom difficulty which should be between the two. For starters, set visual speed to 100, marker display time to 2,foot placement difficulty to 80-85 & see how it goes.

    Does the physics slider change anything while I'm bowling to the AI? When batting I found it increases the Visual Speed but not sure what else it changes.
