I've turned down drift and spin to 25 and I'm still seeing spin utterly dominate. What are the slider fixes you all talk about? They also seem to be more potent on green pitches.

What settings are you using @blockerdave?

Yeah mega placebo effect. Majaraj 5-19 in the first innings of SL, and then they hit 320 in the second. Every time. Boring. Though others are saying the AI can play spin? I am talking about test matches. No desire to play the game at the moment.

First observations with the patch. AI has bowled 7 bowlers in the first session. Interesting AI seems to be able to play spin a bit better. Early days. Throwing and ball physics seem improved. It doesn't feel like such a tennis ball. AI not collapsing in the first session of a test. Some new...

Did get a nice bowled, just clipping the bails, which I don't think I have seen before.

Mark Wood no longer has Jofra Archer's action

Take a breath guys and join the six of us globally that are playing Ashes Cricket - the last decent cricket game.

I've gone back to playing Ashes Cricket. Apart from the AI spinners ripping the ball in both directions (and I wish that could be patched, probably fairly easy), the game has absolutely everything in terms of gameplay. Everything just feels balanced, attributes, the conditions, everything. All...

I'm just seeing spinners absolutely dominate when bowling on any pitch (compared to quicks). And also the 1st innings being markedly easier than the second one for bowling, when it should be the other way around. Is there any way to get around this? Is skilling the difference, or is this just...

I am getting frequent CTDs whenever I try and download Waste's teams from the academy. Any ideas? India and Pakistan, have tried with and without logos.

Well, for what it's worth I have been bowling as both teams (I don't like batting). Everything on default, hardest difficulty. Waste's default teams, no changes. Since the last decent patch, and this current one. Eng v Aus - Green, medium RSA v Pak - Green, dry, hard. Ind v NZ - Dusty, very...

Yeah I'm really happy with the latest build. - I'd like to see the AI sweep spinners more in tests. - My usual "I wish mentalities mattered more" yarn. Now conditions need to matter more, not just visually, but have a tangible effect on these scripted AI wickets. How frequently they happen to...

Yeah, many times an hour.

AI runouts

I've had five runouts in an hour with the ball being thrown back to the keeper, the batsman being out of their ground after playing a shot, and getting run out. This is such a good build, can we sort out this run out stuff once and for all?

Cities Skylines 2 literally released half of the promised content at 20FPS because they knew that they could. And guess what, if they released a third game everyone would buy that too. The games industry is now worth far more than the movie industry, and publishers and devs all know this...

No, nothing. I've found with the latest patch I am giving away fewer wides every time I bowl a short ball. Want to see if this is the case on hard pitches too. This is the problem with all the sliders, it adds a side layer to the actual complexity that should be modelled as a result of the...

I don't like tinkering forever with the sliders, artificially changing the game. It's done to death the tweaking to cover up the flaws in the game. (Though this is a very good build). If you fill an England team with Denly, Cook, Root, it should score slower than one with Bairstow, Stokes...

I have had a few. Notably a couple of really nice pulls to short mid wicket off of short bowling. Really feels like cricket, getting bumped up

Yeah I am seeing Warner and Head go aerial a bit more, and bat slightly faster than Labuschagne. They still seem to follow a team run rate, but there can be a little divergence based on individual mentalities for sure. I would like to see Bazball be able to be recreated though. We had an Ashes...
