    Ashes Cricket General Discussion

    to be fair bro upon release fifa 18 was a bit of a mess as they patched it twice in the first week or so but i never buy it until december as it gives time for the big gameplay patches to come into effect

    Ashes Cricket General Discussion

    well i think most who follow the sliders on OS will agree it makes a massive difference.The sliders,combined with gameplay setting tweaks such as changing game speed eliminate certain animation problems etc that fifa has.I think the easiest way for anyone to test is to play a match on default...

    Ashes Cricket General Discussion

    im also a member of the os forum and tbh the current fifa 18 community slider settings have remained the same for months.yes there are times when tweaks are needed but not every update involves major gameplay changes therefore no action needed.And you certainly dont need to start a new career...

    Defensive Shot Flys For Four

    im seeing catches taken at point/cover and square leg/midwicket occasionally but it has been a long time since i saw a catch further out than that.yesterday i had an instance where the ball was inches away from the fielder but the catching mini game never showed and i missed the chance.i prefer...

    Defensive Shot Flys For Four

    yeah i also think there remains an issue with outfield catches as the ball always seems to land just short or beyond the nearest fielder.yh i bet you wish warney was still there,would probably still give batsmen nightmares!One thing i will say is having a fielder in place for the bat/pad is very...

    im currently playing on a soft,crumbly pitch ind v pak and i almost always bowl a short,cross seam delivery last ball of the over just outside offstump and have had many times when the batsmen struggle with it,left handers in particular have either edged,gloved or whacked it onto their pads for...

    Pitch Characteristics

    cant say 100 percent for sure but im more inclined to think that overhead conditions and the state of the ball are what effects movement/spin.i find that different bowlers make the ball behave differently.for example,i have ishant sharma and mo shami bowling and sharma is getting a lot of...

    Bowling tips

    i use the top spinner primarily to prevent a boundary last ball of the over but now and again the batsmen will simply not read it an play and miss giving the chance of a catch/stumpinganyone have any views as to whether its better to bowl spin at a full length or good on a soft pitch? ok just...

    Bowling tips

    try and bowl straight with perfect timing.i find it tougher to set fields for spinners so that part is crucial.when bowling spin i always bowl a good length top spinner last ball of the over as it often causes batsmen problems

    Bowling tips

    ive just tried finding a post where it was said that using a short,cross-seam delivery is more effective than a bouncer but cant find it anywhere.anyway that is a great little tip as batsmen quite often struggle to play.im sure it works bbetter on a hard surface but im playing on a soft pitch...
