I had the same experience initially but found it easier with practice. The key is to not give width to the batsman. For example, pitch out-swingers on middle or middle and leg, and similarly for balls going the other way. Also mix slower deliveries, yorkers and bouncers and use L1/R1 to vary...

Platform: PS4 Game Version:v0.1.0.1.0370 Game Mode: Any Match Type: Any Ground: Any Issue: Out-fielding near the boundary much worse than in DBC17 - players often don't dive to stop the ball or they pick up the ball and run outside the boundary line Bug Description (detail): I often play with...

Silly question - how does one edit skills of players in the cricket academy? I got to "Manage Squad" and clicked on a player to get their card which showed the main attributes and the various skills on the side, but tried all the buttons (this is on the PS4) and couldn't get to edit any of the...

I'm beginning to wonder if "shot power" has any impact for the AI batsman. I set it to 10 and am playing T20 vs Pro AI (bowling on easy) and its still hitting me all over the park. The AI plays what looks like a conservative push and the ball flies for 6 or screams along the ground for 4. I...

Only played T20s so far, and on Veteran AI, I haven't seen a big difference between top and lower order batsman really - both seem equally capable of smashing balls and making silly errors. I have mixed feelings about the improved AI over DBC17 - on one hand, the AI in Ashes plays a lot more...

how does confidence and stamina work in this game? In DBC17, one could press the up arrow and get the confidences and stamina of the batsmen and bowler but I can't seem to find it in Ashes. I see the red bars next to the batsman and bowler - does this signify confidence/stamina?

I meant the last ball of the innings, not the last ball of each over. Mainly, I meant the end of match situation can be treated as a special case for the AI

This is the one thing that still surprises me hasn't been fixed, after all the other improvements to the AI. I saw this happen in one of Mazd's videos as well. As a worst case naive solution which would still be better than the current behavior, the AI logic for the final over of a chase could...

Platform: PS4 Game Version:v0.1.0.1.0370 Game Mode: Casual Match Type: T20 Start Time: Any Teams used: Any Ground: Any Issue (one line description): AI batsman gets run out if I hold the ball in the outfield for a few seconds instead of throwing it back immediately Bug description (detail): This...

What "shot power" (or is it "shot force"?) setting do people use? it is the setting that controls how much the ball travels after a shot. I set it as low as 10 and the ball still flies off the bat (for both AI batsman and me) in T20s. Playing on veteran and medium batting. I don't remember the...

Finally got Ashes cricket today on the PS4 (downloaded it from the store in the US). Having bought and extensively played DBC14 and DBC17, the thing that immediately stands out about this game is the far superior AI batting shot variety. Only played a few T20s and the AI is harder to bowl to...

Platform: PS4 Game Version:v0.1.0.1.0370 Game Mode: Casual Match Type: T20 Start Time: 2pm Teams used: India vs England Ground: Gabba Issue (one line description): Set "No Rain" and yet match started with a delay and was shortened to 16 overs. Bug description (detail): This happened every time...

Yikes. This was on Pro difficulty, so hopefully it doesn't do this on Legend. Sadly, I have seen Legend AI play like this in DBC17, but all reviews/comments from beta testers so far say AI has been vastly improved in this version. If this bug still remains, I hope BigAnt fixes it

While it's good to see the AI chase the big total in the video above, it's still making weird decisions - e.g. when than the reqd RR was less than 2, it was still hitting lofted shots and lost a few unnecessary wickets. Can't be perfect I suppose ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Though, hopefully, once the bug of...

Looking at mazd94's uploaded T20 video from this thread: https://www.planetcricket.org/forums/threads/ashes-cricket-media-thread-post-new-screenshots-video-only.109163/page-5 Overall, looks great - I noticed a lot more shot variety from the AI batsman compared to DBC17. The main issue with AI...

Is it possible to put up a video of the AI chasing in the last 5 overs or so of a T20 match? Would love to see AI improvements in the shorter format. Thanks!

How is the AI in shorter formats? Has the chasing AI been improved to take into account the match situation, especially towards the end of the match? Or do we still have the AI batsman defend the last ball with 3 runs needed to win :)

Have there been any comments from the devs on improvements to the AI from DBC 17? Especially improvements to AI chasing

Increasing the judgement to 90 does make the AI harder to get out and they get more mileage for their shots. The only problem is their inability to consider the match situation, which manifests in weird/sad results -- e.g. the AI will need 10 runs to win in the last over, hit a six off the first...

Sadly, this was a false alarm when it came to chasing. AI was as thick as ever in spite of the judgment attribute. It seems batting style (conservative, precise, balanced, aggressive, brute) predominated judgement and took no regard of the match situation. Oh well. Still upping the judgment...
