    making bowling more difficult?

    Okay, I was being unnecessarily harsh and in hindsight, quite silly. This is because the game just got much more competitive by increasing the opposing batsman's "judgment" attribute (the way to make bowling much harder is to make AI batting much easier - d'oh). So that may be the sweet spot of...

    making bowling more difficult?

    [Couldn't find the answer on the forums so apologize if I didn't search thoroughly] (fyi, I'm playing on the PS4 with patch 4) I've set the bowling difficulty to "hardest" and dropped the value of the first two parameters (don't recall their names - they are to do with ideal window size) to...

    Thinking of getting DBC17 after playing DBC 14 and loving everything except the AI. I've followed the patch developments and patch 4 seems to have fixed a lot of the core gameplay issues A few questions: 1. Are there any major differences between the Xbox-One and PS4 version? 2. (Lame question...

    Designing an AI Engine for Cricket

    Thanks for the feedback; digressions notwithstanding A few clarifications: 1. It isn't my intention to develop a full fledged cricket game. The last few lines in my blog post which mention the integration into a graphical engine was me being somewhat wishful, as I simply don't have the time to...

    Designing an AI Engine for Cricket

    I have the 2012 iOS version and found the AI to be on the whole pretty good. However, the big issue I noticed was in end of match situations. In a couple of T20 matches, it came down to the last over when the AI needed >12 runs to win and it didn't bat smartly losing both. In one of them, where...

    Designing an AI Engine for Cricket

    I don't know what AI engine ICC is based on (commercial game companies don't publicize their AI for obvious reasons). IIRC, the version I played a few years back had the same AI issues as in other games - the batsmen not playing according to the match situation; no dynamic bowling changes...

    Designing an AI Engine for Cricket

    Integrating the AI into a graphical engine shouldn't really be that difficult, my issue is that I haven't written a 2/3D game in a while (disclaimer: I am no game dev; as a kid my favorite hobby was writing video games but they were all in Visual Basic and quite simple - Tetris etc). I do have a...

    Designing an AI Engine for Cricket

    I've been a big fan of BigAnt due to the dedication they've shown to the community and the quality of DBC 14. My only nit in the game is the AI which doesn't play rationally at times. Since I have a background in the field, I decided to write an AI engine for cricket based on a Monte Carlo...
