I just took a wicket via a stumping in career. I know that some people have suggested this is broken but in a 3-day club game on Hard difficulty as an off-spinner in Pakistan, I just took a perfectly respectable stumping. On PS4.

Playing Career for the first time in a while. My first one corrupted at the end of the first season and I have no confidence that this one won’t do the same! (PS4). I’m playing as a spinner and was disappointed to take a few wickets caught off the boot in my last Club 3-day game. I know others...

PS4 and always up to date with patches.

I’m on semi-assisted fielding and generally avoided overthrows (bar maybe one or two in 150 overs) in my last innings but the ball is often hitting the wicketkeeper rather than him collecting it. Sometimes a fielder stood behind him will collect it/inadvertently stop the ball. In my last innings...

This was their first innings (Batting second). I’ve had more variables in limited overs including ODIs where for example, I’ve ripped through a team but not done so in the next game… which is absolutely fine but in Tests I’ve really struggled to rip through a side (Playing on Hard/Veteran with...

Yeah, does Wicket Chance actually do what it says? I mean, if it’s set to 95 then we should easily take wickets (Or them throw their wicket away) but if it was 10 then it should be difficult. I just spent 150 overs in the field against an evenly rated team with WC set at 70! Combined with a...

Hi I understand your frustration re: the last ball smash. It was there when I started (On PS4). It tended to be the fifth ball then potentially the sixth if they missed out on the fifth. I know that it can be a bit of a faff having to select the different difficulties in different parts of the...

The yellow dots in Field Editor are most welcome. Thank you to anybody that suggested/implemented that!

I’m on PS4 and no sign of the new patch but anyway… The AI seem to have sent out a nightwatchman after losing their fifth wicket only an over or two into the final session! I only realised when I looked at the scorecard at the end of the day but they’ve promoted the scheduled number nine ahead...

I’m not going to pretend otherwise, 120 overs has generally been the norm but I’ve managed to avoid extreme lower order batting contributions (Famous last words!) even without ridding those players of any batting talent. There’s been the odd decent contribution from eight or nine but it’s been...

Well, I just made about 298 in maybe 70 overs of a Test. Everything was a lot more real. This is on base Hard with a few minor tweaks. I understand the initial shot power concerns but once you’ve played a few overs and a half decent batsman is in then it’s fine but I may up it for white ball...

Does “Timing” actually mean what it says, AI batsmen timing the ball, hitting it with the bat perfectly and therefore possibly hitting sweet boundaries off the middle or is it something else more inline with Run Rate? I’ve got custom difficulties per format with RR 20 for Tests and WC 70 across...

Just played first match (PS4) since latest patch, well, first session of a Test. I’m batting first and game is much more real. Firstly, it rained (Visibly) for first few overs but we played on. It’s cloudy with sun around and the light seems to switch between three shades which, if those clouds...

Re: Wicketkeeper In C19, I always had my WK stood up to spinners and he would catch most things, often without my input. In C22, I’ve had to put him back otherwise the ball bounces off him. I have bounce set a little lower than norm but haven’t had any edges not carry. The ball is often edged...

Re: Player Customisation Have you pushed the button that accesses the advanced options? I haven’t created players as in depth this time but think it’s a little closer to C19 than the initial simplicity of C22 options. On PS4 it’s L3 or something (Think you’re on XboX) once you’re within Beard...

Contrary to recent suggestions (And I’m not doubting anybody here) but I just played an ODI and wickets came as easily as they have done for a while. Posting 397 first up probably helped! I’m playing as custom made England (Rating 71) against Malaysia (Maybe 64 I think) on PS4. They’d been...

I guess that for a lot of users, an actual tour feels really authentic. Do you get a trophy presentation if you win a series on tour? I’m sure that I did when doing a series in previous games. You don’t get that in Play Now. I’ve seen people comment that gameplay can be different but I don’t...

First few Test matches seemed to have rain delayed starts. I had a reduced ODI as well as reduced Five5s but this was a few patches ago. I’ve seen rain in recent games but we played on through it. Can’t say I’ve ever come across it in Career but haven’t played that much.

Test match bowling is frustrating me too. AI regularly batting for in excess of 100 overs. I don’t want it easy but can’t seem to rip through them. Even with Wicket Chance high, I’m struggling. What I’m experiencing isn’t completely unreal I guess but wickets did seem to come easier on C19...

Random input from me: May be of use to someone! Hard - Wicket Chance changed from 50 to 70, Bowl Quality the same. (So they even each other out… don’t they?!) Bounce and Pitch Bounce lowered to 45. Pretty evenly rated teams but admittedly small sample size of matches. PS4. Test run rate: 20 -...
