Have you played around with where your keeper is stood? In previous games I had my keeper stood up but played a Test on 22 and two chances just bounced off him. I moved him back and the catching circle comes up and I catch them. Obviously there’s the possibility that the chance doesn’t carry but…

Hi guys On my fifth BA cricket game and Test matches in this one have finally made me play around with Custom Difficulties. I’ve been reading the sliders thread and appreciate that this info is probably staring me in the face but… I started a Test using my custom difficulty and have since...

Hi guys Long time player of all BA cricket games here but this one has finally made me need to tinker with sliders! I’m part way through taking in a few things from the specific Slider thread but can I just clarify: Is timing actually the timing of the shot, bat on ball? It’s just that...

Just wondered if anybody has any New Year’s resolutions? Mine’s to avoid the follow-on against Qatar!

I’ve always been very reluctant to tinker with this sort of thing. Expect game out of box to function properly. Want game to be as authentic as possible without ‘fixing’ result etc. Have lowered bounce of my spinners and am checking what particular stadiums pitch should really be like though...

Well, I’ve just dismissed Qatar for 394 in Dubai! Parkinson (6-149), Leach (2-95). They won the toss. I’ve already adjusted each spin bowler’s bounce because I get annoyed at full deliveries going over the stumps. In this instance it’s a Hard/Dusty pitch so I was often bowling yorker length...

Yes, many of us are having these problems. We’ve been reporting it to Big Ant on their support page. Mine crashes at the start of the second season. Some people are finding work arounds but you say that yours crashes approaching international selection. I’ve had issues with Career Mode in...

Hi Since the latest patch, have any PS4 users had any success progressing into the second season of Career or is it still a case or crashes and corrupt files? Many thanks

Just lost a T10 as my custom made England against Denmark… but fought back to win a thriller in a match that confirmed this game can be bloody enjoyable! Ignored Gower this time and batted first. Salt out reverse sweeping first ball and were 26-6 and 47-7 but Benny Howell (31*) and debutante...

I’m enjoying the game despite obvious flaws and love Competition Designer. Thanks for raising a ticket re: the line-up situation. I definitely consider not being able to edit your own line-up in a competition important!

For me, my main frustrations during my first Test were (When batting) the slowness of the non-striker setting off and (When bowling) the consistency of the opposition scoring a boundary off the fifth ball of the over, sometimes sixth, though that’s not to say that I didn’t bowl some maidens and...

I’m playing an absolute humdinger of a match in my first Test (Against Uganda!) but the game just crashed for the first time in a while as Chris Woakes went for an involuntary wander after I aborted a run! Thanks Big Ant… saved me there! Another 40 to get, chasing 240 at Headingley with...

No, it was prior to today’s patch, one or maybe two patches ago now. Crashed and corrupted when I attempted to play my first game of season two. Not the only one to have that happen I think. I’m on PS4. Don’t know if all this Improved Career Stability means that I can go further in future. Was...

I haven’t tried but this is the sort of thing that we expect now isn’t it? This is why with anything in these games, I don’t rush in but experiment whilst allowing things to get fixed. That said, I started a Career knowing it would crash… and it did! Hopefully they quickly address things like...

Competition and Tour Designer… Yesss!!!!!!

I had a batsman get hit by the ball thrown from the fielder. For some reason he then strolled out his crease and got run out. This was during a collapse similar to what you mention but I like to think that I bowled some good deliveries. They did play one crap shot though… maybe just the...

The opposing side definitely score a high proportion of boundaries but it doesn’t always seem to be due to aggressiveness. The size of the grounds just feel small and weird to me compared with previous games, although maybe it’s to do with the pace of the ball. I’m only just playing my first...

Hi Do you mind me asking, has it been a case of every time the opposition (CPU/AI) chase down the target, 600, 700… no exceptions? What about if they bat first, have you found the game/match more balanced? Have you just been playing Ashes? I’ve historically enjoyed the twists and turns of...

Finally got around to playing a Test match yesterday. Touching upon things that others have commented, the opposition run rate was about 3.57, something like 168 off 49 overs. I wouldn’t necessarily say that this was due to over attacking, it’s just that the innings did tend to be four or...

PS4 patch includes “Improved post wicket frame rate issues”. I’m sure that’ll be a relief to everyone, as oppose to saving/exiting then going back in after you take a wicket!
