Stats are not perfect for sure. User Stats are broken so I'm not surprised that incorrect stats are showing up here and there.

TBH I haven't seen a massive change in line & length from previous iterations but there are a couple of issues which do need to be looked at... 1. Fast bowlers bowl a bunch of short deliveries and quite often they go for 5 wides or 4 byes. This needs to be reined in as once in a blue moon it's...

Totally agree with you on the varying level of power for various shots. In this iteration square drives fly to the boundary. In earlier iterations of the game leg glances/flicks used to race to the boundary while others didn't. It would be great that for a particular timing, all the shots (in...

The bowling is very similar to Ashes/DBC 17 and not like DBC 14. IMO the biggest improvement in this iteration has been on the batting side of things and addition of Scenario mode. Plus you have more customization options and more variety in edges.

Is it online of offline? I've played offline for a while and haven't edged anything with 3 greens (Good/Ideal). Most of my dismissals are the result of poor footwork and/or timing.

Yup could be anything. I raised it during the DBC 14 days but it didn't go anywhere, but yeah inability to bowl a no-ball with a spinner is a fundamental gap in the game.

Are you asking for a Manager/Coach mode where you manage the team and the squad and provide instructions to the team on how to play, i.e. bat aggressively/moderately/defensively etc.? I.e. something similar to Cricket Coach or Cricket Manager? If yes, you already have such cricket management...

I say BA nailed it. Maybe if the game was washed out in its entirety, it would've been more accurate.

A known issue which is more of a design choice - an incorrect one IMO. Spinners do bowl no-balls in real life, may be not as frequently as fast bowlers, but it's quite a common occurrence nevertheless. I think spinners bowling no-balls should be built in to the game and could be triggered if you...

I think he's the same bloke with a different user name. He/She's passionate about side spin and things not traveling in a straight line for sure :p

Most probably you have a second controller turned on. Try restarting the game after removing the additional controller. Or create a profile for the 2nd user (controller).

We used to have Dean Jones :D

Sure seems so. Try playing a match at Kia Oval and you will see the difference. No idea how the outfield speed is determined and would love to know that.

I wish there was a way to see the outfield speed of the stadium you are about to play in, or be able to select outfield speed the same way you select Pitch type, conditions or outfield pattern (Diamond, Striped etc.) when you set up a match. Played a match at Kia Oval today and the outfield was...

IMO three things would help make AI extremely competitive... 1. Running aggressively and taking 1s and 2s on offer. 2. As you mentioned, batting better against spinners. AI bats very conservatively against spinners and edges quite a lot as well going for that cover/square drive shot. AI needs to...

I've seen quite a few shots go in the air even when I get Good or Ideal timing. In fact yesterday I nailed a full toss with Ideal feedback for all 3 (footwork, timing and shot choice) and was caught by the bowler. It went off like a bullet off the bat and should've been a 4 but the fast bowler...

You can always alter the slider setting for the same. The default slider setting for playing late is set to 100 and you can try changing it to 80 or lower instead of tweaking the Max Speed setting (pace increase).

I'm on PS4 and the straight drives are played in the air. Lot of caught and bowled dismissals when I try to play straight.

Ironically in the odis the AI often puts fields with only 2 men on the boundary even though you could be 180/2 and scoring at will. The logic to select the right AI fields, and field sets in general, is something that needs work. It's better than Ashes Cricket but still needs a lot of improvement.

Fielding and field sets have consistently been problematic areas for Big Ant. Either the fielders are supermen on speed (DBC 14) and cover too much ground or they veer towards the other end of the spectrum where every shot gets you a run irrespective of where you hit and to whom you hit. The...
