My favourite is when two players chase (very rare) one taps it back and the other watches as the first one takes 20 seconds to pick up the ball and throw it back...

wrt the leg glance - I think what most people are saying is that it's a marked improvement to pre-patch where you would nail it in the air out to the superman fielder on the boundary. You are right though, it does travel uppishly to around the edge of the circle. Couple of thoughts - 1) I...

Yep, agreed. In my opinion, bowling a normal delivery should only result in variation of ~5 or 6kph in a single over. The upper limit of speed could drop over by over to account for fatigue. Eg: first 2 overs 145-151kph; 3rd over 140-146kph; 4th over 135-141kph etc... With faster and...

I think a big part of the problem is that the game equates a poorly played straight drive = played uppishly but still straight to the bowler. In reality most straight drives are "poorly played", missing the middle of the bat so either goes off the inside or outside half of the bat and runs...

No reviews in P40 so they've been removed.

Were those catches off you or by you? Because if they were taken by you while bowling then you would appear to be in a very very very small minority. Especially first slip given the Keeper always seems to come across him

Is it wrong that I have an urge to just tell people to buy a PS3 :P Anyway - Dear Mr AI Captain, You are not Alastair Cook. You do not need to follow the ball after literally every delivery, especially in first class cricket. My playing a defensive shot does not mean you need to immediately...

I've mentioned it before but I feel the massive variance in pace between a "good" delivery and a "poor" one penalises the batsman more than the bowler. I would have it so that a poor ball results in the bowler spraying it (greater sensitivity in line and length) than a change in pace. For...

The reaction time and lack of fear of the in close fielders is ridiculous. I've had occasions where I've absolutely nailed a drive, flick or sweep that has flown to the boundary. Watching the replay, the close in fielder is diving ful stretch to try and catch the ball instead of ducking and...

Played my first online game a five5 - what a miserable experience. Opponent was using Pakistan. I batted first and he proceeded to bowl 5 overs of spin at the slowest possible pace at a "full" length although the ball usually landed on a length... Unenjoyable and unpleasant as I scraped my way...

To be honest (assuming you are playing test matches against test nations) that seems like a pretty good range of scores from the AI. Sure it'd be nice to have the occasional collapse or the AI run up a massive score on a flat deck; but if the worst thing that's happening is that the AI's...

Delivey selection LAS down, length selection circle (short pitched) I find that getting the LAS rotation correct is also important even though you're not trying to turn the ball. I don't use the bowling assists though so that part could just be mental. ---------- Personally have never...

Don't really play career just tours and competitions so I tend to use a wide variety of different bowlers. Find that I get most of my caught behind dismissals with spinners (cos the edges actually carry!) and I think the edge frequency is about right. It would be nice to have more variety...

A couple of other small annoyances I've been noticing: 1. The way the AI seems to be able to play a sort of late cut to full balls on middle stump over the head of 1st and 2nd slip; sometimes for 6. I thought it might be one of those animation/physics not synching issues but for the life of...

Agreed, bowling in a t20 against pakistan on a crumbly pitch Ball 1 - tossed up outside off batsman charges and smokes for 6 Ball 2 - same delivery, batsman tries to play from the crease through cover and misses Ball 3 - short, arm ball (flat and quick), batsman goes the charge, no where...

Did the ball definitely carry to the keeper. (In my opinion) the bounce and/or keeper positioning is a bit off in this game and i find most of my edges get to the keeper just on the half volley...

In my custom team I've got a player at max height and one at minimum height. I finder the taller player can play more deliveries (even short pitch ones) quite comfortably off the front foot while the shorter player can play cuts and pulls to even fuller good length deliveries... So to...

Is that still true post Patch 2? Haven't really played career with the new patch, been having too much fun playing tours and competitions. Edit: I refer to the part about bowling being much easier to skill up

Sorry to quote myself by just wanted to add 1 more thing to the batting controls. I'd like for the RAS input to be analogue and determine power with the more power you put into it the further it goes. I think this'd give you more control than using the left and right triggers (especially as...

Not really a bug but more of an anomoly. Playing England in a t20 I had them 5/110 off 17 overs chasing ~160. So 50 off 3 overs which is tough but not impossible in a t20 especially with 5 wickets in hand. The batsman were Jos Butler and Moeen Ali and fo some reason the AI made no effort to...
