    Same deal. I wanted to finish the legends so that I can unlock the stadium.

    How to play Straight Drive?

    Have you applied the patch? Before the patch, bowler seemed to catch everything for me but after the patch, it was not so. However, note that you can set the angle before the ball is bowled and do not have to hold that angle when playing the shot. So first press straight down (If you are playing...

    Oh. I guess I didn't know that. My understanding was that field restrictions apply during power play which means the same restrictions as the first 10 overs. Thanks for letting me know. :):hpraise

    Ashes Cricket 2009 bugs thread

    Fielding Bug Hi, I am pretty satisfied with the fixes after applying the patch. However, one bug I noticed in the game. I have attached a screenshot here. The opponent chose their powerplay and I am bowling here. Look at the field setting. I have 3 fielders out of the circle. I was able to...

    How to play Straight Drive?

    Thanks for the update. I am enjoying playing this game. Quite challenging when playing in very hard. I do however find it annoying that the computer seems to be able to hit sweepshots and leg glances for six and four even when I pitch the ball away from the off stump. :mad: Apparently footwork...

    How to play Straight Drive?

    Tried that too. The baller pitches it right in front of the off stump and it is an inswinger that swings slightly so it always knocks off and/or middle stump. :(

    How to play Straight Drive?

    Yes. Every time. I tried it many ways. First ball. After hitting a few boundaries. After hammering him for 5 balls for sixes. No luck. :(

    How to play Straight Drive?

    Thanks. I didn't know I can set the angle in advance and play the shot only. I was trying to do the angle and the shot simultaneously and that was why I was having trouble. I have passed that stage now. Stuck at Taking Guard lesson where I must leave an inswinger. Every ball bowled in that...

    Bowling Bug

    Hi, I have been playing the game after installing the patch and all I can say is WOW. The changes are very obvious and batting is pretty hard now. Until now in Codemasters' cricket games, I have been playing the game easily because the timing was easy for me. After the patch, the timing has to...

    How to play Straight Drive?

    Hi, Installed the patches and I have been playing and this is one shot I just can't seem to play. Everytime I try, it either goes to the bowler or hits the non-striker. Or sometimes it goes to the fielder. I am trying to do the Legendary Batting skills and I am stuck in the attacking one...

    Bowling Bug

    Actually it seems legit cause I tried reinstalling and after reinstall, the patches got installed. I guess something must have got corrupted or something last time. Going 2 try playing it now. Hope it will be better.

    Bowling Bug

    I thought I did. I bought it off Amazon marketplace. Let me reinstall and see. If that doesn't work, I'm going 2 ask for moneyback. plague added 1 Minutes and 56 Seconds later... Just so its clear, I did use Tutsi's Gameplay Patch. But that only overwrote User.Dat so I didn't consider that as...

    How to play Straight Drive?

    How can I do that? I pressed 'S' key and played the shot (Ctrl+Down Arrow). Any other way?

    Bowling Bug

    Has the difficulty of scoring boundaries and sixes increased by this patch? I got bored of getting boundaries of every shot I played. :( Also, another curious question. I like the new stamina and confidence feature in this game. But shouldn't the stamina go down after many overs? Ponting scored...

    How to play Straight Drive?

    Hi, I seriously have trouble playing straight drive pass the bowler. I was in Legends Batting Training when I keep trying to play passed the bowler but I either hit it straight to catch by the bowler or he fields it. I can't hit it passed him unless I slog it. Any suggestions on how to...

    Is it safe to install that? Would that mess my game since it is not final version?

    I haven't installed any patches yet. Have a final version of the patch been released yet or are they still in experimental level?
