I have officially given up batting for now. I just don't have the time to get used to the late pitch marker. Can't believe I have to tinker around with Custom sliders again to make like the way it was before. Thank god Ross is not an admin here or else I would be banned just like I got blocked...

We can blame Ross & Co as much as we want as they deserve it completely especially for breaking things which were working. But it is also a fact that in SM the number of people asking for cosmetic changes is far greater than people who are actually clamoring for fixing the game breaking bugs. I...

I'm already playing domestic cricket in my Career. So all the updated lineups etc will not reflect in my career right?

Since the last patch, I am finding it very difficult to bowl AI out within reasonable score during their 2nd innings (Veteran, Default Sliders). It is just like C22 where anything between 350-450 was the norm during AI's 2nd innings irrespective of the condition. Bowling to AI is a joy in 1st...

The cut scenes for the DRS sequence are still missing. It goes straight to Hawk Eye and doesn't show the preceding sequences. Thought it would be fixed by now.

Wow! The pitch deterioration does work!! Day 3 Green Pitch with light cracks. First ball pitches on a dry spot on the pitch, jags away, batsman only managed to nick it to 2nd slip.

User India (wasteyouryouth), AI default Aus and Eng. After every new patch I play with these teams on Green/Medium pitch (Veteran) to ascertain the effects, intended or unintended.

I need to play few more test matches to come to a solid conclusion, but it does feel that bowling with Seamers has again been nerfed. I was getting loads of play and misses, realistic close calls and dismissals on Green pitches on the previous patch. However, in the last 3 matches that I played...

No need to be sorry.. we all are looking for the same thing. All default sliders on Veteran difficulty except physics. For physics, I have only changed 'Spinner Drift' to 25 in order to make them less effective against AI, the rest physics sliders are on default settings.

True. It is absolutely maddening for me that I have to keep my patience and bowl to a no.11 as if I am bowling to a top-order batsman. When the game was launched, I remember getting the tail out was quite easy compared to previous games. But after all these patches, somehow the tail-enders once...

LBW is difficult to get but certainly possible with good setup. What I have learnt from my bowling in this game is that it takes at least 4-5 deliveries to setup a batsman. Sometimes it might take 12-15 deliveries spread over few overs to get them setup for a certain type of dismissals. Try to...

Yeah it is happening after you make a manual appeal. First it goes to the countdown screen. Then the camera pans to some random part of the stadium and stays like that for around 15-20 seconds. Then it pans back to the bowler. But now the non-striker is on strike not the striker. Another strange...

Quick observations after 25 overs bowling in a test match between IND & AUS (Green/Medium/Veteran): Extremely rewarding bowling and realistic dismissals. Pinned down Khwaja with tight lines, got him caught behind trying to play lofted cover drive after scoring 11 of 45 deliveries. Bowled short...

Dynamic camera is quite good. But it zooms in too much just before the bowler releases the ball. I hope they adjust the zoom or at least allow players to choose how much to zoom in,

Patch seems promising. The bowling feels more rewarding as in increase in frequency of close calls and wickets if you bowl tightly. Fielding is much improved although there are occasions when the fielder didn't move or started to move after the ball passed them. So fine tuning is required. But...

I've had only one in 3 test matches all played on Green pitch. Most importantly the play and miss have mostly gone out of the window. No matter how tight I bowl the AI always plsys the ball comfortably untill they get out. When the game came out one thing I enjoyed very much was bowling. That...

First it was load a save when AI runs themselves out. Now, load a save when the WK comes forward and take catches right off the bat.

One thing is for sure, that this roll-back patch is not the patch we had. Biggest thing is AI again has started to lose wickets in a cluster against the spinners. I have tried three different pitches and every single time they lost 5-6 wickets in 10-12 overs. Before these 2 patches, on green and...

Can someone please check and confirm if the spin amount has been reduced again? I played couple of games after the new roll-back patch and it seems the spinners are getting a lot less turn compared to what we had recently.

Not sure. I think the best option was something like 'Update Only When The Game Is Launched' or something like that. So I believe you will not be able to play the game without updating.
