Ross Symonds responded to my question on pitch behaviour changing as day progresses on twitter. He said, "The pitch will wear and change over time, winning the toss can be very important."

Yes.

Yes. They bowl bouncers on leg. I made more than 50 percent runs on leg side

Agree on this. Scoring is easy on leg side on yesterday's patch.

What are the swing changes mentioned in the patch?

Strange. I played on ps4 - Ashes mode on latest patch. One side of the ball loses shine a bit, the logo goes off the ball around 20 overs. After that it remains same till 80 overs. Not a single ball is simulated. Please let me know what kind of tournament you played and on which platform.

Visually and also behaviour is same. The ball visually wears if you simulate few overs.

I wish Bigant would have thought about the ball variations based on type(red,white,pink) and pitch condition and pitch degradation. Would have been so much fun to see odd seam, bounce movements. The game becomes monotonous in a test match.

Does the ball look older if you do not simulate at all? In the last patch, the ball was getting older if you simulate the overs.

About ball wearing: 1. 1st 10 overs you can see logo on both sides of the ball. 2. 10-20 overs the logo fades out on one side. Shine on both sides. 3. 30-40 overs the logo nearly disappeared on one side. Shine still intact on both sides. 4. In progress... Notes: I haven't simulated a single...

Did the ball wear without simulation?

Without simulating

Did you SIM any overs? I did not get any rough side ever without sim. So are you saying we need to keep shining the ball frequently?

I second this. Whenever you SIM the game the ball wears but not when you are actually playing. Not sure if the detiorated ball has any affect on gameplay.

I played a casual match to check ball detioration. I simulated 50 overs to check and the ball was swinging less a bit I feel. Can someone confirm please. Spinning was nearly same from New ball to old ball from day 1 to day 5. So I will play 5 casual Eng vs Aus matches instead of competition just...

I had logged issues on ball and pitch degradation affecting the physics of the game with support@bigant and I got a reply. The issues: The reply: I am hoping they resolve something in the next patch!

After patch 1.11, it seems the ball and pitch deterioration does not take place in competition and Ashes. As per the discussions I am planing to pause the Ashes and start India-Westindies in casual mode and check if the wearing ball and pitch has any affect on game play. I really feel this...

Is the ball getting older and affecting swing,spin etc on new patch?

This is exactly I am requesting bigant since 14. Pitch degradation should affect the ball which adds realistic nature to the game. Odd bounce, seam movement and spin on cracks is needed. Also older ball should seam less, rubbing ball should maintain shine.

Please explain how cracks on the pitch affects the ball?
