some really good comments, Nightprowler....

id like some more info. on the fast bowler thing...what looks wierd about the action?

Also, i'd like to get other people's opinions on the speed of the ball after being struck...personally i think it's fair, but maybe could be slowed down a little...id like to hear from everyone to get an idea of people's thinking on the topic...remember that it is variable as well, depending on how much power you put into it etc. also fast bowlers get hit with more pace on the ball so of course are quick off the bat than spinners...

but this is the kind of good constructive crit that can help me to really improve the game, so good stuff...

Finally, regarding the bowler model, it's actually exactly the same (base) model as the batsman, just different textures and animations...so im not really sure why it may look any different?

regards,

LM

i found the release from the fast bowler to be a bit strange..Can u just check on it ?

 

[ziad123_2005]

the release of the fast bowler was a bit odd to me ... it wasnt "normal" ...

as for the speed of the ball across the outfield, ill have to watch video 4 again...can't remember exactly...but i think i agree to some extent...the speed could probably be reduced a bit...the good news is that it's a very simple variable to change...i.e. 2 minute job...the hard part is finding the right balance. The other thing is that the pace is variable too...based on the power bar, the batsman's stats, and the 'chaos' factor...so the same shot wont always go that fast...i have seen shots hit with that much power before...but yeah, certainly not every time....

i dont want to get things mixed up, but isnt the speed of the ball going to vary on the outfield depending on the ground ? or are you going to keep a constant speed for every outfield ?

I never noticed the fast bowler. That usually means theres nothing wrong

Hey paul
great work man. Just one request.

Please pm me the bat template. I know JK has made them , but i am doing future planning. See, i make bats for other games, and i'll side by side convert these bats for this game, so when the game is released, mine would be the first patch to come.

I love the spinners action, really smooth. The fast bowler's action isn't bad, he looks a little laboured in his run-up. Apart from that everything seems great. Oh, will there be different paces in outfields?

yeah, i agree...the fast bowler runup needs to definately be improved ....

yes, outfields will have different pace, also affected by weather conditions too (as well as field's normal pace reputation)

thanks, Rabble..i think your opinions are pretty much spot on most of the time

Thanks, guys, great feedback..

@Nightprowler - cheers, this is really good stuff, i do appreciate it...you explained it much better this time...

yes, the bulge in the back is evident in both models, but seems more exaggerated depending on the animation..not sure how this can be fixed, but i will look into it...

fast bowler's runup can and should be fixed to be faster, i totally agree with you on that one...

as for the speed of the ball across the outfield, ill have to watch video 4 again...can't remember exactly...but i think i agree to some extent...the speed could probably be reduced a bit...the good news is that it's a very simple variable to change...i.e. 2 minute job...the hard part is finding the right balance.

I've never seen anybody take criticism with such delight Good on you.
