A first look at patch 2! [new video on page 29]

[Gamer Pradosh]

Regarding point 6, I think that would add unnecessary complexity and frustration to a bowling mechanic which already isn't easy. Side crease no balls rarely happen in real life and I think that should be reflected in the game, where we round down "rarely" to "never".

If the bowler's foot is moving outside the crease then I think it should just be seen as an insignificant animation issue, like those we see when the ball passes through a limb or there is a catch taken through the ground. These are tiny things that are only noticed on the slow motion replays.

If it's a constant thing, I think BA should look to change the animations a bit so it doesn't happen, but I'd really not be bothered either way.

Yeah its not possible for this version for sure like how hit wicket is not possible...I think I was thinking too much from cricket point of view without taking game creation limitations into consideration For that I should go out and play real cricket....

Hit wicket is not a biggie. As long as they nail AI, the game will be a blast post patch two.

 

[Acid Burn]

I can tell you this mate , facing the real top quality bowlers in this game , some of them can really get the ball to hoop big trust me its there.

 

[Westindies]

I imagine swing might be better if I shined the ball occasionally - it's just I can't be bothered waiting for the animation.

I might have time tomorrow to do a video of a smaller chase - but hopefully you all get the patch on Friday and it won't really matter.

how about PC users, you are requested to upload patch 2 videos of whatever u play

@MattW :After playing Patch#2 installed version can you share the amount of slip catches you have had??

 

[MattW]

About three? Wasn't keeping count, but it's low. There's more edges, but they all pretty much go to the keeper.

Were there moments where there was a slip catch but you didn't have one??

These sort of things happen when we play but doesn't happen to the AI..I have had couple of boundaries off thick edges...

is it because you didnt have slips like you had said before, generally how much edges pass through slip area per match?

 

[MattW]

It's negligible - certainly not something you see every match in my experience.

Maybe once or twice I've missed out on a wicket by not having a slip?

MattW: Have you played online with the Patch#2 installed version??

 

[MattW]

No.

Open challenge to all the Big Ant/HES guys who have the game btw.
