Yeah i only seem to get the leave animation maybe it just aims the leave for you ? I don't know... I have done the heli shot but barely get it off the square

for helicopter i use only left button and push right stick forward and it works. For pad, press left stick and move it in a direction, holding right trigger (defensive trigger)

Nope right now unless im missing something very obvious you have to be a quick time Nazi to get any amount of spin input!

I liked the earlier spin system very much! Even though it was a bit easy was hoping for conditions skills attribs to even it out and vary it for bowlers, rather than hardness through controls!

Which difficulty are you set to? The system is the same for the two easiest difficulties as previous build and has been made harder from pro upto legend. The key thing is to keep the rotation smooth, you can do as many rotations as you want as long as you finish in the same place you started spinning.

We may have made the later difficulties too hard, we can bring them back a bit if people find it impossible.

But what is the window of time in which you should complete the full rotation on the higher difficulties? Really difficult to figure out the correlation between green input and timing at the moment.

Yea hold the block button and dont press A until you are ready to pad away if A is your leave button

The colours are the smoothness/consistency of your rotations, but you're also trying to have a complete circle at the time you release.

Haven't had any trouble, 1 fast rotation as late as possible. Hard to get used to but that's good!

Hello guys. I am having trouble downloading the latest update. It says 'Missing content manifest.' What could be the problem?

Edit: Spent some time on Steam forums and for some reason, changing the download region to Vietnam worked. WIll try to record and share some videos.

It's perfect, really.

The whole point is to make you work for it, i guess. Otherwise anyone could master it quickly and just kills the challenge altogether,.

Even though I struggled for a minute there, it looks realistic enough that the batsman may play for the spin just to get bowled with a straighter one!!!

That's realistic enough considering not every ball spins in real life.

That being said, 5:05-5:13 is a dream!

At first in legend but then i dropped down to pro but still found it really hard think only once in many tries hit green and a few times in yellow zone but most deliveries a weak spin! Also the point of having to rotate one and push another simultaneously feels a bit too QTE and throws me off being able to concentrate on the other aspects of the bowling like direction etc!

To me the amount of revs being departed should vary for bowlers based on skill and amount of spin depending on the skill of the bowler wrt conditions!

Simply a spin bowler should never struggle to depart revs on the ball, which is what the current controls are doing!

It should be challenge of who can out fox the batsman, very length speed flight, field tactic, not a challenge of who can rotate LS fast enough.

The colours are the smoothness/consistency of your rotations, but you're also trying to have a complete circle at the time you release.

Find the new way really hard to do, its very hard to make smooth revs when your competing against time and trying to push the RS in green zone as well!

Before this was able to bowl without looking at the bowling assists, now i have to keep starring at it full time!

Another thing with spin is that with the previous settings I was controlling the RPM with rotating slowly or halfway to vary it surely felt really great..Not at all a fan now of bowling spin now..The reason for repeating is I got frustrated more than challenging..

Try to move the left stick towards mid-off or mid-on and press the leave button for padding. For the Helicopter shot try to move the right stick towards the Long-on region.

Padding away was easy with LS as leave so keep defense trigger pressed LAS in direction of ball and press L3

Helicopter shot you need to play straight both foot and shot using unorthodox trigger.. Another really easy shot
