Bitter that I couldn't participate, didn't know where about in Melbourne...

Hehe, it was only alioz and myself, he only played for about an hour on xbox, but everything seemed fine. It'll undergo thorough QA thus week.

Hey Guys,

I did some testing on xbox 360 version of patch at Tranmission Games. Although i havent played the patched pc version so i cant do any comparison between pc version and console version, but i could see all the things talked about in this forum are available in console. Overall it feels like a good game now. Bowling is good with more yellow areas. I liked the edges aswell. i didnt see too much power to lofted shots. bowling speed are good now. Bowler really bowls fast now. I did not play online so wont be able to tell much about that but i could see star rating and ping being available on console.

I must add from my personal experience that people at TG are keen to provide us with a good game. They are working very hard, i mean they are working on sunday as well. This game is not going to be perfect for everyone, but its a pretty good game now. So thumbs up from me.

One more thing happened which i dont know if its new or was already in the game but i never noticed before is that i had an edge when i was playing a pull shot to a bouncer and the ball went over the wicket keeper and nearly went to the boundry. I really enjoyed it as it was very realistic.

Sometimes when the bowlers leg hits the non-strikers stump the bowler refuses to run in the next delivery and the game is just stuck there with the batsman waiting. This has happened to me online over 20 times. Has anyone experience this issue with the beta patches in online play?

 

[Giggs11]

99% sure that this has been sorted on and offline

It has happened to me few times but not lately (I am on Xbox 360). I think it happens when one player pauses the game after an over is finished for a break.

Will there be any more testing? :P

No, it happens when you bowl close to the wickets when coming over the wicket. If you come wide of the crease it does not happen. The game freezes maybe 1 out of 5 times when it happens but its ridiculously annoying.

im pretty sure it is gonna get sent of now and slowly get turned into patch. Pretty sure testing is over now.
