Ashes Cricket General Discussion

Okay, so shot attributes don't matter at all.

but how do BA get away with all this? Third iteration now!?

By getting Maxwell to wear Mo Cap Suit and make video of him playing switch hits etc , but Ross Always Swears it is the most authentic Cricket experience everrr with the exception of ball passing through the bat occasionally.

...and not being able to see the ball properly in most cam settings but especially broadcast.

here's the video of the AI dismissals from the innings i mentioned earlier.

Hi,

can you please let me know the ground name you are playing on ?
also i heard earlier that there is an issue that all the logos will be deleted if we play on created grounds. is that not causing any issue to you ? I am playing only on on-disc grounds because of this issue. Can you please let me know how we can play on created grounds without getting logos deleted ?

Hi mate. It's wanderers.

Ive got an issue with the ground in that for some reason in this match the crowd sound has disappeared. Also at one end there are a load of trees and the game stutters on ps4 at that end. If you download that ground I'd recommend deleting some trees before playing in it.

I've not had any issue of logos disappearing.

I should say however before starting this tour I deleted all data including teams and logos. I then downloaded only these 2 teams (their logos and stadiums etc. were part of the download.

I don't mean to be overly dramatic, as it is only a cricket game after all, but how do BA get away with all this? Third iteration now!?

I can understand that they don't matter given that you don't play shots, you choose the direction you want the ball to go and the AI best interprets that into a shot. For the most part it works. I could live without the prod shots but they only happen when I play on the front foot and at 45 degrees to fullish balls. I don't know if the shot types have absolutely no influence but it doesn't seem like it's a big one. From what I can tell it's Footwork and Control that are most important. I'm still not 100% sure how much impact judgement has.

If the shot types are completely irrelevant then keeping them there must be either cosmetic or a con.

I think the shot type stats should dictate how well you can play swinging/seaming deliveries or even just good/perfect balls. For instance if the AI is bowling good/perfect the balls outside off and you are continually trying to cover drive it maybe the shot type slider could directly describe your chance of middling the ball, so if say Steve smith has 98 drive ability, he has a 98% chance of middling it where as a jimmy Anderson with 7 drive ability has a 7% chance of middling it. If you don't get the percentage swing then you edge it or play and miss

 

[Sweppy12]

Adding on to this the ball quality should effect these percentages, so a good ball directly reflects the batsmens percentage, an OK ball raises that percentage by 15%, a bad ball raises it by 30% and maybe a perfect ball drops the percentage by 20%

They seem pointless so I'd sooner just get rid rather than repurpose.

I'd sooner see something more creative like clearly defined individual Strengths, Weaknesses, Preferences. Strengths that provide a boost to confidence, judgment, control in match - weaknesses the opposite. Kind of the same principle as your suggestion.

I think Jimmy might fancy he has a higher than 7% chance of middling a drive.

You know players that appear to have eye shadow - is it usually blonde players? I changed the skin tone of some players I noticed suffering from it and their eyelashes match the eyebrows, so it could be a colour clash of eyebrows against skin tone.

I have seen that almost for all skin tones.

@MattW @BigAntStudios When hitting the ball straight to the infielder and if the slow-motion field stop shows up the... fielder cannot throw the ball immediately because the ball throwing meter doesn't work. It's always a guaranteed easy single. Please fix this. Thanks.

I'm on ps4,just checked the credits tab in the game and I'm playing version v0.1.0.1.0407 is that the latest version of the game and if not how do I update it?

Well I’m really not sure what to say here. I batted through to the last session on day 2, thought that should be alright and I could bowl Australia out here. No.
It became a painful exercise where no matter what I threw at them, no wickets came off. I did drop a could of catches but they because super efficient. As soon as their confidence went green I was out of luck. They batted until 20 overs on the 4th day when the game was over anyway.
The pitch was pretty lifeless as it was a hard dusty one but not sure it it was my bowling too. I’d always mix length, in and out swing and mix up spin as well.
I only hope I can have a match in the third test rather than a bore fest.
Confidence certainly is an issue as Cummings and Starc got over 60 in their innings. They went green and were smashing it everywhere. I had them around 3.6rr but they’d always go for a hit as many experienced

Which attributes should I lower to get more bowled and LBW? (Not the prod bowled, but a genuine beating of the bat).. I normally play on veteran, hard bowling

I would suggest footwork and judgement. Lowering attacking and defensive skills may also contribute. Lowered control may contribute to an increase number of edges.
