Ashes Cricket General Discussion

Like I dont think that possible mate a lot of coding would have to be done

You think it's an unreasonable expectation to have the AI to attempt to chase down their target in a cricket game?

Uh no mate bit of common sense her[DOUBLEPOST=1519297357][/DOUBLEPOST]I think it would take a lot of work

Here sorry

I'm not sure we're even disagreeing. With the approach I'm suggesting a weaker player will bowl more bad balls even on easier difficulties.

On the current live build the AI only really respects good bowling some of the time, if they need to they can hit boundaries whenever they please. On the build @WealeyH is talking about it appears they maybe respect good bowling a bit too much. Which is why I asked what the difficulty was to see if bowling more bad balls led to increased run-rate. Unless he's a bowling god it seems this is not the case.

The build is tweaked to eliminate the smash etc. The AI in current build are still too slow but playing shots. However keep hitting the fielders. So ideally I’d like them to find the gaps more often and rotate the strike

And to add to that, I have been nicking the ball all over the place...

Oh no you didn't... that was supposed to be our secret.

It shouldnt matter which bowling level you play at to be fair; the ai should play in a certain way appropriate to the match format and match situation. Timing windows is the only thing that should increase/decrease with the different difficulties and the ai’s ability to counter what you chuck at them, that is what is being striven for.

If I as a user find amateur my level then I deserve an authentic experience just like the person playing on legend.

What should make a huge difference is Milton Keynes against Australia, whatever the user difficulty.[DOUBLEPOST=1519293118][/DOUBLEPOST]Another aspect being worked on is human batting: how to tweak things so that you can play the ball as it pitches rather than out of the bowlers hand, and have a reasonable risk/reward equation. Again this needs to be reflected differently in different formats and with different mentalities and skills.

Interesting developments for human batting.

I have the following settings which allow me to play as the bowl pitches and as late as possible.

Easiest level
Modifier on for easiest Batting
Shot timing 0
All 3 other batting modifier 100

Shot force 45

Pro cam
All hud off

All 11 batsman set to precise with 0 attack skill and strength less than 30
.
Also the timing is dependent on the ball speed which is another important area to b looked at.

Interesting that this is being looked at. Personally, turning off the aerial marker and using the pitch marker was the best thing I did. I'm now required to judge the length instead of being told by the colour what to do for footwork. After three games the aerial marker and colour coding has sufficiently trained my brain. Since I did that, the biggest issues have been the AI bowling (this has improved since I went to hardest, tweaked some modifiers and played with custom teams where the bowlers have better accuracy), the poor field settings. When the AI happens upon a decent field it can be tough. It's opened a lot more shots too, in the sense that I'm more inclined to wait for the ball. Equally that brings greater risk or playing and missing.

By that time enjoy the game as it is.
Play wwe18

Wwe2k18 has way more bugs than this game does. But 2k abandons wwe games as soon as the last dlc has released. At least Big Ant releases patches without dlc. x

Okay, let's just get some clarity here...

But I still stand by main point.

By this I am gonna assume you mean either...

More insults then...

OR

I just don't like the teasing that exists on this forum. Especially towards those speaking in second languages that are trying to find out information on future of the game.

And in those you were referring to my initial post...

Some times what you are is embedded in your username somewhere.

When I was replying to...

These beta testers are so ...... wonderful. Thats the world i was looking for, i promise (fingers crossed)

Which I am assuming could be considered an insult through some sort of insinuation, and in which he was replying to both @Dutch and I committing to testing online for @Acid Burn

So please explain to me how @Kass D and his post could be misunderstood because it is his second language or how he was even trying to get information.
And I considered his post light banter and I hit back without even getting offended.

Or even more simple, the amount of crap that DJ spouts the constant mocking of the beta team and BA and the continuous mocking of other people’s comments and twisting them to his own crap.

Forum or in a public place, you would tell the guy to shut up.

It’s a two way street. I’m happy to converse and discuss the game and the testing with people who are willing to do the same.

Talk utter crap and expect crap back.

Anyone who thinks he’s not intentionally trying to stir shit then well......

I never noticed, but I guess you could say that...

 

[Acid Burn]

Hence I have placed him on the Ignore List approx. 1 Month ago already .

Makes for some confusing reading in these forums , when you dont see the "Stirring" mails , but then only see the replies on that

Eventually someone would Quote him , and then the light would sort of go on for me.

My main point was that some with information on the future the game enjoy being extremely coy. If you don't want to/can't reveal any info then don't tease info. But I do get there are some insufferable characters on here. No need to be so defensive.
