Ashes Cricket General Discussion

[Kass D]

Mate I couldn’t give a rats arse what some random bloke on a forum thinks of me. Being part of the Ashes beta isn’t something I’d go bragging about.

However... I have had the pleasure of touring the world playing cricket.. and seam movement like that funnily enough exists.

However I do care about getting a decent cricket game out to all the guys here.

You don’t help.

Right back at you. And i maybe just a random bloke here but i have also played first class cricker including national A team cricket for my country. So i dont dish out random things about cricket my self. So whatever dude . Lets just let this one go

.

This is genuinely the whole motivation, it really is! We get super excited in the beta thread When a new build shapes up to be a killer and there are plenty of good folks who appreciate that: I would love for everyone to be playing it now but that isnt our call.[DOUBLEPOST=1520533685][/DOUBLEPOST]

However this is a cricket game on a console or pc.....

Tell that to Philander..That seam movement has Philander written all over it for me...

A cutter might go that far on a dry wicket but i respectfully disagree. Of my 15yrs of playing first class cricket, have never seen that much seam movement in a early days of a firstclass game

The spinners lean on their stock ball and the other balls are much more sparse....there is deffo a lot that could be deepened in terms of subtle variations in mentalities and weaknesses and strengths but to be fair the attributes are now working and we have been concentrating on batting: perhaps we need to go off and test some of the bowling attributes....I think there is more scope for the amount of spin to have different effects....the ball seems to spin off at the same angle .......some more variation in that would be good. But listen, facing Lyons on a dusty track is incredibly immersive at the mo

In the short term, it'd at least be nice to see something that allows certain deliveries to be made out of bounds for spin bowlers by setting an attribute low or at zero so they are programmed to never bowl it or bowl it very rarely (I'm thinking the doosra for a lot of off spinners).

Yup doosra for spinners and the wrong un for leg spinners or left arm orthodox. Currently leg spinners and left arm spinners turn majority of their deliveries in to a right hander when it should be the other way round.

Can we get bowled often when batting due to.the new batting mechanism?

 

[chaman82]

The ideal timing while Batting is changed, as in its now when the ball is pitching ( which is great)

So how does the hardest to the easiest level now play,
In the current build, hardest needs super early timing.
Also the lofted attacking shots needs early timing or they are same as ground Shots?

Regarding batting also would like to know are there miss hits edges when ball is not hitting the middle of the bat?

Really excited and satisfied that's Batting has been reworked like this.
Eagerly waiting to play the updated game.

Thats way too much seam

As long as it's not how every ball moves it's not at all. In the right conditions seam can be extravagant, but it's varied and all about position of the ball on a specific part of the pitch - it might go a bit, might go a lot, might go straight.

That's why being able to play late is so important.

@Ashy1985's comment is a classic example of posting something without consideration of content or purpose. It adds nothing to the conversation but serves only to antagonise some people or galvanise others to continue to post the banal and the pointless. This is a public forum (albeit with moderated membership) but that does not mean that everyone has the right to post whatever drifts across their mind. I wish people would just think before they post and consider the tone and purpose of what they write. If it isn't helping others on the forum, whether those others are also posting or just reading, then don't post it. That doesn't mean that you can only post fawning praise but what you post needs to bear some evidence of critical thinking...and should strive to be of interest to others rather than just a statement of some groundless, solipsistic opinion.

However, as I said in my earlier post, I would hope that the majority of people on this forum simply ignore such fatuous posts rather than see them as reflective of the community at large. They should not be allowed to bring things to a shuddering halt...they should be ignored...which is what I normally choose to do.

You sound like you need a break.

@KassD Quite frankly, nobody in the beta posts anything for YOUR FLAWED OFTEN BIASED feedback. We post things here so people are aware that things are moving forward. I am sure both @WealeyH and @Dutch would agree with me.

What new batting mechanism?

What’s so so good now,is that you actually feel like you have been beaten by the bowler.

Not just pressed the wrong button.

You can play later for sure, I’m not sure it’s at a point where it’s late enough to adjust to extreme movement buuuut it’s weirdly satisfying sitting there missing it and thinking bowled son, done me all ends up!

This times 1000!! You sit on your chair breathing out and nodding your head in respect to the bowler![DOUBLEPOST=1520540293][/DOUBLEPOST]

Yeah indeed: to have every single ball type as an attribute would be cool.

 

[Wealey]

Personally I love the extra seam movement.. it’s a game. It needs to be slightly exaggerated!

Cricket 04 used to go miles haha! Anyone remember that!

Morne Morkel on a green pitch....with my reputation, are they mad....typical Vince.......
