In latest patch PC , AI not even cross 150 of Target on legend , AI need to give human a challenge take quick runs ÀI batting and chasing need improvements

T20 AI batting on the current console build is pretty challenging. Altering skills also gives good varied scores.

Are you on pc or console l? I think AI smashing is fixed in current pc patch and console users are yet to get it.
And regarding your batting, i would suggest you to reduce the difficulty until you get adjusted to new timing.
Still there are few isuues with lofted straight drives but apart from that you can hit sixers towards fine leg, square leg, square drive and few towards cover drive. So you will be atleast able to score more runs than 60 once you get adjusted to new timing.
Also some nerfed shot issues on console are already fixed in pc patch.

That is good to hear. I play on Pro Medium Medium and do not think going lower should be a good option. And yes I play on X1. Good to hear that this has been fixed. I am not saying make it easy, I am saying make it a tad little balanced.

One thing I have done is lower battig skills. Max at 70 and minimum 55. Average AI score is around 160 now. T20s that is.

I'm enjoying the game post patch. It's got me batting again and I hated batting previously. Need some time to try out various slider configs and what skill level I need to play on so as to get some well balanced matches. The only downer is, try as I may, I can't play a pukka back foot glance off the hip down to fine leg area.

I have gotten a few but the length and line for which that shot is played instead of hook is very narrow.May be have it play exclusively when using precise button or something would help i guess.

Good point there. IMO Certains shots should only be alligned to specific buttons.
For example, Precise button-Nudges, glances, flicks etc.
Aggressive button- Drives and grounded pull, hooks and cut etc
Lofted button - Lofted hook, aggressive cut shots, lofted cover drives.

Most of them are at the moment, but few over-lapping and few not alligned. Similarly the cut shots does get triggered even for pitched up deliveries.

and it is impossible to scoop the ball over keeper's head

Hi, i m console and sometimes when i play shots in particular direction during batting, the system will automatically plays its own shot. For example i try to play pull or hook but system plays backfoot straight drive and the ball goes towards straight drive. This doesnt trigger always but only sometimes. I am getting out sometimes because of this. does anyone know which modifier in batting modifier effects this automatic shots so that i will try to increase that modifer and see if it stops happening.

Note: I didnt have this issue before april patch.

@WealeyH
Hi, i use to play batting with your modifiers befire april patch and i never had this issue. Since you have good idea on modifiers, can you please help me on this question?

It happened for me as well.. Im on PS4.. Getting wrong shots.. when playing towards legside it plays to offside.. this occassionally happens for me

Do you play with modifiers ON or OFF because someone told that some wierd things happen with modifiers ON?

Are you talking about sweep and paddle sweeps?

First i noticed when i played local co-op matches.. now ocassionally its happening for single player matches as well..

The main incorrect shot I get is sometimes when trying to play a cut (Which to be fair is almost impossible in this game.) the ball goes to extra-cover, or mid-off. I HAVE been able to play an actual cut shot (ie. to point region) maybe 1/20 short balls outside off, mostly though it's simply a complete miss regardless of timing/length/width, and probably 3/4's of what I am actually able to hit, go to mid-off...

It could just be me, so I would be very interested to hear if any others are able to play actual cut shots in the game at the moment. (Front foot square drives work perfectly, it's only back-foot towards point that either end up being a back foot drive with no placement, or the above examples..)


I'm just getting really sick of seeing a perfect cut shot animation, but me being either NOWHERE near the ball, or timing and middling it.... Only for the ball to trickle to mid-off..

The only other shot that gets all tweaked up is when I try to scoop (Almost always a mis-aimed sweep tbh....) and the ball somehow gets smoked through backward point, but I don't really give a shit about that seeing as the scoop is not a shot I deliberately play anyways. It's just strange aiming a shot through fine-leg, and the animation playing for a leg-side scoop.... then getting a boundary through point?

Cut shot is fixed in current PC build.

Prefer batting with batting sliders off, the timing window can scrue up a few shots with them on.
Also the only false shot I experienced was a nudge while playing drives through the point area. IMO it's fair considering it only happens if it's an inswinger around off stump, shouldn't be able drive through point for that line with impunity

When will the England kits change?
