Batting and Bowling Nets now available in the Cricket Academy

[cricket_online]

The spin video gave me an idea. How about different pitches in nets? Maybe for the demo the astro pitch can stay the same but we can have the option of differing pitch effects.
In game it would be good to have differing pitch types in the nets particularly if outdoor nets becomes a playable feature rather than just a graphic like at Bradman Oval.
Adding to this you could have different facilities at the different grounds. Major teams would have both indoor and outdoor facilities with various pitch types etc, whereas a club may only have one net or have to practice on the square/outfield.
In career, your nets practice can take place at your club and/or your opponents if away.
Pitches should at least represent the major characteristics of the region they reside in. So what's regarded as a Bunsen in England, may be normal to India for instance.

That would be quite useful as you can hit the nets and nail the line & length you need to bowl on various pitches depending on the bounce and movement you get. Also, in the game you should have the ability to select the player you want in the 'Nets' or 'Match Practice' so you can practice with an actual player you will use in matches and not some random generic player as it is in DBC 14.

Yes and maybe in game you could have your team/squad mates bowl or bat at you in career, or have the option to select the bowler you face rather than the machine.
Machines are good for drills practice or working on certain things because the give coaches the 100% accuracy that human bowlers cant. Thus increasing the intensity of good practice while lessening the time needed.
having a live opponent is much better and much easier to pick up than bowling machines. In DB14 I definitely found nets harder than match practice or games.

No disrespect to you but this is the most asked and answered question after the meaning of life.

The ball marker cannot be produced because we do not have advance knowledge of when the ball will leave the hand. We do not bowl to a mark, we bowl based on the inputs.

This will be the last time I answer the question, ever.

I apologize for my stupid question. I misunderstood the statement. If the bowling is similar to DBC 14 then no issues there.

Yeah this is a cool idea. It gives the player a good idea of how a pitch would play. A batsman can understand the shots he needs to play and a bowler would know the line and length he would be most effective with.

Please include HUD off option in next update..

 

[Westindies]

Yes, all cameras have been tweaked.

No. There is no marker, never will be, it is not possible. @Westindies is mistaking the bowling target for a marker.

yeah westindies is not on target these days..lol

when you played a wrong footed shot to a particular delivery (for eg backfoot cover drive to yorker) instead of completely missing the ball in a weird looking way there should separate animation played , the batsmen should still be missing the ball but in a aesthetically correct way leaving the impression of real cricket.

 

[Westindies]

Broadcast Cam in nets does not work for all sorts of good reasons.

There is no marker in the nets or the full game.

It would appear that you haven't played the nets yet? (or at least haven't bowled on *target*)

thank god, we are away from those era where we need markers to bowl , we dont need them anymore...Ross the boss and BA studios making sure that we are not taking a step back after taking more steps forward

 

[FollowOn]

Same logic should be applied to the wrong shots played to a different line (for eg , leg glance to the ball pitched outside offstump)

Cant everybody just let BA themselves decide what they feel is the right path? We have some very very needy people here......

Pretty sure I read somewhere in this thread that broadcast camera wouldn't work in the nets. Doubt that will be happening

You can blame Big Ant for that. We are all spoilt brats now

 

[asprin]

Yep - or a full toss in some cases

Does this also mean that the "beamer" will come into picture (not at will though)?
