Anyone got any tips in a test batting for a lengthy period, Im really struggling on pro level. My biggest problem is getting caught LBW, even when I try playing defensive to anything straight I seem to get problems against the decent bowlers.
My perception is that lbws are primarily the result of variable pace, which is difficult to read from the first 10% or 15% of a delivery on a computer screen. If the cpu threw slower ball yorkers all the time I think I might be in trouble. I haven't had too much of a problem defending, though, as the timing window is more generous. I'm always out playing around my front leg.
Most frustrating dismissals are when a) batsman seems to attempt a leave at a ball thats plum
you mean when you accidentally hit RS3?
b) batsman moves across wicket to play a defensive shot instead of just staying put, thus leaving wicket open to be bowled.
I presume some of this is my fault with the sticks but at times it doesnt feel Ive done anything different to the same shot ive played 3 times before in that over.
Yeah I've been looking into this for a while, haven't found a way to stop it happening and I think it's something that needs fixing, because it's just not something that happens in real cricket unless the blind school is playing.
I can't record a stream with a controller feedback graphic on my ageing pc though so it's difficult to be sure whether its a genuine bug or just punishing a slight mistake too severely.
I thought it might be a mismatch between my concept of how the LS works and how it really works : my instinct was that if I wanted to move my batsman slightly right or left from his current position, I'd give the LS a little nudge left or right, but I think the LS might work on absolute position relative to the centre of the crease.
So lets say I'm batting on leg stump (and whilst I'm on the subject, pro cam needs a way of taking guard so I don't have to switch cameras all the time to check) to open up the offside against a spinner, and he drops it onto off stump. If I nudge the LS to take me from leg to off stick, maybe the game is still mapping this to a central position so instead of inputting a slight movement towards off my guy steps well outside off stick and gets bowled.
The thing is it's still happening even after I decided to stick with a middle stump guard to try and avoid it, and it happens with him stepping leg side sometimes and I never take guard on off stick.
It's seriously irritating, whatever the cause.
. Not every one want to do pointless guess work in batting and turn to helmet cam for fielding placements. Some people want to just have fun from a game. i can guarantee if ashes cricket 2009 is re-released with improved graphics, improved player physics, and more pace in fast bowling with a bit increased difficulty, it would beat the hell out of this Cricket looking crappy un playable piece of junk.
