If you are able to bat by having enough time to determine line & length and play a shot accordingly, you will enjoy yourself. The 2 sec (or maybe 1 sec) delay won't hamper your enjoyment much. Given the choice between pre-meditating most of the shots and playing with no pre-meditation but with bowling inputs provided a sec or so earlier, I would opt for the second option every day of the week. Batting should be all about judging line & length and reacting accordingly, and not pre-meditating your shot and watching the result unfold.
You do realize im also saying the same thing, yes you do need a bit of extra time to make judgment with quicks but it should be something to take the premeditation out of question, instead of adding more blatant delay which will again be variable for everyone, make it something integral part of gameplay that's what im saying, instead of bringing bowling down to improve batting or add delay that's makes the game feel not responsive atleast for people who can pick it, do something that becomes part of the game.
#next_iteration
Slowing time, or adding delay,
Which is what ross is planing to do for this iteration atleast for pc i think,
Except if you are going to slow time, you might as well reduce all the Pace bowlers to medium pacers in the roster and play it, wont make much difference.
you have to feel the pace...
1. You don't get all the info as you would if you were batting in real life. It will always be a 2D picture you will see on the screen with no depth perception.
Exactly which is why i believe time is not the main enemy here, while it does add a lot to the panic.
Right now for batting you select footwork and then execute, whereas in bowling you select how well its going to be executed and then length at the last moment whereas in real life it will be different, you will chose the length first in the jump and then the how well it goes depends on the execution.
So pulling back stick for length and forward push hurling the ball with variable pace etc would be the most natural way to go forward.
It will also aid in giving the information that split second before without delaying or slowing the game which i feel is important.
Also it will give the time to actually play with how early or late the hud assist appears depending on batsman, form, his ability to pick etc so that you will be able to play and feel as different individuals in different conditions, than just your style of play whether its SRT or Agar whether its a road or minefield.
go to this site and test your reaction times. Human Benchmark - Reaction Time Test my average was 275ms
nice one, average around 220-230 with muscle memory, 240 while thing, 213 while premeditating
