Very good patch friend keep the good work going

 

[ZoraxDoom]

I still have the complaint about the straight drive by CPU. It should be straighter. i am a pretty good bowler and playing on medium but I give away about 8 an over due to these drives going like a rocket through midwicket or covers.
A very good patch. The AI plays sensibly and avoid losing thier wickets. Have only played a few overs(8 or 9 continuing from a match I started with your old patch) Threscothic had a 50 but a beutiful yorker got him bowled by Agarkar. This was magic as I bowled this before but he played it. This time with a slight change of pace he was bowled. Well done!

hi boss....well u said somewhere that u have edited the autoplay feature so that even if we autoplay cpu's batting, the total score scored is good.

can u tell us as how u have edited the autoplay? so that we could do the same.

 

[Eddie]

Played a 50 over game.

Aus(CPU) V Eng (me)

Normal pitch, sunny, warm.

HARD MODE

Aus 87 all out (26overs)

3 caught mid off
3 caught in covers
2 caught slip
1 bowled
1 runout

All catches in the outfield were from backfoot "6-hit" shots.

**Other observations**

1. Perfectly timed Backfoot cover drive 6-hit alway gets caught in covers.

2. Perfectly timed Backfoot on-drive - straight to mod-off .

3. Perfectly timed Straight drive 6-hit landed inside the fielding ring.

4. Advance on-drive to a ball bowled outside off-stump by a sla bowler, end result was a stumping...

5. Some shots have "super power".

6. Most problems are caused by your "edited" fields (IMHO). I bowled all the overs using the OPEN 1 field. The CPU could not penetrate the fielders in the ring. Only scoring shots were down the 3rd man & fine leg. Fielders are too deep to penetrate, but too close risk a single.

ENG 88-1 in 14 overs..

batting was really easy..

"BatWindowIdealSize = 5.0"

Thats very high, for hard mode, i usually play with 1.0 or 1.5. A setting as high as that is usually used on easy?

Did you upload the correct cfg file?

Will play a test match tomorrow and see how that works out.

thank u very much mate!!!

I still have the complaint about the straight drive by CPU

by zorax

hi zorax, as i played in Hard Level i don't see st.drives are not going as str as u talking abt, anyhow go at that tonight and may tell u a remedy!!!

A very good patch

by zorax

Thanx again Zorax...

hi boss....well u said somewhere that u have edited the autoplay feature so that even if we autoplay cpu's batting, the total score scored is good.

can u tell us as how u have edited the autoplay? so that we could do the same.

by tutsi

Hi tutsi, nice to see u!. main factors that affects Autoplay features are: CpuReward, CpuRandom, CpuDifficulty and CpuRequest. u may play around with these values to get the correct balance for autoplay.

All catches in the outfield were from backfoot "6-hit" shots.

by Eddie

That will be corrected, but i don't think all will get results like that, i even get 20-30 rows back hit "6" by a b/f cover hit, and a 3rd floor hit b/f on-drive.

Advance on-drive to a ball bowled outside off-stump by a sla bowler, end result was a stumping...

by eddie

I can't do anything abt it coz still that stroke file is not found !(btw all advance strokes other than adv.st.drive is yet to found). I think someone do favour in this reg!!!.

That is also not happened to me!, u may see a Australia's Gillie's Pie-chart in this thread and have a idea!

batting was really easy..

"BatWindowIdealSize = 5.0"

Thats very high, for hard mode

by eddie

mate!!!, if i do some thing abt this parameter then, i have to reduce ball seam/spin more coz it really affects both cpu and our batting. Anyhow if u wish u may figure it around "3.0" for tests and "4.0" for Odis.

Did you upload the correct cfg file?

by eddie

Yes. I did!!! LoL:-}

Will play a test match tomorrow and see how that works out

by eddie

thanx 4 u'r match review today and expect tomorrow's test match rev is well!!!

No! What I meant was that it isn't going straight enough. I like to Pitch the ball up and seam it to get LBWs or Edges but the same ball races through midwicket or covers of a straight drive. The direction is good, but it should go slower the wider the ball goes.

 

[barmyarmy]

Ok, I've had another go batting and still have a complaint about the cover driving. Not enough variation. Both back foot and front foot were going straight to cover point when the fielder was in place. There were also a few instances of 3 fielders outside the circle during the first 15 overs (presumeably due to the AI covering the last shot).
Apart from that I really enjoyed playing with it. Liked especially the back foot and front foot power drives.

 

[indiancricketer]

ok i played a 50 over match with austrila v.s india(me) and i bolwed aus out for 95 n there bolwing was really terribele they just played the back foot ---> shot and they all got out and all the tailenders bolwed and lbw why is this ? batting is very easy when lower score when a higher score more enjoyable in this patch and bolwing is very fun... i played on the dusty pitch which joe made and it was the best took 5 wickets with kumble

good work boss

The cover drives go everywhere against me, down to third man or through mid off!

by BarmyArmy

hi BA, i put enough direction area for cover drives(both FF,BF), if i increase more, then there will be weird (some funny!!-eg: the coverdrive might go str pass the stump like that) shots have to play!!!

by BA

you'r spot on mate!!!, still i don't know what to do with this ?

thanx BA!!!, Happy gaming!!!

bolwing is very fun... i played on the dusty pitch which joe made and it was the best took 5 wickets with kumble

good work boss

by shake12

Thanx shake_12!!!, still i need to tweak few strokes to get the correct composition all types of pitches

Friends!, i'm planning on CoolGamePlayPatch-Version:2, i need more comm/fb/rev before that, need u'r support... Thanx in adv...

[ZoraxDoom]

I think u gave leggies too much power:
When u played Tendulkar picked up 2 of the 4 wickets to fall.....

A final match in Lords- India vs. England in a knockout played by me resulted to 4 wickets for Tendulkar(User- India), but Harbhajan went for 55 of 5.5 and wicketless.....

[Skater]

Hi all, despite I said I wasn't going to download it, I've found that CGP is the best AI patch ever made for Cricket 2004! Since I got UEFA Champions League 2004-2005 I haven't played on Cricket 2004 but when I did play it looked smooth, and every match I played was tight. Almost as tight as the England v South Africa One-Dayers. Great work, boss. :hpraise :hpraise

You should do this for Brian Lara International Cricket 2005- released June 31, 2005.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

You know....I have been criticizing your patch all this while. Time to give credit where credit is due:
A great patch. The directions of all the strokes are great and its good to see batsmen taking advantage of the field restrictions in the first fifteen and trying to hit out or improvise when being bogged down. Their field placements are sharp, keeping catchers in area's where I edge it or hit the ball into the air a lot. The bowling is good, and I am playing on medium. My RR would have been somewhere between 3 and 5 if it wasn't for the wides they bowl. A really good patch. Great work! :hpraise :cheer

 

[indiancricketer]

wow man wow :drinks I love this patch man.... when the other team gets out i laugh at them because it is veryy funny lol... dis is more enjoyable than tutsi's. i have only played odi so i will see bout test is this a test match ai patch 2?
