Bowling AI

[zimrahil]

Now that people can play the demo with unlimited overs, and chase large totals, can anybody answer the following questions


-Does the cpu still bowl a large proportion of bouncers, yorkers or is it more line and length now?

-What are the cpu bowing changes like - are there any (appreciate its only the demo at end of ODI so maybe cannot give accurate answer to this one)

-Does CPU bowl around the wicket

-Does CPU alter fields to suit the situation. E.g smash 3 fours to third man, does a fielder get placed there

-Default fields - are they still laughable or not ?


Thanks

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think we can play the demo with unlimited time facing anyone other than Andy Symonds, so hard to tell..

Well for the last 3 overs of a one day international id say they dont bow enough yorkers. Sometimes they will bowl a few in one over, sometimes they dont. You can still smash yorkers around however, at least when a symonds is yorking you.

-What are the cpu bowing changes like - are there any (appreciate its only the demo at end of ODI so maybe cannot give accurate answer to this one)

Only 2 bowlers have bowled in the three overs, symonds and clarke, so cannot tell. And with the patch only Symonds bowls.

-Does CPU bowl around the wicket

Not as yet, although again due to only one type of bowler to right handed batsmen its hard to tell.

-Does CPU alter fields to suit the situation. E.g smash 3 fours to third man, does a fielder get placed there

From what i have seen, yes!

-Default fields - are they still laughable or not ?

Cant tell, there is one field and most men are stopping boundry's.


Thanks

Hope this helps

Getting someone else to bowl is certainly the current project.

By the time you figure out all this stuff the game will already be released

So thats not the point squiz they are tryin to make patches for the demo to help people wether to buy the game or not.

 

[barmyarmy]

I'm not going to buy the game. I'm just going to expand the demo...

my apologies - didn't realise only 1 bowler was used.

Thanks gas for answering
