:laughKing Pietersen said:Currently experiencing the Best.Bug.Ever, i just finished a game on live and went back to my test match, so i could finish it, and low and behold, all the names of the players are correct. The names of both the batsmen and bowlers are all correct, it may be a sneaky way around licensing by Codies, or a bug but it pwns
Just getting a screenie now, will be from my phone though, so not the best quality :P

YES, it is definetly worth buying, i am loving it, annoyingly though the bug had removed itself now, was fun whilst it lasted.
Very annoying bug with the custom teams. You can only play with them in 'balanced mode'. Which means that all the players ratings are changed to some default team set of ratings, and you can only play against teams with this same stupid set. Its difficult to explain, but if you try it out, you will see what I mean. I'm on the PS2 version.
OK here's what I've found so far on the PC version that hopefully hasn't already been posted ....
Controls : The manual has no mention of methods of Control other than the Keyboard/Mouse combo. Once in game and selecting your team, I can see icons to use my other control devices. Of course this means you are going to have to guess what all the buttons do. Linked to this is the practice mode, There is no selection of controls that you wish to use for this. I found that I could only use my X52 HOTAS Joystick to perform the training.
So, in 'Team Select' I have Keyboard/Mouse combo for P1, a PS2-style Game Controller for P2 and a HOTAS Joystick for P3. Once in Practice Mode, it defaults to the P3 controls ........
'Click Through' : So, it's the end of an over and you are clicking through the replays & Hawk-eye graphics. Ooops, you've clicked to go through the last of these and what .... the 'Select New Bowler' screen has come up and unbeknownst to you your last click also decided you were going to continue with the same bowler. Want to change your bowler? Well be very careful about clicking any button once the last ball in an over has been deivered. The same goes for the batsmen. A man is out and you click because you don't want to watch the cut-scenes of one man going back to the Pavilion. Ah, well that's automatically sent the next man in the order in. Want to change your batting order? Again, be careful with clicking.
Difficulty : The game is new and I haven't played a great deal so this may not be wholly true, but it is certainly my feeling. Increasing the difficulty level seems to make 1 difference only. You have less time to get your mouse click in. It doesn't seem to make the CPU bowl better lines. Play the game on Slog level and you get around 600 in 50 overs and you can bowl out your opposition for 20.
Save Games : In a 50-Over match? Want to save mid-match? Well I haven't found a way to do this. You choose the game and then you have to play it all the way through.
There's other things too, but after one solid evening of play the ones I've posted really annoy me. Don't get me started about spinners opening the bowling and Fielding AI....
Disappointed. Hopefully a patch and mods can help the PC version, but if you have a console version and it suffers from the same issues you have my sympathy.

i know the click through problem was prevalent in the demo as well. i stopped this by pressing 2 (equivalent of left-click on the mouse) to skip through the cut-scenes, and this stopped any problems i had with bowlers or batters being automatically chosen.

Bit of an odd one. Yesterday I loaded the PC version onto my mates computer and at one end there was a delay from you pressing a button, to that action being carried out in the game, yet at the other end it was fine. I've now loaded it onto my computer (now that I have a dvd-rom ) and it's exactly the same, although not quite as noticeable as my computer runs it better than my mates.

It's not actually possible to win the exhibition trophies. I've been awarded the Test and the Twenty Twenty one but they don't appear in the trophy cabinet.
Not really a bug, but quite funny. I was playing an online match when I threw at the stumps and ran out the opposition batsmen. However, all 3 stumps came out of the ground as if they were stuck together, and went flying about 10 yards!
I'd call this a bug.
Umpires are useless at calling wides in Online Play. I had Gassy bowling about 9 foot outside off stump and 7 foot outside legstump, the commentators going 'great bowling' and the umpires letting it pass! (Note: Distances may be slightly exaggerated).
