Issue: Latest patch has utterly messed up the leg spin bowling physics, i.e. ZERO drift causing even more ridiculous tennis ball bounce.
Bug description: Latest patch has reset leg spin drift characteristics of a fully developed all-rounder back to being worse than a brand new club level player. (I don't have a career with a developed orthodox off spinner but would kindly ask that someone who does check to see if off spinners are also affected in the same way with zero drift. (Turn remains unaffected but there's just ZERO drift at all now.)
I've tried altering the in game physics to add extra drift but this problem is so badly pronounced that I can't tweak it out. I've also lowered the height of my career player from 6' 1" to 5' 7" but this also makes no difference at all with zero drift.
Consequently, on a harder type pitch it's now 100% impossible to ever hit the stumps with anything less than a ball bowled at extra full or yorker length (standard bowling), as the ball will always bounce clean over the stumps. Obviously, this is just plain ridiculous from a full length ball from a spin bowler. Additionally, because the ball is 100% guaranteed to miss the stumps regardless, the AI batsman now play a cut shot or a hook/pull shot to approx 90,% of all deliveries they face (regardless of the line), even from full length deliveries which just makes no sense whatsoever. (Do you ever actually test for such problems at a basic level or is pushing paid updates out always a greater priority? And, you wonder why it causes such frustration too.)
I also have a SLU batting all-rounder career that so far seems to remain unaffected by the 0.1.1970 patch. However, you've certainly managed to utterly destroy LS bowling characteristics & ultimately it'll be a long term career that'll end up being abandoned because of it. (Unlikely I'll be alone there which is really going to please others with long term LS all-rounder careers too
. )
Why, why, why, O WHY do you persist in tweaking what wasn't actually broken causing such terrible problems, and at the same time ignore what REALLY needed fixing as countless users have reported under this thread? Please simply revert these bowling changes rather than making us wait months for another patch, (if there's even going to be another one now anyway).
As things stand, well done, you've just trashed leg spin in game & it's gone from being highly enjoyable literally to unplayable in an instant. I've never minded some in game grind to actually earn what I'm achieving on the default veteran settings, but to now bowl 30+ overs in a single test/first class innings & maybe get one wicket if you're lucky because of this is a complete joke.
