Cricket 19 General Discussion

I have been mentioning this issue regarding Host nations not hosting tournaments when selecting this many times hopefully its implemented in a upcoming patch. I agree it ruins the immersion of the game. @BigAntStudios @MattW please can this be fixed

I have posted this issue in the bugs thread. I will always update if its still not fixed when a new patch arrives.

Cant say I'm proud of this one

I asked because I noticed you posting a number of videos with complaints regarding the Online Modes.

Now you need to understand that the Online Modes in this game are implemented using Peer to Peer(P2P) Networking mechanism. The Online Gaming Industry has moved to a Server/Client architecture because in P2P there is no Centralised Server to store Game States, hence, the Whole Data Packets containing Game states need to be sent to all participants. In transit depending on the Internet Connection of the participants Data may get lost or corrupted due to Standard High Ping or Packet Loss. P2P is infamous for such problems because even under the most ideal conditions and best of implementations P2P networks in gaming still struggle.

So what you're seeing in your Online Matches is expected behaviour mostly. With corrupt or Missing Data packets the game behaves in a weird manner. Previous games had 4s signalled as 6s and many more issues even in the best of conditions. Same is the case with this game.

Unless, Big Ant move to a Client/Server architecture, please do not expect too much of Online matches. If you bought the game only for Online Gameplay you should have known about the choice of networking used in previous games and stayed away from it.

So you are effectively confirming the notion, that Online will have to make peace with the fact that weird stuff is in order, because Bigantstudios refuses to implement Server Based Gaming.

I only play Online, and can confirm that alot of the weirdness is down to Connection on the night, but not all of it can be attributed to that.

Online needs some attention to detail in my Opinion, regarding why its happening.

ugh - not that tweaking catch animation again!! I thought we'd got rid of that in ashes.

it's insane that animation - representing something that has never been used to take a catch on any cricket field, ever, is used over an actual diving catch which would look awesome. and worse - there is a really suitable dive animation in the game too, but 99.94% of the time they use that abomination instead.

i love this game but BA love to take runny shits all over their best work

I have only played 3 x 10 Over matches, and will unfortunately only be able to fully test the Game in about Two weeks from now, hence my silence on Online Issues.

But what I immediately picked up, was that we have the same scenario as in DBC17 , where the Ball Trajectory is very high on aerial shots , and same with some ground shots.

There are alot of other similarities to the 17 Engine, but I unfortunately dont have the Time now to elaborate fully.

One of them is the stunted Leg Side Flick shot that just stops, and then the ball magically flies to the boundary , vs a bigger follow through required for Lofted Shot.

Anyways, see you guys last week of June !!

I always had a feel that there is no proper diving forward catch animation in BA games.

But this is really out of ordinary catch, needs to be looked into.

The Diving forward Catch animation has allways been there , its a real beauty , but for some weird reason basically gets triggered once or twice in a whole year of playing the Game....

I've had a drinks break while batting where they don't have their helmets on. Doesn't show the 'taking off the helmet' though.

Okay, thanks for the responses guys. Come to think of it yeah, I’ve definitely seen plenty of examples of helmets off including in club in England but in my career in SA at club level, might have been the opposition, they kept helmets on at least once and I just thought you’d struggle to actually drink it through the grill.

I was thinking about how BA could improve the AI against spin in ODIs. I absolutely love batting and pace bowling but currently I'm a little frustrated with ODI's as it's too easy to slow the scoring rate imo - I've tried messing with the sliders and changing the difficulties but it's still very rare to have economies over 4 with spinners.

• Bring back more power to the sweep shot. I'm not saying a return to ashes level of almost guaranteed boundary on every AI sweep but currently the power is mostly a pathetic dribble to the off side. Perhaps it's power should be treated the same as aggressive ground shots? It's also strange because in first class/test the sweep is an effective shot for the AI.
• The AI needs to be smarter at hitting gaps - they hit mid wicket and cover too often and don't rotate the strike enough.
• Improve hitting down the ground - usually there would be either mid-off or mid-on up. A good timing shot should clear these for a relatively easy boundary (obviously a little bit of risk would be required.)

Any other thoughts would be appreciated!

also is it possible to display on the HUD when a powerplay is in use with the little [P] symbol as in AC17.

Had one yesterday, bat pad off Nathan lyons bowling,was a real beauty.Also had a one handed diving catch from Barstow that looked great.

Is anyone else having issues when loading a saved game and it says the field setting is incorrect and then changes to another field? I know they are not illegal as I only had 2 fielders outside the circle in my original map. Need to investigate to see if it happens when I start a new game.

Helmet is off whenever I see it

Same On My End

Getting way too many edges off Good Ideal Ideal timing right now.

Pretty much if you get that combo its a guaranteed edge either to wicket-keeper , the boundary or onto your own stumps

Is it online of offline? I've played offline for a while and haven't edged anything with 3 greens (Good/Ideal). Most of my dismissals are the result of poor footwork and/or timing.

Online that's all I play at the minute.

 

[Etto]

anyone know what font they use for the "Cricket 19" text on the main start screen?

 

[azkhan]

Bowling controls are the same as 17/Ashes? i.e. just pick one of 12 lengths with little to no variation/error.

Have you got the game? It is good. I think you will enjoy it. It is the best game of the lot and that’s without a massive patch 6 months down the line. BA continue to support the game which is great as the game can get even better
