Cricket 19 General Discussion

This game is really getting on my nerves.

Playing a test series Ind v Eng (ai) on veteran

AI always has at least one batsmen at the crease who will just score mostly in boundaries .

In the first game butler went beserk and made 185 in 2nd inns with a very large portion of it in 4 and 6 and a few other batters too .

Now just started 2 nd test and already got denly making 50 with 12 fours and only 2 singles


Lost the first test and was looking to try and comeback in the series but it’s stuff like this that really puts me off this game

Are you just attacking the stumps or bowling a lot of fuller balls?

Full, short, at the stumps, wide of it, you name it but no use. One ball at least will be dispatched per over. Of course there is also the wonderful overpowered edges flying to the fence too.
 
What card and cpu do you have? V sync asks a few frames but if your gpu and cpu are powerful it wont matter
CPU = I5 7500 processor
GPU = GTX 1050TI (4GB)
 
I just think for the next edition they need to go back to the Don Bradman 14 gameplay and start from there... obviously adding the new stadia, ground editors etc and dealing with the minor faults like the silly run outs. DB 14 is a better basis for a future cricket game. I don't know what went wrong with later iterations - it is partly that they went away from a hard-core simulation to a more arcade game and in doing so created more bugs and less cricket-like gameplay.

It is all a matter of opinion of course, but for those getting frustrated with Cricket 19 I'd certainly recommend picking up a copy of Don Bradman 14 if you don't have it.

There were no edges in DBC14, so bowling was shit. Most of the organic play (when you're bowling) in C19 is way better (although the DBC14 system was superior). But yes, pitch visuals and player customisation options were streets ahead in 14 too.

Sounds like a learning curve issue or just game frustration to me. Practice your bowling in training mode or 5-over format. You don't want to use too much variation either, rather be consistent and have one or two wicket-taking-tricks up your sleeve when you need to pull it out and confuse your opponent.

Bowling 6 yorkers at midstump per over (not saying you are, just an example) is going to get less wickets than bowling good length and then mixing in some fuller balls and a yorker every so often. Short balls are a bit unpredictable so use them sparingly (I mostly use short balls to throw a 150km/h bouncer at the batsman who just hit me for a boundary). Batsman often won't even swing at balls above the waist in tests, just ducking out the way.

Test matches are always frustrating though dude, you might bowl 10 overs before you even get a whiff at taking someones wicket, that's why its called a test. If you want more action with less patience required, try ODI or even T20. (T20 on CR19 is too much of a slogfest for my liking, ODI has just the right amount of action and defensive balance, in my opinion anyway)

Try and aim for 3-4 dots then start putting the pressure on with your last couple deliveries, that seems to have the best result because the batsman wants to rotate around the end of the over.

If your looking for more information, this is pretty helpful but its a quite a read:

Also make sure your bowling to your field, or change it if its not right. Your style might not suit the field and vice-versa. When bowling, you can change the field the same as the captain so make sure to utilize this as well. If your not great with setting fields, then just try some of the template ones, theres hundreds to choose from.
