You could choose short, good, full and yorker lengths. There were then modifiers to bowl slightly fuller and slightly shorter than those set lengths, which you can see if you look at Hawkeye of an over.Which lengths were impossible to bowl? I never really did much bowling in Ashes, though found it to be more fun than DBC14 and 17 in terms of the variety of wickets that occurred.
There are lengths not covered by the set lengths and modifiers, so it is impossible to hit the top of the stumps on certain pitches (from memory, it could be all pitches). So to get an LBW, you cannot bowl a good length as it is always well over the stumps. And if you bowl the full length; it is just a half-volley, which can get LBWs on occasion.
I found it wildly unrealistic to have large portions of the wicket where it is impossible to pitch the ball.
