I keep it at 50 min and 75 max with aerial marker at 10.. Feels really good to play with the extra zing in the pace.. Marker at 10 neither makes me pre meditate nor allows me to smack and score boundaries easily.. Its like perfect spot.. Also allows me to leave a lot more.. Test cricket definitely feels like a proper test now..
Great will give it a try
initial couple of days played at default 50 50 just to taste default...but felt it slow after having played Ashes cricket for long at higher pace
Since had set higher min max in Ashes cricket so changed to 70 80 and found it quite refreshing and challenging as well...especially the short of length and good length deliveries felt quite zippy and as a result the timing window also had to be changed...to a bit early
Now since past couple of days trying with 60 70...
Have Always played and enjoyed the pitch marker since Ashes cricket introduced it..
DBC 14 had introduced ball marker which felt refreshing (but every shot felt very premeditative).. and replaced the pitch marker from all those previous cricket games which made them arcadey but we all enjoyed them as there was no choice...Lol
However ever since Ashes introduced the pitch marker along with a slider to adjust its appearance, it felt so immersive, challenging and satisfying as well..and removed the premeditation altogether....
Now when I (have to) turn on the ball marker in the nets/practice mode (just to make practice mode playable due to absence of pitch marker despite it being enabled) I simply cannot enjoy it more than few deliveries after which I have to exit
[Surprisingly this bug which was there even in Ashes, may be very basic and least urgent for @BigAntStudios that it never got fixed since Ashes cricket and now Cricket 19...but in my opinion this makes the modes unplayable for all those who play only with pitch marker..Have reported it already hope it may become priority this time...]
only pitch marker in legacy cricket games = premeditative + arcadey batting
pitch marker + slider for it appearance = immersive + realistic batting
Would definitely urge all those who play with "Ball marker enabled" to disable it and "enable the pitch marker" (disable the pitch marker colour though) and atleast give a try for a few days...
After the initial feeling of unplayability (which eventually goes away by simply playing), it will take your immersion and satisfaction level to a whole new level and make the game refreshing like never before...
Sorry for the long post..
Cheers!!
