Hi guys, adding more to the C19 woes:
Playing time: 12 hours (mostly practicing the walkthroughs over and over to get comfortable with controls and basic game mechanics since I am playing a cricket video game after 7-8 years)
Difficulty: Medium (Batting + Bowling) + Pro (AI)
Match: Eng (me) vs Aus (AI) (default teams as found in out of the box C19)
Match type: Test (No customizations)
Pitch: Soft and Grassy.
Controls scheme: Standard
The biggest issue I am having is the
scripted AI in terms of batting. I keep bowling good length, consistent around the corridor deliveries, also introduce reasonable variation to my deliveries, however it always feels like the A.I seems to play the shot whenever it wants to play the shot. If you look at the below score-card, the A.I Runrate in first innings was 4 an over (yeah in a test match,
strange:P). Not only the A.I seems to play a run-making/successful shot at will, it seems to maintain a consistent runrate too.
So for example, say it's the 5th over about to start and the score is 16 runs so far(runrate: 4 runs an over). Inside the 5th over let's assume I am bowling the same/similar offstump line (with the occassional varying of Length). AI would 1. leave 1-2 deliveries 2. Play 2-3 deliveries straight to the fielder 3. There will always be one delivery, literally always no matter how consistent (or unexpected) the line was, that A.I would either dispatch for 4 or 3 runs easily. Henceforth maintaining a similar runrate it started the over with.
I had zero maidan overs so far and very rarely the per over score went below 3 (i.e. very rarely so it occured that the A.I made 2 runs in a given over).
Is it just me or...is it just how the game is? I remember this issue was raised around DBC 14 too.
