I've set flight at 30 and still bat pads against an off spinner are common for me (even on grassy pitches with little or no crack). Should I try reducing the flight below 30?

Grassy pitches are most lethal for spinners.. don’t ask me why..

The AI also racked up 550/9 against me with the spinner grabbing 3/102 so it’s not an issue..

Does anybody know if perks affect how a player plays, i was having a look through the top batsmen and they all had one or two of the same perks which just seems bizzare. In fact Babar, Smith, Malan and Williamson all have the same perks, despite being different types of players, this seems so lazy from BA

Unless you can create a competition with custom match types, the tour creator is pointless.

A bizarre thing to remove. Why have a match type designer you can’t do anything with .

 

[disco123]

I haven’t tried but this is the sort of thing that we expect now isn’t it?

This is why with anything in these games, I don’t rush in but experiment whilst allowing things to get fixed. That said, I started a Career knowing it would crash… and it did!

Hopefully they quickly address things like this if we raise support tickets and we can enjoy Tour/Competition Designer/Modes because they’re such fantastic features of the game.

Did your career crash after today’s patch , and what format are you on ?

Did your career crash after today’s patch , and what format are you on ?

No, it was prior to today’s patch, one or maybe two patches ago now. Crashed and corrupted when I attempted to play my first game of season two. Not the only one to have that happen I think.

I’m on PS4. Don’t know if all this Improved Career Stability means that I can go further in future. Was waiting to see what others have to say… but who knows? Maybe it’ll crash when I/we reach international level?!

Does anyone know what the proficiencies mean in player manager? Like looking at line and length accuracy they dont make sense. Why is smith better than broad and starc

You’re definitely not the only one happened to me too 1st game 2nd season. I put in ticket to BA , I’m on PS4 also , restarted career today after downloading new patch , I’ll keep you posted if I get past 2nd season syndrome, but not sure how much game time I’ll have over festive period !

Anyone else facing a bug where you can't edit your own line up when playing in tour mode??

Yes same issue here

Mind if I add these to the slider thread? There's a list of other slider sets on there for anyone interested.

Cheers dude!

Please do. I'm really having fun with spinner using these sliders. There are big turns at times. AI missing even when trying to defend balls. Delicate touches to slip area, edges to slip area while looking for delicate touches. Pull shots for runs, mis timed pull shots resulting in wickets in the circle. Out field catches if the batsman mentality is brute.


In my experience the more revolutions to the balls, the more varying bowling experience you will get.

Not to mention theres no World Test Championship available to choose either.

Theres definitely a current issue with stupid AI running thats made a comeback.

Im playing a lot of test matches and on average 3/4 of the 10 wickets needed to bowl the AI out are ridiculous run outs, hardly any genuine risky singles.

 

[TSPrathik]

anyone, please clear this one for me

I play only batting and most of the time in career mode (used to bowl in DBC14, in later games I personally didn't get that attachment to bowl an innings as I've got in 14)
considering this aspect, can I buy it or wait a few more days?

AI 62-0 after 14

Not a single edge in sight. It’s things like this that make me lose faith with this game.

Things ultimately don’t work…

we still can’t skill a batsmen to be a true tailender..

it’s all pre determined!

I suppose it falls under the 'cricket is a funny old game' banner. Anything can potentially happen in cricket so 62-0 after 14 even with those settings is possible. If after playing the same game 10 or more times, this was typical, then that would be disappointing. That said, I do agree that there is no real notion of a tailender in Cricket 22 (or previous iterations). I wish they would have mocap of different skill levels with the bat, in particular. It's not that a number 11 can't play an elegant text book forward defensive or off-drive but they are also prone to inelegant swipes or defending with the bat too far from the body. There is a reason they are a tailender and a lot of it is expressed, in real life, as poor technique. Timing is also a factor but at the moment all batters, in Cricket 22, bat the same, from a technique perspective.
I would also like it if there was the notion of variable batter confidence. I hit Pat Cummins in the chest with 4 balls in 6 in an over, but he played on seemingly unphased by the experience. It would be nice if playing and missing, being hit by the ball, not being able to get the ball away for a single, etc. started to make the batter less confident and more prone to error but I don't detect this in the game...confidence seems to work in one direction based on how long the batter has been at the crease.
