@MattW I usually don't tag anyone and bother them, but I would really really like to know when are we gonna get a solution to the aggressive ground shots not working at all. 9/10 times aggressive ground shots are played like normal aggresive shots and results in getting out caught like trying to hit 6.
So, basically, the option is unusable

I tried to look into this - every aggressive ground shot I played with good/ideal timing went along the ground, while mistimed ones resulted in lofts - which to me sounds fair enough that if you don't time it well, that's the risk with the 'aggressive' grounded shot. If you are timing correctly and getting normal shots? If so, would like a video to give me an example.

Mistiming part is accurate, I also like when you mistime any shot, it should create a catching chance... But mistiming of aggressive grounded shot height is questionable, it need to be lower in height...

 

[Pinch hitter]

Currently mistimed aggressive grounded shot goes in the air like red line mentioned in the above picture... It should be like the green line, it need to be lofted up in the air, but not the height of current one...

Looks like it was put to test the pyros in the background.

Try the same shot with less skilled batsmen and it will trigger correctly and you will either miss the ball or edge it , the better the batsmen the AI adjust his shot according to the delivery

How much should be the overall skill of the batter? 70 or 60 or < 50?

But should every mistimed aggressive shot go up in the air?

In reality, the only aggressive shot that goes up in the air when played late is the pull shot I guess. Otherwise, most other shots which go up in the air are due to batsman being deceived by the pace of the ball and playing it 'early'.

On playing 'late', the batsman generally ends up edging it or missing it completely.

But in cricket 22, for example when the batsman plays a flick late, the ball lobs up in the air towards mid on in spite of him having closed the bat face late which should have resulted in an inside edge or lbw instead. Same applies to other shots as well.

BigAnt cricket games have always had this the other way around and it carried over to this game too unfortunately.

Late timed shots go up in the air which is incorrect as that outcome is normally against ‘early’ timed shots in real life. But it’s the other way around in big ant cricket and has been so with multiple iterations.

Hopefully it’s resolved in this game via some patch

I only play T20 as I just don't have the time.

Bowling maidens in T20. That's rare even in real life. Even the best bowlers gives couple of runs in their overs atleast.

Just tried the Run rate at 18 in a test match and have to say it’s the first time I’ve felt like a playing a proper test. Can’t remember who mentioned it but cheers

Good to know you are enjoying it buddy.

Fc - 18
Odi - 36
T20 - 45 to 54 based on your experience.. I would say this as the most real life simulation like based on my experience.

I understand, however even mistimed shots going miles up in the air is not realistic at all. I can understand ball going slightly up and getting caught but here the balls go up high in the air till boundary rope , which is not possible even when u mistime an aggressive ground shot.

Tx for the reply

My last test match I reduced Striker timing to 1 and wicket chance to 60. Still the AI smashed me all over the park. I bowled about 60-65 overs with not a single edge, not even a chance of a wicket. AI lost one wicket due to a silly runout.

Whats your AI run rate?

 

[Mr Snrub]

Running camera broadcast 3 is behaving like below after recent patch. Camera is going far after edges to the keeper.
Note: i am using broadcast 1 for batting and broadcast 3 for fielding.

Doing this to me regularly too.

@MattW
This is the shot I was talking about. I tried to play front foot squarecut here thinking that the ball was going away. But the ball came back in and an automatic drive shot is triggered regardless of my input.

One more example where i tried to play shot between cover and point.

Same happened with me several times with top order or lower order batsman.

I think its a feature not bug ….

Exactly otherwise it will be impossible to play the game and it will become a guessing game whether the ball is coming in or moving away , Tailenders normally don't play replacement shot more often and it's because of their lack of skills which i think is great , surely you can't have Babar or Virat playing n missing or edging every 3rd delivery because you guess the swing wrong.

T20s and T10s I have set at 40 and 45 which is breeding fair scores. Tests is a little inconsistent with patches but 20 generally has AI moving at 2.5 to 3.0 rpo.

Do you find 35 okay for ODIs? What totals are AI getting?

I’m finding they plod along a bit then explode in last ten. This is a bit like C19 I think. Even if the batsmen are classed as aggressive, they seem to start the innings in quite an old fashioned manner. I’m playing against weaker teams but my own created team isn’t rated much higher and like I say, AI are posting decent totals in shortest formats.

What should be the result, if we played lately on poor feedback?
