With regards to the academy thing, I don't think it has anything to do with the latest patch because I've been dealing with this issue even before the patch released yesterday.Academy searching is back to how it was earlier in the year, certain searches just don't bother loading, WK's are still slow with stumpings and bowlers have no urgency when a ball is knocked back to them and batsmen are running.
Lighting however is very very nice and while nobody asked for replay sounds, its a nice thing to have.
Agreed. Stumpings need to be able to be gone for as the ball passes the batsman. Maybe a double press of X (PS consoles) would be a good way to do it, but it has to be faster.Academy searching is back to how it was earlier in the year, certain searches just don't bother loading, WK's are still slow with stumpings and bowlers have no urgency when a ball is knocked back to them and batsmen are running.

there was a fix to this bowling issue by changing the sliders given by one of the members here named GamerPradoshPretty decent patch.
But the issue of Right arm bowlers to LHB and Left arm bowlers to RHB still a big issue. Most of the deliveries end up on the middle and leg stump.
Fielding looks to have improved a bit with regards to unnecessary dives.
Leg side shots seem a bit less powerful than before. (good thing)
Lighting especially the irritating dark flood light print on the pitch in English stadiums has been toned down. (excellent although there is some new flickering which is a bit jarring on those shadows)
MOST IMPORTANTLY - one of the most irritating aspect of the game that I had, batsmen playing every shot with an exorcist-like twisted neck towards square leg (for which I even raised a ticket ) has been fixed!!
I am echoing what everybody is saying,
The lighting looks very good. The AI batsman are playing more varied shots. The AI fielding is showing more natural. There is vast number of field setting AI employs so hitting in the same place again & again is not easy. But two important AI bowling line are not fixed yet and those were discussed many times in the forum.
1. The RH Bowler to LH batsman line (or viceversa) is still on the middle & leg with a offside based field.
2. In limited over match, AI setting up a strong legside field with all four fielders on legside boundary and then bowling an outside the offstump line.
Overall it was a good patch after a long time. Thanks to Bigants team.
