Hi everyone, long time veteran of BigAnt cricket games here. Only just got onboard with Cricket 22 since I was deep in a career mode on Cricket 19. I'm getting to grips with the batting using the excellent Rumple sliders, which feels great (it's nice to be able to finally smash short pitched spin deliveries where they deserve) albeit having to play everything a bit later than C19 has taken getting used to. I started a career as fast-med swing bowler in England. So far, I'm not getting anything like a realistic spread of bowling dismissals, whereas C19 was superb in this regard.
1) I have a huge number of bowled off of inside edges, even off wide driven deliveries, where the ball takes a huge edge inwards at a strange angle. Probably about 50% of my dismissals are this method (or edged drives to slips, or very very rarely an edged defensive shot). These dismissals really don't feel great/earned even when set up correctly
2) Also a lot of insides edges into pads and then caught in the slips, which also isn't common in real life
3) 'Clean' bowled dismissals are really rare, I had maybe 3 or 4 in two seasons. I used to get these in C19 bowling an in-ducker every couple of overs in between the out-swingers. There is a bit of the DBC17 feeling that the batter psychically knows whether every delivery is going to hit the stumps or not and leaves/defends accordingly. C19 was a bit better in that regard and you would especially see these in death overs with batsmen throwing the kitchen sink at everything
4) Lbw is so rare. I would get a realistic proportion of my dismissals lbw in C19 usually throwing in a full-of-good-length (or full) delivery pitching on leg stump to swing out and hit in front of middle, or the AI just missing a straight one or in-swinger (which happens), at the risk of getting clipped into the leg side for runs. In C22 the AI plays and times these nearly without fail, even as low-rated tail-enders. I had only 3 lbw in 2 entire seasons... including one that was given out but was shown to be missing the stumps on the tracker.
As a result of these I'm pretty much ending up bowling nothing but outswingers and the odd bouncer, if the field is set for that and the batter shows weak cut/hook/pull (not that this appears to make much difference in gameplay), as there's very little point in targeting the stumps. Any advice on what I'm doing wrong, different settings? Is this endemic of batting in grassy England conditions with the Rumple sliders?

Regarding kashan123999's post, completely agree - I also have abandoned ever using the charge-down-the-wicket shot, I just cannot time them.
