No patch yet on PS5
Indeed long known issue but its pretty poor we have to self police issues like this due to something that should have been fixed eons ago.
for me this is the key. I'm aware it's a game and there will be bugs and issues - the key is how often and how impactful. in a test match, the odd bit of bad fielding giving an extra run here or there isn't a big deal. (the shorter the format, obviously the bigger the deal for every run.)Oh for sure. I'm first to critique. But if there's positives. I'd rather focus on them.
It will never be perfect. Far from.
I bowled 200 overs other day. And apart from 3 instances it was solid cricket.
No glance shots goes straight to hand even if the ball is smashed legside. I actually haven't had one bat pad yet. Bowled England out for 130 with 4 wickets to spinners because of the OP short leg. Forcing myself not to use a short leg until it is fixed. Rest of the fielding is pretty good. Heading in the right direction again. Default Veteran AI with hard batting and bowling.Are you talking about bat pads? Or a new issue?
Send a message to Big Ant. They may update it or they may not in a future patch. But it doesn't hurt to try.One thing I've noticed is there's no GM bats from after 2021. Any GM player is using a bat which is three years old at this point!
Glad to hear that, run outs accounted for atleast 3 wickets every game on the previous patch.OH and no run outs yet lol. There were some close calls but AI very careful when running.
Any plays and misses ? Genuine wickets ? Going to fire it back up tonight properly and edit the players down to 5 like @Wealey Suggested see if I get a decent gameNo glance shots goes straight to hand even if the ball is smashed legside.

Agree completely.. 2 silly run outs in an innings where if I can reload I'm not bothered.for me this is the key.

but wickets are a big deal, if you're getting dumb run-outs or the keeper sliding through the wickets and batter to take a catch in front of the crease, and it's happening every few overs, that renders it unplayable.
pre the prior patch on ps5, for longer formats (and I do only play tests), it was a fun and dare i say realistic game, with the issues not so frequent or impactful. that patch destroyed it. and it's hard for me to cut BA much slack or give them a lot of benefit of the doubt when they pushed that patch out on console when steam had been raising these issues for several days.
A lot of play and misses yes. Had one inside edge onto stumps and couple of beautiful edges to slips. Yet to get lbw's and clean bowled wickets.Any plays and misses ? Genuine wickets ?
