Cricket Academy File Breakdown - Gameplay Details Added

[79cricket]

I should add that you should take all these features with a grain of salt. I am only translating the words I have seen in files in my own language. That said, there are high chances that most of these will be accurate if not all

Sounds great, i really wanted 5 difficulty levels as 3 is more easy to top.
I have a feeling this game on hardest will be what most of us are looking for, also Friend 863 can you see what the difficulty levels are called. I was hoping for something like backyard,school,club,state,international or something like that. Great job.

For now, it's only written their as it is.

- There are these types of Competitions -
League
Knockout
Series
You can probably create your own online and offline competitions too. Not fully sure about online but it's high possibility. But as Ross said before there will be online knockout competitions.

- Difficulty Levels
Easiest
Easy
Medium
Hard
Hardest

- You can sprint and run at max speed or min speed based on stamina during batting. Both sprint and running will drain your stamina. It will be recovered as you gain fitness and when you are idle.
- You can probably switch the strikers when running during batting. Non Striker/Striker can take these decisions while running - No Decision, wait, slide to safety, desired runs, sprint, dive. (I don't know what the last line really means so you are free to decode this)
- There will be different body type for cheerleaders

PS: I am 70% sure now after reading some variables that all the home grounds listed in Team Editor will be in game.

That should be enough for today I guess. It's not easy to crack the programming language into your own words.

There are 5 difficult levels!!! Thank you Ross and Big Ant!

Ross, just in case you and your team have nothing better to do the coming weekend, you can squeeze in a "Legendary" difficult level

Yet another reason to not keep hitting shots all the time and instead take those singles to keep a fatigued batman at the non-striker's end so that he can recover. Wow, if this is true, it looks like a damn realistic game. Finally, through these physical variables, we will have a cricket game where the mental (which is the most important factor in a cricketer's career....as self confessed by them) aspect of the game is as, or more, important that the physical one. Sounds super awesome.

Thanks a lot Friend863. You are a tru genius on this forum :

Btw, if possible, could you also check if the stamina gets drained when you hit more aggressive shots?

Even if it turns out that the hardest mode is not that difficult, I am pretty sure BigAnt will patch it to be so.......they have done that with RLL2....so am pretty sure the same will be the case for cricket. One thing I know for sure, seeing the technicalities in this game, is that BigAnt really do understand cricket.....so am expecting that if the hardest difficulty it almost unbeatable (which it should be) then that is because of true cricketing characteristics and not because the AI will be programmed to cheat.

Did Big Ant ramp up the difficulty level in RLL2 via patch Never heard such a thing before. Normally patches are used to fix bugs or to update stats/data but never seen patch enhancing the difficulty level in the game. Would love to have a "Legendary" mode difficulty level in cricket where winning against the AI is well nigh impossible.

Yeah they added an option called 'enhanced AI' which, if enabled, was pretty much a higher difficulty level, from what read on their forums.

Those probably aren't the names of the difficulties, just what they reflect. Hardest could be 'legendary'.

I don't think we need the AI to be invincible as it would require the AI to be a cheat. The AI simply needs to play the game like a very good human player would do, is what I wish.

 

[MattW]

I wish they could develop an AI that could learn from the tactics you use against the AI or the tactics people playing against you online use.

Exactly. NBA Jam has this kind of an AI. Here is its description, " utilizes the ground-breaking AI system, allowing the game to learn your tendencies and throw them back in your face"...

NBA Jam has always done that all the way back to the c64 - you get far behind then you can hit every basket ("he's on FIRE!!!"), get too far in front and nothing works for you...

Our AI will keep you on your toes

 

[savvart]

On my toes hey.

What if I get tired of being 'up there' on my toes and need a rest?

 

[BigAntStudios]

Then you will probably get hit and get a long rest

 

[savvart]

Well then I can have a sit down to rest my weary bones.

Unless I get hit in the head in which case - ouch...

There are some other places that would hurt more than the head
