Cricket Coach 2009 Bugs Thread

[surendar]

Well, discuss the bugs which has been annoying you.

The bugs which has been currently looked at by Oli,

* The match engine is currently a bit out of balance. Too many boundaries are scored in Twenty20's whilst scoring is too low in First Class cricket.
* A player editor is complete but not 100% working, hence it is disabled for version 3.04. We expect this to be fully functional in time for version 3.05.
* Default field settings are to be enhanced over the next 2 or 3 versions as currently they are a little unrealistic.
* The ISL auction is being tweaked. Right now it works but seems a little unfair to the user. As one major buy takes up too much of the budget

The bugs which has been fixed by Oli in last V 3.04,

- Fixed bug which meant loading old saved games caused a crash
- Fixed kolpak code so that game can load in player database with kolpak player info
- Added kolpak data to several players appearing for English counties
- Fixed several database issues
- Added basic pitch/weather conditions to team selection screen
- Fixed graphical glitch on player contracts screen
- Tweaked ODI match engine resulting in higher more realistic scores

Reported Bugs :

1. The amount of times the batsmen get out caught. I set my whole top order to Ultra Defensive in a First Class game and they all got out caught for scores under 25. Needs to be more balance of dismissals, and surely some more variation in the aggression settings.
   
2. When there is a No Ball bowled, the batsman never scores off it. They always leave it to the keeper. Surely some runs could be scored off No Balls?
   
3. Also, should there be 122 overs bowled in 1 day of FC Cricket?
   
4. Was just playing a FC match, and in 1 innings I got run out 4 times. All 4 times I edged it or ran it to second/third slip and then they took a run. To be honest, that should never happen, no one runs after edging it to slip, unless there is a misfield..
   
5. When changing from a Spin bowler to a Pace bowler, or the other way around the bowling plan options don't change. I swapped from Patel (Off Spin) to Burns (Pace) and it gave me Off Spinning delivery options (Off Break, Wrong Un, etc).

Just a quick note, if I don't reply, just assume I've copied and pasted your problems to a more convenient place for myself and Oli, we won't forget you!

That sounds great. I will update the first post as the bugs are being reported here & you can very well take those from the first post.

EDIT : Incase if any of the reported bugs seems to be fixed, let me know, I will change it to FIXED by either changing the color to green or writing there as " Fixed ".

 

[Simbazz]

Will do, Suren.

Oli is away this weekend, so it'll be monday before I speak to him.

Not really a bug, but I didn't want to start a whole new thread over this. Something here that is really easy and quick to change - the abbreviation of Queensland should be QLD. I can understand how he got this wrong, and it is really so minor that you probably shouldn't worry about fixing it, but at the end when all the major bugs are done, and the game is just being ironed out, you should probably fix this if you want to make it absolutely perfect.

I'll try to remember this Blake when I speak to the Dev later.

Is the demo 3.04 or is it the original? The reason I ask is because I just downloaded it and it seems to be littered with bugs and shoddy gameplay, despite the fact these areas are supposed to have been fixed in the latest version. I played one first class game. 3 innings were a procession of players getting caught in the deep/covers followed by a crash in the 4th inning. If the demo isn't the latest fix and is the original release complete with bugs it's hardly going to entice new users into buying the game!

 

[treva]

Demo is the original. There will be a new trial for the 3.05 update.
