@itay128: Hmm, that's strange - I haven't touched the controls...I'll check it out later and get back to you. Does any animation play when you play those strokes?

Yes, there is animation when the batsman attempts the stroke.

It could be that the length is wrong or the ball has moved too much...the straight drives in particular have a very small hit area.

Congratulations on getting your own forum in here. It was long overdue - especially considering the way the so-called competition have mostly fallen by the wayside!

@6ry4nj: Hehe, thanks for the kind words It was actually Rohit who approached the mods for a forum, so thanks to him and MattW (I'm assuming MattW created the forum).

Ok... I'll probably try it out again. I tried playing straight drives (on easy difficulty) but no success so far.

@itay128: I'll increase the size of the hitboxes for the easier modes in the next update. Have you tried practising the straight drive in the nets?

Yes, did that and the best result was only the ball rolling back slowly to the bowler.

Hmm, I think I'll increase the size of the hit boxes for the straight drive across all difficulties then...

Same issue occurs with the back foot cover drive as well (tested in-game and in the nets).

Coolio, that'll be fixed in the next update

@rahul: Good to have you back No worries, testing is going a bit slowly so I'll probably only have a new build up tonight or tomorrow.

 

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]
