Hmm...what graphics card do you have?

 

[Champagnepapi]

NVIDIA GeForce 7100 / NVIDIA nForce 630i (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM)

 

[kurtkz]

Hmm, that should be fine...are the menus slow too?

 

[Champagnepapi]

btw when we are making a player is it higher the number better or lower the number better?

 

[kurtkz]

Higher numbers are better

 

[Dipak]

Silly question but - how do I sim a game?

 

[kurtkz]

@Dipak: Not silly at all I need to do some kind of online manual at some point. You have several options:

- when playing a series/tournament, you have 2 buttons - Play and Simulate. Click on Simulate and the whole game will be simulated

- when in-game (action mode) there are a string of buttons on the right-hand side of the screen. Hover over a button to see what it does. The 1st one simulates an entire inning, the 2nd one simulates 1 over, the 3rd 5 overs and the 4th 10 overs

When the simulation is done, the commentary is stored in the .\commentary folder in the folder where you unzip the game.

Hope that helps

Cheers
K

That's fab. Looking forward to the new commentary!

@singhb: Thanks for the feedback, I'll take a look at that later. Looks like my columns need to be wider.

@User2010: Hehe, I *hope* it's better now. It should at the very least be a bit less repetitive. It's not complete by any means and I'll try to update it with more phrases, but I think it looks a lot better than before. Also, the report exports are more complete now. Pretty much everything apart from the ball tracker is exported.

Have you ever heard of this wonderful word called "Please" ?

 

[kurtkz]

Hehe, it's OK, I understood what he meant

^^I just had another shot at the latest update. Am I missing something or is there no way to see the "Cone" during net-practice?

Also, I find the game speed a bit too fast especially when using the "cone" method. I usually find that the bowler has bowled the delivery before I am done adjusting the cone direction. Is it possible to have game-speed as an option in the game?

Another thing I wanted to ask was related to the 3D mode. I am not sure how to put it in words exactly, but let me try: The cam in the game at the moment is very aerial'ish. Is it possible to adjust the camera angle so the players/field look a bit more 3D? I hope you get what I am trying to say

Thanks for the brilliant work so far and I wish you good luck for the career-mode.
