Cricket Heroes - testing & feedback

[itay128]

@kurtkz: Forgot to mention a rule change, in ODIs only one incorrect referral is allowed in each inning.

 

[kurtkz]

Thanks itay128, I'll change that now

 

[kurtkz]

Hi guys,

I've just shipped the next build to the testers (who are doing an AMAZING job btw) so the next official release should happen either today or tomorrow

Cheers
K

 

[Champagnepapi]

will wait for it
btw on test match's i have not seen a player scoring a 100 when i sim the innings

 

[kurtkz]

Thanks singhb, I'll take a look at that. I might need to tweak the sim parameters a bit...

Still some commentary problems. Similar as before.

15. 1 Kieron Pollard to Ross Taylor, 4, 127.00kph, K Pollard pushes this through at no great pace. It swings in just off the straight. R Taylor plays an extravagant on-drive. Glorious timing. Overthrows! Poor poor fielding there. Boundary!
15. 2 Kieron Pollard to Ross Taylor, 4, 127.07kph, K Pollard bowls this gun-barrel straight. Excellent timing from R Taylor as he plays a late cut. That runs away for four

* Three in a row! This is some quality batting from R Taylor.

Though, this isn't repeated but it comes on after 2 fours are hit. But, not all the times.

See this.

0.3 Stuart Broad to Sachin Tendulkar, 4, 120.45kph, Exaggerated movement off the pitch. S Tendulkar puts bat to ball but mistimes it. Overthrows! Poor poor fielding there. Boundary!
0.4 Stuart Broad to Sachin Tendulkar, 4, 110.00kph, Big swing from the seamer. S Tendulkar swats this one. Very classy from S Tendulkar - no stopping this one
0.5 Stuart Broad to Sachin Tendulkar, 1, 120.25kph, S Tendulkar plays an extravagant late cut. Glorious timing. Can't get this past the fielder. One more
0.6 Stuart Broad to Faf du Plessis, dot, 137.89kph, S Broad puts his back into this delivery and he hits a short length wide of off. Textbook example of a forward defensive there. Hit straight to the fielder at square leg. No run

19. 1 Ravi Ashwin to Misbah-ul-Haq, 1, 70.00kph, The straighter one now. Misbah-ul-Haq puts bat to ball but mistimes it. One more
19. 2 Ravi Ashwin to Ross Taylor, dot, 70.00kph, R Ashwin tosses this one up to R Taylor. This one bites viciously and spins a long way. R Taylor plays that one with the full face of the bat. Point is quick to cut off the single
19. 3 Ravi Ashwin to Ross Taylor, dot, 70.09kph, Textbook example of a forward defensive there. Hit straight to the fielder at 2nd slip. No run
19. 4 Ravi Ashwin to Ross Taylor, 1, 70.00kph, R Ashwin floats a delivery to R Taylor and he rips an off spinner that turns viciously into the batsman. That sped away like a tracer bullet. Fantastic drive. That is an excellent call by R Taylor. One run
19. 5 Ravi Ashwin to Misbah-ul-Haq, dot, 70.00kph, This one bites viciously and spins a long way. Defensively played. Misbah-ul-Haq struck that too firmly to take the single
19. 6 Ravi Ashwin to Misbah-ul-Haq, 1, 70.00kph, R Ashwin gives this one some air and he rips an off spinner that turns viciously into the batsman. Misbah-ul-Haq drives but can't time it properly. Can't get this past the fielder. One more

* That's Misbah-ul-Haq's 50! Well played.

[ End of over 20 (3 runs) New York Fighters 108 / 2 (RR: 5.40) ]

[ Misbah-ul-Haq      19* (29b 2x4 0x6)     Ravi Ashwin   2-0-10-0 ]
[ Ross Taylor        50* (52b 6x4 0x6)     Irfan Pathan  6-0-21-0 ]

20. 1 Irfan Pathan to Misbah-ul-Haq, 2, 111.54kph, I Pathan hits a short length outside off. Crunched through the off side. Well executed late cut. Two more runs
20. 2 Irfan Pathan to Misbah-ul-Haq, 1, 127.59kph, I Pathan pushes this through at no great pace. A hint of swing away. Misbah-ul-Haq pulls but can't time it properly. That is a comfortable single

* That's Misbah-ul-Haq's 50! Well played.

Again, it was Taylor who scored a fifty but, it mentioned Misbah. Not once but, twice.

This is a minor thing but, I'd mention it. After the first 9 overs are bowled in each innings, the 10th over onwards there's that gap like 10. 1 and not 10.1

9.1 Kieron Pollard to Ross Taylor, 4, 100.00kph, K Pollard bowls this from the back of his hand. A hint of swing away. Can't cut it off. Four
9.2 Kieron Pollard to Ross Taylor, dot, 100.23kph, R Taylor defends with a straight bat
9.3 Kieron Pollard to Ross Taylor, 2, 116.01kph, No great pace there from K Pollard. He finds a fraction of swing off the surface. R Taylor plays an extravagant late cut. Glorious timing. Two runs
9.4 Kieron Pollard to Ross Taylor, dot, 110.61kph, K Pollard slows this one down and he hits a short length outside off. R Taylor defends off the front foot. No runs taken
9.5 Kieron Pollard to Ross Taylor, 4, 109.90kph, That sped away like a tracer bullet. Fantastic late cut. Through gully for four. Imperious
9.6 Kieron Pollard to Ross Taylor, 1, 100.12kph, K Pollard slows this one down. It curves away just off the straight. R Taylor plays it gently through the off side. That is an excellent call by R Taylor. One run

[ End of over 10 (11 runs) New York Fighters 59 / 1 (RR: 5.90) ]

[ Ross Taylor       20* (23b 3x4 0x6)     Kieron Pollard 1-0-11-0 ]
[ Craig Kieswetter  27* (24b 4x4 0x6)     Gordon Goudie  1-0-11-0 ]

10. 1 Gordon Goudie to Ross Taylor, dot, 120.05kph, Defensive shot. The full face of the blade was presented there. The non-striker calls for a non-existent run. R Taylor rightly sends him back
10. 2 Gordon Goudie to Ross Taylor, dot, 120.11kph, It curls away just off the straight. Defensive shot. The full face of the blade was presented there. The non-striker calls for a non-existent run. R Taylor rightly sends him back
10. 3 Gordon Goudie to Ross Taylor, dot, 137.00kph, G Goudie is working up a decent pace here. Defensive shot. The full face of the blade was presented there. The non-striker calls for a non-existent run. R Taylor rightly sends him back
10. 4 Gordon Goudie to Ross Taylor, dot, 137.00kph, Pitches outside off and it swings away. R Taylor defends off the front foot. No runs taken
10. 5 Gordon Goudie to Ross Taylor, 1, 119.95kph, G Goudie pushes this through at no great pace and he hits a short length outside off. Aggressive hook from R Taylor. They take a single
10. 6 Gordon Goudie to Craig Kieswetter, dot, 119.85kph, Pitches outside off and it swings in. C Kieswetter strides forward and blocks. No run

Also, there can be a commentary for free hits too after there's a no ball bowled.

Thanks User2010, I'll fix that up tonight.

 

[itay128]

Some problems noticed so far:
- All the bowlers are left handed (even though the csv file I have has right handed bowlers)
- Some of the text overlaps when fielders are close to each other (in field settings)
- Bowling speed and amount of swing/seam is really odd (doesn't show the speed or the amount of swing or seam)

 

[Champagnepapi]

btw is there anyways to edit fixtures or something?

 

[kurtkz]

@singhb: Unfortunately not - you can create it manually though. I'll see if I can draw up a document today and put it online. It's actually pretty easy to create it.

----------

If all goes well, there'll be a new patch released today!

 

[itay128]

@kurtkz: Batted through the first session of play (in a test match) before getting this crash log:

[kurtkz]

@itay: Aaah, thanks - I forgot to test that I wasn't reducing the settledness of the batsmen after breaks. I'll release a fix in the next hour or so. Hopefully I'll get more bug reports before then.

 

[Gaurav_7]

Commentary is pretty good now. No major bugs.

However,

13.6 Gordon Goudie to Ajinkya Rahane, dot, 136.44kph, G Goudie is working up a decent pace here and he hits a short length just outside leg. A Rahane strides forward and blocks. No run

[ End of over 14 (7 runs) Miami Surfers 70 / 2 (RR: 5.00) ]

[ Shiv Chanderpaul   1* (5b 0x4 0x6)       Gordon Goudie 3-0-24-1 ]
[ Ajinkya Rahane     28* (35b 3x4 0x6)     Ravi Ashwin   1-0-3-0  ]

14.1 Ravi Ashwin to Shiv Chanderpaul, OUT, 70.00kph, R Ashwin gives this one some air. That one goes on straight with the arm. S Chanderpaul strides forward and blocks. BOWLED HIM!

	Shiv Chanderpaul  b R Ashwin  1 (11m 5b 0x4 0x6)  SR: 20.00

Whenever a batsman is out, the ball on which he gets out isn't counted as ball faced by him in the commentary. Scorecard is fine though.

Also, some things I've noticed -

- Hardly any sixes are hit. Nowadays, there are quite a few hit in RL.
- The free hits usually should go for runs but, don't. 5 out of 10 times, they do go for runs..

 

[Champagnepapi]

^yes agree simmed full 5 test match's still i have not seen a six

 

[kurtkz]

Thanks guys, I'll tweak the sim quickly...
