Hehe, smart move

Okay, wtf, Nathan Lyon is a pace bowler. I do not recall setting him as a pace bowler...

----------

Well I guess Lyon is going to be a fast medium pace bowler for this game.

Anyway, end of the first session, South Africa 82/2.

Peterson not out 52 (89)
Amla b. Lyon 18 (75)

Bowling:

Hilfenhaus 0/22 (10) - 5 maidens
Pattinson 1/30 (9) - 1 maiden

Thanks for the awesome feedback I'm going to upload a minor update tonight and hopefully on Wed again. Career mode should hopefully have a playable demo by then.

 

[hedger_14]

Okay, since there's no tea break in the game and I'm just about to sleep, this is a 70 over update (So you might want to look at that).

Smith c. Hilfenhaus b. Pattinson 10 (14)
Peterson c. + Wade b. Lyon 52 (91)
Amla b. Lyon 18 (75)
Kallis c. + Wade b. Hussey 29 (120)
de Villiers+ b. Voges 50 (119)
Duminy not out 2 (3)
Rudolph not out 3 (3)

Total: 176/5 (70)

Bowling:

Hilfenhaus 0/41 (17) - 8 maidens
Pattinson 1/39 (12) - 1 maiden
Starc 0/29 (15) - 6 maidens
Watson 0/8 (4) - 2 maidens
Lyon 2/23 (12) - 3 maidens
Voges 1/27 (9)
Hussey 1/5 (1)

de Villiers and Kallis put on a solid partnership and looked on track to put on a huge total but the part time bowling of Voges and Hussey the big wickets in quick succession to put South Africa right on the back foot.

And I don't have much feedback to give since I'm overall very pleased, the byes issue is better now, only conceded 4 byes and that was a wide ball that the keeper didn't get to but not too worried about that. The only advice I would give is that you might want to increase the CPU run rate slightly. Like they're going at around 2.5 runs an over, with Pattinson and Voges (well Hussey as well) the only bowlers with an economy of 3 or above.

Apart from that though, progressing really well

 

[kurtkz]

awesome, awesome, awesome. hopefully I can get those issues fixed by tonight.

 

[itay128]

@kurtkz: Just tried playing a test match with the latest patch and the gameplay adjustments are great. A suggestion would be just to adjust the line the fast bowlers are bowling to right handed batsman (reckon they could bowl a touch straighter, so that the right handed batsman can play a bit more).

Haven't faced a lot of spin yet (so no feedback so far)

 

[kurtkz]

Thanks itay128 I'm pushing to get an official update done with a few more tweaks and bug fixes. I'll definitely try to adjust the bowlers lines a bit.

Just started a T20 Ind v Eng at Eden Gardens. Bowled a delivery and the game crashed after the ball crossed the ropes for a four.

@user2010: Is your audio commentary perhaps turned on? If so, try turning it off? There's still quite a bit of work I need to do on the audio.

 

[Gaurav_7]

I don't know. :/ I'll check and let you know.

End of 1st Innings

South Africa 216 a.o. (96.3 overs)

Smith c. Hilfenhaus b. Pattinson 10 (14)
Peterson c. + Wade b. Lyon 52 (91)
Amla b. Lyon 18 (75)

Lyon 2/37 (18) - 3 maidens
Voges 1/27 (11) - 2 maidens
Hussey 2/16 (6) - 2 maidens

All bowlers with at least one wicket

And if you increase the run rate with the same likelihood of getting out, I think the AI is pretty realistic with a score of probably just above 300 which isn't too bad.

 

[kurtkz]

Excellent feedback as always! I'm going to delay releasing a new update tonight so I can get everything working 100% (or as close to it as possible).

Lunch - Day 2

Australia 50/1 (16 overs)

Tahir - 0/0 (1) - 1 maiden
Morkel - 1/17 (5) - 1 maiden

----------

But yeah, batting looking good.

Just a note that you might want to make it easier to defend yorkers. They're very hard to defend, when they should be a lot easier to, especially in test matches.
