Cricket Heroes - testing & feedback

[hedger_14]

Yeah, probably actually. I just didn't want to make a huge difference though. But yeah, I'll decrease his ODI rating by about 5.

 

[hedger_14]

And can you give me a date to calculate the age from? Should I just do it from today?

 

[kurtkz]

Yup, from today will do just fine

 

[hedger_14]

Well started on the Australian rosters again and done a basic squad for NSW and QLD - Name, age, hand, bowling type, batting rating (with mods), bowling rating (with mods) so I'll have to do the more advanced info but I'll do that when I put everything into the excel.

 

[kurtkz]

Fantastic stuff! I'm going to try for a Friday release of the update. I'll include the new stats in the engine so you can test your changes if you want.

 

[hedger_14]

What do you mean?

 

[kurtkz]

The new fields aren't in the game just yet so you won't be able to test your changes. I'm going to implement those extra fields in the game before releasing the next update.

 

[hedger_14]

Well I don't know how to really make the rosters work in game since I'll just be sending them back to you to put them into the game so until I do them and have you implement them, I can't really test that. I'll probably just do what I did last time though and send you them as I finish each country. Anyway, I'm going to stop for today. Well I might do a little more after dinner but I'm sick so I'm probably just going to take an early night tonight as well. But I'll plan to put the NSW and QLD teams into the spreadsheet tomorrow if you have them done by then otherwise I'll just do another 2 or 3 Australian teams tomorrow in the same format as I've done the two current teams. Either way, I hope to have the Australian rosters done by Christmas, if not probably just after New Years since my girlfriend has the next week off so I won't be spending much time on the game.

 

[kurtkz]

No worries, thanks for your help There's no rush, so enjoy your holiday

 

[hedger_14]

Btw, just a quick question on the mods. Do I just put in say 10 or do I put in +10. i.e. is the + needed or not?

 

[kurtkz]

That's your choice - either one will work

 

[hedger_14]

Yeah, it's easier just to use the number. I just wanted to make sure though before I had to go back and add + to all of them. Especially since I won't be using negative numbers for any of them, putting + on are just pointless.

And also, I just want to know regarding to swing, seam and spin ratings. I really don't know what I should be doing since I'm not sure what ratings actually refer to how much the ball moves.

So just say, what should Dale Steyn's outswing rating be set to?

And I'm not really sure which spinner in world cricket turns the ball the most but what should that be set to? And anybody want to tell me who in world cricket turns the ball the most? (In internationals in general anyway on most pitches, not just sub-continent pitches).

----------

and blank fields just are counted as 0, right?

Since I don't want to be having to put in so many 0s, and especially not after I've left them all blank and having to go back.

 

[kurtkz]

Yup, you can leave fields blank and the importer will pick it up as zeroes.

Dale would probably be a 20 for outswing and 5 "seam to leg".

Hmm, not sure who the biggest spinner is in the game atm. Maybe Swann?

 

[hedger_14]

okay cheers. Does Steyn move it to leg much.

Because I've set most bowlers between 4 and 10 for seam movement (and swing) even if they don't move it a lot, since in the game, it doesn't seem to make a huge difference, lol.

----------

and so, what should I set as Swann's spin rating then?

 

[kurtkz]

Hmm, the movement is actually based on the bowler's base skill and the movement skill. I can change this though...

The maximum spin value should probably also be 20.
