Cricket Heroes - testing & feedback

[hedger_14]

Yeah, probably the best young batsman technical wise in Australia atm. And bowlers are always bowling on the legstump to Katich which makes scoring so easily with him. I would understand if I wasn't scoring from them but they have 2 men back and varying their length on the legstump and I'm just flicking them off for 1's, 2's and 4's.

@hedger_14: Urgh, one day I'll get the AI right. Hopefully it'll be fixed in the next update.

Katich just got out. Shortish ball on the legstump from around the wicket and pull shot went in the air and caught at deep mid wicket, just off the boundary.

When I restarted, everything looked fine.I went on to change screen resolution.I clicked up arrow after 1024*768 resolution, a black screen appear.I waited for five odd minutes, seeing nothing happen I closed the game through task manager.And now when I click the game, nothing happens.Something needs to be solved.Isn't it?Though now I can replace the game with the update, but it gives up the error stating-"Cannot move cricket:A file with name you specified already exists.Specify a different file name"I guess its just because the game would be running but its unable to load.Isn't it?

Meet, restart your comp.

Where's the damned referral system, I walk outside my offstump trying to work it to leg and get hit on the pads and I'm given out LBW. It hit me way outside the line. Even hawkeye agrees with me, it wasn't even going on to hit the stumps (using the over thing). Anyway Watson LBW b. Morkel 34 (67)

67/2 after 20 overs, Ponting and Hussey yet to get off the mark. Bowling figures:

Dale Steyn 8-1-36-0
Makhaya Ntini 7-3-20-0
Jacques Kallis 4-0-7-1
Morne Morkel 1-0-4-1

@hedger_14: Yup, I'm going to add the referral system in the next update.

Very dominant match this. 105/2 after 30 overs, Ponting 27* off 47 with 5 fours and Hussey 10* off 21 with just the one boundary.

Dale Steyn - 8-1-36-0
Makhaya Ntini - 8-3-24-0
Jacques Kallis - 6-0-15-1
Morne Morkel - 5-0-22-1
Paul Harris - 3-0-7-0

----------

Really, how do you plan on doing it anyway?

Whats the resolution after 1024*768?

I think the simplest would be to pop up a dialog asking if you want to refer a decision (caught/lbw)..

For lbw - do the 3 point check.

For catches - check if the ball hit the ground or was grounded (this will have to be estimated as a probability)

----------

Whats the resolution after 1024*768?

I think it's the wide screen one you asked for last time...

 

[Meet]

And it isn't working.Look for it.

 

[hedger_14]

Well if that's what you want to do for catches, shouldn't the umpires automatically be going upstairs for that sort of stuff. Catches would be more if there is an feint edge or no edge and it is given out and then go upstairs to review it. Although then you'd have to make it so that it can be given out if you miss it slightly and have feint edges not bring any difference (when there's an edge, the slip tries to run in front of the keeper half of the time) so you know there is an edge. And of course the no direction change.

 

[Meet]

Also for a caught, even check for no-ball probability.

 

[hedger_14]

Are there even no balls in the game?

 

[kurtkz]

It looks like it's working, Meet.

I think it goes 1280x800 and then 1376x768.

----------

There are, but I think I disabled front-foot no-balls a while back for players...I'll re-enable it in the next update.

Yup, good suggestion - I'll add that in the next update too.

Quick question - on reviews, do they check for no-balls due to height? (I'm asking this with specific reference to the referrals used in the ODI series between Aus and Eng)...

 

[Meet]

Add snicko, if possible to check the edge during review.

But it doesn't for me.
