Cricket Heroes - testing & feedback

Find what's wrong with the attached screenshot. A pretty funny bug

I think there is something wrong with ODI Quick Matches option. When choosing to play quick ODI, I get to a screen saying Team A has won the toss (which means Team A is human team) and I select to bat first. However, in the next screen, I am asked to pick opening batsmen for Team B. Team B actually bats and is human controlled team.

When DRS is offered when human batsman is given out, if you click No for referral, batsman continues playing.

Will post more later.

the balls faced?

Whoa. It's like Pakistan is playing itself :P Will check it out...

OK - I managed to track down the 2 bugs:

- wrong team selection during Quick Match
- crash on saving a game while playing

For the referrals, was it a catch referral or an lbw?

Wow, that was quick.

 

[kurtkz]

Hehe, I just hope it works

The next update will likely only be some AI tweaks, defensive shot adjustments (the force isn't exactly correct) and the new challenges that Pat suggested.

Thereafter, it'll be all guns blazing on career mode...

@dancingmongoose: When I have funds again I'll get extra animations made

I could give it a shot...

 

[kurtkz]

@dancingmongoose: You do animations?

Bowled about 15 overs and so far, so good. No crashes, game is pretty smooth. Only one ball, the bowler's runup was a bit slower than normal but all I have to really note on that.

Michael Hogan has his seam to leg set as 4 but when you select a leg-cutter, it will only allow you to choose 0 seam. Not sure what's the problem with that.

Bowling seems a little easy, especially on pro. They're going a touch over 3 runs an over but helped that they took Rimmington for 23 runs in 4 overs, otherwise they're going 2-2.5 runs an over. And they're already 4 wickets down, with 2 wickets being bowled, an edge to gully and a bouncer from Coulter-Nile which looked like it hit the helmet and popped up to the bowler for a caught and bowled, so idk, I think you might need to work on the graphics for that cause it looked a mile away from the bat.

@hedger: Thanks for the feedback. I've been tweaking things since this morning so hopefully some of those issues will have been resolved already. I should have another update by Tuesday/Wednesday.

But yeah, it's too easy to bowl batsmen. I'd make it a bit easier for the batsman to hit the ball. Because you just set them up with a few balls outside off and then dart one in at the stumps and usually bowls them.

Thanks hedger, I'll fix that up later today.
