Cricket Heroes - testing & feedback

[itay128]

@kurtkz: Game clock is moving too fast in when speed is set to 'slow' (in the recent patch), only managed to get 18 overs in a session of a Test match.

 

[kurtkz]

Thanks itay, I'll fix that up ASAP.

 

[hedger_14]

You realise I pointed that out as well... And the final session is too long as well btw. So you need to fix that up and get the times better.

@kurtkz: Got this error log after completing the 80th over of the first innings of a test match. There was also one instance where the bowler bowls two overs in a row as well (this time in management mode).

MESSAGE: Stack empty.

As hedger mentioned, the final session is way too long (it was almost 8pm on the game clock when the crash happened)

Thanks guys, I'm trying to finish up now. I'll test it thoroughly tonight and hopefully release a proper patch tomorrow.

Hi Kurt,
I noticed that the game speed is different in different modes. T20 is considerably slower on Fast speed setting. However, when I started career mode and went out to bat, the speed (on the same "Fast" setting) was super fast. I had to make it slow to make the career mode playable. Can you please check this? If possible make T20 (and all other modes) as fast as career mode :P

 

[kurtkz]

Will do Pat. I'm not sure why that is though. Will have to do some digging later.

I still can't remember what swing is for left arm bowlers. Is outswing for a left handed batsman swinging away from a left handed batsman or right handed batsman?

----------

And I've done it so far that outswing for a left handed bowler is outswing to a left handed batsman so if it's not that, can you flip it around?

@hedger: Outswing for a left handed bowler swings away from a left handed batsman.

Just to clarify my last post regarding game speeds, this happens only when you select "Quick Match" option. If I start a New Game and select T20 format, the game plays fine. But the game stutters a lot when selecting Quick Match (especially when the ball goes into the outfield, the game slows down a lot).

Also it seems that bowlers do too much running in the outfield. I had a dab shot played on the off-side. The bowler was chasing it till the ball had almost reached the boundary line even though there was a cover and deep-cover (who stood stationery).

Another thing I noticed is that the squads are completely messed up. When selecting "Auto" on lineup selection, it only selects 5-6 players from the list and OK button is enabled. If I press OK, it adds all the old (retired) players in the playing XI (who are not even in the lineup selection screen). Confirmed this for England (had G. Thorpe playing a T20) and India (Azharuddin and Raju added automatically).

@hedger: Outswing for a left handed bowler swings away from a left handed batsman.

I thought that was it. Just not sure whether kurt has made it so it works that way though.

 

[kurtkz]

@Pat: Yup, I think I've solved the speed issue now (I think). I also picked up that team selection bug. I think that's fixed now too

I'll definitely check out the bowler fielding bug. I've tweaked the fielding as well, so I think that might be resolved too...

 

[kurtkz]

@hedger: Yup, what Pat said is correct

 

[hedger_14]

btw, when are you going to be releasing the next update?

 

[kurtkz]

Hopefully tomorrow. I'm still testing changes and tweaks at the moment.
