Cricket Heroes - testing & feedback

[kurtkz]

I think the last feature I'm going to try to get done for today is sponsorships...and then I'll cross my fingers that I didn't break anything too badly.

Hey just add saving of scorecard of career mode matches.

----------

Also export button when clicked does not export stats perfectly in career mode. The player(my) stats are always shown 0 in text file

 

[kurtkz]

Cool, I'll see if I can get around to it

Hey mate, not sure if this has been covered, but I'm getting this error upon starting the game.

very good

@kurtkz: This is something I missed... Would you be able to show the pitch and weather conditions when deciding whether to bat or bowl first during the coin toss?

Also, at the end of the 80th over, the 'take new ball' option does not appear (when using 'manual' decision making in management mode)

 

[kurtkz]

@itay: does it appear amytime after that? I'll definitely add that view though.

 

[dancingmongoose]

I didn't notice the bowling all-rounder bug mentioned, or does that come under career mode fixes?

----------

The graphics are so shiny!!!!!

 

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

Amazing. The game graphics are to be honest shiny but looks nice. The pitch looks nice.

Upon attempting a challenge. It was one of the T20 ones

 

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

Career mode is completely broken for me. @DM can you start a career mode?

 

[dancingmongoose]

I'll try

Currently playing an India v Australia test and Zaheer Khan is the only bowler bowling to me!

Now playing a test against Zimbabwe and they seem to be fine with picking bowlers but India only wanted Zaheer

----------

And can we have the option to change the score format? I hate seeing runs first
Never mind, found it

 

[dancingmongoose]

Ok, now Sean Ervine has just bowled the last 3 overs, he also should be retired from all international games...

 

[itay128]

@itay: does it appear amytime after that? I'll definitely add that view though.

Not sure... but when I checked the ball shape after completing the 80th over, the damage meter was 0%
