Cricket Heroes - testing & feedback

[kurtkz]

Thanks, DM. I know it's been a longstanding issue, but I haven't been able to replicate it on my machines yet. I'll add it to my log, but other fixes/changes are going to take priority over that one

 

[dancingmongoose]

Well, it's probably an isolated case so I don't mind too much

----------

I just loaded up a career that was saved in the middle of a game and then camera's are default not career

----------

Fielders seem to run around to the ball instead of straight to it. So instead of going like this:

They go like this:

Two catches this over would have been taken if they hadn't run around like that

And I can't change the field in career mode when bowling anymore

 

[dancingmongoose]

I think players should come in more 'settled' in shorter formats, giving them a better chance of slogging from the outset. So one day games would be a little more than normal and T20 a little more again

 

[dancingmongoose]

All the teams have the same jersey
The audio commentary is way too indepth and normally commentators are silent until the batsman plays a shot. And the commentator can't pronounce 'swat' and it's annoying me

 

[dancingmongoose]

I'm playing as a bowler, and I've played three T20 games. Bowled the 1st, 3rd, 9th and 11th overs in all of them, never batted. This is my figures and experience earned:
Game 1: 4-1-0-17, -6XP - Lost game
Game 2: 4-1-1-12, 11XP (Now a balance of 5) - Won game
Game 3: 4-1-0-5, -12XP (Now a balance of -7) - Won game

How?

----------

Every game the top speed I can bowl is faster.

Full tosses don't actually turn, contrary to the commentator's remarks

Leggie's stock ball shouldn't be the flipper

Game 4: Golden duck and 4-1-0-8, -10XP (Balance: -17) - Won game again

Kurt, is there anyway you can separate the overs by maybe showing a batting scorecard it between each over? I mean I know its there in the options to view but instead of going from bowler to bowler, how about popping the scorecard up?

 

[dancingmongoose]

Please please please fix the lbw issue. Sick and tired of plumb lbws turned down just because I'm the bowler

 

[dancingmongoose]

Pausing the game should also pause the commentary, it keeps going

I just had lunch in a test match after 21 overs. It should be around 30. Either the clock is going too fast or the overs take too long

----------

For some reason, batsmen now aren't running back. Well they are, but it's at an impossibly slow speed so much so that time travel will invented before they return. Thus there are too many stupid runouts.

And with referals, it's given out as soon as it happens, especially obvious in lbws. It hits the batsman, and it's given out and then refered, only then after it's given not out on review that the ball actually drops to the ground.

At the end of a HK Sixes tournament, which I won. It really needs reconfiguring though, I had to take a minimum of 15 players for a tournament which only 6 play in and the field! Heck, I change it and every ball the stupid game changes it back. Woulda taken a hattrick with Watson if it weren't for that!

And why are players such as Andrew Symonds, Stuart Clark and Graham Manou back in the database?
