@hedger: Excellent feedback! I could make it more difficult to get edges? Hmm, not sure what to do about the 3rd man issue though. The AI tries to spot gaps. I guess I could make it harder to play late cuts?

I think maybe the settled bar should just start at a higher value, say somewhere between 30-40%. I don't think you need to make it increase faster.
No, I'm saying like, for example, AB de Villiers is on strike. He hits the ball, runs a single, then the fielder throws 4 overthrows. It's counted as 5 runs to the total, but AB de Villiers is on strike again, when he should be at the other end.
Batsman. The bowling stamina is fine
Yeah, maybe make it a touch harder. Can you make it so the AI realises it's hard to play those shots and will only do it when the ball is in a decent position to. Cause they're just playing late cuts off their body and it's stupid...
----------
You could try. Not sure how that would affect the balance but worth a shot and we'll see the results. It could just be that I'm playing against Ireland but idk, lol.

Cool, let me try it at a slightly lower value first. Maybe something like (10 + batting skill/10)%. Or alternatively (10 + aggressiveness/10)%.
Yup, got it. Will fix that up

Will fix that up too
Maybe 25% slower?Hehe, yeah, that's down to the late cut shot parameters. I'll play around with that and see if I can come up with something a little more realistic.

And yep, just make it maybe a touch easier to play leg-side shots so they don't come off the pad as often and make it more likely when it hits the pad to just fall down at the batsman's feet (or close to them
) rather than racing to fine leg all the time.----------
Depends on whether you have aggressiveness rates for every batsman. But hmm, maybe have something to do with skill level and ball condition as well, with ball condition being the main factor.
----------
Couldn't give you a %. Wasn't really paying much attention. Just looked up when Kervezee was on about 25 and he was at 0 stamina, lol.
----------
And also since you keep forgetting to address it, the batsman sometimes won't play shots even when you tell them to. Cut shots and cover drives in particular. I think moving the batsman makes it more likely for the batsman not to play a shot as well but idk.

Oh yeah, forgot about that. Hmm, that's weird. Are you sure you set your footing when the batsman ignored your key presses?
hedger_14
ICC Chairman
lol, I've made extra sure of that. I try setting my footing early, when I normally do, later, it still made no difference. I try tapping the button (the shot direction) over and over again sometimes and it still makes no difference.

Bugger :/ I'll have to investigate that. Very weird.

Yeah, meanwhile, Trent Johnston and George Dockrell are trying to piss me off by not getting out -_-
kurtkz
Game Developer
Oh wait. Is it not setting it to a dab shot instead?
hedger_14
ICC Chairman
Idek how to do that?
kurtkz
Game Developer
You press I, O, K or L twice. It cycles between normal and dab/chip shots. Bleh. Sounds like I need to change that.
hedger_14
ICC Chairman
Please do (liked it better with the 2 extra buttons for front foot and back foot dab), still though, even when I press it once, it still doesn't. And even if it was a dab shot, shouldn't it still try and hit the ball, lol?
And what's a chip shot?
And what's a chip shot?
kurtkz
Game Developer
Hehe, I just set all (read: most) of the dab shots to play the defensive animation. Can't afford new animations :P
I'll switch it back to separate buttons, but I'll do away with the chip shots because you'd then need 8 buttons to play the various shots.

oh, is that why it sometimes looks stupid, where it looks like he's playing defensively and at the last second plays an awkward looking shot? xD
And hmm, I think I'm going to stay away from dab shots. They seem to never make contact then So may want to fix that up but I can provide better feedback on them when you add the extra buttons for them though.
----------
Anyway, please do not make it any harder to get the tail out when fixing up the batting That was just painful xD

Hahahaha, will do. I'm just going to adjust the edge calculation and let the adjustment be based on the batsman's skill.
