Cricket Heroes - testing & feedback

[Somethang]

Absolutely hooked to the game.

There was a bug in the game, in career mode, where I was bowling and the batsman was caught behind but it said c and b and my name. Also, there seem to be far too many overthrows from throws coming in from deep. The throws also seem to reach the far end of the ground from the opposite side in a lot of speed which is not possible. Kurt can you somehow make the ball slow down as it's travelling because a lot of times I have seen the ball being thrown from one boundary to the opposite boundary resulting in overthrows. I don't think that can happen much if at all.

@Somethang: Quite right - I think I set the throwing strength too high. I'll adjust that for the next patch

I am facing these 2 problems now.
Can't set a flag and the home ground on the teams and also I cannot see the team i have made in the roster editor.

@singhb: Yup, I'm still working on those issues. Should be done soon.

Am I the only one with weird players name?

----------

Found a commentary bug -
India won by 17 runs but this is what the commentator said.

The match is tied! That's as close a match as you're ever likely to see. In the end Pakistan and India share the spoils in what will go down as an absolute classic. The bowlers will be pleased to move on from here. The pitch was flat as a pancake and did not offer much assistance either way. These two teams were fairly evenly matched so it was tough to predict the outcome. That being said proved to be the stronger in the end and snatched victory.

What do you mean? The auto generated players in career mode?

----------

@Singh: can you send me the commentary files please?

 

[Champagnepapi]

Not in career mode just when i was playing/simming in a series of Pakistan VS India.

 

[kurtkz]

[Champagnepapi]

Yep, I noticed this one as well today. Forgot to mention it to Kurt. How I forgot, I don't know. Kurt knows how much I like to tell him when something is wrong haha.

@kurtkz: Just a thought... For syncing player stats, shouldn't it timeout and just continue loading if you have no internet connection or your internet connection drops out (like mine occasionally does)?

 

[kurtkz]

Hi all, the site was borked this morning. Apologies for that :/ The patch (and full download) is now available.

----------

@itay: You're quite right - I'll see if the Dropbox API lets me set a timeout value.
