Cricket Heroes - testing & feedback

@itay: Sure thing - should Over and Around just be set as for a right-handed batsman? Maybe that'd make it less complicated?

I'll also have the keeper move a little earlier to try to cut off wide balls.

I reckon it should depend whether the bowler is left or right arm.

From Wikipedia (hope this helps)

Over the wicket - a right-handed bowler bowling to the left of the stumps, and vice-versa for a left-handed bowler.

Around the wicket - a right-handed bowler passing to the right of the stumps during his bowling action, and vice-versa for left-handed bowlers.

EDIT: You might have missed my edit in the previous post (edited it a bit late)

Yeah, that's how it's set up now Cool, I'll have the bowler maintain his approach regardless of whether or not the batsman switches form left to right. I'll just have the game automatically toggle the management option.

Just saw the edit now. Sure thing, I'll fix that up too. Hopefully I'll have another patch by tonight.

@kurtkz: Just observed the 'To Win' target is a little bit off. Should be the lead at the end of the third innings (in first class/Tests) plus 1.

 

[kurtkz]

Whoops, dunno how I missed that one Adding it to my list.

@kurtkz: Leg side shots may need to be tweaked again, almost all shots I have scored off have been through the off side.

@itay: Were you by any chance playing the balls from off stump or outside?

No, not really... The ones that were on middle stump I tried to play on the on side but it's almost impossible to score off (not enough power?). Shuffling across to play a few to the on side didn't reap much success either.

 

[kurtkz]

Hmm, what shot were you playing? Leg glance?

'E' key shots (for a right handed batsman)... been avoiding the 'D' key as much as possible to avoid getting out LBW.
