Cricket Heroes - testing & feedback

[kurtkz]

@Paree: Great idea, I've set one up here.

@Pat: Thanks! I'll tweak it tomorrow and upload the patch.

@Markkkk: Looks like you'll need to install it somewhere else other than Program Files. That should do the trick.

@Xuzuno: Unforunately, that'll require a major rewrite of the simulation. Perhaps in a future version.

Hey guys,

just posted a quick patch:

Download

Changelog:

- made straight drive & on-drive easier to play
- tweaked default field friction
- rev counter text is animated
- tweaked close-in catches (should be less frequent now)

Cheers
K

Congratulations Kurt on the official release. All the hard work you put in finally is out as a finished product. Haven't downloaded the official release yet but will do it soon. I hope the keys which I got will work. Can't wait to start my cricket heroes career.

So I played a bit over the weekend

Im playing the beta version at the moment, alot of errors unfortunately, in a career mode, i can seem to play 2 games in a row without it crashing and getting an error, something to do with my color modes, i will post the error tonight

im finding batting extremely difficult, plus the setting and controls with the game pad extremely hard to get use too and set

for some reason, i have to use the right analog stick to play a shot, up is leg side and down is off side and left and right are blocks, its making it really hard to bat

this game is fantastic and the premise behind it is unreal, i want to commend you on your effort

i will keep plugging away and most likely buy the full version because of this career mode, but id really like to work the batting out, hopefully with time i can get it, but the errors is annoying, probaly wont buy the game until i work this error out and why it keeps crashing after i play a game in career mode

as a batting all rounder i have played 7 matches, taken 19 wickets at 7, and in 7 innings have made 5 runs with a top score of 5 with 6 ducks!! as i said, batting is proving to be extremely difficult!!

^^Have you tried lowering the difficulty level in Options menu?

 

[ibad17]

Are you running the other league? If so, i need to make a special version for you. Will do so tomorrow or sunday at the latest.

no, same league but how to update our version. need an update for our version as well.

^^Have you tried lowering the difficulty level in Options menu?

i had it on normal i believe but i will double check it

I think it might be a case of just trying to get used to it

I didnt have a problem batting in the nets, but once in a game its a shambles

 

[Pat]

Yea, you will need some time to get used to the controls. I would say try batting for a few overs in Beginner and Easy mode to gain some confidence and sense of timing and then gradually up the difficulty level. Heck, after all this while, I still play on Easy mode (Difficulty level 2 of 5)

OK guys, can anyone give me a hand with this error?

No worries Kurt, I will try the patch, what is the best or your preferred method of installing patches so i know, if anyone could answer this id be much appreciated

I played 1 game last night before the crash, so after 8 games in the 20/20 league for victoria my stats are:

20 wickets @ 7.1
6 runs HS of 5 and 6 ducks...

I made a run last night so i am getting better..... slowly

Ive decided if i can get this error fixed, i am definetly purchasing this game, even tho i suck badly, i am still enjoying it

 

[kurtkz]

@Xuzuno: I'll take a look at that bug later tonight. Been extremely busy at work :/

@madman: Thanks Let me know if the patch works for you...
