Cricket Heroes - testing & feedback

[Pinch hitter]

I checked players.bdb and I found that some of the Indian players and other nations players including Virat's country column is empty... now I corrected it and now game works fine, I can select him as domestic player in indian t20... my players.dbd is downloaded from pat's original name, team link...

@RedKing: Can you send me your %APPDATA%\CricketHeroes\data\players.bdb file please? I'll take a look at it when I get a chance. Sounds like a bug

Thanks, RedKing. I'll fix it up when I get home later. Great spot!

This cross-posting is probably going to get me in trouble, but I'd like as many people as possible to see this -

If you were one of the unfortunate few to have purchased Ashes Cricket 2013, let me know. I'll give you a free, full copy of Cricket Heroes. PM your username and proof of your Steam purchase and I'll hook you up with a registration code.

Just reading, do people really have that much trouble batting? It's easy, lmao.

Oh you have no IDEA

@Umair2000: Hehe, maybe I can help. What are you struggling with at the moment? Is it timing the ball? Getting the batsman in the correct position?

 

[Umair7]

Well i cant hit the ball+i cant place my batsmen :/

 

[kurtkz]

Hehe, OK, let's start from the beginning

Are you using the keyboard/gamepad?
Are you using the normal controls or the batting cone?

Keyboard and the default ones

OK, so the idea is to get your batsman in place before playing your shot. If there's away swing, move your batsman towards the ball. You can do this using the keys A (left), W (up), D (right) and X (down).

When you're in place, set your stance. I think the defaults are I (forward), O (back), K (forward, lofted), L (back, lofted).

Now that the batsman is in place, wait for the ball and then press one of Q/W/E/A/S/D/Z/X/C to play a shot. The shots are all in the help and depends on what stance you've taken.

I suggest playing on the easiest mode to start with just so that you can get a feel for when to play shots...

Is it possible to change x to s

Kurtz, I recently found that when ever I edit the roster in roster editor, it will not save the player nationality, nationality will save as blank in players.bdb file...

 

[kurtkz]

@Umair2000: yup, you can change it in Options->Controls.

@RedKing: Aah, thanks for the report. I should have a moment or two to fix ot this weekend.

Cheers
