Hi all,

Download

Changelog:

- fix rare crashes
- improve AI versus legside bowling
- reduce stuttering when playing a shot (can still set power)
- defensive shots against spinners should be more solid
- re-added replays for career mode (no idea why I removed it in the first place)
- assigned teams show up correctly in roster editor

Cheers
K

I'm going to release another small patch tonight to deal with the AI batting vs spinners once and for all. But first. More wedding planning.

Welcome back Kurt. Did you get your hands on DBC14 yet? What are your thoughts so far?

 

[kurtkz]

Hey Pat, I haven't tried it yet. Is out for PC yet? I've been following the DBC anomalies thread. Sounds like the game is mostly solid bar the balance and some minor bugs. It looks like BRA has set themselves up nicely to start a proper cricket game franchise

 

[Pat]

It's going to be out for PC in the first week of June.

Is there a possibility on a MAC update?

 

[kurtkz]

Yup, I have a Mac again so I'll be updating it soon

 

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

Yupiee!!

Hi all, this next patch might take another week or so to finish, but some things I'm working on (in the little free time I have) *:

+ dynamic difficulty in career mode <- this will scale the difficulty depending on how you're doing
+ proper bat pads
+ in simulation mode, the rough will also be simulated properly

- more feedback in career mode from the coach/sponsors
- new bowling system <- I'm stealing some of what BRA did but it's a much simpler system
- new UI skins that don't look like dog poop! <- this might not make it into the next patch though, it really depends on how much time I have

Stay tuned for updates

Cheers
K

* items with a + are already done, - is something I'm working on

 

[kurtkz]

OK, so I didn't get around to doing most of the tasks (the big ones), but I have a another little patch before I head off for my bachelors on Saturay

Download (2.663)

Changelog:

[done] simulate build up of rough
[done] make batsman's head look down more in career mode
[done] added notice when AI declares
[done] fix direction of fielders when diving
[done] tweak inside edges
[done] tweak ball-pad collisions
[done] dynamic difficulty in career mode based on your batting/bowling average

I'll get cracking on the other biggies as soon as I'm back.

Cheers!
K
