@ SCG

South Africa won the toss and elected to bat

Stay tuned for more updates...

----------

No crashes so far after 5 balls. I bowled the ball and it went past the bat and I saw the appeal meter. Do I just press 'I' to appeal, as I'm guessing I do (I haven't changed the controls at all)

And if I appeal for everything, will it make a difference to the umpires decisions or haven't you got that far yet?

 

[Meet]

I am not able to see any cone
Where's it?

@hedger: Yes, you just press I to appeal (assuming you didn't change the controls). If you appeal all the time it'll make a difference, but for the most part it shouldn't make a huge difference. In the next update I'll think of a way to represent how annoyed the umpires are

----------

@Meet: Go Options->Gameplay->Batting. Cycle through the options until it says: Batting: Cone.

 

[hedger_14]

I reviewed a LBW appeal but it was just hitting outside the line

I have appealed when it goes past the bat but it hasn't given me any option to review it.

 

[kurtkz]

@hedger: It means that there was no snick - basically, as soon as the ball passes the bat, the Appeal meter pops up. I think it'll be a lot easier to spot snicks when I add the audio cue.

@everyone: Does anyone know where I can find free bat on ball sounds?

 

[hedger_14]

lol, I'm getting hit for boundaries all the time now.

So pretty much it will come up with me for an option to review it when there is a snick? That sort of gives it away, doesn't it?

----------

fearsome tweak yeah, successful review. Just hit him in line and was going on to hit middle and off. South Africa are one down, Smith out. Petersen comes in.

 

[kurtkz]

@hedger: Yes, I can't think of any other way to do it :/ Keep in mind that the snicko might no show enough of a edge to overturn the decision though. Some of the edges are *seriously* fine.

----------

Eh, it's a mission to balance batting versus bowling and fielding. Is the computer hitting lots of boundaries now?

 

[hedger_14]

Ok, and another successful review. This makes it a lot more interesting. How plumb do they have to be for them to be given out? He was trapped in front of middle who knows how far up (Was a pretty full ball) and the umpire gave it NO. I reviewed it though and it was overturned.

----------

████. I just used up my second review. And it wasn't close from out to. Somehow I managed to not pitch it in line with the left handed bowler and still hit the stumps. (Left handed batsman)

They are 41/5 though. 4 have been reviewed LBW appeals and one has been a caught at second slip.

 

[kurtkz]

@hedger: Does the computer play too late quite often then (4 lbws sounds a bit much...)?

 

[hedger_14]

Idk, I cant tell with th simple graphics. They should have about 10 lbws by now but the umpire won't give a single thing out

 

[kurtkz]

@hedger: Thanks for the info - I think I may have made the computer play a bit *too* late. I'll see about updating the umpire stats too.

 

[AbhishekS]

@Yudi: Thanks, were you bowling first or batting first? Also, what format were you playing? I tried to play a T20 between India and Pakistan now (bowling & batting) and it seems to work fine. Did you download release 6?

I was playing T20s and was batting first in the first two matches, was bowling in the second.

And I haven't downloaded Release 6, I've downloaded Release 5 and Update 10. Do I need to download Release 6 to make it work?

 

[AsadAbrar]

Is this game 3d or 2d?
It is Management or Simulation?

 

[kurtkz]

@Yudi: That should've worked - to be sure though, try downloading release 6?

@Coolboy12: It's 2D and is an action/simulation game.
