Cricket Heroes - testing & feedback

OK - new patch is up. Fixes that crash and cleans up the top bar a little.

Ooh there's the appeal bar. Can't really notice it though. Maybe make it bright yellow?

Will do Time for bed now though

What about CWC15Update

 

[kurtkz]

@Siddhant007: Haven't gotten around to that yet. It's going to take some time because I need to update the rosters and teams.

You could just set up a WC mode in a separate database...

Also, I'm not sure using GIFs on the site is a good idea, after a little while they go all glitchy and slow down my computer.

 

[kurtkz]

Hmm, do you know of any alternatives that might work better than GIFs?

Meh I'll need to fiddle some stuff around but I could probably do the WC database. Need to go through Cricinfo at some point to get team lists (and add UAE and the missing players).

OK - so I haven't really read up much about FIFA (or Pro Cricket) player card system, but it's an interesting idea. Here's my take on how it would work in Cricket Heroes:

- when the system goes live it will create a distribution of player cards, each with a value in tokens. Low rating players are more likely to appear, so there could be 100x Brendan Taylors, whereas you might only have 5x AB de Villiers
- when you create an account on the system, you will be given a random distribution of 11x players and will be able to swop out 4 players for others with similar ratings (but not necessarily the same skills, i.e. you could swop out a seamer for a spinner, or a top-order batsman for an all-rounder)
- your account will have an ELO rating - this will determine how many tokens you get on winning (or drawing, if your opponent is higher ranked)
- to play a match, you select a player from a list of available players (there's a cool-down after each match) - your opponent will be controlled by the computer
- once the match is over you are awarded tokens on winning or drawing against a higher ranked opponent
- you can purchase new players in the player store using your tokens or you can trade players with other people

Would something like this work? Is there any interest in something like at all? Or is it a waste of time?

 

[dancingmongoose]

Personally I don't think there's the interest, maybe we need some more plugging. SWC might help with that but that's a little while away yet.

I'll do the WC database, no biggie. What I'd suggest is implementing what I suggested a few pages back where the teams and players etc are all in a subfolder cricket coach style and the player can just select the world cup db. It'd only have the 210 players participating

I KNEW there was something I forgot. Will get on that now (after work that is)

Weeee got a wicket caught at deep cover. I've still be economical but they have been prepared to go aerial every now and again[DOUBLEPOST=1424164820][/DOUBLEPOST]Hey that time it remembered the field.

 

[kurtkz]

Nice Define economical? Hopefully, not under 3's anymore?

 

[dancingmongoose]

Never mind, it was the other guy on strike
