Cricket Heroes - testing & feedback

[dancingmongoose]

Every now and again the non-striker just wanders up the pitch aimlessly.[DOUBLEPOST=1424359513][/DOUBLEPOST]It seems to be my fifth over gets targeted every game now.

 

[kurtkz]

A 78 run 9th wicket partnership at better than a run a ball almost doubled their score[DOUBLEPOST=1424360278][/DOUBLEPOST]20 overs, 56 runs, 5 wickets. That's the equation and I'm on 5*

 

[dancingmongoose]

I nicked behind for 12 but we won by 3 wickets[DOUBLEPOST=1424360612][/DOUBLEPOST]Successfully into the test series

Thanks @dancingmongoose. Working on the fixes now

@Allrounder18: Have you tried this link for your drivers yet? Intel® Download Center

 

[Allrounder18]

@kurtkz
Yea tried that , it looks like my laptop has customized version of Intel HD 4000 and 2013 is the latest version of that driver which I already installed ,I tried installing generic driver but so far havent succeed it yet.

 

[Allrounder18]

One thing I would like to see improved is the hit detection (bat and ball) currently there can be a foot difference b/w bat and bowl and batsmen still manages to play a shot. This is a major worry for me, Can you fix it soon?

 

[Allrounder18]

BTW Is outswing random in this game now? I played an earlier version (about an year ago) where we can manually select offcutter/legcutter and swing , but now i get to see a 3d bowl and control seam direction , so how to bowl offcutter and outswinger with this 3d bowl? (New controls looks more intriguing though)

 

[dancingmongoose]

@Allrounder18 you point the seam the way you wish the ball to go, just like in real cricket.

Although on the topic, as a spinner I can spin the ball both ways varying amounts at various speeds, but how do I bowl a completely different variation like the flipper or the slider?

 

[Allrounder18]

So we dont have control over cutters and swing? if we point it towards 1st slip how will the ball react? will it be a leg cutter or outswinger?

 

[kurtkz]

@Allrounder18: Unfortunately, because of the 3D models I'm using I need to have bigger hit boxes - otherwise you'll end up missing most wide deliveries. I'll see if I can tighten up the collision detection, but I don't think I'll be able to get make it 100% tight.

You have control over cutters and swing - you just need to change your grip on the ball. If you point the ball to 1st slip and your bowler can swing the ball (check his stats) and you pitch it up and the pitch conditions are conducive to swing, you'll swing the ball.[DOUBLEPOST=1424416650][/DOUBLEPOST]@dancingmongoose: Hmm, can't remember how I handled flippers and sliders...I'm not sure if it's possible to do with the current bowling system. For the flipper try holding the ball cross-seam and putting some top spin on it?

 

[kurtkz]

@Allrounder18: That sucks about your gfx drivers I'm not sure what other options you have though. Have you looked into something like this? TitaniumGL That could work...

 

[kurtkz]

So most of the changes are ready for the patch, but I'd like to see how far I get with the Hub before I upload:

- online profiles working again (with forgot password functionality)
- extras ball count option for commentary
- tweaked AI batting aggression (should play more varied shots)
- tweaked batting ever so slightly
- fixed crash bug on career mode when playing FC (I think - @dancingmongoose could I get your saved game again please?)
- fixed end of match commentary for pitch condition summary
- added support for multiple data folders (can be selected from Launcher)
- added link to online leaderboards in Profile view
