Cricket Heroes - testing & feedback

What is this autopower? Can you actually control the power of the shot with the keyboard? how it works?

You need a gamepad to my knowledge.

Btw does the characterstics of players works in the game ?

Yes but by default I don't think any players have any

Multiple data folders aren't working. I've set up the second data folder (the first has the default rosters, the new one has my realnames rosters), but when I open it with the roster editor both datasets have the spoof names

 

[dancingmongoose]

Also attempting to run the game from the second data folder get the checking config freeze

Played a thrilling match T20 match (Pak vs Ireland) on a customized newlands surface (maxed out for bowling) got Ireland bundled for 23 and I won the match by just 4 wkts though. I really sucked at batting cant find gaps and dunno all my batsmen shots are really low on power.

All my cumulative data has been wiped. Not sure if it's to do with the multiple datasets or online profiles

Just simmed the next FC games and it's completely frozen. It tried to sim 2 games at once so because that takes a few minutes I was watching youtube and I switch back to this it's been like this for 10 minutes now not responding to anything

played a t20 match (Pak vs Zim) Zim scored 112/6 in 20 overs in reply I got bundled for 47. Batting too hard.

@dancingmongoose: The editors themselves don't support multiple data sets just yet, only the game :/ Still working on the hub stuff. The cumulative data should all still be there - when you change player names and such, it won't get displayed though.

@Allrounder18: The longer you hold a directional key in the harder you hit the ball (likewise, with a gamepad the bigger the push on the analogue stick, the hard you hit the ball). You can turn on Auto Power to always hit the ball hard though without having to worry about holding in the key.[DOUBLEPOST=1424614740][/DOUBLEPOST]@dancingmongoose: I'll check out that sim freeze in FC career. I have an inkling where the problem might be...

@Allrounder18: For cutters try rotating the seam a little past where you would get swing from. I need to rethink this though. Also, characteristics work, but you set them in the roster editor. If you know some C# programming you can write your own characteristics too.[DOUBLEPOST=1424614982][/DOUBLEPOST]@Allrounder18: What difficulty level are you playing on?

Played a game after setting up the characterstics ,the game crashes after the last bowl of the match as scotland wins against me (Pak), Is it due to characterstics settings?
Got my high score though 59. I set the power to auto and still not finding enough power for my liking ,I only rely on singles and doubles ,cant hit boundary at all , and slogs always result in caught. also the timing meters always says GOOD with half meter turned yellow. Dunno what does that mean.
i knew some programming (made a cricket sim in VB and shared it here long while ago) but I have some good ideas regarding characterstics
1)Weak nerves (For bowler- If he hits for couple of boundaries he loses his "Control" and "Stamina" for the current and next over.
2)Technician (For batsmen-Generally handles big swing/seam well)
3)Miser (For bowler-Doesnt give many runs)
4)Touch player (Relies on singles and doubles very good at finding gaps)

Playing Dynamic difficulty level (dunno what does that mean though)

Not getting any movement by bowling cutters the way you mentioned even though my bowler have high skills for cutters and seam bowling condition is also set to 100.

 

[kurtkz]

@Allrounder18: Hmm, I'll check the cutter issue quickly. Dynamic difficulty automatically adjusts to how well you're doing. I'll see if I can tweak that a little.

 

[Allrounder18]

game crashing every time when the match is over (this is happening after setting the characterstics)

 

[kurtkz]

@Allrounder18: thanks, adding that to my to-do list now

@kurtkz
It will be a dream come true game if you can add ICC games like aggression bars for batsmen and bowlers when simming a match.
