Exhibition match Brisbane Heat v Netherlands. I won the toss and batted, made 9/160-odd. Was surprised that a) Nannes was playing for them b) they used 9 bowlers. Not sure what player pool they have. Pressed next at the end of the innings and gone

Career player (and assuming other AI players) doesnt get auto improvement in bowling like batting ,I have to manually assign skill points to bowling when I level up ,where as batting automatically improves depending on how well i play.

 

[Allrounder18]

Hongkong sixes is also unplayable as it crashes.[DOUBLEPOST=1425195893][/DOUBLEPOST]No need to add other features (apart from management career mode lol) for now just utilize your time in fixing things up.

 

[Allrounder18]

Can we have cumulative stats in career mode for all players instead of records for only current season?

 

[Allrounder18]

You need to tweak odi games in bowling friendly conditions ,currently teams in T20 score more runs in same bowling conditions compared to ODIs (career mode)

There is no such thing as automatic improvements. Change your training

 

[dancingmongoose]

I think the leaderboard needs looking at Kurt, I've mysteriously disappeared from it

Well there is auto improvement for batting based on how do you do in a match (screen appears every match telling where player has improved after every match) ,but not so for bowling.

@Allrounder18: That's what you get from your training. You train on the days you don't play.

@dancingmongoose: Will check out the leaderboard shortly.

 

[Allrounder18]

Hmm is training affect swing ,seam etc do they increase from training or they can only be increased from leveling and assigning points manually?

 

[kurtkz]

@Allrounder18: That's one of the changes I'm making now.

 

[Allrounder18]

Add training affect to vs movement skill as well currently it always remain zero.

OK, new patch is ready. Might still be some bugs, but it should be pretty solid, I think.

Changelog:

- fielding tweaks
- physics tweaks
- seam vs swing fixes
- crash fixes
- career mode player generation tweaks
- career mode player upgrade tweaks
- career mode player can reclass to a different role (e.g. you started your career as a batsman, but want to develop into an all-rounder at some point, you can reclass with a penalty to your batting skills)
- career bowling experience is modified by the quality of wickets you take / quality of runs you score
- career players automatically level up certain bowling & batting stats
- fixed bowling speed in career mode
- tweaked replay speed
- tweaked simulation for better tail-ender scores
- optimized GIF recording for size
- fixed squad selection
- fixed domestic league mode
- fixed bug where a batting/bowling record would sometimes be uploaded over a career mode entry in the leaderboard
- fixed net mode
