Cricket Heroes - testing & feedback

[Allrounder18]

ST Begg has turned in to fine fine batsmen and his bowling skills have almost vanished although he still get 5/6 overs in an inning in a fc game and that too with the new cherry (basically he ruins the new ball every time) averaging around 107 with the bowl after 8 fc games.
Such a sad end to his bowling career (at one stage he was my premier strike bowler) lets see if he can regain his skills in the next season.

Sounds like its bad training slot choices. I've fixed it in the patch i'll release tomorrow.

Dont think i'll add a multiple season sim button just yet. it takes quite a while to sim one season so i need to get that sorted first.

 

[Allrounder18]

Is there any chance that you can add an option to enable pitch deterioration in career mode in that patch too? FC scores are just too consistent in my opinion

[kurtkz]

The pitch already deteriorates in career mode, too. I'll check out those crashes.

 

[kurtkz]

Ok, new patch:

- teams base skill range is randomized in range of 5-10% in career mode
- adjusted min pitch running speed for career mode
- more difficult to get captaincy
- ODI pitches are easier to bat on (like T20 ones)
- fix fielder name allocation when captain
- tweak attribute gains through training in career mode
- try to better keep player in selected batting position
- tweak AI aggression in tests
- fix saves from 2.794
- umpire gives LBW after delay
- fixed power bar
- fixed some memory leaks
- stricter timing for very early and very late shots
- AI should leave ball more
- show appeal bar
- hide View Live button when it's not applicable
- tweaked straight drive parameters
- fixed crash when it rains at end of 2nd innings
- improved memory management
- in T20 Super Over maintains correct inning order

Still to-do:

- allow simulation of full season -> still some bugs with this, will try to fix it by Sunday

Theres a left hand batsman on strike to a right arm bowler, he's left a couple from around the wicket but still trying to block wide balls from over the wicket[DOUBLEPOST=1425682781][/DOUBLEPOST]Just had a lightning fast leading edge again

 

[kurtkz]

Thanks, will look into that later. It's 1am :/

 

[kurtkz]

Oh wait. I might be able to fix that quickly

 

[dancingmongoose]

Define "that"[DOUBLEPOST=1425684288][/DOUBLEPOST]Do you think it's worth going for a two column layout on the leaderboards? The entries are only half width so it might be worth doing it to save space, and go back to 1 column on mobile

 

[kurtkz]

AI leaving balls and crazy fast leading edges

Quite right - a 2 column layout makes a lot more sense. I need to implement paging as well.

 

[dancingmongoose]

I'll sort out the two column layout for you.

 

[kurtkz]

Thanks @dancingmongoose!

 

[kurtkz]

OK - made some quick fixes for the AI and leading edges.
