Cricket Heroes - testing & feedback

[kurtkz]

My guess is it will be pretty popular. Now, fewer forum posts and more work

BTW what is the project you guys are talking about? Screenshot looks awesome.

I'm hoping it's popular too, particularly with fans of Cricket Heroes

it's probably a good 6 months or so before any announcement. But there is something coming, it's (hopefully) going to be big and it involves cricket heroes. Get pumped!

Not much more I can say unfortunately

Small patch:

- tweaks to AI fielding (especially slips)
- tweaks to physics (doesn't automatically skip to next ball when the ball is about to stop - means that you can now be bowled by the ball trickling onto the stumps)
- tweaks to spinner effectiveness
- tweaks to AI aggression in long formats

Do we have reverse swing in longer format? Is it similar to conventional swing or the physics and trajectory is different?

 

[kurtkz]

To get reverse swing you need to point the seam straight ahead with the rough side (side with more damage) on the outside.

WoW pretty cool mechanic , can you allow user to play exhibition games with damage ball in next patch , would love to bowl reverse swing in shorter games.

 

[dancingmongoose]

Would that not defeat the purpose?

Hmm, what I can do instead is to allow reverse swing in short formats - this will only be when the ball is scuffed sufficiently, but not too damaged. I'll also include a reverse swing attribute for bowlers.

This is all theoretical of course Will need to see how much work that'll be.[DOUBLEPOST=1426577306][/DOUBLEPOST]@dancingmongoose: Correct, reverse swing is not really present in short formats anymore since the introduction of 2 balls per inning. I wonder if anyone has seen reverse in an ODI lately?

Thats not 100% correct if you have witnessed Ireland vs Pak game couple of days ago , both Wahab and Sohail were reversing it , its rare these days but definitely not obscured yet.

 

[kurtkz]

Very interesting. I missed that game. Then it sounds like my solution might work...

 

[Allrounder18]

BTW reverse swing is quite late swing than conventional swing hence 2x as dangerous for the batsmen, has this been implemented yet?

 

[kurtkz]

Yup, that's already implemented.

If we set 0.9 in all pitch settings will it be consider an ideal sporting wkt that has something for every one in shorter formats?
