DBC 17 Batting post Patch 3

[Wealey]

I had no problem before patch 3 was finding it quite fun and a challenge hopefully he can give me some insight on this issue

Hello mate, currently in the middle of this match. As you can see pacing is still spot on however the AI are building partnerships and batting beautifully.

The changes were simple. I re skilled all batsmen up to at least an 85. This includes changing their run speed. Seems to affect overal batting rating.

Also set ur fielders in the ring to back. This has all but eliminated the chips to the fielders. The second wicket was a cut shot to point but was hit pretty firmly. The chips do sometimes occur but they are now dropping short.

So far so good! Having the fielders set to back also promotes the AI to block And run on occasions. Which allows them
To release pressure without the need to go big!

Give it a go and let me know how it goes!

This is why I suggested after DBC'14 that a global adjustment mode for sliders would be good. If for example you felt that across the board the batsmen weren't good enough in one particular skill, you wouldn't have to go through every single player, in every single team and make that adjustment, you could just adjust them up 4 or 5 in that skill and all teams would receive that improvement. It'd be a massive time saver.

Well yesterday, i finally started a serious career mode (had fiddled around little bit with career mode till now..was mostly playing casual and tournaments before this) after all ipl teams were updated. Many thanks to @Llewelynf for this..

In my very first match, batting first, i scored a 97 (brute mentality,veteran,medium)...i still cant believe it..but funnily i wasnt given man of the match...have attached images...though havent been able to replicate this performance in other matches (have almost finished first season...currently on round 15...i average around 25 with 3 fifties)...thoroughly enjoyed my play session...

First up few things that irked me were wrong career stats...after my first match, the stats screen showed that i had 2 fifties (though i had scored 97 in first match)...also i did not notice any separate international stats screen/tile... i guess i have also read in previous posts that there are no separate international stats...correct me if i am wrong...also there is the problem of double innings being counted for every match...though i have read that big ant are looking into stats problem as stats in general in dbc 2017 are pretty screwed up...also i do not see international/domestic player rankings...i really hope this is included in upcoming patch...i think with regards to stats (not only in career mode but also in tournaments/other competitions) at the moment dbc 17 is inferior to dbc 14....however, i am certain this will be sorted in the upcoming patch...

With regards to batting, i enjoyed playing with such a low skilled player...it was a good challenge...i feel its important to focus on increasing footwork stats first because in the beginning career player's footwork is awful (quite understandably)...i recommend people to spend all their points on footwork in the beginning (my footwork is already 68 and i am still to finish 1st year...i can notice a massive improvement in footwork already)...

Running between wickets and poor AI field placements are honestly playing spoilsport... i think these two should be priorities in the upcoming patch...

Can someone confirm if we need to simulate game to increase stamina, strength etc. or is it sorted? With regards to dynamic lineup issue if it is difficult to sort out, i think they may allow us to change both team line ups before every match (just the way we can change them in competition mode)...just a thought...

Also, in terms of shots, i think it is pretty difficult to play normal shots to extra cover and between midwicket and mid on (cow's corner, i think this area is least accessible)...somehow these two areas are more accessible via lofted and aggressive grounded shots...i have tried this in competition mode also...so its not a problem of low rated career player...

All said, i loved playing career mode...also i dont get any lag/stutter as kits and grounds are mostly default till now...so its much better...

How do you delete all your data and start again on PS4. Is there an icon in the game or must I do that from the PS4 menus?

Good question; anyone that can answer this? I've deleted the game from my PS4 menu screen before, but when I re-downloaded it, it still had all of my previously downloaded content.

Manage PS4 saved game data in system storage

As mentioned earlier - backing up to USB in advance would be recommended - and I would like to get a copy of your save files if you find that you have a better gameplay experience after resetting your data.

@Langeveldt @Stil

you go into settings, application data management, find DBC then choose to delete all of the subitems.

has anybody else who was experiencing oddities in the patch done this and had a similar result to me / @Max Walker in that it seemed to fix the issues? anyone done that and not had it fix the issues?

I've been away from the PS4 and havent even got patch 3 yet. This weekend I can see a) If I have the issues and b) If I do, does re-downloading everything solve them. I have hardly batted at all in DBC17 but I am sick of bowling at Warner-like Cook and Cook-like Warner.

Hi Matt I was having a real issue with the AI being easy to get out and not making high scores I was looking around in my PS 4 storage to see about backing up to USB and turned my ps 4 off when I came back later all my logo data had disappeared so I deleted everything else except my profile redownload a couple custom teams the bats and just a couple of Stadiums then restarted the match I was previously playing.
Before I lost all the logo data the AI was 5/53 now in my second attempt the AI is now 1/53 at same period in play and they seem to be playing alot better.
Wealey gave me some tips in the previous posts but the only thing I applied was putting my field back will keep post updated when I play more[DOUBLEPOST=1486565876][/DOUBLEPOST]

I found the AI to be abit better as stated in post to MattW

 

[Langeveldt]

I find the AI to be fine, apart from the chip shots which Wealey seems to have eradicated, and the lack of difference in strike rates between vastly different players. May give bowling a go post patch 3 and see if anything is different.

Make sure however it's not necessarily their overall skill rating but their batting alone. I found out that Moeen Ali for example was over an 80. But his batting was a very average 65!

Had a fantastic moment while batting in career mode. The ball was going towards the stumps and batsman kicked the ball away. Such subtle things make me go wow.

I dont know how to upload a video. I have recorded it in my iphone but it keeps saying incorrect format or something

That would be the first time I've heard of such a thing... normally my batsman watches standing still while the ball slowly bounces a couple of times before rolling on to the stumps.

Upload it to YouTube I want to see this because I've never seen that in either game

Keep trying to upload it if you can. I'd be very keen to see it! My batsman lets it roll onto the stumps without a care in the world
