DBC 17 Batting post Patch 3

[riteshagl]

Finally got selected for my state team after 2 seasons with an average of just over 30 and 9 fifties. (Is there any where they show man of the match awards?). Really not enjoying the one day game with white ball and white kits. Hope this glitch is sorted and patch is out anytime soon.

One quick question. Can we get selected for England county and australian domestic while playing for Indian domestic?

Small timing window( higher value in the shot timing modifier) brings errors and mishits.

But then it doesn't allow u to play Late.(very late, under the nose, inzi , Jayawardena type batting).

What I am noticing is that by keeping all the batting modifiers( except ball quality influence) to a low to very low value , makes thing overall better and more natural.

Batted on many different pitch types.
Pristine batting wkts results in high scoring games
And bowling friendly pitches makes batting tough even with low value modifiers.

Short power also plays a major role here and should b of low value when shot timing is kept at a easy level.

100% agree. I've found even with all sliders being on default, the "shot power" slider needed to be brought down to at least 30, if not lower. With lowered batting sliders, and the "shot power" at default (50), you could quite easily score 2 boundaries per over, which isn't very realistic at all.

Yeah it amazing how much of a difference pitch types have on the overall gameplay experience. I prefer batting on hard pitches personally, probably because I know I can backfoot drive off of green length deliveries, hence knowing I can use the full array of shots to the full array of lengths without too much risk and/or guessing the 3 subtle variations of each coloured length.

This is bowling, not batting related, but does anyone else feel like Big Eye is stuffed since the update? Had some extremely close looking LBs turned down and the Big Eye looked WAAAAAAAY off. Like balls that clearly pitch and straighten/turn being shown on Big Eye sliding down leg.

EDIT: Does anyone know if the umpires' decisions are based on Big Eye, because I'm sure I should have got a few of those decisions.

Just bowling or batting? Bowling is generally fine but the stutter on the AI bowler's run-up when batting is the problem.

Do you know what the "%" assets on that stadium are? i've played (prior to the patch) on some stadiums and they were fine is the stadium was under about 30%. post patch the stutter has been worse, and i haven't found any stadium that didn't stutter horrendously when batting. (even now, when all the other gameplay issues seem thankfully resolved i haven't been able to bat in any custom stadium.)

In my experience the stuttering happens with the sliding graphics in custom stadiums. You can see them right above the sight screen whilst batting. I am personally not a stickler for realistic stadiums, gameplay triumphs everything else. So default stadiums do the trick for me.

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

I agree, will be interesting to see. It probably is a coincidence. I have had times when the closing fielders have pushed the batsman out of the crease which resulted in a runout. If a batsmen plays a defensive shot and the ball bounces near the stumps, the batsmen do have a tendency to clumsily make their wake back in the crease, that probably is the reason.

Has there been any fix found for the batting issues yet? I play career mode and since patch 3 it's been an abortion for me every time I go out to bat, even on easy and with the modifiers fixed up. Used to average 35+ in t20 and over 50 in 5 day game, my player stats are pretty good (in my 3rd season as a batting all-rounder) and right now I find it too frustrating to play with the errant shot selection that does not correspond with my input selection.

Delete all your logo data.

Delete all your logo data.

Thanks pal, any idea how to do that on Xbox one? I can only see a save data delete option.

sorry, no I've no idea how to do it on the xbox one. if i recall rightly from what others have said i think unlike ps4 where you can just delete bits, on xbox you have to delete everything, in which case it means you lose your career.

but if your experience is anything like mine before i did so, you don't have a lot of choice because mine was literally unplayable. but perhaps you can try deleting logos manually first and see if that helps? start by deleting duplicates.

I'll give it a whirl. I wouldn't like to loose my career, hopefully patch 4 will fix this up.

It will

 

[Mr Snrub]

It will

That sounds great to hear. I haven't posted for days and days, but last I remember Matt was keen on getting some data to find out how logos or anything else could be affecting game-play and causing that early timing bug. If this means something has been done to correct it (given it's hardish to replicate and isn't happening to everyone), then brilliant work BA!

I kind of hope they've managed to fix the really bizzare one that I've reported about stadium selection, it seemed kind of worrying to me given what it was doing. Anyhow, that sly "It will" is making the old mind go into overdrive about the possibilities.
