I'm using all reduced international teams made by "Friedele88" or something like that (sorry for getting the name wrong) however I am tempted to try normal skilled teams with this hack, because only reason I got reduced skill teams were so I could hopefully get edges before this hack was released!
Full auto fielding for me, I hate games with fielding...I feel like it takes away from the realism of the wicket having to play some mini game!

I'm playing mostly now with England Worst XI and Australia 1993 both of which are reduced skills. However the tour matches have been against non-reduced teams and I don't notice a difference.
Pre the current tour (so pre-hack too) I played a 16 team tournament with a mix of reduced and non-reduced and again saw little difference.

Are you playing with edited teams and full auto? I had a few matches where my fielders dropped some important catches, slips dropped some, outfielders...was a nightmare!
I've got a ton of videos of some wickets, I'm going to make them into a compilation and upload it later today I hope!

As I thinks been mentioned, no patch can be properly assessed by playing one innings or match. You have to play many matches under all different playing conditions and against many different skilled players / teams

repeating and reiterating this comment. my observations in respect of v1.01 are that we've lost something that was in the earlier versions.
i think we're getting less edges from the top order, but those dismissals appear to have been replaced by caught and bowleds. bowleds / lbws are a dominant form of dismissal against the top order, then edges come in the lower order. (i'd love this reversed - a good batsman is more likely to nick off, the poorer batsman to miss a straight one.) the actual LBW/bowled dismissals are generally lovely looking, far superior to the non-hacked game.
also, i don't even know if it's something the hack could have possibly touched, but i am dropping huge amounts of slip/gully catches (i use semi-auto fielding). i normally catch a high percentage whereas now i drop far far more than i catch - could anything you've done affect that @francobaldo1 ?
the big positive is we've got tailenders playing as they should - i'm finding it easier to mop up the tail, and though they do wag sometimes, it's generally a 20/30/40 not a 60/70, and often it's in partnership with a proper batsman.
biggest negative is i think the balance is too much in the bowler's favour in general. i need to play v1.01 some more on good pitches, but if the pitch is cracked / dusty / worn etc. i'm gonna bowl them out for sub-200.

yes it seems on normal on v1.01 there are less edges, my first thought is that in previous versions the bowler gains an advantage
in confidence with the hack active, while now in 1.01 is more balanced. Also the hack makes the shot difficult, and the batsmen
often drive in front of them, so there is a caught and bowled. Shouldnt be difficult to find a solution i think.
For the dropped catches i think the game consider catches at slips "difficult", so maybe the fielder must have a decent attributes in catching to succeed.

I've not had much problem with dropped catches tbh, I know this is probably placebo but the match where there were dropped catches...they all happened in the same match which made it feel real as hell. Dropped at slip, dropped in the deep, dropped in the circle...was pretty bad.
Going to smash this out over the weekend, then got a week off!
@francobaldo1 what we talking? got anything new for me to get stuck into ha!

there are a lot of good news, i had some progress with the hack and i have a feel that version 2.0
should be really good and balanced, but it will need some days. Unfortunately removing bugs is being
a little annoying, but i'll try to release a small update in the next hours.

Really great news, can't wait to try it. Once again big thank you from me, I'd literally stopped playing the game having only just bought it about a month ago and this hack has made it damn near perfect!
I think that problem is specifically happening to you? I do full-auto fielding and they rarely drop catches.
