Cartwheeling stumps - the new 'Sockgate'. I mean seriously?

 

[Alberts]

I like that they've shown off the cartwheeling a bit, but it really should be rarer and really take the ball thundering through the stumps.

I'm guessing it was more a case of showing off the physics and giving people something to want to try in the lull before patch 3.

Loving the first world problems

"First World Problems" as a concept are terribly harmful. It gives the impression that problems are absolute, rather than relative, and I've seen cases with people with depression trying to justify not getting help due to their "first world problems" not being enough of a "worry" while watching them fall apart. No matter how far you go on a "spectrum" of problems, there's pretty much always someone "better off" or "worse off", and this entire "FWP" nonsense is both a weak joke and a harmful destructive meme to spread.

I get what you're saying, you think it's a minor point to bring up, I just find the joke "First World Problems" utterly pathetic and disgusting.

It's well worth noting that these are exactly the criticisms needed for a game like this to know where to go in the future and how to grow.

Nope, what I intended that to mean is I'm loving the fact we have minor problems.

Not going to go into the rest of your post here, let's leave it at that

There are still many not so minor issues. Personally I feel playing off my legs, watching it fly off as though it's going for four, only to warp back into the leg stump to be quite serious, as are a number of issues heading up the list for patch 3, and the bug where catches behind are given out, celebrated, but then suddenly dot balls with no other events happening.

Some nice little touches last night that I hadn't seen before
- Got a few few catches at 1st slip off my bowling. Keeper didn't flinch
- Took a caught and bowled at the 2nd attempt after juggling the initial chance
- Got myself caught at gully whilst batting after slicing a drive

I don't now if 1.12 or 1.13 made these scenarios anymore likely but I was seriously impressed when each of them occured.

God this game is addictive!

Loving the stumps flying, and the nicks to the slips etc when bowling.
Its a kick in the nuts though when you batting and your wickets go flying down the field, or you nick it to the slips.

A sensible post on an internet forum? Where are my Ultra Balls?

This doesn't look great! Cart wheeling for a finger spin bowler? Really!

Thats what you get when BA say "Exagerated Stump Physics" . Probably just a show of how they could make it go , I`m sure the final touch will have it toned down to near life levels.

Very happy to read all the positive reviews about the patches released....

 

[MasterBlaster76]

Is there a chance that the non-striker was on a big score and had high fatigue?

Edit: Quoted wrong post, but same question @MasterBlaster76

Good point. Still, the twat could've dived or something ha ha!

Actually you need to press the dive button for the non striker AI to dive in career.....Weird but true...

 

[MasterBlaster76]

So is this not the finalised patch then - is there another yet to come before long?

They've given those stump physics a fearsome tweak!
