I'm finding career mode to be a brutal affair. I used to average 60+ in career mode on the highest difficulty as a batsman, now I'm playing on rookie with batting set to 'easiest' and I struggle to get to 20. When I play on casual I'm alright, but the low skill of my career player combined with facing nothing but spin bowlers make it incredibly difficult.
Every shot I play goes straight to the fielder. Cut shots are out of the question because of the ridiculously OP slip & point fielders who catch everything within a 5 metre radius.
I appreciate the progression from club to first-class, but I'd like to have an option to start at first-class as endless T20s get very boring very quickly. I want time to get myself in and play a proper innings instead of playing rash shots against bowlers with such a low rating that there is no pace on the ball whatsoever.
I know this post sounds whiny but it's hard to enjoy career when the easiest of easiest difficulties is too hard.
