OK, some more game play I started off thinking it was pretty average then moved to think it has some good potential to now having more questions than ever about the final product.
The AI just sucks at chasing targets, so I really hope there is some more realism to it, I can score 35-50 on Hard and then not even have England look like being in a chance to chase the target. They get around 19 and thats it. I have even lowered the totals to 30 and have them need 14-15 of the last over and not have a go. It totally baffles me as to why the AI is suppose to pace and have play differently as to the target but as usual this does not seem the case.
Im hoping this is just a bug, as its 3 overs each in a test so it doesnt see it as needing to chase down the revised target.
Also on that note, I would asume players play to their rating? Yet as usual again I can hit the ball just as well and score just as easily using a lower order batsman or bowler as I can with an opener. This is on hard level and really makes the stats and game play boring if it translates accross to the final game.
I have also found the use of front foot shot relatively useless as dancing down the pitch or using back foot shots to produce late cuts and hooks the best option to score runs. On hard I can hit a four or six with ease at least 2 ball an over by dancing down the wicket and picking the ball that can be smashed. Sometimes this may be 4-5 balls in an over and has just taken the need to play shots out of the equation.
