Has anyone played with the broadcast cam? wondering if anyone can put a video of that up too?

In carrer mode, how do you get selected in the team? Does the AI just replace you for the batting postion you choose(if you choose 3, the batsman at no.3 gets replaced by your player) or it chooses the best team?

God it's a tough game ross, i have been shouting at the screen like a school girl for hours. Out for 61 so i am improving.

If you fix the AI fields and the Ai patch bowling, sure no one bowls like glenn mcgrath but they are all over the place.

Still great job Bigant. PS I love hitting the silly mid on and off as they are near me so much.

Don't you mean BOREcast cam? The new flavour cameras are much nicer...

 

[blockerdave]

@Biggs, have you seen any videos or screenshots with your bat yet?

Lol why the hate on broadcast cam?

 

[BRAB]

If not biggs I can quickly film it on my phone.

Also guys, the game will automatically simulate a game on the loading screen if you don't press start!

Yes i like it, you just have to focus on the pitch and only a little on the bowler. Harder than the nets that for sure.

PS I miss my Xbox control pad, the PS3 one just feels strange at the moment.

PS I have downloaded the teams.: Thanks Guys.

Cool, yer i was also thinking how local multiplayer would be played and most likely broadcast camera would be the best for that.

Ross i was thinking of a way to fix the AI fields without hurting the code, it's a different way but maybe easier or not you be the judge. Let us pick the ai fields for them or a select number, you could have it done a number of ways. Full control, semi control and off. Meaning we pick the fields and the AI use them. Please what do you think.

Have I mentioned recently how much I love bowling?

So satisfying when it all comes together. Just so totally different than every other game, and is so much better for it.

Still can't ramp up the difficulty level, but wow.

Ditto! I am in love with the bowling mechanics. The game actually rewards you for all the hardwork and the kind of challenge it tosses really makes you work for your wickets. Bowling is easily the best aspect of this game for me. Just so that you know, I prefer the broadcast cam for bowling.

Kinda feels like MLB The Show. I hope BigAnt can bring presentation upto that level in next iteration. But who am I talking about when I still havn't played the game

I am yet to understand it fully yet MattW. PS what do you think about custom options for AI fields MattW ?

@Biggs, have you seen any videos or screenshots with your bat yet?

Not yet, but I don't expect my whimsy is people's priority in the game right now, would love a shot or two though. It should be my default bat on the PC.net team, if anyone is using that...
