Sorry but what's a backward shot?

Right Handed Backward shot : Batsman shot button in "Clock Direction 45 to 60" . Plus LT + RT , You can able to hit the shot in off side

Because touching crease while taking doubles is too mainstream

 

[SibiNaayagam]

How did you manage to play a square drive?

Backfoot, shot direction between 2'o clock and 4'o clock while timing it early. He played it between point and cover.

 

[weeramanthrie]

is it possible that added mods (i.e bats and uniforms) to DBC14 making the game crash once it a while?

How to play upper cut shot?

 

[Snowy]

On the back foot pointing towards third man?

On the back foot pointing towards third man?

so is not upper cut shot required LT press?
LAS backward + RAS to the direction of third man is it right ?

No it does require the LT otherwise it will be a dab or normal cut.

Boycott's at the wicket... so there's hope.[DOUBLEPOST=1435095440][/DOUBLEPOST]the AI finally declared 641 runs ahead. i'm currently 11-2. this is just humiliating!

@blockerdave How are you bowling on Veteran level? Are you using custom fields or only default fields? I've played 4 test matches with markk's India, Australia and South Africa team and I've managed to bowl AI out within 220-230 every time. I'm interested in knowing the match settings as I've never seen AI score that many runs.

it was using custom fields 90% of the time.

even for me this was bad - i'd got them for 300 first innings. in the second innings i took a couple of early wickets, but then they had a huge 4th wicket stand, and then even after that was broke the remaining stands were all around 50.

it must be said i was playing against my South Africa 1982 team as part of the Rebel Tour, they had an extremely strong batting lineup, with 3 players with FC averages above 50, and even their 9 & 10 had FC average over 25.

must also be said that i wasn't hitting the green zones on jump and pitch enough - this is the key to dismissing the AI.

i am looking forward to the challenge of batting out the remaining 110 overs and claiming the inevitable draw...

Hitting the green zone is the key indeed! You need to have both Jump Meter and Release Indicator in the green zone to be effective on Veteran. But even then, getting wicket would still be a random affair but you can certainly get the AI bogged down. I'm posting some pitch maps and by bowling this way I've managed to keep the AI down to about 2.5-3RPO. After a while they just throw their wicket away by playing usual aerial shot to mid off/mid on/cover region. It's pretty silly and frustrating really. After all the hard work I've put in to have control like this only to see the AI slogging and holing out to the said positions over and over again.
