Don Bradman Cricket 14 - Issues and Anomalies after patch 2 [PS3/360]

[Biggs]

Haha... for what it's worth, I see no difference in the "impossible" fielding, if it's been changed? Bowler is still stopping everything within his follow-through arc, although he did drop a caught-and-bowled chance that the AI gave him. I also seem to be edging a lot more to the keeper, so... yay?

The fielding is changed with regards to drops but not the reflexes themselves, the biggest thing you should notice is that the run-outs and laser fielding is gone.

 

[Biggs]

Yup, the run-outs, especially when no "Run" is pressed, are all but gone... especially from the boundary line. In-close fielders tend to "flinch" away from the ball a little more often, even if their bodies tend to stop the ball, which is perfectly fine.

I also seem to be accumulating "Skill Points" a little more frequently in batting, or am I just noticing them more because, genuine shock, I'm better?

 

[BigAntStudios]

You might be getting better

 

[Biggs]

...you wash your mouth out, saying garbage like that.

 

[WEEVZ]

Woot! Finally getting consistent scores between 20 and 50! Bowling average is something like 7.5 in first class and I'm now at the "Getting Attention" selection thing for the Test side

Description of Issue: The press O to cancel run after pressing run bug is still there, the batsman just "walks back" into his crease, rather than the quickly-slide-bat-back-in animation that you get close-by to the crease, when you haven't attempted the run. Cancelling it, defaults to the old walk-back-in problem...

This has been my experience as well and have mentioned that in the "Patch #1 Released" thread. Batsman take their own sweet time to return to the crease once you cancel the run and don't bother sliding the bat in resulting in a run out. Unfortunately, the R2 button for sliding the bat in doesn't work once you cancel the run and you are essentially at the mercy of the game/graphics.

Description of Issue

Clean bowled two batsmen in the same game, but nothing happened (no wicket). Neither was a ?no ball?. *

One (16.1) hit middle stump, and nothing happened. I hit ?appeal?... nothing happened. The video shows another ball of the same over showing scores of 0 0 0 (not 0nb 0 0). I filmed this bit with one hand and bowled with the other, and managed a one-handed wicket!

The second (18.0) went behind the batsman but clipped off stump and was called a wide. Surely if it hits off stump it can?t be a wide, can it?

Also had an issue in a career ODI (Aus v NZ I think) earlier tonight (also post-patch) where the ball travels through the keeper and in to his glove. Caught behind! Obviously just a clipping error (or whatever you nerds call it) but I thought it was worth mentioning. The ball goes through his back, pop out is stomach and fall in to his glove to dismiss me. I was gutted.

Lastly; while waiting for my video to upload, I took a hat-trick in the final ODI (Aus v NZ). My first international hat-trick! I skipped though the cut-scenes to see the new batsman walking in, and the screen went black! I can hear the crowd but can?t do anything! Can get to the XMB and back but the game is eff?ed. It?s been five minutes now. Looks like I?m restarting the system...

I hope this info helps.

*In fact, I?m yet to bowl a ?no ball? with my career player. Is it even possible with a wrist spinner? I?m sure I?ve gone up on the RS really early/late many times but it?s never been called a no ball. My stats will back this up.

This is happening in career mode...Casual matches no idea...

Happened with test match in tour mode as well. Forfeited the match.
