Loving the game, only played 1 five over game (player v Player) and 1 t20 (v AI) so far but looking forward to getting into it.
I noticed the following Bug:
Mode: Tour
Match Type: t20 (warmup match)
Over Count (Match Overs + When Occured): 7th over of second innings, AI batting
Ground: ?Get best? Durhams home ground (whatever that is)
Teams: My custome team vs ?Get Best? Durham
Get Best: Yes
Description of Issue: Bowled a full ball at the batsmans pads hit them and rolled onto the stumps dislodging the bails. No appeal no reaction. Game continued and registered it as a dot ball (ie not a no ball or anything). Replayed it a couple of times to make sure and definitely hit the stumps and dislodged bails. Unfortunately phone was dead so could not record it.
The following are not bugs but more design issues which in my opinion should be addressed in any patch to improve the game play experience:
Issues:
1) Lack of Fielding Radar ? I flagged this as an issue before I got the game and my limited play has confirmed it. The lack of fielding radar causes 2 issues:
a. In 2 players we both stopped to check the field repeatedly which really slowed down the pace of the game and caused the game to drag out
b. In single player playing against Durham in there black/dark blue kits under lights, I often lost players on the boundary against the backdrop and crowd. Got out twice hitting to what I though were vacant boundaries only to get caught in the deep. This was on a brand new 65inch HD Samsung so can hardly blame the display. I know they want to reduce HUD to enhance realism but the batsman not seeing a fielder and wide long off is not realistic.
2) Player Roles and Abilities when ?tweaking? Line Up ? When tweaking the standard line ups before a game you can view the player role (batsman, bowler, allrounder) but not what they are (spin, pace etc) or any of their attributes or abilities which makes selection difficult unless you know the players inside out. The option to view skills and attributes may be there and I may have missed it, if so I apologise.
3) Bowler abilities ? as far as I could see, the only thing you could view when changing bowlers was their ?helmet? level, what type of bowler and how many overs they had bowled. It seems odd that you can?t view their attributes or fatigue before bowling, especially as R3 lets you view the batsman?s strengths and weaknesses but not your own. Again it may be there already, if I missed it I apologise.
4) Pitch Conditions ? When pitch condition is set to ?random? you only find out what the conditions are like after you have selected your line-up. This resulted in me going into a t20 with 4 seamers and part time offie only to find out that the wicket was crumbling (the AI seems to have known what the conditions would be like and selected 3 spinners ? or maybe that was just the default). Really you should be able to asses the conditions before settling your line-up. Random should mean that the game decides the conditions for you ? not that it?s a complete surprise until the moment you step into the middle. (side note ? match in early April in Durham and the pitch is crumbling ? wtf?)
Congrats to Big Ant on their great work? I have a suspicion that more goodies are on the way to thank you for your work
