18?????

 

[Deleted member 46200]

Huge change of subject...

Tonight I was out drinking with a woman who looked exactly like the default female player on DB17, only with blonder hair.

I told her she looked just like the base player on a cricket video game and she was so impressed that we are now married with three kids.

You got married in one day? Wow, took me three years to convince him I wasn't a total waste of space, dam, not allowed to mention that as it upsets the psychopaths!!!

Have you played the women's career as there're some differences not many but some. Maybe there is something wrong with a default model...? Just thinking but this isn't EA Sports.

18?????

Yes 18. In 6.4 overs.

And just after the AI as NZ WC92 had posted 141 vs me as England WC92 batting first.

Problem seems to be mainly in chasing.

 

[Cloud Starkman]

Anyone else finding the AI can't chase on T20s

I'm bowling on legend hardest with default sliders, the last 3 innings chasing the AI has scored 26 (South Africa WC92 vs West Indies WC92 chasing 144), 99 (India WC92 vs Zimbabwe WC92 chasing 101) and 18 (West Indies WC92 vs Pakistan WC92 chasing 131)

It's effectively killed the format/competition for me: if I bat first then I win.

What difficulty have you got the batting on I have mine on easy and am not having much fun the AI gets out to easy it was fine before patch 3
Now playing on legend and getting same results as on pro so I think match difficulty is not doing anything
I am going Th put batting and Bowling difficulties up to hard and see if that helps as with it on easy might be effecting AI

I have the batting on Medium, bowling on hardest and AI on legend: all physics sliders default.

It really should not be possible to dismiss the AI for 18 in 6.4 overs...

I am wondering if it's another logo related gameplay issue but before I delete everything again I was wondering what others are experiencing?

I tried to delete everything played on out of the box ground Adelaide gardens no logos default blank bats and still got same result in regards to the AI batting so I dont think its the logos I have found it to be since patch 3
Before patch 3 the AI made 430 and 0/45 next game 256 and 449 and thats on pro on custom stadiums then patch 3 came out 194 and 204 next game 194 and 199 next game 170 and 135 this game was on Adelaide gardens no logos then I increased the top 7 batsman to max skills for batting and get them out for 203 I can pretty much predict what score they will make and in how many overs
My next step was to increase batting and Bowling difficulties to hard to see if that improves the AI so I'm starting to think its from patch 3 somehow
If the next step doesn't do anything I will stop playing till patch 4 comes out I find it pretty disappointing that it was good before patch 3 i just hope BA can fix it up cause at present it is no fun its like playing the old cricket games where there is no point playing against AI an DBC has never been like those games

It maybe they have eased up the AI in patch 3 but have over done it?

Thats what I'm starting to think

It's really getting irritating to play the game due the 3 main issues

1. The fielders throwing the ball towards the stumps every time, even when it's not required resulting in needless over throws while at times even when the bowler reaches the stumps , he does not collect the ball and results in over throws

2. Field presets not getting applied or sometimes the preset is applied incorrectly to show third man and fly slip but no one at mid on. Also the field sets get over turned by AI randomly, only for you to find after having bowled the ball. It's irritating honestly

3. A.I having poor fielding presets and not bowling to the field at times resulting in easy runs


Is there a confirmation that there is another patch underway?

Well as a broader, more general quote, there's this from a few days ago. Make of that what you will.

Thanks @inertSpark - everyone at Big Ant appreciates the support. We are still working on the game, patches will follow that will no doubt improve the experience, and no doubt the broader community appreciates your work.

Those are (particularly the first two) massive irritants. There are many other minor-medium level bugs still, but those ones have a large impact on the game. They can cumulatively change the result of games outcomes. I mean you buy a game and then random factors (which should not be in the game) can grab a hold of the game and change the result? That's serious enough that you'd think there'd be some more detailed progress report by now, patient or not.

Could it be that these bugs haven't been solved as yet? Who knows? Only the people who aren't telling us.

Still, we've had three patches, so aren't we lucky?

I did think the fielders were supposed to have different return speeds making you able to take the cheeky single or call for two based on the fielders ability to chase, pick up and return. If they can all return the ball the same then it negates this?

I'm not sure what you're meaning, as I didn't mention return speeds. I may as well give my opinion on this now, I do think that the bowler should have an increased ability to quickly get back into a fielding position at the bowlers end stumps and I do think that fielders who are nearest to the return throw on the other side of the field should also have a slight increase to their speed to protect against overthrows.

Actual ball chasing fielders should just be able to chase the ball at the speed reflected in their stats.
